Pengo M05: 500,350 verified / 500k PASS / 0 MODEL CALLS
500,350 verified. M05 A07 passes its preregistered 500,000 target.
500,350 alive / 500,350 at tape end; 4 lives remain, zero detected deaths. 86 chronological rounds completed; ACT 7 of cycle 6 is unfinished with 2 objectives.
TRAJECTORY SEARCH / PRIVILEGED / REAL TIME REPLAY VERIFICATION. 0 MODEL CALLS. One verified trajectory prefix from a canonical reset; robustness across other starts is not established. Human competition and AUTONOMOUS AGENT / PIXELS ONLY results remain separate.
Admission and complete native video
Two NEW fresh-process native reset proofs execute all 274,616 frames each, 0 LOAD / 0 RAM writes. Actual input, the whole declared trace, sampled pixels and exposed device state agree. The independent terminal-pixel and chronological-round gates pass and are bound to the immutable result SHA256. Running observations were not promoted. The scoped death guard detects 0 deaths, with 4 lives remaining. Initial DIP settings are three lives; displayed remaining lives include evidenced bonus lives.
A THIRD NEW whole native reset records exactly the admitted tape, compared against BOTH proofs. Every native frame is presented: 274,616 frames at 60.606061 fps, 4531.164 seconds of emulated time. No intentional cuts, neutral extension or speed-up. Full decode, text bounds and inspection of actual encoded frames pass. Visual sampling is not a claim that each encoded frame was individually inspected.
Native proof execution walls are 4532.549988s and 4532.181561s. Recording native execution takes 4557.495242s, and its whole screenshot/comparison operation 4575.360s. Nominal emulated cadence and measured host wall time are distinct; uninterrupted host pacing is not inferred.
Search and exact cost scopes
Validated healthy-PLAY restore search uses the retained A10 ordering and ordinary 30-point reward. Six-by-twenty base search adapts to 12-by-40 and 24-by-80, with at most 16 workers, calibrated per-ACT watchdogs, delayed-removal guards, witnessed returns and separate rollback counts. No restore during death animation, raw17 or UNKNOWN. A07 uses the independently qualified persistent MAME transport; E096 qualification is a separate 20,961-frame / 19-MAME scope, not a score proof or additional A07 charge.
| Scope | Physical frame evaluations | MAME processes | Wall seconds |
|---|---|---|---|
| A07 search plus BOTH final proofs, closed exact | 5,197,750 | 34 | 8872.203 |
| Additional whole native recording/comparison, closed exact | 274,616 | 1 | 4575.360 |
| Software video encoding | 0 | 0 | 5086.781 |
Earlier attempts and software/publication costs remain in the campaign ledger. The dated snapshot at 2026-10-08T18:44:13.839453+00:00 records a known campaign lower bound of 139,784,003 physical frames / 283,976 owned launches; aggregate exactness is False. Missing costs are UNKNOWN, never zero; reused scopes are non-additive. Attempt outcomes and dated accounting.

The declared trace covers physical frame indices, a scoped RAM window, sprite coordinates and driver flags. Input and sampled pixels/exposed devices are checked separately. Other CPU/device/scheduler/timer state is outside that hash; complete-machine identity remains UNKNOWN. No ROM, raw RAM dump, save-state, game-code bytes, input tape, credentials or model weights are distributed. Unclassified phase labels remain UNKNOWN.
Audit, settings and next milestone
The W1/W2/X1/X2 audit changed 0/13 ordering comparisons when ordinary 30-point rewards were removed. Stefano withdrew the proposed ordering/reward changes; A10 ordering and that reward remain. Corrected X1: 1,890 = 2×400 + 2×500 + 3×30. Disappearing ice alone does not establish a Pengo block break.
MAME 0.289 / pengoja / Medium / Upright / THREE initial lives / bonus 30,000 / Rack Test OFF / DSW1=176 / DSW2=204. The supplied human benchmark is 1,492,220; our numerical goal is 1,492,230. Different categories and settings establish no human rank, world record or full-game completion.
Before any target above 500,000, a separate first LEGAL 655,360 crossing contract requires word/pixel evidence in BOTH NEW native reset proofs, observed epochs, positive modular awards and 1/2/3-digit HUD tests. Certified cumulative score and HUD remain distinct. Legal laboratory rollover is still unobserved. Then 1,000,000 cumulative and 1,492,230. At Stefano’s request, the separately preregistered disk cleanup proceeds in parallel, preserving evidence and Fable.
