  "limitations": [
    "Only a direct-light floor/three-sphere scene family; no game engine or full path tracing.",
    "Ray counts match. Compute, bandwidth, and VRAM do not match; report is not an equal-frame-time comparison.",
    "Clock gap has no observations; it is not 500 fully rendered frames.",
    "CPU timings exclude shared feature/prior preparation and privileged reference enumeration; not full-renderer frame times.",
    "Hidden changes deliberately omit invalidation and use the stale prior; controls remain fallible.",
    "Negative linear-radiance estimates are retained for statistical metrics. Display clipping introduces bias.",
    "Small scene-cluster intervals characterize this generator only; no cross-game generalization claim."
