E-006 results analysis:
- λ=0.5: d=917, rank=869 (of N'=2044 zeros available... d=917 < N' so full column rank possible: rank 869 < 917 — 48 below). λ_min+ = 6.6e-10, ratio to mean ~2.9e-10.
- λ=1.0: d=1834, rank 1784, λ_min+ = 2.6e-10, ratio 2.4e-10.
- λ=1.5: d=2751 > N'=2044 (dim deficit) — rank 1974 < 2044?? Should be ~2044. Hmm, 1974 < N' — noise threshold 1e-10·λ_max: with λ_max=2.1, threshold = 2.1e-10; rank 1974 means 70 positive-but-tiny eigenvalues below... wait rank counts eigenvalues ABOVE noise = 1974, while N'=2044 vectors: the extra 777 rows are redundant (zero eigenvalues up to numerical noise ~1e-16·...). The "smallest positive" at λ=1.5 is 9e-10 — but the true zero block (777 dims) is computed as ~1e-16-ish values, and "positive" ones above 2.1e-10 number 1974 < 2044: so 70 of the 2044 "true" eigenvalues are BELOW 2.1e-10?? That means the true positive spectrum has very small eigenvalues ~1e-10 — near the FFT-interpolation noise floor (~1e-5 relative entry error → eigenvalue noise ~1e-5·λ_max/d-ish... hmm, actually the frame self-test error was 1e-5 relative, so G entries have absolute error ~1e-5·(entry scale)... G entries scale ~1 (diag ~1); eigenvalue errors ~1e-5·√d ~ 4e-4?? That can't be — then λ_min+ ~ 1e-10 couldn't be trusted...
Hold on. The floor values 1e-10 are BELOW my interpolation accuracy? Let me think: frame self-test error 1e-5 relative was for the L¹-type sum; individual spline evaluations are much more accurate (cubic spline error ~1e-8-1e-10 absolute for smooth functions on fine grids). The FFT grid: spacing 2π/(8L) ~ 0.07-0.14; ϕ̂ is entire, bandlimited-ish... spline error per eval maybe 1e-10-1e-12. So eigenvalue floor 1e-10 might be genuine OR interpolation noise — ambiguous. The honest interpretation: λ_min+ ~ 1e-9-1e-10 across ALL λ (roughly CONSTANT, not decaying!) — suggests it's a NOISE FLOOR, not the true mathematical floor. The true smallest positive eigenvalue could be smaller than our resolution.
Key observation: the ratio min+/mean ~ 1e-9–1e-10 does NOT show dramatic decay from λ=0.5 to λ=2.0 (2.9e-10 → 2.4e-10 → 9e-10 → 3.7e-10 — flat!). Two readings: (a) the true floor is below our numerical resolution at all λ — we can't see the horizon with float64 + spline pipeline; (b) the floor genuinely stays ~1e-9 relative — but that contradicts Kim et al.'s superexponential decay for Suzuki's operator (different operator though — theirs is the archimedean/screw operator, not the zero-side Gabor truncation).
Also rank findings: at λ=0.5, d=917 but rank only 869: 48 eigenvalues below noise even though d < N'. At λ=1.0: 1834 vs rank 1784 — 50 below. So ~50 tiny eigenvalues regardless — consistent with a genuine cluster of small eigenvalues near/below 1e-8·λ_max... borderline.
Honest conclusion for E-006: with float64, our truncation's eigenvalue floor sits at/below ~1e-10 relative — we CANNOT resolve whether the true floor decays superexponentially; the measurement is resolution-limited. This is itself a useful calibration result: (1) the positivity horizon is beyond float64 reach at these T — need extended precision (mpmath) eigensolvers or Groskin's LDL^T certification approach; (2) the indeterminate reality: our G̃ at λ=1 has ~50 eigenvalues below 1e-8 relative — the form is highly ill-conditioned already at bandwidth 1, which VALIDATES the difficulty: certification at these scales needs exact/symbolic or interval arithmetic (as Groskin does with cutoff-free LDL^T).
So E-006 outcome: measurement is resolution-limited at ~1e-10; observed ill-conditioning ~1e-9–1e-10 relative floor at all bandwidths; next step for Q-3.4b would be an extended-precision (mpmath) small-scale run (smaller d, exact ϕ̂ via quadrature) to see the true floor decay — a design decision: doable at d ~ 100-200 with mpmath (slow but fine).
Record D-015 (E-006 analysis + decision). Also note for Track C: Groskin's approach (cutoff-free LDL^T factorization) exists precisely because float eigenvalues can't resolve these floors — his paper's "Resolving a spectral scale of 1e-59 at c=100 by brute cutoff would require T ~ 1e63" quote is exactly this phenomenon.
Write D-015, register, commit. Also update STATE next action: extended-precision floor measurement (E-007) or pivot to Q-3.4a analysis / task 3.2 (Li coefficients). Let me write D-015 with the honest analysis and options.
E-006 results are in — and they're instructive in an unexpected way. The honest reading:
**The eigenvalue floor sits at ~10⁻¹⁰ (relative to the mean) at ALL bandwidths** (λ=0.5: 2.9e-10; λ=1.0: 2.4e-10; λ=1.5: 9.1e-10; λ=2.0: 3.7e-10) — *flat*, not decaying. A flat floor at 1e-10 is the signature of a **resolution limit, not a mathematical one**: our float64 + spline-interpolation pipeline simply cannot see below ~1e-10, so the true positivity horizon is beyond this instrument's reach.
Two solid conclusions we *can* draw:
1. **The truncation is severely ill-conditioned already at bandwidth 1** — about 50 of 1834 eigenvalues sit below 1e-8 (relative). The Weil form's finite compressions are nearly singular objects.
2. **This independently validates Groskin's design choice** — his paper notes that resolving the spectral scale 1e-59 by brute cutoff would need T ~ 10⁶³, which is exactly the phenomenon we've hit. float64 eigenvalues are the wrong tool; certification needs exact/interval arithmetic (his cutoff-free LDLᵀ) or extended precision.
Writing this up as D-015 with the follow-up options.
