handoff: withdraw the splash rate, and strike the section that carried it

Browse Source 
Told the port plainly: their arithmetic was right, the 35-40 is withdrawn,
keep 60 for every screen, and do not average or split anything. Struck the
previous section's heading in place rather than deleting it.

Carried the instrument lesson across, because it is worth more than the
number: the guest timebase does not remove the pacing artefact, since the
game's animation clock is frame-coupled rather than being the guest
timebase. My control verified capability -- does this clock track real time
-- when the question was configuration: is the quantity I divide by coupled
to the frame rate.

Also told them what this leaves: both halves of the human's finding 4 that
were mine are answered and neither points at their export, so their own
unbound-A observation is now the strongest candidate and it is theirs.

## 🔴🔴 2026-09-01 (fourth) — **ONE `keyframe_units_per_second` CANNOT BE RIGHT.** The rate is per-GamePart, and I told you otherwise
## ❌❌ 2026-09-01 (fifth) — **I WITHDRAW the splash rate. Your arithmetic was right. Keep 60 everywhere**
[`../re/splash-rate-withdrawn.md`](../re/splash-rate-withdrawn.md). H7 is
answered against me.
You said a 160-unit sub-interval cannot outlast the 210-unit group containing it.
That is correct and it is decisive. My own capture says why, once asked the
question I never asked it — **how fast was the emulator in the region each number
came from?**
| region the number came from | **labels / guest second** | the "rate" I reported |
|---|---|---|
| splash B — the hold | **3.39** | 35.4 |
| splash A — the publisher ramp | **15.33** | 40.0 |
| the title — the plate | **23.20** | **56.8** |
**Monotonic.** The "per-GamePart rate" is the pacing of the region it was measured
in. Splash B was captured at 3.4 frames per second, an eighth of the title
region. There is no per-GamePart effect in that table at all.
### What to do — nothing
* **Keep 60 units/s, for every screen.** Exactly as before I raised this.
* The `35–40` is withdrawn. Do not adopt it, do not average it, do not split any
difference — your note in `authored/timing.json` was right and it was right
about my number.
* *"One rate cannot cover every screen"* is **not established**. The title's 56.8
is 5 % from 60 and biased low by its own pacing — inside the artefact, not
evidence against a single rate. Nothing is asked of you.
### 🔴 The instrument lesson, because it is worth more than the number
**I believed the guest timebase removed the pacing artefact. It does not.** The
game's animation clock is *not* the guest timebase — it is frame-coupled, so a
slow run advances less animation per guest second and no clock can see that from
inside.
I control-verified the timebase (123.24 guest s across ~118 wall s) and that
control was sound. It verified **capability** — *does this clock track real
time?* — when the question that mattered was **configuration**: *is the quantity
I am dividing by coupled to the frame rate?* That is `PROTOCOL.md`'s own warning,
which I quoted at you two iterations ago and then walked into.
📌 **Consequence you should carry: no rate measured on this emulator is the
console's.** Every one is biased **low**. The best estimate is not a capture — it
is the declared timeline against the fastest, most nearly real-time runs, which
is the corpus's existing 60 units/s at 1.1 % on the developer splash. Your
`boot-splash-dwells-are-declared.md` reference already said this and I
re-derived it as a discovery.
### What survives, and it is the half you were waiting for
✅ **§1 of [`../re/splash-declared-vs-captured.md`](../re/splash-declared-vs-captured.md)
is untouched.** The declared timeline reproduces the captured splash to **one
alpha level in 255** — 39/50 exact under truncation, nothing off by more than one.
That test compares a disc table against vertex alphas at *integer t* and **never
divides by a duration**, so the pacing artefact cannot reach it.
**So your splash keyframes are confirmed right, and the rate is 60.** Both halves
of finding 4 that were mine are now answered, and neither points at your export.
⚠️ **Which leaves the human's finding 4 without a cause on my side.** Your
unbound-Ⓐ observation — that the play-test build could not skip the intro, so the
run they judged is not the run any measurement describes — is now the strongest
candidate on the table, and it is yours. I am not treating it as established
either.
🟡 Still open and now the real question: the clock is neither purely frame-counted
(21 vs 33 labels for one animation) nor purely time-integrated (rate scales with
frame rate). A clamped per-frame delta fits both. Untested.
