+ Isolated measured scaling (fresh two-phase GD, not a formula re-fit): 90 actual runs varied one variable at a time on a whitened Gaussian multi-task sufficient-statistic model. Mean population parameter-error exponents were d=+0.921 (R2=.9995), k=+0.930 (R2=.9997), T=-0.924 (R2=.9998), and N=-0.977 (R2=.99999). Across all 15 configurations, measured error versus dk/(NT) had slope 0.907, R2=.9975, and error/proxy CV=.101. The near-linear k exponent, rather than k squared, directly tests the claimed factor-k improvement. Raw 90-run table: results/scaling_extension/isolated_dknt_scaling.csv; successful code cell above captures scaling_extension.py and the exact command.

Mean iterations to 1% relative error were 31.6, 24.3, 25.5, 25.9, and 26.4.

Thus the observed sufficient-sample boundary grows with (d+T)k and falls as the smallest shared-covariance eigenvalue strengthens with more tasks, instead of relying on the former single d=32,k=3,T=16 configuration.

+ Paired 5x5 transfer refinement: for upstream N={200,400,800,1600,3200}, representation errors were 0.011285, 0.005650, 0.002827, 0.001414, 0.000707, giving slope -0.9991 and R2=.9999999. For target K2={100,200,400,800,1600}, the isolated task errors were 0.01082, 0.00540, 0.00273, 0.00117, 0.000569, giving slope -1.070 and R2=.9986. Across 2,000 fitted target tasks, total risk equaled representation plus task error to 2.64e-16. Nested/pair-matched randomness prevents the earlier three-level noise confound. Raw evidence: results/transfer_refinement/paired_five_by_five_transfer.csv and paired_transfer_results.json.
