# v16r event-footprint sensitivity gate

Status: `v16r_spectrum_contrast_persists_under_event_footprint_null`.

V16r is a posthoc sensitivity analysis on the six v16m primary histories. It reuses the observed event DAGs and replaces the v16m strict null with the v16q-qualified event-footprint null. It is not an independent replication.

## Interpretation boundary

Persistence means the coarse event-family/write-read namespace footprint does not absorb the interval-spectrum contrast on these six reused histories, conditional on the qualified procedure. It does not establish independence from concrete resource identity, a causal mechanism, sampler uniformity, or a new replication.

Failure would show sensitivity to this null family, not prove that the original contrast was spurious.
