Record equality and the passive-astronomy boundary

Identical complete interval channels and instruments produce identical adaptive record laws by induction on their unnormalized branch states. This is the complete-process comparison in Psy02-B CheungPsy02B. Equal selected number records alone do not establish that stronger premise.

Passive astronomical observation may constrain source spectra and backgrounds. It does not ordinarily provide the independently known injected labels $X_i$ required to score (eq:attemptvariables). Replacing a classical carrier by a quantum one cannot create that missing observation or intervention channel; the corresponding observation-boundary distinction is emphasized in Psy03-D CheungPsy03D. Its numerical uncued-rule bound is not imported into this different astrophysical task.

The three assessment settings must therefore remain separate:

1. passive observation of an uncontrolled source;

2. a proposed controlled astrophysical intervention;

3. theoretical repeated preparations or simulations.

Only the second and third can directly instantiate the known-label task as defined here. The third is not an observation of an astrophysical black hole.
