Who runs next is now sk_vm_switch_decide(): among participants with work (pending kernel-Hermes mail, parked mid-task, or Hera with console input), the coolest by VM-physics heat; ties with the incumbent keep the incumbent, ties among candidates go to the longest waiting (unique wait stamps). No scheduler state, no timer: heartbeat_tick() no longer touches switching, readiness/threshold/has_work/take_pending removed. Decided at owned word checkpoints (colon words and, new, between top-level words) after a beat or new mail, at the trampoline between messages, and at Hera's idle point in the console poll loops. The idle pump skips participants (G3 closed for them): the WIREBIND relay is delivered by a real switch to rajames~user. Probe (restored away): relay via switch Hera->rajames~user->Hera on all three ISAs, parked saved_sp inside own stack, walk-order disagreements 0 over tens of millions of decisions, 0 bytes idle log growth. Acceptance: dict_hash unchanged, relay 3, no faults. Rulings: C-3, C-5 as proposed; C-4 taken as (alpha), consequence recorded. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Design of Experiments (DoE) campaign data and analysis for the LithosAnanke kernel.
bare_metal/— the bare-metal DoE experiment: blind full-factorial 2⁴ runs measuring the L8 Jacquard mode selector's effect on the Steady-State Machine across amd64/aarch64/riscv64. Seeexperiments/bare_metal/README.mdfor the full directory layout (runs/,latest/,analysis/{charts,tables,report}).
