Symmetry operators were scored by Pearson correlation on raw merged intensities. Both members of a symmetry pair sit at the same |s|, so the resolution fall-off is variance the two arms share exactly, and it inflates the correlation of true and false operators alike. The clearest demonstration is the test this commit adds: a synthetic data set with no symmetry at all - a radial fall-off times an independent per- reflection factor - is assigned point group 432 by the shipped code, with all 23 rotations confirmed at 0.632 to 0.656. The existing suite passes identically before and after, because nothing covered this. The new case fails 64 of its 100 assertions on the old scoring and passes on the new. On real data the same effect had the gate leaking: on one cubic crystal three pseudo-symmetric operators scored 0.506 to 0.517, above the 0.5 bound, so they were confirmed and 432 had to be refused further downstream by the twin-law and systematic-b guards. Scored on E-squared they read 0.283 to 0.298 and exactly the eleven genuine rotations of 23 are confirmed. The normalisation has to be over the reflections the correlation actually pairs. Reusing the existing normalised array is worse than doing nothing: it is normalised over the set the absence tests use, whose surviving fraction is itself resolution-dependent, and the coupling to the resolution cut rises from 0.086 to 0.262 against a raw baseline of 0.086. Normalised over the paired set it falls to 0.023. The twin-law H statistic keeps its own vectors on raw intensities. It shares the pair arrays with the correlation, and normalising in place moves it by up to 12% against a bound whose window is 5.5% wide. Verified rather than assumed: two instrumented binaries print the same H to twelve significant figures while the correlation differs. min_operator_cc goes 0.5 to 0.30. Normalised correlations run lower, and the observed window on rugnux's own search merges is 0.298 to 0.351; 0.35 is too high, because one crystal's weakest genuine operator reads 0.351. The headroom between a crystal's weakest true operator and its own measured false -operator floor widens on 14 of 14 crystals, median 0.430 to 0.619, and the worst operational margin goes from 0.031 to 0.051. Battery, twice, against a baseline reproducible to zero: the space group is identical on all 38 crystals, per-shell merging is 0 better and 0 worse across all 380 shells, and the merged mmCIF is byte-identical on 38 of 38 - on the 12 crystals whose integration radius now adapts as well as the 25 that do not. The arm is live rather than inert: all 313 operator correlations move while every pair count and every H value stays bit-identical, and on one cubic crystal three operators that raw intensities confirmed are rejected, with the space group unchanged. Following Padilla and Yeates (2003) Acta Cryst. D59, 1124-1130 for why a resolution-normalised statistic is the right one for a symmetry test.

## Crystallographic methods adopted from other packages
|
|
|
|
The analysis pipeline reimplements methods first published, and in most cases first implemented, by
|
|
other crystallographic software. The code below is Jungfraujoch's own; the methods are theirs, and
|
|
are acknowledged here. Where a package's source was consulted this is said explicitly. None of these
|
|
packages is linked or vendored, with the single exception of GEMMI (see
|
|
[THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md](THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md)).

**[POINTLESS](https://www.ccp4.ac.uk/)** (CCP4) — the space-group search. Stage A scores each
|
|
candidate rotation operator by the correlation of I(h) with I(Rh) on **resolution-normalised**
|
|
intensities (E²), as POINTLESS does — both arms of a symmetry pair sit at the same |s|, so on raw
|
|
intensities the resolution fall-off is variance shared between them and lifts a false operator's
|
|
correlation as much as a true one's; the screw-axis test scores a
|
|
predicted-absent class against the rest of its own axial row rather than against a global mean or a
|
|
fixed cut, and lets confidence fall away with the number of axial reflections instead of refusing
|
|
below a count. P. Evans, "Scaling and assessment of data quality" (2006), Acta Cryst. D62, 72-82

**Diffraction anisotropy** — the description of the overall fall-off by a single anisotropic

displacement tensor, its symmetry constraints, and the fact that only its deviatoric part is

determined (the isotropic part being degenerate with the overall scale) are Sheriff and Hendrickson's.
|
|
The estimator fits that tensor to the observed intensity distribution, taking sigma(I) into account,
|
|
in the sense of Popov and Bourenkov. The directional diffraction limits - <I/sigma(I)> in a cone about
|
|
each principal direction, and the reporting of the anisotropic deltaB as the range of the principal
|
|
components - follow AIMLESS. rugnux reports these; it corrects no intensity and removes no reflection
|
|
on a directional criterion. S. Sheriff and W. A. Hendrickson, "Description of overall anisotropy in
