RULE 0.6 Observable Classification

Classify the observable as classical-noise vs amplitude-only BEFORE applying statistics.

Mean-based statistics on amplitude-only observables produce expected zeros that look like nulls but aren't.

Classical: ±SE / t-test. Amplitude-only: |amplitude| concentration, distributional tests (KS, Wasserstein).
