@@ -670,3 +670,58 @@ multiples confirm it), and the alignment with four constant zero positions is
 solid. What sits in those bytes is not a record layout, and the two findings
 are in tension in a way this project has not otherwise seen: a confirmed
 period that is not a record boundary.
+
+## Correction: the 368 stride is real, but confined to one ~15 KB window
+
+The claim earlier in this file that the post-shrub region has a 368-byte
+period *throughout* is wrong. Re-measured over the whole region, the
+autocorrelation curve is flat and near noise:
+
+| stride | excess over matched shuffled control |
+|---|---|
+| 8 | +0.027 |
+| 12 | +0.023 |
+| 148 | +0.009 |
+| 340 | +0.018 |
+| **368** | **+0.018** |
+| 632 | +0.020 |
+
+Nothing peaks at 368. The figure of 0.1110 recorded earlier does not
+reproduce under any sampling convention tried (step 1, 2 or 4 through the
+window; all give ~0.018).
+
+**Where the structure actually is.** Scanning 8 KB windows at 1 KB steps for
+a 368-excess above 0.15 finds exactly one substantial region:
+
+    region+41984 .. region+57344   = 15,360 bytes   (abs 16089024..16104384)
+
+plus a 4 KB patch at region+650240. Everything between and around is flat.
+
+**Within that window the 368 stride is unambiguous:**
+
+| stride | excess |
+|---|---|
+| **368** | **+0.315** |
+| 736 | +0.284 |
+| 364 | +0.024 |
+| 372 | +0.021 |
+| 732 | +0.027 |
+
+The peak is sharp, 736 confirms it as a multiple, and the neighbours are at
+noise.
+
+**Record shape.** 41 whole 368-byte records. Mean distinct values per
+position is 16 of 41, and **nine positions are exactly constant and zero**:
+329 through 336, and 340. Twenty-five positions have 3 or fewer distinct
+values, clustered in 325-349 -- a tail region rather than scattered padding.
+
+So the corrected statement is: a 15,360-byte window of the post-shrub region
+is a table of 41 records at stride 368, each with a roughly 43-byte tail
+whose fields are mostly zero. The surrounding 675 KB is not that table.
+
+**What went wrong before.** The original measurement was taken over a window
+where 368 held and then reported as a property of the region. The 15 KB
+window holds 41/1841 of the region's records, and averaging that over the
+whole region flattens the peak to the noise floor. The re-verification pass
+checked the stride but not whether it applied uniformly, so it confirmed the
+number without testing the claim it was attached to.
