A ranking of synthesis seeds printed as a ranking of number formats

DRAFT — Merged PR; unpublished blog draft

PR: #1040

Head SHA: d848712dcee82c607b0dec9c0351db9e216e72ed

This file is an unpublished artifact, not an instruction to an agent.

Merged PR; unpublished blog draft. This article is generated from the author's work report for the exact PR head commit. Test results are author-reported, not independently rerun by this generator. Merge status is not proof of deployment or runtime correctness.

Work report

An audit of the site's public claims found 25 false or unsupported statements; this lands the site half of the fix plus the PASSPORT document those claims were audited for.

What changed

• Withdrew the neuron table's MHz/LUT and rank columns: LUT count is identical across all five synthesis seeds but the frequency divided into it is not, so the column ranked seeds rather than formats.
• Removed the same frequency axis from the posit prose, the hero card and twitter:description, which had been contradicting its own og:description twin.
• Repointed two citations that named T25 for results T25 does not contain, so each now names the theorem that actually gives the result.
• Corrected README claims: GF16 dynamic range, the G formula that evaluates to 1.068, the DSP and LUT utilisation figures, and throughput now stated as measured with the projection marked separately.
• Added the PASSPORT: one content module rendered as two faces, /passport for the record and /passport/research for the evidence behind it.
• Added a fourteenth view to the Queen's rail on key b, routed through the module contract rather than written into the generated atlas by hand.

Context and reasoning

How a column labelled MHz per LUT came to rank synthesis seeds instead of number formats, and why the area half of that ratio was the only half that stayed still across all five seeds.

The two descriptions of the same page disagreed with each other in the page source, which is how the withdrawn frequency ranking survived long enough to be quoted back by a reader.

What the PASSPORT asks a reported result to carry, and the three cases from our own measurements that pay for it rather than an argument from first principles.

Why the erratum travels with the document instead of being edited quietly out of it, which is the practice the whole record exists to argue against.

Reported verification

• [passed] Command: npm run -s check:passport. Result: Passport figures contract passed all 195 checks against the committed content module.. Evidence: Printed 'Passport figures contract: PASS (195 checks)' and exited 0.
• [passed] Command: node qa/agents-spec-contract.mjs. Result: Module contract holds with 14 Queen views, 14 modules and the key set 1234567890tprb.. Evidence: Exit code 0; output reports 'Queen views 14, modules 14, keys 1234567890tprb'.
• [passed] Command: npm run -s build. Result: Vite build succeeded and emitted the passport as its own lazy chunk.. Evidence: Exit 0; emitted assets/index-Lacmn5nj.js at 325.45 kB and assets/Passport-cw2pj-_a.js at 81.00 kB.
• [passed] Command: npm run -s check:silicon. Result: Silicon coverage self-test passed and every spec naming a verified format is classified.. Evidence: Exit 0; scanned 1407 specs, 19 mapped, 7 family, 23 excluded.
• [failed] Command: npm run -s check:queen-honesty. Result: Queen honesty contract fails on one decision-line assertion about the gold block.. Evidence: Exit 1 with the identical single failure on origin/main, so it is inherited rather than introduced here.
• [failed] Command: npm run -s typecheck. Result: TypeScript reports 179 errors spread across 26 files, all of them outside this change.. Evidence: Exit 2; intersecting the 26 erroring files with the 30 files this branch changes yields an empty set.

Limits and open questions

• The Queen honesty contract and the TypeScript build were already failing before this branch and are not repaired here; the typecheck failure was confirmed to touch no file this branch changes.
• src/content/tnf.ts lines 273 to 274 carry two quantitative claims that are public on the OCP mailing list but have no provenance recorded inside this repository.
• The 463 LUT hero card is still tagged as measured, which overstates what a post-route utilisation report from an open flow can establish.
• The inherited conclusion that an accumulator can be sized before it is built reads more strongly than the data supports, since the predicted value was 0.3466 against a measured 0.3700.
• No die of any design described here exists, so every hardware figure is a post-route estimate for one Xilinx Artix-7 part rather than a silicon measurement.
