  "THE COUNTERTEST ANSWERED. 3i-atlas-signal-studies-aio-20261104 set this address to record whether the drift interval or its sign is composed. The interval is composed exactly ('researchers applied a drift rate filter of 0.05 to 1.5 Hz/s across all frequencies.'). The sign is not: the paper's sentence carries none, and its Figure 4 places the retained hits at 0 to +1.5 Hz/s (draft §5.1).",
  "THE STATED PURPOSE AND THE EXPECTED SIGN. 'Purpose: To capture the expected frequency shift (acceleration) caused by the relative motion between 3I/ATLAS and Earth, while accounting for uncertainties like potential object rotation or tumbling.' The shift that motion produces on a tone carried by the object is negative in every ATA session: 'A rising range-rate lowers the received frequency, so a positive acceleration gives a negative drift.' (draft §5.1.1, Horizons at the ATA site: 'the drift of a constant tone riding on the object is −0.125 Hz/s at 1075 MHz and −0.19 Hz/s at 1623.75 MHz'). An interval stated without a sign reads as covering the expected shift; the plotted interval holds the opposite sign. The composition reproduces the paper's purpose and its unsigned interval, and the discrepancy between them stays where the paper left it.",
  "WHAT THE FILTER REMOVED, COMPOSED AS RFI CONTROL. 'the calculated minimum drift rate for 3I/ATLAS was approximately 0.15 Hz/s, prompting a middle-ground range to filter out excessive radio frequency interference (RFI) without missing real signals.' The filter is described as removing interference 'without missing real signals'; the class a transmitter on the object would occupy sits outside the plotted interval. The archive's own look at that class in the public July 3 and July 8 sessions (draft §6) found nothing beyond background at the windows examined.",
  "ACCURATE FIGURES. 'reduced the initial set of nearly 74 million narrowband hits (detected via the bliss pipeline) down to about 1.9–2 million hits before further localization and visual inspection.' The figure agrees with the press account's 'reducing the total number of hits by 97.4%'. The FAST note ('(Note: Other observatories like FAST utilized a maximum drift rate up to 2 Hz/s in search routines, corresponding to similar relative acceleration models).') gives a maximum and no sign, and is not checked here.",
  "SMALLEST REPAIR. 'The paper filters hits to drift rates of 0.05–1.5 Hz/s; its Figure 4 shows the retained hits at positive drift only, while a tone fixed on 3I/ATLAS drifts negative throughout the ATA sessions.' COUNTERTEST: '3i atlas ata drift rate sign'."
