COUCH Data Magnetic-Domain Comparison

This comparison runs the same byte-signal to magnetic-domain transfold used for enwik8 against the local COUCH JSON data bundle.

Read

The COUCH bundle returns the same magnetic-domain shape class but in a smaller, cooler regime:

COUCH mean heat loss is about 0.239, versus enwik8 1 MiB at about 0.973.
COUCH mean remanence is higher, about 0.889 versus 0.844.
COUCH mean susceptibility is lower, about 0.569 versus 0.746.

That suggests COUCH data is more memory-like and less transition-agitated under this transform. In routing terms, COUCH looks like a compact high-remanence surface that should prefer dictionary/state reuse, while enwik8 looks like a larger high-transition surface that needs more boundary-aware shaping.

Claim boundary:

This is a byte-statistical magnetic-domain analogue. It supports routing and stress-test comparisons only; it is not a proof of compression improvement.
