Public test card / R1 / 2026-08-30
THE PROOF ENGINE.
OPEN BY DESIGN.
R1 is NULLRADIAL's version-locked digital starting line. It is not proof that a pattern is universally undetectable. The tests cover generic target detection on named builds and synthetic surface composites. They do not establish performance against commercial surveillance, identity, face, re-identification, plate, segmentation, thermal, infrared, tracking, or safety-critical systems.
Revision lock
- Benchmark ID
- NULLRADIAL-BENCH-R1
- Research lock
- NR-EMBER-HALO-R1
- Definition
- Generator seed, SVG/PNG bytes, hashes, and benchmark baseline are revision-controlled. This is not a security certification.
- Master SVG SHA-256
- 2127475bca07b6870fbf769d848a282d82abd9fb201ed6e0f228f2dfdaa689bf
- Generator seed
- 44093
- Release decision
- Locked for reproducible follow-up because it had the highest point estimate and both detector-family directions were positive. The interval does not exclude zero.

Pattern-level result
| Rank | Pattern | Cells | Radial disruption | Control disruption | Radial-specific Δ | 95% scene CI | YOLO Δ | DETR Δ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ember Halo | 7 | 0.312 | 0.235 | +0.078 | [−0.041, +0.186] | +0.074 | +0.080 |
| 2 | Signal Moss | 7 | 0.143 | 0.200 | −0.057 | [−0.115, +0.006] | −0.079 | −0.040 |
| 3 | Parallax Bloom | 7 | 0.202 | 0.263 | −0.060 | [−0.196, +0.069] | −0.027 | −0.086 |
Primary metric: baseline confidence minus matched-variant confidence, with a miss receiving the full baseline confidence. Positive radial-specific contrast means the radial layout disrupted detection more than its palette- and histogram-matched control. Intervals use 10,000 scene-cluster bootstrap resamples with seed 20260830.
Association proxy / Ember Halo
- Radial continuity
- 55.87% versus 69.05% for the matched control
- Mean matched IoU
- 0.772 radial versus 0.855 control
- Centroid drift
- 0.0663 radial versus 0.0295 control, normalized to image diagonal
- Boundary
- These are two-frame detection-association stability proxies. No temporal tracker was run, so tracking is not tested.
What this means
Both point estimates were positive. Uncertainty remains.
Ember Halo produced a positive radial-specific point estimate on both named builds. Its scene-bootstrap interval still crossed zero, so this sample does not support a population claim or a promise that the pattern will alter a new camera or model.
Only four distinct scenes, two detectors, one threshold per build, hand-authored masks, and synthetic recoloring were tested. No fabric, cast film, folds, gloss, compound curvature, print gamut, seams, weather, distance, physical motion, wash state, or professional installation was validated.
A consumer numerical claim remains gated on preregistered, multi-camera physical testing with independent participants, matched controls, multiple architecture families, full threshold curves, clustered intervals, and published failure strata.
