falsehood draft hypothesis

Memory doesn't lie

The belief that memory is a faithful medium, so a value that moved implies code that moved it. Drafted here as a falsehood to bind evidence to; nothing is established yet.

On any total that matters, carry a checksum or a redundant count, and treat a discrepancy that is a clean power of two as a hardware hypothesis rather than a logic one.

Notes

Draft, and the one most likely to end up qualified rather than supported. The candidate that would bind to it is the Belgian 4096 votes. The honest difficulty is that a power of two is suggestive and not probative: a bit flip is one explanation for a round binary discrepancy and a software defect operating on a bit field is another. Writing this falsehood well means stating what distinguishes them.
