Four claims in this file stopped being true — three when G10 was removed on 2026-09-09, and one when the folder got its first entry in #2.

Said Now
"No entries yet." One — lifetime-ns-tritc.md
The live case is bleach_photons under G10 That gate is gone
An output block showing a perturbation.photobleaching margin Hypothetical, and for a gate that no longer exists
"bleach_photons per dye is the top example", cited to 07 Phase 0 No gate consumes it, and docs/07-roadmap.md no longer names it

The live case is real now, not illustrated

Both blocks are output from this repository at c556db0:

TRITC @ 555 nm  153.0 W/cm^2  ->  BLOCKED
feasibility: UNKNOWN   evidence: assumed   confidence: none   advances: NO
    [FAIL] missing.lifetime
TRITC @ 555 nm  153.0 W/cm^2  ->  PASS
feasibility: ROUTINE   evidence: assumed   confidence: low   advances: NO

     10.00  perturbation.saturation     ##############################

And it makes the tier's point better than the version it replaces. The old example showed a literature value producing a margin that said no, which is easy to accept. This one produces a margin that says yes, comfortably — and still cannot advance a verdict.

A passing verdict is exactly where a reader is tempted to treat an assumed value as a measured one, so advances: NO beside 10.00 is the sharper demonstration.

What is kept rather than dropped

The photobleaching arithmetic the old block described lives in 04 §6, which also says why the gate went. The replaced paragraph points there instead of deleting the reasoning silently.

bleach_photons is still empty across the registry — it is just no longer a number anything waits on, which is the difference between a gap and a hole. The note says that too.

lifetime_ns takes its place as the worked example: G20 reads it, five of seventeen dyes are still missing it, and no instrument here can measure it directly — that needs time-resolved detection this setup does not have, which is what makes it literature rather than a calibration.

Scope

Documentation only. No registry change, no code change. Suite: 1221 passed, 11 skipped.

…instead

Four claims in this file stopped being true, three of them when G10 was removed
on 2026-09-09 and one when the folder got its first entry:

  * *"No entries yet."* There is one -- `lifetime-ns-tritc.md`. The schema and
    rules were written first so the first entry would not have to invent them,
    and they held: nothing in the template needed changing to file it.
  * The live case was `bleach_photons` under **G10**, with a hypothetical
    output block showing a `perturbation.photobleaching` margin. That gate is
    gone.
  * *"`bleach_photons` per dye is the top example"*, cited to 07 Phase 0 as
    literature-or-decay-curve. **No gate consumes it now**, and
    `docs/07-roadmap.md` no longer names it. Still empty, and no longer a
    number anything waits on -- the difference between a gap and a hole.

The live case is now real rather than illustrated, and both blocks are output
from this repository at `c556db0`:

    TRITC @ 555 nm  153.0 W/cm^2  ->  BLOCKED    [FAIL] missing.lifetime
    TRITC @ 555 nm  153.0 W/cm^2  ->  PASS       10.00  perturbation.saturation
                                                 evidence: assumed  advances: NO

**And it makes the tier's point better than the version it replaces.** The old
example showed a literature value producing a margin that said *no*, which is
easy to accept. This one produces a margin that says *yes, comfortably* -- and
still cannot advance a verdict. A passing verdict is exactly where a reader is
tempted to treat an assumed value as a measured one.

The photobleaching arithmetic the old block described is kept in 04 §6, and the
replaced paragraph says so rather than dropping it silently.

`lifetime_ns` is the worked example in its place: G20 reads it, five of
seventeen dyes are still missing it, and no instrument here can measure it
directly -- that needs time-resolved detection this setup does not have, which
is what makes it literature rather than a calibration.
