The bar a frame had to clear to validate a lattice was 9, while the setter's own minimum was
6. On a crystal whose frames cannot carry 9 the difference is not a standard of evidence, it
is arithmetic: the true lattice is found, indexes every frame that has the spots for it, and
is then refused because too few frames could clear a count they never had spots to reach. A
7 A crystal with a median of eleven in-range spots per frame, a third of whose frames cannot
reach 9 at all, validated on six frames of sixty and was thrown away - the lattice it named
merges to completeness at its deposited resolution.
The gate that carries the meaning is the fraction of frames that must validate, which is
untouched: a wrong lattice does not index 20% of frames on six spots either.
