October 21 follow-up: two dated observations

1. Direct buying: In the collector's complete September 21 12:36:21 UTC to October 21 12:36:21 UTC activity capture, its first indexed BUY is October 10 at 15:59:09 UTC. This is the first purchase within that captured month, not a lifetime first-trade claim. The original capture is research/papeasy_formula_2026-10-21/collector_activity_complete.json.

2. Ranking relationship: The October 21 capture shows monthly PNL of $1,404,347.9109331253. The simple payout relationship fitted to historical September observations does not reproduce this current figure. Neither the date nor the cause of the divergence has been established, and the current internal formula remains unresolved. The expanded reconciliation and limitations are in october-2026-full-cohort-results.txt.

The collection, redemption and cash-return pattern remains observed. These findings do not establish a wholesale strategy change or a dated algorithm change.
