Rather than adjusting hypotheses after seeing the results: the protocol is frozen in the database first, and only later completed UTC hours may enter the append-only evidence ledger.
The fixed protocol is stored with VETO's database timestamp before the first eligible observation hour. Each complete future hour receives an append-only server capture. Earlier MR-04 history cannot count as new evidence.
Actual hourly WAIT-state co-arrivals compared with the mean of 12 frozen circular control shifts. Empty or invalid hours remain empty.
No placeholder chart. Until a newly elapsed hour is actually stored with complete source data, there is no result, performance or scientific confirmation.
Each cell is a completed UTC hour. Failed or missed captures remain unknown, never converted into zero. Amber marks captured but restricted evidence.
Minutes per hour with a recorded WAIT arrival. Only complete saved hours are plotted; unknown or restricted hours break the lines.
The database clock is not an independent exchange signature. This is infrastructure for prospective research, not a discovered financial law or profitable trading strategy.
