Recursive Spiral-Time Host-Selection Audit Archive v0.8: Null-Ladder Tests, Native 6D Carrier Construction, Orientation Fingerprints, and Kinetic-Prefactor Response in the HLV Framework

This archive contains the reproducible simulation and audit outputs for version 0.8 of the Recursive Spiral-Time Host-Selection Audit within the Helix–Light–Vortex (HLV) framework. The purpose of the archive is not to claim physical validation of HLV, spacetime emergence, quantum field theoretic recovery, particle derivation, Standard Model recovery, or the BD17A theta = 2/9 holonomy bridge. Instead, the archive documents a staged, hash-locked, null-gated computational audit designed to test whether a recursive triadic Spiral-Time construction can produce a non-injected rank-6 host-selection candidate and whether downstream carrier and dynamical signatures survive matched controls. The archive includes the original run ZIP files, extracted result folders, locked configuration files, source/configuration hashes, audit manifests, claim-state ledgers, summary tables, figures, and review notes for the following stages: Stage 0: Run A/B smoke test. Stage 1: Run A/B primary 10k null-ladder audit. Stage 2: Run C scaling and non-circularity test across n = 2, 3, 4, 5. Stage 3: Native 6D carrier construction with no projected-kNN primary carrier. Stage 4: Broad residualized carrier-fingerprint test. Stage 4B: Orientation-sensitive native-carrier fingerprint test, including primary and deep runs. Stage 5: Spiral-Time kinetic-prefactor response test. The current claim-state is mixed and deliberately conservative. Run A/B supports a robust 3x3 -> k* = 6 host-selection candidate under the declared null ladder. The scaling audit is restricted by a low-dimensional n = 2 shuffled-label degeneracy. The native 6D carrier construction passes as a restricted implementation/no-kNN discipline test, but broad residualized fingerprint separation is blocked by matched controls. Orientation-sensitive carrier features survive the declared orientation-null ladder in both primary and deep tests, yielding a restricted orientation-sensitive native-carrier fingerprint candidate. The kinetic-prefactor response test is blocked: the imposed structured A(t) response is not uniquely separated from smooth-noise and shuffled-A nulls, and native-carrier kinetic specificity is not supported at this stage. This archive is therefore best interpreted as a transparent computational audit record with both positive and negative outcomes. It preserves failures and residuals explicitly rather than treating them as exclusions from the data record. The results motivate a limited methodological paper on staged claim-state auditing, null-ladder discipline, and residual-preserving simulation governance for speculative mathematical-physics frameworks.
