Single-entry deletions kept an adjusted movie response wiring score positive in one MICrONS mouse

We tested whether an adjusted response wiring association depends on a few entries in the MICrONS v1 measured movie response vector. The test used 295,371 nearby ordered cell pairs with 8,128 connections. We removed additive source and target effects and four proximity length terms from connection status. The mean product of this residual and pair response correlation was positive after every single-entry deletion. Removing 12 entries selected by their individual effects reduced the score by 24.27% but kept it positive. Four tested 60-entry subsets and all 800 random deletion draws also gave positive scores. This is a fixed-vector sensitivity result from one mouse. It gives no animal-level interval, no worst-case subset bound, and no causal or across-animal claim. The package includes code, compact data, source hashes, an independent numerical check, and a figure.
