Lorenz attractor
PARITYS0 · dim 3No clear winner. The survival gap is under 10 percentage points and the balanced-score gap is under 0.05, so neither SolvSRK nor the best baseline clears the win threshold. Either works - choose on cost, licensing, or integration effort. All verdicts →
The classic chaotic three-state system. Terminal accuracy is intrinsically capped by sensitive dependence, so low SCD here is expected - this is a parity case, not a failure.

At Clean, best balanced arm is Vern9 · SolvSRK survival 100%, SCD 4.0.
Values are medians across seeds, measured by Resonix Labs on Resonix hardware and not independently verified; nfev and wall are on reference lab hardware (indicative). Under injected noise only SolvSRK and the SciPy arms are run. How we measure accuracy → · Verification status →
