SCYTHE Project, \u201cdocs(5.21): propose receiver-spur identification \u2014 and say what it cannot buy,\u201d GitHub PR #77, merged as d5bbbba1 (2026). This is the foundational citation for the retune-slope model, the distinction between received emissions and internal mixing products, the requirement for at least three retunes, termination as a discriminator, and the rule that stability classifies rather than excludes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Experimental design and frozen catalogue parameters \u2014 \u00a75.22. SCYTHE Project, \u201cdocs(5.22): propose the capture plan \u2014 estimand first, and two things that exposes,\u201d GitHub PR #78, merged as 78642344 (2026). This is the primary citation for K=64, R=8, retune deltas {50,100,200} kHz, slope tolerance 0.01, \u22657\/8 persistence, \u226510 dB margin, counterbalanced\/repeated visits, temporal blocking, and the conservative reference-comb cap. It explicitly derives the \u00b1100 ppm harmonic cap of 3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Catalogue slope analysis implementation. SCYTHE Project, \u201c\u00a75.21 catalogue analysis: the slope is measured, the tolerance governs it, and the catalogue answers entry 10,\u201d GitHub PR #118, merged as 4091d22e (2026). This implemented SpurSlopeEstimate, stored the measured slope\/intercept\/residuals, enforced classification support, and made the catalogue govern where THERMAL_NO_INPUT and RECEIVER_SPURS may be captured.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adversarial certification of the slope\/catalogue analysis. SCYTHE Project, \u201c\u00a75.21 S-series: 21 controls over the catalogue analysis, certified at 94e7840b,\u201d GitHub PR #120, merged as 007f8e5d (2026). The second formal sweep certified 21\/21 controls, including slope tolerance, declared retunes, folding, residuals, classification support, thermal-spur exclusion, and reconstruction behavior.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reference-comb enforcement. SCYTHE Project, \u201c\u00a75.21 entry 17: the reference-comb match governs the reference class; live catalogue protocol for review,\u201d GitHub PR #121, merged as 39da055e (2026). This added ReferenceComb, harmonic declaration, derived RF position, the n\u00b7f_ref\u00b7ppm match window, the harmonic cap, and refusal of unsupported reference-class claims. It also records the important consequence that \u00b1100 ppm limits the cap to 3, eliminating reference-class claims in UHF.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adversarial certification of the reference-comb checks. SCYTHE Project, \u201c\u00a75.21 S-series: S22..S35 over the reference-comb match, certified at 21de3d9c,\u201d GitHub PR #122 (2026). The certified run exercised 33 total \u00a75.21 controls, including harmonic presence, cap application, comb matching, RF-position derivation, catalogue-wide matching, and disagreement\/refusal paths. The PR is currently represented as open in GitHub metadata, so I would cite it specifically as the certification record, not as a merged-main milestone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Live catalogue machinery. SCYTHE Project, \u201c\u00a75.21 catalogue runner: retention estimator, live sequencer, authorisation record, protocol governance,\u201d GitHub PR #124, merged as 5a425aca (2026). This is the implementation citation for the Hann-windowed persistence estimator, 7-of-8 retention, byte-exact live tuner sequencer, catalogue writer, and post-capture auditor. It also preserved the crucial refusal boundary: no catalogue means no manufactured CLEAN verdict.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pre-catalogue empirical evidence. SCYTHE Project, \u201cThree Windows, One Tone: 100.8 MHz, Persistent Across Reconnect and Power Cycle,\u201d GitHub PR #125, merged as 7e38abf0 (2026). This is the experimental citation for the three 120-second terminated-input captures, SHA-256-preserved transfer, the ~100.7999688 MHz feature, identical FFT bin at 7.8125 Hz resolution, and \u22650.998 spectral-shape cross-correlation across initial, reconnect, and power-cycle observations. It explicitly keeps those observations as PRE_CATALOGUE_EVIDENCE, not catalogue entries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Formal authorization\/no-go boundary. SCYTHE Project, \u201c\u00a75.21 catalogue authorization decision,\u201d GitHub PR #126, merged as 8361e26b (2026). This froze the distinction between empirical observations and catalogue authority, explicitly kept reference_hz and reference_ppm undeclared, prohibited result-selected references, and held the K=64\/R=8 run at NO-GO pending unit-specific evidence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Acquisition reliability \/ false-green protection. SCYTHE Project, \u201cops: codify ss-guard rtl_tcp watchdog,\u201d GitHub PR #127, merged as 9a5a1713 (2026). This is the operational citation for the read-only RTL0 + actual-I\/Q-flow health probe, \/proc\/net\/tcp inspection, 3\/hour restart limit, zero-byte-command assertion, and rule that watchdog recovery invalidates rather than papers over an interrupted catalogue visit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Final reference authority and catalogue GO. SCYTHE Project, \u201c\u00a75.21: reference declaration (28.8 MHz, 100 ppm uncalibrated) + catalogue GO,\u201d GitHub PR #128, merged as d68e034e (2026). This is now the canonical citation for UNIT_INSPECTED_MODEL_CORROBORATED, the physical Y6 inspection\/photos and hashes, reference_hz = 28,800,000, the conservative reference_ppm = 100, explicit exclusion of the 100.8 MHz observation from the authority chain, harmonic cap 3, and authorization of the K=64\/R=8 catalogue schedule.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For a short bibliography, cite just #77, #78, #118, #121, #124, #125, and #128. Those tell the complete scientific story: method \u2192 experimental design \u2192 mathematical implementation \u2192 reference model \u2192 acquisition machinery \u2192 empirical shakedown \u2192 evidence-backed authorization. The S-series and watchdog citations then serve as supporting verification\/operations references.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ben Gilbert 409-334-4829<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>bgilbert1984\/SCYTHE: SCYTHE @ spectrcyde.com https:\/\/github.com\/bgilbert1984\/SCYTHE Cite the SCYTHE catalogue work as a chain of primary repository records, because the design deliberately evolved through proposals, implementation, adversarial certification, live evidence, and authorization decisions.
