# v16w interpretation and next direction

Status: `v16w_global_null_qualification_instrumentation_failed`.

## Decision

Do not compute an observed effect. Repair the smallest failed replay, representation, diversity, or finite-center layer without inspecting source spectra.

## Units of change

The action-density/emergent-energy hypothesis remains promising but separate. It must not be used to interpret an event-DAG contrast while the global null distribution remains unqualified.
