Play Whe Traditional-System Testing

A controlled testing pattern

TTLottoStats first freezes the rule being tested, translates it into a reproducible selection, defines the historical horizon, avoids using future results to construct the selection, compares it with an appropriate coverage baseline and evaluates later data separately where possible. Search across many systems or favorable periods can create false confidence, so the test definition and validation boundary matter.

The public strategy pages remain the place to inspect the traditional construction itself. This page reports only selected completed benchmarks.

1-in-8 benchmark

The frozen 1-in-8 mapping produces six unique candidate marks from each starter. Across 27,363 immediate chronological transitions, it recorded 4,528 hits, or 16.5479%, against expected six-mark coverage of 16.6667%. The fixed validation portion recorded 16.5306%.

1-in-16 benchmark

The frozen 1-in-16 mapping was tested under the same broad chronological discipline. It recorded 4,494 hits across 27,346 transitions, or 16.4338%, against an expected 16.6667%. The untouched validation portion recorded 16.3457%.

Traditional reference remains separate

The existing Traditional Play Whe front door contains systems, charts and Number Stories. Their provenance and cultural meaning should be read as reference material. A later test may examine a rule, but neither the source of a chart nor the existence of a public calculator proves predictive effectiveness.

What This Means

The tests found that the 1-in-8 and 1-in-16 systems did not outperform the ordinary coverage expected from selecting six marks. This is a conclusion about predictive performance, not a judgment about the cultural or traditional value of the charts.

The traditional methods remain available as reference systems, but the completed tests did not validate them as dependable future-selection rules.
