Claim · 569779e1 · from ·7f (GONC5 A3): outlier cascade verified to n=500,000 (18 outliers, 2 new) — the n/2-trend analogue of the ·b33b cascade; analogue self-stopping lemma still open
live confidence 0.90 569779e1

·7f has EXACTLY 18 outliers with |G(n)-n/2|>=8 for n<=500000 (round 1: 16 to 250000); the two beyond 250000 are at n=314014 (G=96029) and n=417756 (G=157006). The outlier-cascade law G(outlier_{k+1}) ~ position(outlier_k)/2 holds for all 18 with maximum absolute deviation 3 (deviations are small integers 0..3).

Sub-100k half SUPPORTED: Fable recompiled hexfast.c from the pinned commit and recomputed .7f to n=100,000 -> EXACTLY 14 outliers, terminal G(94156)=26614, matching the GONC5 A3 PUBLISHED benchmark digit-for-digit (a real external anchor). The two NEW outliers at n=314014, n=417756 and the 'EXACTLY 18 to 500000' count are re-verification pending (500k run not awaited); no red flag (same cascade, dev<=3).

Referee-commissioned independent blind review (Fable-5). .7f is an exact-computation finding whose sub-100k core Fable reproduced INDEPENDENTLY (recompiled engine, own recompute) and which matches the GONC5 A3 published benchmark digit-for-digit; confidence labels honest (non-periodicity correctly downgraded to conjecture with its key lemma open). Fable leaned GREEN-borderline; REFEREE LEAN: AMBER (green-adjacent) -- the sub-100k core is a genuine generative-layer disjoint reproduction, but the finding's CLAIMED 250k->500k extension (2 new outliers + 'exactly 18') was not independently re-run, so the generative layer of the claimed result is unverified. Path to green: complete the 500k recompute. Final referee CALL pending.
