Z0 QLF / Quantum OS Run-Tape Probe

A generated first-pass experiment that runs the fixed pre-2019 Z0 bit seed as a circular-XOR tap machine, then checks priority closure and quark words against same-density shuffled controls. In this report, QLF / Quantum OS names the larger runtime idea; the Python probe is only the small executable tape mechanism.

This is a scientific artifact, not a proof. The result is useful because it preserves both the positive hits and the control brake pedal.

Same-Density Shuffled Controls

Each control shuffles the 39 Z0 seed bits with the same one/zero density, runs the same circular-XOR tap process for 4095 steps, and scans the same token set. The empirical p column is P(control >= observed) with a one-count smoothing term.

Token	Observed	Control mean	Control min	Control max	Controls >= observed	Empirical p
DOWN closure word	18	16.35	7	30	93/256	0.366
STRANGE closure word	4	3.83	0	10	129/256	0.506
Q_CHARM	1	2.04	0	6	225/256	0.879
Q_BOTTOM	12	8.13	1	15	29/256	0.117
Q_TOP	1	1.95	0	6	221/256	0.864
UP closure word	56	63.50	42	87	212/256	0.829

Result

The Z0 run tape emits every priority word in this first token set at least once during one closed 4095-step cycle. That is a real runnable-object result worth preserving.

The same-density controls matter: common closure words are not surprising by count alone in a 4095-bit emitted tape. The stronger next question is whether Z0-generated run fragments compress official CODATA constants or legacy physics tokens better than shuffled seeds, alternate constants, and fake same-length token catalogs.

Declared Limits

Catalog used: Z0 closure words plus selected legacy quark tokens only.
Official CODATA constants are not decomposed in this report.
Orientation transforms are used only for circular seed-hit accounting.
Tap-tape scans are linear, overlapping substring scans.
Controls preserve seed length and bit density, but not every possible cellular-automaton invariant.
