FA-13676 / Numerical aggregation / Open access
Contingency pearson reduction: Absolute cell discrepancy replaces the squared discrepancy. · case 01
The reduction disagrees with its explicit aggregation oracle.
ROOT CAUSE
Absolute cell discrepancy replaces the squared discrepancy.
VERIFIED REPAIR
Preserve the contingency pearson reduction contract at the identified reduction decision.
Unsuccessful approach: Signed residuals additionally cancel across cells.
Case contract
For a rectangular nonnegative integer count table, return the Pearson sum of (observed-expected)^2/expected under independence, with expected=row marginal*column marginal/grand total. Zero expected cells contribute zero; empty or zero-total tables return "0". Exact Fraction string; no inferential p-value claim.
Why this case matters
Exact bounded examples isolate a reduction defect without floating-point or external-service effects.

Verification & scope
Small offline integer/rational inputs only; no performance, statistical inference, or production-library conformance claim. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
