KEY FINDINGS
FINDING 01
Negative Control: C = A
Continuous pruning never fires. Karma decays faster than it accumulates per batch. Boundary accumulation is required.
FINDING 02
Karma ≠ Chitta
Structural pruning and gradient gating are complementary, not substitutable. Condition F proves this directly.
FINDING 03
Spike Starvation Boundary
At threshold=0.03, 98.48% of fc1 is pruned by Task 9. Predicted and confirmed.
FINDING 04
Vairagya Moderates Karma
D★ proves the interaction. Earned resilience protects against consequence. Maya at 21 is still learning.
