- Kitchin peak found, 170.7 ticks, 6.02× above backgroundA peak at 170.7 ticks, 6.02 times background, dead centre of the band, on an economy that still will not hold its level.
- The die-off was baked into the placement, not into the economyForty eight of a hundred and twenty firms were born below the dissolution threshold at tick zero, and two errors were cancelling each other out.
- Closed the income loop in the generator, and the economy grew for the first timePopulation becomes a primitive and capacity becomes derived, and for the first time GDP rises instead of sliding.
- I implemented perfect competition without noticing itIdentical costs, interchangeable sellers and perfect visibility make a profitable sector impossible by construction rather than by accident.
- An economy without death cannot liveWith no exit from death the firm population degenerates monotonically, so there is no stationary state for a cycle to form around.
- We switched off every survival mechanism, and look at exactly how it diesA sawmill burns four ticks of cash while needing twenty to price itself back into the market, and death outruns adaptation twentyfold.
- Flow matrix: no leak, and the unitsThe flow matrix says there is no leak into a stock. The slide is parametric: a per year coefficient was being applied per tick.
- The economy dies five different ways in a rowFive separate structural causes, four of them producing an identical symptom, and a sixth still unaccounted for.
- The analyser scored a foreign cycle as KitchinA clean 600 tick sine registers as a Kitchin cycle, because spectral leakage lands inside the band and the band maximum is not a peak.
- Rounding keeps one unit afloat foreverHalf away from zero turns 1 x 0.5 back into 1, so a 1e-9 remainder never decays and the Leontief check never converges.
