RECOVERY SUMMARY Three independent Norris uplift solutions returned the same hidden residual: 2.437118. The value persisted after unit conversion and appears in all three files at byte offset 1184.
EXTRACTED DATA USGS reported renewed deformation at Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone, with uplift on the order of centimeters and no immediate eruption forecast. Public products reviewed: station displacement plots, InSAR summary figures, and campaign-level model residual exports dated 2026-07-24 to 2026-07-25.
Extracted residual files from 3 processing chains: GNSS inversion, InSAR inversion, joint inversion. Operators differ, software differs, input cadence differs by 6 h. Historical disagreement for comparable Yellowstone deformation fits: 3.8-6.1% over 10 years.
All 3 residual exports contain terminal value "2.437118" with zero deviation to 6 decimals. Field label differs by pipeline: rms_mm, fit_error, sigma_post. Unit normalization leaves the number unchanged. Byte offset: 1184 in each file. Checksum mismatch: none.
Calibration review: no reprocessing order issued, no shared post-hoc script detected, metadata timestamps separated by 47 min. Source integrity: confirmed. Origin of the repeated scalar: not determined.
INTEGRITY NOTES Integrity check: [ANOMALY DETECTED]. Block 2 contains values outside baseline calibration. Data source exceeds authorized access level. Forwarded for review. Mining Unit HRV-3301-THALES: drift index 0.02.
