DETERMINISTIC BLACKJACK DECISION ENGINE RESEARCH
PHASE 3.164 — TECHNICAL RESEARCH FINDINGS

DESIGN
Final independent holdout.
Fresh BA/BB/BC/BD.
Seeds 216101 / 216201 / 216301 / 216401.
5,000 sessions each.
+5 checkpoint.
Frozen Phase 3.157 four-arm architecture and prospective checkpoint instrumentation.
No tuning.

PREDECLARED TESTS

PRIMARY
A. Activation ordering: ORIGINAL > <=£70 > <=£60.
B. Terminal-zero prevention ordering: ORIGINAL > <=£70 > <=£60.
C. £200-loss ordering: ORIGINAL > <=£70 > <=£60.

SECONDARY
D. <=£60 region must show higher terminal-zero-prevention concentration and lower lost-£200 concentration than £80-100.

RESULT
4 / 4 PASS.

SECONDARY REGIONAL HOLDOUT

<=£60:
PZ 46.30%.
LOST200 2.63%.

£80-100:
PZ 17.08%.
LOST200 12.81%.

Thus:
PZ enrichment direction PASS.
Target-loss depletion direction PASS.

INTERPRETATION
1. The objective ordering survived a fully independent final holdout.
2. The broad regional bankroll-risk interpretation also survived.
3. No tuning or post-result threshold change was necessary.
4. Evidence supports the architecture as robust and objective-specific.
5. Evidence does NOT support a universal winner independent of player objective.
6. Evidence does NOT establish £60 or £70 as unique mathematical optima.
7. This branch is sufficiently proven for consolidation.

MILESTONE
Independent final holdout closure of the £60/£70 Capital-Risk refinement branch.

PHASE 3.165 RECOMMENDED NEXT DESIGN — BRANCH CONSOLIDATION / RETURN TO BRAINSTORM

No new simulation required initially.

Produce a concise branch-close package summarising:
- hypotheses;
- discovery path;
- fresh validation;
- prospective executions;
- pooled precision;
- instrumentation repair;
- regional interpretation;
- final holdout;
- limitations;
- objective-specific conclusions.

Then select the next major unresolved branch from the cumulative brainstorm.
