 "description": "These claims, from EA-MANDALA-MERKABAH-01 v0.6, specify the verification that must hold before Book entries become source-eligible. They require transform-of-transform Feist holding, six conjunctive gates in place of a weighted score, a multi-substrate comparison test, an exposure-normalized convergence metric G_c, and a three-part live-sky acceptance test. M-VAL is phased by recursion depth, each phase gating the next, and one forecast holds that the Book will become source-eligible once verification confirms the operator algebra.",
