Experiments · E96

Was the screen quietly rewarding alloys that would order inside the temperature window?

Yes. Three of the four chosen alloys order at 844–991 K, inside the window, so the best-binary ranking was withdrawn.

In the log: The screen was rewarding the ordering hazard, and the binary optimum is withdrawn

Pre-registration

The pre-registration, as written

E96 is unaffected. The screen still rewards the ordering hazard, the binary optimum is still withdrawn, and the four candidates still order inside the window. What failed here is the cheap repair, not the diagnosis.

E96 — The screen was rewarding the ordering hazard, and the binary optimum is withdrawn

Fable was asked to judge the kinetics design and found something upstream of it. The finding is verified here with data already on file and with one new calculation.
