sylph-decoder dcfb53bc9b re: a bank's wave 1 is not a filtered copy of wave 0 -- and my own discriminator cannot finish the job
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.

# Is a music bank's wave 1 the SAME instruments filtered, or DIFFERENT parts?
# BGM_103 (the menu's music) -- 2026-08-30
#
# structures/bgm-two-stems.md leaves two readings alive for wave 1: the rear
# pair of a 4-channel mix, or a second intensity layer -- and correctly notes
# that runtime simultaneity cannot separate them, because both predict it.
# This is a static attempt at a discriminator.
#
# METHOD: magnitude-squared coherence, Welch, NFFT 8192 @ 48 kHz, 60 s window
# (702 segments, so the bias floor is ~1/702 = 0.0014). Coherence is ~1 wherever
# one signal is a LINEAR FILTER of the other and ~0 for independent signals.

# READING IT
#
# ✅ THE INSTRUMENT IS CALIBRATED. A real linear filter of w0 reads 0.93-0.94 in
# every band; a different bank reads 0.001-0.002; w0 against itself misaligned by
# 1 s reads 0.004-0.057. So the estimator detects filtering and is not fooled by
# two pieces of music in the same codec.
#
# ❌ REFUTED: "wave 1 is wave 0 put through a filter." The positive control says
# a filter reads 0.936 at 1-4 kHz. The measurement reads 0.027 there. No linear
# filter produces that in a band where both waves carry energy.
#
# 📌 THE FREQUENCY STRUCTURE IS INVERTED relative to any mic-pair or reverb
# model. Coherence RISES with frequency -- 0.169, 0.184, 0.027, 0.635, 0.768,
# 0.827 -- while energy FALLS -- 71.4 %, 24.8 %, 2.4 %, 1.0 %, 0.1 %, 0.2 %.
# A rear pair or a reverb return decorrelates FASTEST at high frequency, which
# is the opposite. What is coherent lives in bands holding ~1.3 % of the energy;
# the bands holding 96 % of it read 0.169 and 0.184.
#
# 📌 AND IN THE MUSICAL MIDRANGE THE TWO WAVES ARE FURTHER APART THAN THE TWO
# CHANNELS OF ONE WAVE: 1-4 kHz gives 0.027 between waves against 0.363 for w0's
# own L vs R -- a factor of 13. Two channels of one performance agree far more
# than the two waves do.
#
# 🔴 BUT THE L-R CONTROL IS ALSO WHAT LIMITS THIS TOOL, AND IT KILLS THE CLEAN
# ANSWER. L vs R within a single wave is genuinely "one performance, two
# channels", and it reads only 0.221-0.497 -- nowhere near the 0.94 a filter
# gives. So in THIS material "same performance" does not imply high coherence,
# which means my positive control was the wrong model of the rear-pair reading:
# a real 4-channel mix's rear pair is not a linear filter of its front pair.
#
# => The filter model is dead. The two named readings are NOT separated. This
# tool cannot separate them, and the reason is stated rather than discovered
# later: it tests for linear filtering, and neither reading requires it.
#
# ⚠️ REACH: one bank (BGM_103), one 60 s window, mono-summed for the coherence
# rows. Not run over the other 31 banks. The 16-24 kHz reading of 0.827 sits in
# 0.2-0.6 % of the energy and is unexplained -- it is NOT generic codec
# behaviour, since the different-bank control reads 0.002 in the same band.
