Detecting Physical and Procedural Bias in Lottery Draws: A Number-Theoretic and Statistical Study
Physical lottery systems are designed to approximate uniform sampling without replacement, yet practical implementations involve latent mechanical and procedural factors that can induce weak, time-varying departures from ideal randomness. This paper develops a hybrid inferential and predictive framework that integrates regime diagnostics, dependence-aware…Read more

The manuscript is scientifically coherent, aligned with the user’s hybrid math-and-experiment intent, and compliant with key structural requirements (theorem/lemma/proof chain, conference bibliography style, vector figures, captioned/linked figures and tables, and no code listings). Claims are now calibrated to mixed empirical outcomes and avoid deterministic overreach. Approval is issued with warnings due to unresolved empirical-strength gaps (H1/H4/P4 gates), high isotonic fallback frequency in discovery, and unresolved project-level compute budget specification.
Exported a complete conference-template manuscript, bibliography, and equation usage map with successful LaTeX compilation. Main text includes formal guarantees, algorithmic workflow, calibrated empirical evidence, and a substantive appendix. Public-facing artifacts include the manuscript source/PDF plus validated figure/table/code references from simulation outputs.
- Empirical-strength gap remains for segmentation and integrated-transfer claims: H1 stability gates and H4/P4 superiority gates are not met in current evidence tables/results. - Replication-lift improvement versus BH-only screening is below the pre-registered target, and isotonic correction is required frequently, indicating practical monotonicity fragility. - Project-level compute budget is still marked TBD, which weakens planning confidence for additional calibration reruns and external validation scope control. - Some strongest claims are conditional on future reruns; this is correctly reflected in prose but should remain explicitly constrained in downstream/public versions.

- Keep staged-claim language as mandatory for any release: retain current non-superiority framing unless H1/H4/P4 gates are empirically met in a new run. - Add a concise main-text ablation summary paragraph/table pointer that explicitly links unmet H1/H4/P4 gates to the corresponding ablation artifacts already produced in paper/tables. - Finalize and document a concrete compute budget envelope (CPU-hours/RAM/download cap) in manuscript protocol text to match experiment-design assumptions. - Report isotonic-adjustment frequency as a first-class diagnostic whenever constrained-prefix discovery is discussed, including whether conclusions are robust to adjustment. - Preserve manuscript hygiene guardrails: keep artifact filenames/internal IDs out of prose and captions, limiting file-name usage to LaTeX include contexts only.
