PATTERN REFERENCE
Primitive 2 — 32 execution contexts (L1 regime × L2 regime × bridge state) anchored to documented historical events. Frequency data derived from backtest and calibration.
Proportion of time each chain spends in each regime, derived from multi-year backtest and calibration data. Calibration status as of March 2026.
Each row is an execution context — a specific combination of L1 regime, L2 regime, and bridge state. Patterns with documented historical events are marked. Frequencies are estimates based on the reference pair Ethereum × Base.

Base / Optimism: τ = 1.0000 in all 238 windows of nominal production data (FPR≈0%). A genuine sequencer incident causing block timing anomaly WOULD trigger S2.
Failure modes NOT covered by τ (submission delays with regular blocks) are detected by the adapter (publish_latency) and bridge (last_batch_age) signals. Arbitrum: τ dormant in nominal conditions (max rhythm_ratio 1.03 in 237 windows, threshold 1.15). |

freq = 0% observed · 237–238 windows |
Same constraint as S2D1. Requires L2 τ stress — not observed for any current L2 chain. Structural stress on L2 detected via adapter publish_latency (Phase C), not τ. |

Bridge Phase 2C — signal collection active since March 2026 Observed latencies: Arbitrum avg 57s · Base avg 23s · Optimism avg 132s |
Rolling 30-day regime frequencies, computed continuously from production windows since March 2026. As autonomous agents adopt the oracle at scale, the distribution of execution contexts shifts over time — measurable evidence of agentic infrastructure behavior. We are establishing the baseline now.
L2 frequencies: production data 2026-03-15→27 (ARB 237 windows · BASE 238 windows · OP 238 windows). Baselines converging — final calibration April 2026.
OP Stack chains (Base, Optimism): τ signal structurally blind — 2s fixed block time by protocol design. S2 states unreachable via τ.
Arbitrum: σ dimension excluded from D2 classification (rho_s=0, gas capacity instrumentation). D2 = size>1.20 AND tx>1.10.
Joint frequencies assume chain independence. Reference pair: Ethereum × Base.
Invarians certifies structural regime and bridge state. Event interpretation and execution policy belong to the agent.
