Records the full compression investigation as a repo doc plus the scripts that
back every number (real coders, byte-exact lossless round-trips, no straw
baselines). One law: recoverable <=> sparse/structured; no method beats K(data),
schemes only relocate bits between model and residual columns.
Findings (all measured): char-poly = integrity receipt not compressor; Braille/T9
= 4.167 b/B, loses to xz; "16D/583x" GW ringdown = zero-noise self-fit artifact,
~1.5x tying/losing to LPC on noisy strain; frozen-model conservation law
(k=3 smallest tape, worst total); Semantic Mass Number = base conversion
(1.00-1.10x, bijection); capstone superposition/compressed-sensing cliff
(recoverable iff k <= ~d/log N). Honest home for all: receipts/addresses/
recoverability gates (GCCL/RRC), never the ratio column.
docs/research/COMPRESSION_HONEST_FINDINGS.md + scripts/compression/ (7 scripts + README).
