Owner: "I think a corridor could be worth a sixth of a room, this is ok. maybe we should dump the ratio_circulation altogether if there is already a pressure in circulation caused by the cost benefit ratio per msq. this is the kind of thing we want to root out of the scoring model: anything that is double counting, or using a gaussian where a linear ramp is appropriate, etc." value_circulation = 50 stands; hxi's rate question is closed. The duplication argument is stronger than it first looks. score = value/cost is already a ratio, so the per-m2 economics (50 against a build cost of 200) is not merely an absolute pressure -- adding corridor moves value/cost by an amount that depends on how much of the building is already corridor. It is ALREADY proportional. ratio_circulation said the same thing again as a whole-building multiplier, on a curve where twice the corridor is far more than twice as bad. Correction to my own first measurement: I overrode ratio_circulation and got scores going DOWN when a <=1 multiplier was removed, which is impossible. All four corpus programmes DECLARE ratio_circulation, so the CONF_DEFAULTS value I had changed was never in play and the two arms differed only in sigma. Same trap as value_supported in 39.19. Against the keep-it case, recorded because it is the one real argument: three of four declare a POSITIVE target (harbor/maple 0.08, health-centre 0.10), making the term formally two-sided rather than "less is better". It does not survive the numbers -- the lower side is worth at most 13.3% on the large programmes against 99% on the upper side, and "a building needs some circulation" is enforced structurally by access and connectivity, which no amount of value can buy off. Disabled in CONF_DEFAULTS and the four corpus configs, each with the reason inline and a note that a [target, sigma] pair re-enables it. Fail sets unchanged; it was always a value multiplier. Scores +42% to +7712%. 39.24 also sweeps every remaining term against the owner's two tests. Verdicts: perpendicular, proportion, width, crinkliness, access, size's lower side, ratio_outside, staircase volume and the count/limit fails are all sound. Filed as homemaker-py-dpt: size's UPPER side (cost already charges area; 82% of size fails are over-target), the minimum-internal-area factor (a third statement of "build the rooms"), the 0.5**n_fails curve (a ruling, not a measurement), and two dead paths -- ratio_public/private_outside, which no config declares, and the daylight factor pinned to 1.0 since the descope. Also updated a test I added last turn which asserted ratio_circulation was the second charge; it now pins that the linear ramp is the ONLY one. 419 passed. Closes homemaker-py-hxi.
