+- `psychometric_core` recovers the Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, Table 2, p. 12 `T0VAR`; p. 16 `T0VARstd`; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T22:06Z from https://www.jstatsoft.org/index.php/jss/article/download/v077i05/1104) scalar standardised first-occasion latent variance. Table 2 names `T0VAR` the latent process initial variance/covariance. Page 16 prints standardised matrices with the suffix `std` when appropriate. The 2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` forms `T0VARstd` as `solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR` when `verbose = TRUE`. OpenMx `%&%` is the quadratic form `t(A) %*% B %*% A`. The default `ridging = FALSE` adds 0, not `0.0001`; that ridge is a numerical hack and is not this exact map. The scalar correlation is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR`. Form strictly positive `p_0` first, then `1 / √p_0`, then `(1 / √p_0) p_0 (1 / √p_0)`. Unstandardised `T0VAR` is defined for a zero first-occasion variance; standardised `T0VAR` is not. Zero `p_0` has no positive SD and fails closed. `T0` is an event-time occasion, so a non-event clock fails closed. Free `T0VAR` does not require stable `a < 0`. Distinct positive `p_0` recover the same 1. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` `t0_m · √v / √p_0` depends on `p_0` and is not this correlation. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` `t0_b² v` is extra TI variance, not this correlation. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix `expm`, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation. Meredith (1993) remains unread (Unpaywall 2026-08-23T22:06Z: `is_oa: false`; title *Measurement Invariance, Factor Analysis and Factorial Invariance*).

 - `psychometric_core` recovers the Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, Table 3, p. 13 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`; Table 2, p. 12; p. 16; footnote 4; Eq. 3, p. 5; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T21:34Z from https://www.jstatsoft.org/index.php/jss/article/download/v077i05/1104) scalar standardised first-occasion time-dependent predictor effect. Table 3 names `T0TDPREDEFFECT` the effect of time-dependent predictors on latents at `T0`. Table 2 names `M` `TDPREDEFFECT` and names `T0TDPREDCOV` the first-occasion covariance, not this coefficient. Page 16 prints standardised matrices with the suffix `std` when appropriate. Footnote 4: standardisations use only the relevant variance, not the total. The affecting variance is time-dependent predictor variance `v`, not `TIPREDVAR`. The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR` `p_0`, not within-subject `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)`, because Table 3 is the first occasion, not the process dynamics. Form strictly positive `p_0` first, then strictly positive `v`, then `t0_m · √v / √p_0`. Unstandardised `t0_m` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance; standardised `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is not. Zero `p_0` or zero `v` has no positive SD and fails closed. `T0` is an event-time occasion, so a non-event clock fails closed. Free `T0VAR` does not require stable `a < 0`. The continuous standardisation `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not this first-occasion map. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is a different named matrix even when `t0_m = t0_b` and the predictor variances match. Section 7.1 warns that omitting trait variance confounds between- and within-person information. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses the total, not free `T0VAR`, and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` when `TRAITVAR` is nonzero. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix `expm`, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation. Meredith (1993) remains unread (Unpaywall 2026-08-23T21:34Z: `is_oa: false`; title *Measurement Invariance, Factor Analysis and Factorial Invariance*).

 - `psychometric_core` recovers the Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, p. 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd`; Table 2, p. 12; Eq. 3, p. 5; footnote 4; §7.1, pp. 18–19; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T21:10Z from https://www.jstatsoft.org/index.php/jss/article/download/v077i05/1104) scalar standardised continuous time-dependent predictor effect. Page 16 prints continuous-time parameters and, when appropriate, standardised matrices with the suffix `std`. Table 2 names `M` `TDPREDEFFECT`. Footnote 4: standardisations use only the relevant variance, not the total. The affecting variance is time-dependent predictor variance `v`. The affected variance is within-subject `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)`, because the process dynamics are individual, or average individual, temporal dynamics. Form strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` first, then strictly positive `v`, then `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))`. Unstandardised `M` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance; standardised `TDPREDEFFECT` is not. Zero `asymDIFFUSION` or zero `v` has no positive SD and fails closed. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √p` is a different named matrix even when `M = B` and the predictor variances match. The finite-interval intercept-style standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not this continuous Dirac coefficient. Section 7.1 warns that omitting trait variance confounds between- and within-person information. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses the total, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` when `TRAITVAR` is nonzero. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Predecessor `event_time.rs` asymptotic-std `process_sd == 0` / `predictor_sd == 0` gates after already-checked `within == 0` and `v == 0` were unreachable; this slice drops them so stacked line/branch coverage can close. Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix `expm`, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation.

 - `psychometric_core` recovers the Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z from https://www.jstatsoft.org/index.php/jss/article/download/v077i05/1104) scalar extra observed-indicator time-independent predictor variance of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR`. Equation 5 writes `y_i(t) = Γ + Λ η_i(t) + ζ_i(t)` with `ζ ~ N(0, Θ)` and `Γ ~ N(τ, Ψ)`. The 2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` forms the latent extra `addedTIPREDVAR` as `asymTIPREDEFFECT %*% TIPREDVAR %*% t(asymTIPREDEFFECT)`. The scalar latent extra is `(B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that extra, with `θ = 0` and `ψ = 0`, is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `addedTIPREDVAR` first, then `(λ extra) λ`. Do not form `λ²` first. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `v < 0` fails closed. A non-event clock fails closed. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change when the extra is nonzero and fails closed. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not this observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedT0TIPREDVAR`, not this asymptotic observed extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is measurement error, not this extra. `Ψ` is intercept variance and is not extra TI. The printed 2-latent `addedTIPREDVAR` 2.838 is not this scalar map. Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix `expm`, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation.
