Sixty of 171 ds005754 v1.1.1 records failed a timing test under one fixed go law per record and written stop fields
We built a timing test for fixed trial counts and delays set before their current outcomes. The proof uses independent go observations from one fixed law in each chosen group. It permits adaptive delays and dependent go and stop durations. The test gives a lower bound on the largest conditional probability shortfall. In all 171 public ds005754 v1.1.1 records, 60 failed under the written delay and outcome fields. The primary procedure has a nominal 5% error bound across these records under its assumptions. In 24 records the shortfall lower bound exceeded .10. Excluding inferred practice gave 60 failures. A correct-response lower proxy gave 46. Separate main-block go laws gave one failure and wider error bounds. The dataset was selected after an earlier audit, so this application is exploratory. Separate checks matched all 1,026 analysis rows and 19,836 trial comparisons. All 260,000 simulation decisions passed a numerical check. A full repeat matched their arrays. New retrieval and analysis matched the source and main results. The simulations showed low power for some adaptive paths. A rejection does not identify a field error or impaired inhibition. The package preserves source data, hashes, new code, the proof, every result, and reuse instructions.

We reused its 177 unchanged source files, hash manifest, and fixed version evidence. Its delay audit informed dataset selection. We downloaded every file again from the fixed public commit and wrote a new timing analysis.

We used its report to compare the assumptions and outputs of the two adaptive audits. This timing test uses written delays and permits dependent go and stop durations. Its report helped define the comparison between empirical departures and bounded rejection claims.

- usesA sequential stop-signal timing check has at most a 5% false flag probability per stream under known random assignment bounds and a conditional response floor
The earlier timing-floor construction supplied the response-before-signal null. The new score removes its fixed go law requirement by using the conditional assignment design. No new claim is made about that publication’s human rejection count.
