Pass 3 — the score-side scorecard

Honest tier: STRUCTURE. Every number below is a property of the WRITING, computed from the plans through the renderer's own compiler before a sample was played. Nobody has heard any of this music. The targets are PROPOSED by the motivic-development lane's section 3.6 and carry no calibrated null; clearing them is evidence the writing changed and never evidence that the music is good.

PASS4_FLORES_FALLS — Flores Highlands -- the light on the water

180.0 s, 54 bars, 27 cycles at 72.0 bpm, class SANCTUARY; targets 19/19
theme: 2 melodic ideas, longest phrase 10 bars, phrase lengths {'8': 4, '10': 2}, shortest post-plant statement 8 bars
operations: 28 named, 22 spine-changing (augmentation, contrapuntal_combination, evaded_cadence, fragmentation, intervallic_expansion, liquidation, modal_mutation, phrase_expansion, rhythmic_displacement, sequence_tonal)
derivation chain: 6 statements, mean depth 2.1667, max 4, resets 1
cadences: 6 ({'evaded_then_PAC': 1, 'HC': 1, 'IAC': 2, 'none_withheld': 2}), evaded 1
melodic density: theme layers sound in 0.8519 of bars at 3.261 notes per sounding bar; 0.0904 of all composed notes carry the theme (round 2: 0.021-0.046)
counter-melody: worst onset coincidence 0.1538 (round 2: 1.000), best exclusive-sounding fraction 0.1071 (round 2: 0.000)
ornament: 44 events, 0.815 per bar, 0.0227 of them landing on a declared goal tone
dynamic arc: min 0.4 mean 0.6133 max 0.76, 4 peaks and 1 valleys; valleys with no melodic layer none
BUILD AND HOLD: 3 holds, longest 53.33 s, hold share 0.5926 against this class's corpus median 0.501 and round 2's INTENDED {'PASS2_FLORES_CACI': 0.061, 'PASS2_FLORES_REST': 0.0, 'PASS2_FLORES_WATERFALL': 0.0} — round 2's plans contained no plateaus at all, which is why it did not build and hold
composed silence: 1 windows, 4.167 s clean, fraction 0.02315 (round 2: 0.0 exactly, on 0 of 62 reference tracks)
leitmotif reference [near_plain_arrival]: the theme, near-plain, in the widest registration of the cue at cycle 13 — span 4, and in this cue the arrival comes BEFORE the withdrawal: the light reaches the water and then the pool is quiet again

PASS4_FLORES_ROAD — Flores Highlands -- the road that keeps count

223.45 s, 108 bars, 27 cycles at 116.0 bpm, class EXPLORATION; targets 19/19
theme: 2 melodic ideas, longest phrase 18 bars, phrase lengths {'8': 1, '12': 1, '16': 4, '18': 1}, shortest post-plant statement 8 bars
operations: 35 named, 28 spine-changing (augmentation, contrapuntal_combination, evaded_cadence, fragmentation, intervallic_expansion, liquidation, modal_mutation, phrase_expansion, rhythmic_displacement, sequence_tonal)
derivation chain: 7 statements, mean depth 2.2857, max 4, resets 1
cadences: 7 ({'HC': 1, 'evaded_then_PAC': 1, 'IAC': 2, 'none_withheld': 3}), evaded 1
melodic density: theme layers sound in 0.8889 of bars at 2.531 notes per sounding bar; 0.066 of all composed notes carry the theme (round 2: 0.021-0.046)
counter-melody: worst onset coincidence 0.0 (round 2: 1.000), best exclusive-sounding fraction 0.316 (round 2: 0.000)
ornament: 125 events, 1.157 per bar, 0.008 of them landing on a declared goal tone
dynamic arc: min 0.4 mean 0.6822 max 0.88, 4 peaks and 3 valleys; valleys with no melodic layer none
BUILD AND HOLD: 3 holds, longest 41.38 s, hold share 0.4444 against this class's corpus median 0.3347 and round 2's INTENDED {'PASS2_FLORES_CACI': 0.061, 'PASS2_FLORES_REST': 0.0, 'PASS2_FLORES_WATERFALL': 0.0} — round 2's plans contained no plateaus at all, which is why it did not build and hold
composed silence: 2 windows, 8.275 s clean, fraction 0.03703 (round 2: 0.0 exactly, on 0 of 62 reference tracks)
leitmotif reference [parent_quotation]: JOURNEY_WORLD's four head notes, verbatim, with the licensed +9 leap at cycle 23 — the arrival span, where the road opens onto the lingko fields and the count the chapter is named for is kept -- one scheduled moment, in one cue of the three
leitmotif reference [near_plain_arrival]: the theme, near-plain, in the widest registration of the cue at cycle 21 — plant-then-never-neutrally, with its one licensed exception at the arrival

PASS4_FLORES_ROUNDS — Flores Highlands -- the caci rounds

201.08 s, 124 bars, 31 cycles at 148.0 bpm, class BATTLE; targets 19/19
theme: 2 melodic ideas, longest phrase 18 bars, phrase lengths {'6': 1, '16': 6, '18': 1}, shortest post-plant statement 6 bars

derivation chain: 8 statements, mean depth 2.625, max 5, resets 1

melodic density: theme layers sound in 0.9113 of bars at 2.655 notes per sounding bar; 0.0744 of all composed notes carry the theme (round 2: 0.021-0.046)
counter-melody: worst onset coincidence 0.0 (round 2: 1.000), best exclusive-sounding fraction 0.4043 (round 2: 0.000)
ornament: 84 events, 0.677 per bar, 0.0 of them landing on a declared goal tone
dynamic arc: min 0.52 mean 0.7677 max 0.94, 5 peaks and 3 valleys; valleys with no melodic layer none
BUILD AND HOLD: 4 holds, longest 38.92 s, hold share 0.5484 against this class's corpus median 0.3656 and round 2's INTENDED {'PASS2_FLORES_CACI': 0.061, 'PASS2_FLORES_REST': 0.0, 'PASS2_FLORES_WATERFALL': 0.0} — round 2's plans contained no plateaus at all, which is why it did not build and hold
composed silence: 2 windows, 4.864 s clean, fraction 0.02419 (round 2: 0.0 exactly, on 0 of 62 reference tracks)
leitmotif reference [near_plain_arrival]: the theme, near-plain, widest registration, phase two's last round at cycle 25 — the arrival after phase two's own full ascent; the parent quotation belongs to the road cue and is not repeated here

Cross-cue theme distinctness

Josh, 2026-08-07: do not use the same exemplar melodies across all tracks, even in the same region. Region identity is carried by instrumentation, mode, register, rhythmic dialect, ornament practice and the colotomic frame -- not by the tune. Round 2's three cues were three arrangements of ONE head cell and scored 1.000 here by construction.

a	b	interval LCS	contour LCS	chroma best of 12	max	verdict
PASS4_FLORES_FALLS	PASS4_FLORES_ROAD	0.4	0.4	0.942	0.4	DISTINCT
PASS4_FLORES_FALLS	PASS4_FLORES_ROUNDS	0.1667	0.5	0.7314	0.5	DISTINCT
PASS4_FLORES_ROAD	PASS4_FLORES_ROUNDS	0.1667	0.5	0.7942	0.5	DISTINCT

Worst pair 0.5 against a floor of 0.8; all distinct = True.

Pass-4 additions (reported beside the base battery, never in it)

operations the pass-3 battery has no opinion about, reported BESIDE it and never folded into it -- folding them in would move the denominator and end the before-and-after comparison
