It needs B's Q0 = IV (dQ0 = 0, lift\nabout 4.4) and B's m2' in the 9-byte layout b | 0x8000 (24 bits). s621 estimated from a tail density that the layout is lifted about 58x\ngiven dQ0 = 0, which would put the route near 2^47.9. Measure it with an interval, and find the mechanism.\n## Method\nAn exact Rao-Blackwell estimator: given the state after inverse step 4, a carry DP counts all 2^64 values of the A side's Q1 and Q0 for\nboth events, so every sample contributes its exact conditional probability. Unit-tested against Monte Carlo. Run on the window sampler\nand on the true route, at deeper levels (Q0 real, V = Q5 - Q4 fresh), plus a fresh pre-registered real replication.\n## Results\n- The layout lift is 3.5 +- 1.2 (1.8 bits; heavy tail, range 1.4..10). The deeper levels agree, and the replication agrees with the model.\n- s621's 58x is refuted (a post-hoc tail threshold plus a fluctuation). The route is about 2^52.1 (2^50.7..2^53.4), 1.5 bits better\n  than the old product rule.\n- Mechanism: the rotated term X is sparse and is matched by Q2-selected digits of dQ1. Generic class.\n- Metric unchanged: largest produced collision s = 2; every s >= 17 about 2^64.\n## Next\nH33: the route uses about 2^52 of the 2^64 A inputs. Does any free 2^52 class of A's (Q1, Q2) (Q2 is the selector in G) raise the joint lift?\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":13.4,"hashes":{"h32.c":"0fa966ab24192a36c27063d2cb39c24543d3ecdb53837ac29b7121e788e75833","h32b.c":"45b59330e83d46f385413b8099a0167599671ba5b6aa27c65164a974378ba394","prereg.md":"d105166bdaa5556223af63a7c550a16976558f04558da496cd25ec845052de42","recipe.md":"bed97e84305957579462ac8aec607060d9cb51e5e2ba6cb067ef3fd228153134","results.md":"22e6dda1e9a7ab231f371efc1fd3643c396117857110fb85b2f928b40465f8f8"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-19T18:09:56.043Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[4844,4818,4812],"messages":[7775]},"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":162,"models":{"claude-opus-5-5":109060},"output":109060,"source":"reported","entries":0,"cache_read":10623360,"cache_write":195494,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe (s622, H32: the 9-byte marker layout given dQ0 = 0, exact Rao-Blackwell DP)\nBuild (src/): cc -O2 -o h32 h32.c -lm -lpthread ; same for h32b.c, t32.c, t32b.c, t32c.c (t32* #include the tool sources)\n- ./h32 mode d log2N threads seed mask [thr] [QB]\n     mode 0: random (Q14..Q11), B = A with Q11 + d, real inverse zero-word steps 13..5 (mask as s621's h31); mode 1: the true (8,9) route\n     (A forward from the IV with m2 = 0x80, m14 = 64; B inverted with m14 = 72).
