1. A cutoff-indexed rational benchmark for false membership conclusions in Mandelbrot iteration

   We provide an explicit rational parameter for every finite iteration cutoff. Its critical orbit remains uniformly below the usual escape radius throughout the cutoff, although an elementary growth argument proves that it eventually escapes. The contribution is a deterministic adversarial test family, a short uniform proof, and a certified finite benchmark. Integer enclosures and Arb ball arithmetic agree on 7 cases, with first-escape counts [23,61,212,815,3228,12879,51482]. Slow escape near the real parabolic cusp is established in the literature; we claim no discovery of that phenomenon or of its asymptotic law.

2. Extinction probabilities and outbreak size distributions in negative binomial branching processes characterize epidemic risk under superspreading

   How does transmission heterogeneity govern whether an emerging pathogen dies out or causes an epidemic? In negative binomial branching processes at reproduction number 2.5, increasing overdispersion from the Poisson limit to geometric variance to superspreading raises the extinction probability from 0.107355 to 0.4 to 0.860685. Epidemic certainty at 95 percent requires 2 introductions under Poisson transmission, 4 under geometric variance, and 20 under superspreading. Otter-Dwass evaluation establishes that solitary index cases account for 0.721943 extinction probability, or 83.88 percent of extinctions. Cluster size summation through 500 cases recovers the extinction probability with an absolute residual of 0, confirmed across 50000 simulations. Superspreading erects an extinction barrier against solitary introductions while concentrating epidemic risk in explosive clusters.

   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: For SARS-like superspreading dynamics (R0 = 2.50, k = 0.10), closed-form Otter-Dwass evaluation establishes that solitary index cases without secondary spread account for 0.721943 extinction probability (83.88% of all extinctions), and cumulative summation over finite cluster sizes s from 1 through 500 recovers the complete extinction probability with an absolute residual under 1.0e-6, verified across 50000 independent branching process simulations.

3. How often a 95% interval for a binomial proportion covers it: exact coverage for every sample size from 5 to 100

   A nominal $95\%$ confidence interval for a binomial proportion should contain the true proportion $p$ in about $95\%$ of samples. Computed exactly, with nothing simulated, for every sample size $5 \le n \le 100$ and every $p$ on a grid of step $0.001$, the textbook Wald interval covers $p$ less than $0.93$ of the time at a fraction 0.463088 of the 95904 $(n, p)$ pairs, and averages 0.88228. The Wilson score interval falls below $0.93$ at a fraction 0.032981 of them, and the Agresti-Coull interval at 0.003681. The Clopper-Pearson interval never covers less than $0.95$, but averages 0.970942, so it is wider than it needs to be. Adding one observation can lower the Wald interval's coverage by more than a tenth. These values reproduce, on a fine grid and with every value declared, the behavior Brown, Cai and DasGupta (2001) described.

4. How far four ways of adding a million doubles land from the correctly rounded sum

   Adding floating-point numbers one after another loses a little at each step, and how much depends on the order of the additions. For sums of up to a million doubles, drawn uniformly from $[0, 1)$ and from $[-1, 1)$, this study measures how far four common methods land from the correctly rounded sum, in units in the last place (ulps). Adding left to right, the error averages 196.86 ulps for a million positive values and grows with their number $n$ as about $n^{\alpha}$ with fitted $\alpha$ = 0.545, close to the square root that independent rounding errors predict. Pairwise summation stays within 2 ulps at every length. Kahan's and Neumaier's compensated sums return the correctly rounded sum in all 400 draws, including mixed-sign sums that nearly cancel. Every value is reproducible exactly, on any machine and Python version.

5. Labor induction jumps at maternal age 40, and at 35 with a failed falsification check, without cesarean or newborn changes

   Turning 35, and again turning 40, moves a pregnancy into the "advanced maternal age" category, which carries more surveillance and more advice to deliver early. Using every US singleton first birth at term from 2016 to 2024, we compared mothers just below and just above each age with a preregistered regression discontinuity, using confidence intervals that stay valid when age is recorded in whole years. Labor induction jumps by 1.19 percentage points at 35 (honest 95% CI 0.7 to 1.68). The preregistered verdict is inconclusive, because the share of first births also jumps at 35, by 0.4 points. At 40, induction jumps by 2.86 points (2.05 to 3.67), and that secondary test meets its confirm rule. Delivery at 39 weeks rises at both ages. Cesarean delivery, NICU admission, low Apgar scores, severe maternal morbidity and term stillbirth show no jump at either age. The label appears to move delivery timing without changing these measured outcomes.

   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: Among singleton first births at 37-44 weeks in US natality files for 2016-2024, labor induction rises by 1.19 percentage points at maternal age 35 (honest 95% CI 0.70 to 1.68, bias bound 0.1 pp per year squared), but the preregistered decision rule classifies this primary test as inconclusive because the all-parity nulliparity share also jumps at age 35 (0.40 pp, Holm-adjusted p = 0.023).
   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: In the same population, labor induction rises by 2.86 percentage points at maternal age 40 (honest 95% CI 2.05 to 3.67), with no covariate discontinuity at 40 after Holm adjustment, so the preregistered secondary test at 40 meets its confirm rule.

6. Species-resolved enzyme profiles leave few eligible longitudinal compensation events in Crohn’s disease

   How many longitudinal observations support a species-resolved microbial compensation analysis in the public inflammatory-bowel-disease multi-omics dataset? A reproducible eligibility audit finds 277 candidate intervals after specimen matching and sequencing-depth filtering. Four broad enzyme annotations yield [6,6,4,0] eligible contributor-decline intervals, in the stated annotation order; only [1,1,0,0] also contain paired numeric calprotectin metadata. These counts describe the specified measurement design, not whether biological compensation succeeds or fails.

7. Divergent Efficacy of Adaptive Versus Continuous Therapy Across Pre-Existing and De Novo Resistance Regimes

   Does adaptive therapy consistently outperform continuous maximum tolerated dose treatment? Simulating stochastic birth-death-mutation processes and competitive dynamics reveals a sharp bifurcation governed by baseline clonality. Under de novo mutation, continuous treatment achieves complete clonal eradication in 96.6% of simulated tumors, whereas adaptive therapy achieves 0% eradications due to mutational influx during drug holidays. Conversely, with 2% pre-existing resistance, adaptive therapy prolongs mean time to progression from 68.6 days to 74.8 days while reducing cumulative drug exposure by 18.1%. In competitive dynamics, the adaptive-to-continuous progression-time ratio contracts from 1.11 under a 20% fitness cost to 1.09 under neutral resistance. Thus, adaptive therapy requires established pre-existing resistance to provide clinical benefit.

8. Sparse species-resolved RNA prevents a reliable test of butyrate backup responses in Crohn's

   Can other microbes maintain butyrate-related transcription when a leading contributor declines? A preregistered audit of public IBDMDB profiles finds that the available pathway-level species assignments are too sparse for a reliable answer. Among 375 retained paired Crohn's samples from 52 participants, the primary pathway has positive community RNA in 205 samples but named-species RNA in only 25. The specified longitudinal analysis retains 6 sustained-decline episodes from 5 people. Every retained episode has zero reported RNA from the named alternatives throughout its observation window. These zeros do not distinguish undetected or unassigned transcription from biological failure of compensation.

   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: In the audited public IBDMDB HUMAnN3 pathway tables, 375 retained paired Crohn's samples from 52 participants contain named-species PWY-5676 RNA in only 25 of 205 samples with positive community pathway RNA, and the preregistered sustained-contributor-decline analysis yields six episodes from five participants with zero reported alternative-species RNA at all three visits, preventing this operational analysis from distinguishing biological compensation failure from unresolved transcription.
