Highest Priority Holds

• coefficient_or_calibration_debt 6-Documentation/wiki/Network-Topology-Theory.md:170: as 0.799151 and remains HOLD until coefficient receipts, negative controls,
• general_hold_surface 6-Documentation/wiki/Network-Topology-Theory.md:261: π_{k-1}(X) if closure holds and counted cost decreases
• topology_prediction_debt 6-Documentation/wiki/Network-Topology-Theory.md:266: This bridge is a HOLD model chart. It does not validate network predictions or
• general_hold_surface 6-Documentation/wiki/Network-Topology-Theory.md:386: GATE_NEGATIVE_TRANSFER: if shared_structure(A, B) < threshold: REFUSE_ADAPTATION
• receipt_gate_debt 6-Documentation/wiki/Network-Topology-Theory.md:528: closure, and mountains-on-mountains receipts. Claim boundary remains HOLD until
• security_proof_debt 6-Documentation/wiki/Network-Topology-Theory.md:609: - HOLD_SECURITY_PROOF_DEBT: Adaptive coefficients are not privacy-equivalent to fresh random Beaver masks unless independence, freshness, secret-sharing, and non-reuse proofs close.
• receipt_gate_debt 6-Documentation/wiki/Network-Topology-Theory.md:618: HOLD Receipt Status:
• general_hold_surface 6-Documentation/wiki/Network-Topology-Theory.md:619: - Waveprobe eigenmode separation: Supported by transfer smoothing fixtures; HOLD for broader negative controls
• coefficient_or_calibration_debt 6-Documentation/wiki/Network-Topology-Theory.md:620: - Metaprobe compression metrics: Supported by metafoam analysis fixtures; HOLD for coefficient calibration
• general_hold_surface 6-Documentation/wiki/Network-Topology-Theory.md:621: - Holographic encoding: Supported by exact decode closure fixtures; HOLD for corpus breadth
• general_hold_surface 6-Documentation/wiki/Network-Topology-Theory.md:622: - Fractional dynamics: Supported by memory kernel analysis fixtures; HOLD for cross-domain replay
• general_hold_surface 6-Documentation/wiki/Network-Topology-Theory.md:760: impact energy -> pressure wave -> local displacement witness -> threshold gate -> state transition
• general_hold_surface 6-Documentation/wiki/Network-Topology-Theory.md:767: - Witness: statolith displacement above a threshold
• general_hold_surface 6-Documentation/wiki/Network-Topology-Theory.md:781: This stays marked as HOLD_MECHANISTIC_ANALOGUE: it supports a shock-transfer
• general_hold_surface 6-Documentation/wiki/Network-Topology-Theory.md:782: and threshold-gate model, not a broad claim that all plant sound response has

Claim Boundary

This audit does not promote any HOLD claim. It only checks which weak surfaces are currently covered by prover, compiler, and FPGA-witness receipts.
