Low/high are the 10th and 90th percentiles. The signed logarithmic event-horizon coordinate is negative below 45, zero at the horizon, and positive above it, so convergence and divergence remain visible on both sides. P(active) applies a Jeffreys half-count residual prior to the share of deterministic paths at or above the horizon; finite simulations therefore never imply zero risk. Path volatility is calibrated to collected score changes and asymmetric stress jumps scale with live topology coupling. This is a scenario distribution, not a price forecast.

02C — PERPETUAL CONTRACT SPECTRUM

Perpetual leverage is resolving.

BTC/ETH and curated HIP-3 JPY, equity, and commodity perpetuals form a bounded confirmation layer. Macro contracts score only when the underlying-aligned move and perp-specific funding or mark dislocation coexist. Perpetuals cannot activate the reverse-carry signal alone.

Crowd-implied BoJ, Fed, and recession probabilities form the v8 confirmation layer. These odds are stress-gated and cannot activate the reverse-carry signal without market transmission.

06 — METHODOLOGY

Model status: validating market inputs.

Intrikata Reverse Carry Factor Model v9: funding 28% · volatility 27% · risk assets/credit 18% · JPY-cross breadth 17% · rates/futures 10%. CFTC crowding, the nine-domain network, and perpetual leverage are stress-gated confirmations. Macro perpetuals add JPY, SP500, JP225, gold, copper, and crude observations; only directionally aligned funding/premium dislocations enter the scalar score, and gold remains topology-only. Event-market odds add BoJ, Fed, and recession confirmation, so positioning, correlation, derivative leverage, or crowd odds cannot activate the signal alone. Rates, funding, volatility, carry, equities, credit, commodities, global liquidity, and perpetual contracts remain distinct layers rather than being collapsed into an equities+FX proxy.
