The Kinetics SR board (the bottom layer, honeycomb looking board with insulation on each side) decouples the mastering room floor from the cement slab below.

The inside walls of the room are then built upon the isolated floor and are further decoupled from the outside shell with other isolating materials and airspace.

By the looks of it and your information. I'm even more worried than before. Besides the fact that it, theoretically, is a 4 leaf system which prolly don't "spring" as you might expect.
You're building your inner walls (does the ceiling rest on those?) ON this elevated floor? Imagen the presure on the perimeter of the floor... it's in no comparison to the finishing floor load. (the dead load is gigantic). Did you made the spring extra dense underneath the walls?
Are those hollow cavities in between the floor beams? btw, why not add the floor directly on the kinetics stuff then? Or cut the kinetics stuff to fitt underneath the wooden beams? (saves money).
In my honest opinion, this is a good example of a wrong floor (or wrong design for that matter).
But since you've already in the finishing stages of the build.... too bad.
cheers.
(excuse my post, I'm not trying to be a wise ass...)
