ZERO-PAGE INDEXING EXPOSES THE DISCARDED BASE READ BEFORE WRAP

HYPOTHESIS: four-cycle zero-page indexed reads and stores cannot be represented as aggregate timing around one functional access. The processor first reads the unindexed zero-page base and discards that value while calculating the wrapped effective address, then performs the real read or write one cycle later.

Raw traces, ROM material, local paths, and personal data are not part of this public record.
