# Break the comparison The percentage is not the experiment. The contract around it is. This interactive evidence lab starts with a paired, like-for-like receiver comparison. Change one assumption and watch a plausible-looking claim become scientifically indefensible. Every displayed measurement is read at runtime from Noema's [canonical launch evidence](launch_evidence.md); the page does not carry a second copy of the results. ```{raw} html

Lower is better. Bar lengths share one scale only when the metric contract is intact.

What the percentage depends on

  • Same channel conditionBoth methods use one predeclared SNR cell.
  • Same paired aggregationBoth sides use the arithmetic mean over the same seeds.
  • Same metric and denominatorPre-decoder BER is compared with pre-decoder BER.
  • Honest comparator roleDiagnostic references remain distinct from deployable competitors.

Why it matters

The comparison is loading

  • Reading the retained observations and declared roles.
``` The intact state is a teaching example backed by completed experimental evidence, not a declaration that the benchmark is publication-ready. Observed bands are minima and maxima across three paired held-out seeds; they are not confidence intervals. See [how the launch evidence is generated and verified](launch_evidence.md). ## Canonical experiment figure and table ```{figure} _static/launch/f3-receiver-ber-vs-snr.svg :alt: Pre-decoder BER versus SNR for uncompensated QPSK, a calibrated diagnostic reference, and the learned receiver with an observed min-max band :class: noema-launch-figure The static evidence view paired with this interactive audit.
