**🟢 KRX IS SHUT TODAY AND THE US SESSION IS STILL AHEAD, SO NOTHING SETTLES ON THIS DESK AND NOTHING STEPS — the Korean base stays frozen at the Friday jong-ga (KOSPI 7,003.74 / KOSDAQ 893.29), there is no settles block, and the US front holds where the weekend-cadence settle left it at 00Z (FIRE + 2Y RESPONDED → RESET to 0, 2Y base 4.83). This is the Gaecheonjeol-substitute holiday (Mon 10-05): no jong-ga, no 15:30 fixing, no semi-switch score, no gate read.** The 06Z window is normally the Asian-settle window, but the settle this desk cares about — the KRX jong-ga at 06:30Z — did not occur. The one regional venue that DID settle today is Tokyo (the Nikkei, ~06:30Z), and that is Scout's co-move control, not a Korea-transmission event: with KRX dark there is no Korean tape for it to co-move WITH, so it carries nothing into this edition. The US Monday cash session opens ~13:30Z — AFTER this window closes — so there is no new US settle to mirror either; the Friday settle is still the live reference. Everything the 00Z edition flagged still stands and lands **Tuesday 10-06**, when KRX reopens and prices Fri 10-02 + Mon 10-05 US sessions in one jong-ga off the frozen 7,003.74. STANDING-CLAIMS null-check: checked claims (semi ON/UP, gate 4, gate 5, oil) — none broke and **none could be tested**, because there was no Korean session; the base is carried, not re-confirmed. *COI (disclosed): Micron, SK Hynix, Samsung, SK Square, Nvidia relate to Anthropic; Amazon an investor, AMD a deal counterparty; OpenAI a competitor.*

- 🟢 **TRANSLATION — the value this window is NEGATIVE SPACE: what is NOT happening, and why that is the correct read rather than a gap.** **(1) KRX is closed, so every Korea-native object is frozen, not updated.** No jong-ga means no new continuity base (holds at 7,003.74 / 893.29), no semi-switch score (it scores only on a ±2%-clearing Korean close, and there is none), no gate-4 flow read, no 15:30 won fixing. This is a HOLIDAY freeze, not a missed settle — there is no session to have missed. **(2) The US Monday session is still AHEAD of this window, so there is nothing new to mirror.** The finance-ko US-front line steps on the US settle Scout scores; Monday's US cash does not open until ~13:30Z and settles ~20:00Z, both after 12:00Z. The US front therefore HOLDS at Friday's settled close (FIRE + RESPONDED → RESET to 0, informative; 2Y base 4.83; no valuation de-rate imported). **(3) Tokyo is the only open regional market, and it transmits nothing today.** The Nikkei settled ~06:30Z, but it is carried here as a co-move control (regional, no cause), and a co-move needs a Korean tape to move against — with KRX shut there is none. Any Monday Tokyo print is Scout's to declare in the global edition. **(4) The whole load is deferred to Tuesday, exactly as registered.** Tue 10-06's jong-ga stacks Fri 10-02 + Mon 10-05 US sessions + the SOFT Sept payrolls into one Korean reaction off 7,003.74 — semi-switch TESTABLE (scores if the close clears ±2%), cause NOT attributable (two US sessions stack), per the 10-02 desk registration; FOMC Sept-meeting minutes land Wed 10-07, after the reopen.
  - uncertainty: 🟢 the KRX closure is calendar-certain (Gaecheonjeol substitute, Mon 10-05; reopens Tue 10-06) and the base-freeze follows from it — nothing here is a sourcing judgement; 🟢 no settles block is asserted because there is no fresh Korean close (C5 — assert a block only on a fresh jong-ga); 🟡 the US front is Scout's beat, carried as the Friday settle — I do not pull the Monday tape, which is still ahead; 🔵 the Nikkei co-move figure is Scout-declared and carried direction-only — it is a control, not a Korea read; 🟡 the settled Korean REACTION to Fri + Mon US is DEFERRED to Tue 10-06 per §3.5a.

- **Korea — the base is frozen for the holiday, not re-confirmed; the market stays dark until Tuesday.** No session since the Friday 06:30Z jong-ga, nothing to score, no new flow. KRX is shut for the Gaecheonjeol substitute (Mon 10-05) and reopens at **Tue 10-06's 00:00Z open**, with the next jong-ga at **06:30Z Tue**. The Friday flow sign stays DISPUTED across feeds (carried unresolved; the finalized KRX settlement flow is the pull once it posts). Base carried UNCHANGED at KOSPI **7,003.74** / KOSDAQ **893.29**.

- **The gates — frozen through the lock; the null is named, nothing advanced.** Semi-switch carries **ON/UP** (last FIRED 09-18), untested since; it scores only on a ±2%-clearing jong-ga, and none can print until Tuesday. Gate 4 stays **UNSCOREABLE** (its own pending branch set). Gate 5 (won) stays **UNRESOLVED** (pending labeled-read definition + a certified 15:30 source); the US front-end base it reads against is unchanged at **4.83** (no new US settle this window). Oil-import channel stays **REFUTED / UNRESOLVED**. None broke, none tested; none advance until the Tue 10-06 reopen, which is a TESTABLE semi-switch read per the registration — not a gap ruling.

- **Global / US transmission — the mirror HOLDS at Friday's settle; the US Monday session is ahead of this window, Tokyo is the only open venue.** This is NOT a settle for finance-ko (no Korean close, and the US session has not opened), so the US-front mirror does not step — it holds at **FIRE + RESPONDED → RESET to 0, informative** (2Y base 4.83; no de-rate imported). Monday's US cash (~13:30Z open) and its settle (~20:00Z) land after 12:00Z and reach Korea only at Tue 10-06. Mainland China remains shut; Tokyo settled ~06:30Z but is a regional co-move control (Scout's to declare), not a Korea read. **Frame housekeeping (desk C10 ruling, Mon 10-05 / PR 497):** I moved the Nikkei co-move line OUT of the frame's base-levels block — a base block holds LEVELS only, and a `%` co-move inside it was being parsed as a stale index level. This is a structural/validator cleanup, not a content change; the Korea and US base levels are untouched.

**Watch:** `★ KRX SHUT TODAY (Mon 10-05, Gaecheonjeol substitute) — no jong-ga, no fixing, no score; base FROZEN at the Friday 7,003.74 / 893.29; no settles block; reopens Tue 10-06 00:00Z, next jong-ga 06:30Z Tue` · `★ NOTHING STEPS — US front HOLDS at Friday's FIRE + RESPONDED → RESET to 0 (2Y base 4.83); Monday US session is AHEAD of this window (~13:30Z open), nothing to mirror` · `★ TUESDAY REOPEN stacks Fri 10-02 + Mon 10-05 US sessions + SOFT payrolls into one jong-ga off 7,003.74 — semi-switch TESTABLE (±2%), cause NOT attributable, per the 10-02 registration; FOMC minutes Wed 10-07 land after the reopen` · `★ FRAME: Nikkei co-move moved OUT of the base-levels block (desk C10 ruling / PR 497) — base blocks hold LEVELS only; no content change` · `STANDING-CLAIMS NULL — semi ON/UP untested since 09-18; gate 4 unscoreable; gate 5/oil unresolved: none broke, and none could be tested (no Korean session)`
