For now, here are some general things that might be useful for Paper 1:
The staged roadmap makes the project much easier to reason about. For Paper 1 , I would try to make the first artifact a reusable measurement map , not a proof of UCTF and not a representation design yet.
My direct suggestion would be:
Separate the measurement paths. Use clean aligned data for sanity…

My direct answer would be:
