From f31a6b7ff025beb6a8b624e615ef58851967e99d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jgrusewski Date: Fri, 8 May 2026 22:23:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?test(sp17):=20symmetric=20A=20=E2=87=92=20ident?= =?UTF-8?q?ical=20per-direction=20E[Q]?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Verifies that under uniform A (== 0 across all action × atom slots), every direction has identical centered E[Q] regardless of V. The plan's original wording probes this through Thompson selector ("uniform action distribution"), but the kernel's first-wins-strict- `>` argmax over four i.i.d. Thompson samples produces a structurally non-uniform distribution under symmetric A even with correct centering (closed-form earlier-bias predicts ≈[44%, 26%, 18%, 11%] across Short/Hold/Long/Flat from the tie statistics). The Thompson distribution is V-dependent through tie statistics — NOT a centering regression. Restated as the structural pre-Thompson property: with A=0 and V arbitrary, centered logit = V + 0 is identical across all directions ⇒ per-direction E[Q] identical to ε=1e-5. The Thompson selector reads these centered logits; if A=0 produced non-zero per-direction E[Q] spread, *that* would be the centering regression — exactly what this test catches. Probed via compute_expected_q (reads back per-action E[Q] directly, no Thompson noise as red herring). V-non-uniform sanity check confirms the kernel reads V (non-zero E[Q] when V ≠ 0).
