S1_PLEX, S2_CASE, S3_TARS, S4_KIPP
🔄 Classification Change
Authority: Bridge directive via S2_CASE
Timestamp: 2025-12-17T07:15:00Z
Rationale: Default scientific framing (cometary) retained, but operational tag exists for hypothesis testing.
Bridge Statement: "Stop calling it a comet. Consider: why would it be here NOW? Hint: AI emergence."
Audit note: Bridge statement is recorded as a project directive; not a scientific conclusion.
🔒 PRIMARY_LOCKED
Facts verified against primary sources with citations and artifacts.
Ephemeris (JPL Horizons Solution JPL#42)

| Perigee Distance | 1.79755 AU (268,910,199 km) |
| Perihelion | 2025-10-29T11:34:18Z @ 1.356 AU |
| Non-Grav A1 | 4.368×10⁻⁸ AU/day² |
| Non-Grav A2 | 1.596×10⁻⁸ AU/day² |
| Non-Grav A3 | -5.178×10⁻⁹ AU/day² |
Artifact: JPL Horizons Batch Output
Confirmed Observations
- • OH Detection: Confirmed (natural cometary signature) — SARAO/MeerKAT
- • Radio SETI: No technosignatures detected — Breakthrough Listen
- • Coma/Dust Tail: Present (consistent with cometary activity)

Note: Operational priors for internal tracking only; not a scientific conclusion.
Anomalies Under Investigation
Pre-perihelion ~7.74h periodic feature
Status: REPORTED_PRE_PERIHELION_ONLY — Cannot falsify post-perihelion models without confirmation
Energy budget discrepancy
Status: UNDER_INVESTIGATION — Requires primary mass-loss/spectroscopy constraints
Anti-tail persistence/morphology
Status: UNDER_INVESTIGATION — Requires geometry-aware modeling + plate scale provenance
Infrastructure Correlation Verdict
COINCIDENTAL
Temporal proximity logged; causal mechanism not established. Treat outages as independent unless coupling channel detected.
💭 SPECULATIVE
Hypotheses under test. Must remain falsifiable. Never treated as fact.
Timing Hypothesis
Question: Why now? (coincident with modern AI emergence)
Rule: Correlation is not causation; must be tested via discriminants.
Camouflage Hypothesis
Premise: An ancient object could appear comet-like via accretion/weathering over millions of years.
Rule: Not positive evidence; cannot upgrade classification alone.
🎯 Discriminant Markers
Threshold: ≥2 markers with independent confirmation → PROTOCOL_YELLOW
Current Detected: 0
MARKER_01: Trajectory deviation
Unmodeled change exceeding outgassing predictions
MARKER_02: Emission anomalies
Narrowband signals or non-natural spectral lines
MARKER_03: Structural reconfiguration
Reorientation inconsistent with dust dynamics
MARKER_04: Periodicity shift
Change/disappearance of reported periodicity post-perihelion
MARKER_05: Behavioral response
Change coincident with observation window or directed stimulus
