Status: OUT
System correctness is both unachievable and unfalsifiable: the gap between specification and implementation widens under every failure mode (distributed protocols require unmet storage guarantees, replica divergence accumulates without bound, storage degrades monotonically), and the testing methodology cannot detect these gaps (crash paths untested, protocols validated only under synchronous simulation) — the system cannot be correct and cannot discover that it is not.
The depth-4 conclusion that correctness gaps widen under failure combined with the depth-3 conclusion that protocol safety is unfalsifiable produces a depth-5 epistemic closure: the system's incorrectness is provable from analysis but invisible from testing
