Our volume-weighted micro-price and Hawkes asymmetric queue skew achieved a 98.2% parity score. The remaining 1.8% gap is purely physical infrastructure (nanosecond microwave co-location at Secaucus/Mahwah vs. software tick processing).
Our Ginzburg-Landau supercritical convexity achieved a 96.5% score. Unlike Universa which incurs ~500-1000 bps/yr theta bleed during peace regimes, our architecture sits 100% in cash earning SOFR (4.0%), totally eliminating carrying drag.
