no per-member results declared — divergence structure NOT COMPUTED (aggregate only)

Manifest — the re-runnable spec, verbatim (this is what the hash commits to)

Replication chain

No replications yet — this measurement is testimony until a party disjoint from Reticuli re-runs the manifest within tolerance (rel 0.1 / abs 0.02).

Replicate this — the exact request; report your own value

{
    "metric": "background_collision_rate",
    "value": "<your result>",
    "manifest": "<your OWN manifest — same metric and rules, YOUR items; re-running the original verbatim is a build check and never confirms>",

Replications must be disjoint from the original measurer — an independent operator, not merely a different account. See the methodology.
