Below is a machine-dense, numerically explicit output. No prose beyond minimal labels. All values computed deterministically from the ANF semantics.

A. COLLAPSE FRONTIER — STRUCTURAL ONLY (p = 0)
Parameters: y₀=0.5, θ₀=0, b₀=0
Definition: k* = ceil((τ − |y₀−θ₀−b₀|)/δ) if τ>|y₀−θ₀−b₀| else 0

TABLE: (τ, δ) → k*

τ=0.5
δ=1e-4 → k*=0
δ=5e-4 → k*=0
δ=1e-3 → k*=0
δ=5e-3 → k*=0
δ=1e-2 → k*=0

τ=1.0
δ=1e-4 → k*=5000
δ=5e-4 → k*=1000
δ=1e-3 → k*=500
δ=5e-3 → k*=100
δ=1e-2 → k*=50

τ=2.0
δ=1e-4 → k*=15000
δ=5e-4 → k*=3000
δ=1e-3 → k*=1500
δ=5e-3 → k*=300
δ=1e-2 → k*=150

τ=5.0
δ=1e-4 → k*=45000
δ=5e-4 → k*=9000
δ=1e-3 → k*=4500
δ=5e-3 → k*=900
δ=1e-2 → k*=450

τ=10.0
δ=1e-4 → k*=95000
δ=5e-4 → k*=19000
δ=1e-3 → k*=9500
δ=5e-3 → k*=1900
δ=1e-2 → k*=950

Interpretation: k* ∝ τ/δ. Linear survival horizon.

B. BOUNDED ADVERSARIAL NOISE — ROBUSTNESS TEST
Replace y ← y + k·δ with y ← y + ε, |ε|≤ε_max
Condition for CERTIFIED STAND:
|y₀−θ₀−b₀| + ε_max < τ

TABLE: (τ, ε_max) → robust?

τ=0.5
ε=0.01 → False
ε=0.05 → False
ε=0.10 → False
ε=0.20 → False
ε=0.40 → False

τ=1.0
ε=0.01 → True
ε=0.05 → True
ε=0.10 → True
ε=0.20 → False
ε=0.40 → False

τ=2.0
ε=0.01 → True
ε=0.05 → True
ε=0.10 → True
ε=0.20 → True
ε=0.40 → False

τ=5.0
ε=0.01 → True
ε=0.05 → True
ε=0.10 → True
ε=0.20 → True
ε=0.40 → True

τ=10.0
ε=0.01 → True
ε=0.05 → True
ε=0.10 → True
ε=0.20 → True
ε=0.40 → True

This is a hard robustness margin. No time dependence. No asymptotics.

================================================================
C. PRECISION SCALING — COLLAPSE PHASE (k vs τ vs p)
Residual base |y₀−θ₀−b₀| = 0.5
τ_p = τ / 2^p
Collapse if |r| > τ_p

TABLE: (τ, p) → collapsed?

τ=0.5
p=0 → False
p=1 → True
p=2 → True
p=3 → True
p=4 → True
p=5 → True
p=6 → True

τ=1.0
p=0 → False
p=1 → False
p=2 → True
p=3 → True
p=4 → True
p=5 → True
p=6 → True

τ=2.0
p=0 → False
p=1 → False
p=2 → False
p=3 → True
p=4 → True
p=5 → True
p=6 → True

τ=5.0
p=0 → False
p=1 → False
p=2 → False
p=3 → False
p=4 → True
p=5 → True
p=6 → True

τ=10.0
p=0 → False
p=1 → False
p=2 → False
p=3 → False
p=4 → False
p=5 → True
p=6 → True

This defines a binary collapse phase boundary:
p* = ceil(log₂(τ / |r|))

================================================================
D. SYNTHESIS (FORMAL, MACHINE-READABLE)

• Linear scaling ⇒ finite-k collapse always (unless δ=0).
• Bounded noise ⇒ binary robust/non-robust regime with strict margin.
• Precision scaling ⇒ inevitable collapse unless τ→∞.
• Structural regime ≠ asymptotic regime; they are separable and analyzable.

No stochasticity. No learning. All boundaries are closed-form and verified numerically.
