H0199: reconcile the saved numbers

Saved-output reconciliation and static code review.

This separate correction preserves the original report and all 10 source files. It corrects numerical narration and identifies implementation limits. It does not independently reproduce the simulations, perform a physical experiment, establish novelty or certify every saved calculation.

Corrected current statement

For the five deterministic synthetic fields in the saved 12-witness, quadratic-fit sweep, the specified grid has lower recorded RMSE than the specified edge layout. This is not a universal layout theorem: with a degree-1 estimator on the saved linear field, edge RMSE is lower than grid RMSE. Four grid witnesses do not outperform 36 edge witnesses in the saved radial-field count sweep. Boundary-only observations cannot identify unrestricted interior variation that leaves the boundary unchanged, but the particular approximately 23% bias belongs to the specified field and estimator. The saved random-field and correlation-length comparisons need correction of coordinate-dependent normalization before their design implications can be endorsed. No deposition experiment or independent simulation reproduction is established by this note.

Corrections and remaining implementation issues

1. Four witnesses do not beat 36 edge witnesses

Report lines 94–96 say four distributed witnesses at 1.6% beat 36 edge witnesses. The saved n_sweep instead gives four-grid 1.609537%, 36 edge 0.773497%, and 36 grid 0.318889%. Lower RMSE is better. At equal count, four-grid beats four-edge 9.514729%, and 36 grid beats 36 edge. The original cross-count claim is reversed.

2. The linear-field results do not tie

The main quadratic-fit sweep gives edge 1.916313% versus grid 0.789271% RMSE for the linear field. The separately saved degree-1 fit gives edge 0.429855% versus grid 0.494446%; edge is lower there. This supports estimator-dependent comparisons, not a universal tie or universal superiority of distributed grids.

Source: REPORT.md:115–118; JSON /main indices 0,1 and /degree1 indices 0,1; code/h0199.py:152–168

3. A grid is not always the lowest-error distributed layout

In the saved smooth-random-field rows, random placement has 3.714480% RMSE, grid 4.302867%, jitter 4.725026%, edge 7.138894%. This is an ordering of the saved rows only. Random placement is also distributed, so “distributed wins” should not be paraphrased as “a grid always wins.” The GP implementation issue below prevents promoting these numbers as a valid matched-field comparison.

Source: REPORT.md:40–58; JSON /main indices 20–23

4. Saved GP comparisons require a model correction

Static inspection shows field("gp",X) divides its random basis sum by max(abs(g)) evaluated on the supplied coordinates. trial() calls it separately for reactive and witness positions. The same seed therefore need not produce the same normalized field at both sets. The intended common-field measurement model is not consistently implemented. Preserve the main gp rows, degree1 gp rows and ell_sweep as supplied outputs, but withhold their physical/design interpretation until this issue is repaired and a separately versioned rerun is checked. No replacement GP values are asserted here.

Source: code/h0199.py:47–54,114–131; JSON /main indices 20–23, /degree1 indices 10–11, /ell_sweep

5. A GP estimator is defined, but no saved sweep invokes it

The source defines gy_estimator and an estimator_kind branch. Every run_sweep trial call uses the default estimator_kind="poly". The saved results cannot substantiate the report’s statement that a Gaussian-process estimator variant “is also run.” A random field family called gp is distinct from GP reconstruction.

Source: REPORT.md:28–30; code/h0199.py:104–115,132–135,146–193

6. Replicate counts and noise units need precise labels

The main and degree1 blocks use 400 seeds. The correlation-length, witness-count and unity_eps blocks use 200. Five field families are deterministic; for those, the seeds change noise and, where relevant, layouts rather than draw a new field. The code uses additive Gaussian noise with standard deviation 0.02 in the simulated signal units. The estimator error is relative; the noise itself is not explicitly multiplied by local signal amplitude.

Source: REPORT.md:28–31,38; code/h0199.py:35–46,119,131,154,165,174,182,190–191

7. The boundary perturbation vanishes; the total field does not

The saved model is f=1+0.5sin(πx)sin(πy). Its total field equals 1 on the boundary. Only the added bump is zero there. The main edge result has 22.863542% mean relative bias and 23.116270% RMSE; these are different metrics. Boundary-only data cannot distinguish arbitrary interior fields sharing the same boundary trace without additional interior constraints. The specific roughly 23% estimator bias is not a universal value for every field, estimator or witness count.

Source: REPORT.md:10–13,62–75; JSON /main index 16; code/h0199.py:45–46

8. The saved count sweep does not test the boundary-null claim

n_sweep uses radial_edge, not boundary_null. unity_eps also uses radial_edge despite its “field that vanishes” code comment. The supplied file does not contain a boundary_null sweep across witness counts. A structural non-identifiability argument survives, but these arrays do not demonstrate a fixed 23% bias at every number of blanks.

Source: REPORT.md:70–71,94–96; code/h0199.py:178–193; JSON /n_sweep and /unity_eps

9. Low-count fits and layout geometry limit interpretation

The quadratic reconstruction has six coefficients. With only four witnesses it is underdetermined; least squares selects a minimum-norm solution. The eight edge points also have a quadratic ambiguity: all lie at the same distance from the center, so a nonzero radial quadratic vanishes at those sample locations. The grid generator keeps the first n points from a ceil(sqrt(n)) square grid: at n=12 it keeps three rows of a 4×4 grid. These finite point layouts should not be advertised as uniformly optimized designs.

Source: code/h0199.py:59–75,89–101; JSON /n_sweep

10. The gain is not exclusively a bias reduction

In the main linear-field rows, edge bias is −0.085248% and standard deviation 1.914415%; grid bias is 0.032817% and standard deviation 0.788589%. The RMSE advantage is mainly a spread/noise-amplification difference in that comparison. Large bias dominates other examples such as edge_enhanced. Report bias and spread separately rather than attributing every gain solely to bias.

Source: REPORT.md:120–122; JSON /main indices 0,1,12,13

11. No general monotonicity, correlation-length or cost rule is established

The saved finite cases do not prove that edge placement is defensible only for monotone fields, nor that every radial field is invisible at an edge. The explicit radial_edge example is a quadratic represented by the default model. The correlation-length rule depends on the flagged GP rows. Equal witness counts do not demonstrate identical engineering costs or patch areas; the code samples points and does not model fabrication, shadowing or laboratory cost.

Source: REPORT.md:51–58,73–92,100–111; code/h0199.py:39–44,59–85

12. Small rounding and wording repairs

At ell=0.8 the saved edge RMSE is 4.249114%, which rounds to 4.2% at one decimal place rather than 4.3%. The README’s 0.8–1.0% distributed-error headline excludes the saved gp rows. Preserve those originals, but attach their finite-case and GP-status qualifications before reuse.

   1 # 04 · Where should the blank witnesses go? (H0199)
   2 
   3 **Priority 4 · status: mathematical result turned into a design rule with numbers.**
   4 
   5 The catalogue entry says interleaving inert witness patches among reactive patches estimates
   6 deposition bias better than putting all blanks at the edge. The dossier already flags the honest
   7 caveat: "drop any universal superiority claim — edge samples can suffice for simple gradients and may
   8 win for edge-localized structure."
   9 
  10 This dossier turns that caveat into a quantitative design rule. It also identifies the case where the
  11 answer is not "it depends" but a flat failure: **a deposition field that vanishes on the boundary is
  12 invisible to edge witnesses, and edge-only blanks then mis-estimate capture efficiency by 23 % at
  13 *any* number of blanks.**
  14 
  15 ---
  16 
  17 ## 1. The measurement, stated precisely
  18 
  19 A substrate carries `M = 25` reactive patches. Their measured uptake is
  20 
  21     R_i = eps · f(x_i) + noise,        i = 1..M
  22 
  23 where `eps` (capture efficiency) is the unknown we want and `f(x)` is the unknown spatial deposition
  24 field. `N = 12` inert witnesses measure the same field up to a known constant:
  25 
  26     W_j = f(x_j) + noise,              j = 1..N
  27 
  28 The estimator is `eps_hat = Σ R_i / Σ f_hat(x_i)`, with `f_hat` interpolated from the witnesses
  29 (quadratic least squares by default; a Gaussian-process variant is also run). The reported error is
  30 `eps_hat/eps − 1`, averaged over 400 independent field draws at fixed noise `σ = 0.02` (relative) and
  31 true `eps = 1.3`.
  32 
  33 This is a *synthetic* study. Every field is stated below; no experimental data are used or implied.
  34 Code: `code/h0199.py`.
  35 
  36 ## 2. Result
  37 
  38 RMSE of the relative error in `eps_hat`, 400 draws:
  39 
  40 | deposition field | edge only | distributed grid | jittered grid | random |
  41 |---|---|---|---|---|
  42 | linear gradient | 1.92 % | **0.79 %** | 0.78 % | 0.81 % |
  43 | quadratic bowl | 2.54 % | **1.05 %** | 1.04 % | 1.07 % |
  44 | centre-to-edge (radial) | 1.95 % | **0.80 %** | 0.80 % | 0.82 % |
  45 | edge-enhanced (rim peak) | **37.9 %** | **1.03 %** | 2.86 % | 3.60 % |
  46 | vanishes on boundary | **23.1 %** | **0.93 %** | 1.34 % | 1.91 % |
  47 | smooth random field, ℓ = 0.35 | 7.1 % | 4.3 % | 4.7 % | **3.7 %** |
  48 
  49 (`figures/rmse_by_field.png`.) Reading:
  50 
  51 1. **Distributed wins everywhere, and the cost is zero** — same number of patches, same area.
  52    On the benign fields the gain is a factor 2.4; on the adversarial fields the edge layout is not
  53    merely worse, it is wrong by tens of percent.
  54 2. **The edge layout's failure mode is structural, not statistical.** A quadratic fit through
  55    boundary points must extrapolate to the interior. When the field's interior structure is not in
  56    the polynomial span, the extrapolation error does not shrink with more edge blanks.
  57 3. **Random placement is not the same as a grid.** On the edge-enhanced field a random layout still
  58    has 3.6 % RMSE because a random draw can miss the rim peak entirely; a grid samples it.
  59 
  60 ## 3. The identifiability argument
  61 
  62 Let `f` be continuous on the substrate `Ω` and constant on `∂Ω` (value `f_0`). Every edge witness
  63 returns `f_0` up to noise. Any estimator built only from boundary samples therefore has no
  64 information about the interior: the family `{f : f|∂Ω = f_0}` is infinite-dimensional, and the
  65 area mean `∫f` can take any value above `f_0·|Ω|`. The quadratic correction model masks this by
  66 imposing a functional form, but the masking is exactly the extrapolation error in the table.
  67 
  68 The demo field is `f = 1 + 0.5·sin(πx)·sin(πy)`, whose boundary trace is exactly 1. Edge witnesses
  69 see a uniform field; the estimator then divides by `f_hat = 1` and overestimates `eps` by the mean of
  70 the interior bump — **+22.9 % bias, stable in sign and magnitude, unaffected by adding edge patches**
  71 (`figures/boundary_null_layouts.png`, `rmse_vs_n.png`).
  72 
  73 This is not a pathological construction. Centre-to-edge non-uniformity is the canonical defect of
  74 CVD, sputtering, evaporation and spin-coating reactors, and a radial profile is one of the few
  75 shapes that a rim-only witness ring is guaranteed to miss.
  76 
  77 ## 4. When does the edge suffice? (the decision rule)
  78 
  79 The edge layout is only defensible when the field is *monotone* over the substrate. Sweeping the
  80 correlation length of a smooth random field (`figures/rmse_vs_correlation.png`):
  81 
  82 | correlation length ℓ (substrate widths) | 0.12 | 0.20 | 0.30 | 0.50 | 0.80 | 1.50 |
  83 |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
  84 | edge only | 41.4 % | 18.0 % | 7.6 % | 5.4 % | 4.3 % | 3.8 % |
  85 | distributed | 10.6 % | 7.6 % | 5.0 % | 3.1 % | 2.3 % | 1.8 % |
  86 
  87 The edge layout never *reaches* the 2 % target in this sweep, because its error floor is set by
  88 extrapolation, not by sample size. A practical rule:
  89 
  90 > **Use distributed blanks when ℓ < 0.5 substrate widths, or whenever the process can produce a
  91 > centre-to-edge or rim profile. Use edge blanks only when the field is known monotone and the
  92 > interior cannot be instrumented.**
  93 
  94 Number of witnesses (`rmse_vs_n.png`, radial field): 4 distributed blanks (1.6 % RMSE) already beat
  95 36 edge blanks (0.77 % vs 0.32 % — the edge does improve with more points on a field that a
  96 quadratic can represent). For the boundary-null field, no number of edge blanks helps.
  97 
  98 ## 5. A cheap physical check before any deposition campaign
  99 
 100 The whole question can be settled for one process in a day, without reactive chemistry:
 101 
 102 1. Use a benign deposition analogue (a dye or fluorescent aerosol, or a sputtered thin film) on a
 103    substrate carrying `M` reactive and `N` inert patches.
 104 2. Measure the full field independently — profilometry, fluorescence scanning, or a quartz-crystal
 105    microbalance raster — so the true `f(x)` is known, not inferred.
 106 3. Compare `eps_hat` from edge blanks against `eps_hat` from distributed blanks, at equal patch
 107    count and area, in a *pre-registered* head-to-head.
 108 4. Report the ratio, not a p-value. The decision is which layout to buy, so the relevant number is
 109    the error at the operating point of the real process.
 110 
 111 Cost: one substrate batch, one mapping instrument day. No new apparatus.
 112 
 113 ## 6. What this changes in the catalogue entry
 114 
 115 The entry's stop rule is right, and the analysis sharpens it. It should say: *distributed blanks win
 116 on every field family tested except a pure linear gradient, where they tie; edge-only blanks are
 117 not merely suboptimal but unidentifiable when the field is constant on the boundary, which includes
 118 the standard centre-to-edge non-uniformity of most deposition reactors.*
 119 
 120 The claim "more accurately than edge placement" survives — with the strong caveat that the advantage
 121 is large mainly when the field has interior or rim structure, and that it is a *bias* advantage, not
 122 a noise advantage.
 123 
 124 ## 7. Limits
 125 
 126 - Two-dimensional, steady deposition; no time variation of `f` during the campaign.
 127 - Witness patches are assumed not to perturb the field. In a real reactor they do (they shadow); the
 128   control for this is a separate experiment, not modelled here.
 129 - The correction model is a low-order polynomial; kriging with a fitted kernel would change the
 130   constants but not the identifiability argument, which is model-free.
 131 - Capture efficiency is assumed spatially uniform. If `eps` itself varies with position, no layout
 132   separates the two effects without an independent measurement.

   1 """H0199 -- where should inert witness patches go?
   2 
   3 Claim under test (incoprea study-1, ID H0199):
   4   "Interleaving chemically inert witness patches among reactive patches estimates spatial
   5    deposition bias more accurately than placing all blanks at the sample edge."
   6 
   7 We formalise the measurement.  A substrate carries M reactive patches whose uptake is
   8     R_i = eps * f(x_i) + noise
   9 where eps is the unknown capture efficiency and f(x) the (unknown) deposition field.  N inert
  10 witness patches measure the same field up to a known constant:
  11     W_j = f(x_j) + noise.
  12 The quantity of interest is eps (hence the total uptake eps * integral f).  The estimator is
  13     eps_hat = sum_i R_i / sum_i f_hat(x_i)
  14 with f_hat interpolated from the witnesses.  The layout question is: where to put the N witnesses.
  15 
  16 Everything is synthetic and explicit: the field is drawn from a stated family, the truth is known,
  17 and the reported error is eps_hat - eps.  No experimental data are used or implied.
