Coherence on BGM_103, the menu's bank, with controls run first: a real linear
filter of wave 0 reads 0.93-0.94 in every band, a different bank reads 0.001, and
wave 0 misaligned by 1 s reads 0.004-0.057. The measurement reads 0.027 at 1-4 kHz,
so the 'wave 1 is wave 0 filtered' model is refuted.
The frequency structure is inverted relative to any mic-pair or reverb model:
coherence rises with frequency (0.169 -> 0.827) while energy falls (71 % -> 0.2 %),
and a rear pair decorrelates fastest at HF. In the midrange the two waves are 13x
further apart than the two channels of one wave.
But the L-R control is what limits the tool and it is recorded as such: within one
wave, genuinely one performance in two channels, coherence is only 0.221-0.497. So
'same performance' does not imply high coherence here, my positive control was the
wrong model of the rear-pair reading, and the 🟡 is NOT settled. The tool tests for
linear filtering and neither surviving reading requires it.
Also corrects MISSION's Q10 row, which still carried the refuted three-sub-wave
premise and had directed work at a dead question for days. Its gate is in fact met.
