The main experiment concerns inference; an optional LoRA extension tests whether analogous effects survive parameter updates.\n\nThe treatment called a **contact epoch** requires verified source re-entry, an epistemically non-equivalent transformation, and return to the original task. It is not mere exposure, reconstruction, rehearsal, or transfusion of missing content.\n\nSix arms separate these effects: matched exposure; source re-entry alone; gate-disabled rotation; ritual scaffold with null operator; full contact-epoch renewal; and an optional training extension. The confirmatory endpoint is intent-to-treat **Renewal Gain** under a fixed token-and-attempt budget.\n\nThe nonce corpus contains structural decoys, planted exceptions, series-extension traps, contamination canaries, and escrowed random seeds. Five operators are powered in the main experiment and three held out for transfer tests. The examiner layer is ablated in three ways to determine whether improvement comes from transformation, routing, or evaluation assistance.\n\nThe protocol gives ten hypotheses, each with explicit falsifiers.
