Partitioned encryption — two systems on two message parts. All 24/24 hits are at period ≥13 (underdetermination false positives) and ALL fail Bean constraints.
Partitioned encryption — two systems on two message parts. All 24/24 hits are at period ≥13 (underdetermination false positives) and ALL fail Bean constraints.
In plain English: Partitioned encryption — two systems on two message parts — using multiple encryption steps applied one after another. 75 thousand key/parameter combinations were tested. The best result matched all 24 known letters — under investigation.

How to read this record
- Verdict – NOISE (no better than random guessing), INTERESTING (slightly above random, almost certainly coincidence), SIGNAL (statistically unusual, warrants investigation), or FULL MATCH (all 24 known letters correct).
- Confidence Tier – Tier 1 = mathematical proof (permanent). Tier 2 = every possibility tested. Tier 3 = partially tested. Tier 4 = not yet tested.
- Configs Tested – How many different key/parameter combinations were tried.
- Best Score – How many of the 24 known plaintext letters the best attempt matched (out of 24).
- Keystream Consistency (Bean) – Whether the key values at different positions are mathematically consistent with each other.
- Scope Limitations – What this elimination does not rule out.
