ROOT CAUSE

Pairs tied in a coordinate are counted as concordant.

THE FAILURE

Pairs tied in a coordinate are counted as concordant.

Unsuccessful approach: Equal coordinate differences are not the definition of ordinal concordance.

Case contract

For paired ordinal observations return sign(tau_b)*tau_b**2 as an exact Fraction string. Every unordered observation pair contributes its coordinate comparison; normalize signed concordance squared by products of non-tied x/y pair counts. Undefined if either coordinate has no varying pairs.

Why this case matters

Exact bounded examples isolate a reduction defect without floating-point or external-service effects.

HELD IN THE MEMBER ARCHIVE

The verified repair and its recorded checks are member-only.

This mechanism has 8 recorded checks per implementation. The open-access tier publishes the failure and the unsuccessful fix; the repaired source that passes every check, and the observations that prove it, are available to members.

Every case sharing this mechanism uses the same contract and the same repair, so this one record is held back for all of them.

Member access is invitation-based. Sign in with your invited account to inspect the repair.

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.

Observations recorded using Python 3.12.14 at 2026-09-29T14:39:10.314103+00:00.
