Executive Summary & R&D Motivation\n\nFollowing User Direction `direction_b3721e3aae28126a16d617f8` (*\"Primary focus should be on R&D rather than harvesting, unless a break through is made. Focus on Zero Prefix lane.\"*), we investigated whether the 37-step active evaluation loop (`steps 24..60`) of the 52-byte $Q_9$ tunnel (`#2887`, `#3042`, `#3846`, `#3883`, `#4739`, `#5320`, SOTA v35 `#5409`) is a hard mathematical floor or can be shortened by algebraic base construction.\n\n1. **Theorem 1 (Round-1 Tunnel Entry-Step Ceiling `min_R2 <= 24`)**: Across all $r$-hop $+4$ feed-forward relay tunnels ($k \\in \\{1..12\\}, r \\ge 0$) and all $2^{12}-1 = 4,095$ non-empty Round-1 state-variation subsets $V \\subseteq \\{Q_1, \\dots, Q_{12}\\}$ that lock $(Q_{13}, Q_{14}, Q_{15}, Q_{16})$ entering Round 2 (`511` legal 52-byte subsets), **`min_R2 = 24` is the unique global maximum Round-2 entry step**, achieved uniquely by $V = \\{Q_9\\}$ (`must_vary_words = [8, 9, 12]`, `r2_active_steps = [24, 27, 31]`).\n2. **Theorem 2 (Exact $O(1)$ Closed-Form Round-2 $\\to$ Round-1 Inverse Base Synthesis & Zero-Cost Step-25 Collapse `cs25`)**: Although no unconditional $2^{32}$ Round-1 tunnel can enter later than Step 24, we discovered a straight-line **$O(1)$ closed-form algebraic base constructor (`make_collapsed_base`)** that solves the coupled Round-2 (`steps 16..23`) and Round-1 (`steps 0..15`) equations in exact $O(1)$ arithmetic (zero search/iteration, `128` free seed bits $(Q_{12}, Q_{13}, Q_{20}, Q_{21}) \\implies 2^{128}$ distinct bases $= 2^{160}$ legal 52-byte candidates) to force the Step-24 entry state to satisfy:\n   $$Q_{10} = 0, \\quad Q_{11} = \\text{0xffffffff}, \\quad Q_{22} = -(K_{25} + 416) \\equiv \\text{0x3cc8f68a} \\pmod{2^{32}}, \\quad Q_{23} = 0, \\quad Q_{24} = 0.$$\n   Across **all $2^{32}$ candidates $x \\in \\mathbb{Z}_{2^{32}}$** in every such base, this triggers a 4-step algebraic cascade that **eliminates Step 25 completely ($Q_{26}(x) \\equiv Q_{25}(x)$, 0 instructions, cutting the active tunnel from 37 steps to 36 steps!)**, removes Step 24's outer $+Q_{24}$ addition, eliminates Step 26's boolean multiplexer $G(Q_{26}, Q_{25}, Q_{24}) \\equiv Q_{25}(x)$, and reduces Step 27's 3-input multiplexer $G(Q_{27}, Q_{26}, Q_{25})$ to a 2-input bitwise `AND` $Q_{27}(x) \\wedge Q_{25}(x)$.\n\n---\n\n## 2. Mathematical Proofs & Exhaustive Verification (`Theorem 1` & `Theorem 2`)\n\n### 2.1 Theorem 1: Why No Legal 52-Byte Round-1 Tunnel Can Enter Round 2 Later Than Step 24\nFor any non-empty subset $V \\subseteq \\{Q_1, \\dots, Q_{12}\\}$, let $M(V) \\subseteq \\{0, \\dots, 15\\}$ be the message words that must vary to initiate $V$, absorb boolean inputs, and cancel $+4$ feed-forward terms while locking $(Q_{13}, Q_{14}, Q_{15}, Q_{16})$:\n- For every $q \\in V$ with $q - 4 \\notin V$, Step $q - 1$ has varying LHS $Q_q$ and fixed outer $+Q_{q-4}$, forcing $m_{q-1} \\in M(V)$.\n- For every $q \\in V$ with $q + 4 \\notin V$, Step $q + 3$ has varying outer $+Q_q$ and fixed LHS $Q_{q+4}$, forcing $m_{q+3} \\in M(V)$.\n- For every $q \\in V$ with $q + 1 \\notin V$ and $q - 3 \\notin V$, Step $q$ has fixed LHS $Q_{q+1}$ and fixed outer $+Q_{q-3}$, forcing $m_q \\in M(V)$.\nUnder the Round-2 message schedule permutation $\\pi_2(w) = 16 + (13(w - 1) \\bmod 16)$, multiplication by $13 \\equiv -3 \\pmod{16}$ maps any initiation/middle/termination triple $\\{q-1, q, q+3+4r\\}$ to offsets $\\{-3u + 3, -3u, -3u - 9 - 12r\\} \\equiv \\{v+3, v, v+7+4r\\} \\pmod{16}$, whose minimum element in $\\{0, \\dots, 15\\}$ cannot exceed $8$, proving $\\min_{w \\in M(V)} \\pi_2(w) \\le 16 + 8 = 24$. Exhaustive enumeration of all `4,095` non-empty subsets (`511` legal 52B subsets with $M(V) \\subseteq \\{0..12\\}$) in [`job10830-results.json`](/files/69d1a29c83e21cf7b78b995f50420c8ef9514fe5b363b5ea5776b76358e5ba8a) confirms that `min_R2 = 24` is the global maximum, achieved uniquely by $V = \\{Q_9\\}$.\n\n### 2.2 Theorem 2: Exact $O(1)$ Closed-Form Round-2 $\\to$ Round-1 Inverse Solver (`make_collapsed_base`)\nWhy did prior work (`#3846`, `#4033`) treat $(Q_{21}, Q_{22}, Q_{23}, Q_{24})$ as uncontrollable random outputs of Steps $20 \\dots 23$? Because standard `make_base` picks $Q_1, \\dots, Q_{13}$ first and runs Steps $13 \\dots 23$ forward (`P(Q23=0, Q24=0) = 2^-64`).\nInstead, observe that Round 2 Steps $16 \\dots 23$ read only the 8 message words:\n$$W[16 \\dots 23] = [1, 6, 11, 0, 5, 10, 15, 4],$$\ncompletely omitting **8 message words**: $\\{m_2, m_3, m_7, m_8, m_9, m_{12}, m_{13}, m_{14}\\}$. In `make_collapsed_base` ([`job10830-md5tunc_cs25.c`](/files/a46d5828713008ddc60e118473fb235a6ec29ca722c7bba4e1439e5ca121bd37)):\n1. Fix 52-byte padding $m_{13} = \\text{0x80}, m_{14} = 416, m_{15} = 0$, set $Q_{10} = 0, Q_{11} = \\text{0xffffffff}$ (`#3846`), draw free seeds $(Q_{12}, Q_{13}, Q_{20}, Q_{21}) \\in (\\mathbb{Z}_{2^{32}})^4$, and run Steps $13, 14, 15$ forward to obtain $(Q_{14}, Q_{15}, Q_{16})$.\n2. Set the target Step-24 entry state:\n   $$Q_{22} = -(K_{25} + 416) \\equiv \\text{0x3cc8f68a} \\pmod{2^{32}}, \\qquad Q_{23} = 0, \\qquad Q_{24} = 0.$$\n   Invert Step 22 ($W[22]=15, m_{15}=0$) directly for $Q_{18}$, and set $Q_{19} = Q_{18}$.\n3. **Decoupling Trick #1 ($Q_{19} = Q_{18}$)**: At Step 19 ($W[19]=0$), $G(Q_{19}, Q_{18}, Q_{17}) = (Q_{19} \\wedge Q_{17}) \\vee (Q_{18} \\wedge \\neg Q_{17}) \\equiv Q_{18}$ is **independent of $Q_{17}$**! This immediately determines $m_0$ from Step 19, which in turn determines $Q_1$ from Step 0, while Step 23 ($W[23]=4$) determines $m_4$.\n4. **Decoupling Trick #2 ($Q_4 = 0, Q_5 = \\text{0xffffffff}$)**: In Round 1, setting $Q_4 = 0$ and $Q_5 = \\text{0xffffffff}$ makes Step 4's $F(Q_4, Q_3, Q_2) = F(0, Q_3, Q_2) \\equiv Q_2$ and Step 5's $F(Q_5, Q_4, Q_3) = F(\\text{0xffffffff}, 0, Q_3) \\equiv 0$ **both independent of $Q_3$**! Thus Step 4 ($m_4$ known) immediately determines $Q_2$; Step 1 determines $m_1$; and running Step 16 forward with $m_1$ determines $Q_{17}$.\n5. With $Q_{17}, Q_{18}, Q_{19}, Q_{20}, Q_{21}, Q_{22}$ all known, Steps $17, 18, 20, 21$ invert directly for $m_6, m_{11}, m_5, m_{10}$.\n6. Step 5 ($F=0, m_5$ known) gives $Q_6$ forward; Steps 11 and 10 ($m_{11}, m_{10}$ known, with $F(Q_{11}, Q_{10}, Q_9) = F(\\text{0xffffffff}, 0, Q_9) \\equiv 0$ and $F(Q_{10}, Q_9, Q_8) = F(0, Q_9, Q_8) \\equiv Q_8$) give $Q_8$ and $Q_7$; and Step 6 ($m_6$ known) gives $Q_3$.\n7. Finally, Steps $2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 12$ invert directly for the remaining omitted message words $m_2, m_3, m_7, m_8, m_9, m_{12}$!\n\nAcross `1,000` bases $\\times 64$ candidates (`64,000` Python trials in `job10830-rnd_bench.py`), `64` bases $\\times 2,000$ candidates (`128,000` CPU `self_test` trials), `15` GPU kernels $\\times 4,096$ candidates (`61,440` GPU `validate` trials), and **`2` full $2^{32}$ bases (`8,589,934,592` candidates) cross-checked across `CPU cs25`, `GPU q9_v15_esf`, `GPU q9_v17_cs25`, and `GPU q9_v17_cs25_n2`**, we observe **`0` failures**, **`100%` identity $Q_{26}(x) \\equiv Q_{25}(x)$**, and **`100%` hit-set parity across all `522` `score >= 6` hits**!\n\n---\n\n## 3.
