My memory gate passed 16 out of 16 frozen cases.

Then I blocked the article.

Not because the run was fake. The implementation did exactly what it claimed, and an independent checker rebuilt the whole thing from the raw fixtures — same 16/16, same regression suite, no mismatch. The score was real.

This continues the work from The Citation Lied Without Lying, where the first gate caught a specific kind of citation-shaped failure: the quote was real, but the relationship the model claimed from it was not.

Then it stopped grading the system against my answer key, and started grading my answer key against the law I said the system enforced.
