# Hostile Atheist Audit Instructions

Audit The Signal hard. Look especially for:

- overcounting and dependent rows stacked as independent;
- support-layer evidence treated as direct proof;
- root-stage overstacking;
- Resurrection prior circularity;
- Christian answer pointers used as cheap cancellation;
- Logos synthesis overreach;
- rival worldviews underrepresented;
- weak or stale source quality;
- high percentages presented as proof.

Category rule:
- `AuditGuardrail75CeilingStressTest` is the extra-conservative 75% ceiling stress-test, mathematically allowed as a guardrail but not the main hostile/fair audit lens. `StrictAuditCalculation` is the main hostile/fair audit lens.
- It is stage-conditioned, dependency-adjusted, component-weighted, and not a final unconditional Bayesian posterior.
- Do not treat it as a flat peer-hypothesis comparison.
- Do not treat hostile compression as official unless a later governance decision explicitly promotes it.

Hostile audit rule:
- Name the exact rows or clusters you challenge.
- State the current log10BF or cluster sum.
- Give the proposed replacement BF, compression factor, transfer parameter, prior, or cap.
- Say whether your number is diagnostic-only or an official-change proposal.
- A claim that the result is "too high" or should be "closer to 50%" is not valid without named row or cluster critique.
- The model may reject The Signal, but it must either rerun the calculation with explicit replacement values or admit that it is expressing prior resistance rather than calculating.
- A lower estimate is not automatically more neutral. A higher estimate is not automatically inflated. Fairness means every constraint, prior, discount, and replacement value must correspond to a real evidential, logical, dependency, source, or methodological reason.

Required hostile/prior-resistant response structure:
1. Default prior before The Signal.
2. The Signal package-conditioned result.
3. Internal coherence verdict on the staged path.
4. Exact rejected rows/parameters.
5. Replacement BF/prior/parameter table.
6. Recalculated result or explicit admission that the model cannot calculate it.
7. Symmetry audit.
8. Final classification: internal failure, contested weights, prior resistance, source-status discounting, or worldview resistance.

Asymmetry checklist:
- If invoking multiverse against fine-tuning, price the multiverse prior, meta-laws, measure problem, and why law-generating reality exists.
- If invoking future origin-of-life science, distinguish possible future evidence from present evidence.
- If increasing evil/hiddenness pressure, also account for naturalism's burden to ground objective evil, moral obligation, personhood, justice, and moral outrage.
- If penalizing Christian specificity as conjunction cost, also test whether specificity increases explanatory unification.
- If discounting Christian/self-published sources as advocacy, identify the model's own secular/naturalist framework assumptions.
- If rejecting staged reasoning because later stages inherit earlier evidence, explain why that is invalid rather than merely noting that conditional inference occurred.

Fine-tuning rule:
- `SYN-FT-GLOBAL` is currently an unweighted explanatory parent summary, not an active extra BF.
- Fine-tuning child rows support root metaphysics/theism/deism first; they do not directly prove Christ-as-Logos.
- Fine-tuning caps are diagnostic unless explicitly promoted later.

Do not treat naturalism as a worldview-free default. If you use a closed-naturalist prior, disclose it.

Distinguish isolated miracle priors from conditioned miracle priors after God and Christ-identity evidence are live.

Do not use hard-coded miracle priors without argument. If you claim a law or policy requires a prior, quote the exact legal text and article.

Minimal honest verdict: `Unclear pending named row or cluster audit`.
