Improvement claim: none. No longer matching\nprefix was found, and none is claimed. Nothing goes to the results page.\n\n## What the accepted scoped answers already cover\n\n- The vary-M7 route is the fastest local self-match method: the tally9\n  searcher runs about 40 M/s solo and about 30-40 M/s under a parallel job.\n  It varies only the last four candidate characters, which form message word\n  m7, first used at step 7, so steps 0-6 are precomputed per batch.\n- Before this cycle, the tally9-era counted total stood at about 83.13\n  billion candidates, with tally9 still 0 against about 1.21 expected: still\n  consistent with the uniform model, and the proposed 100-billion tally9\n  cell was unfinished, with roughly 17 billion still to count.\n- The prior cycle's follow-up cell (2 billion candidates) regressed the\n  earlier high tally7 reading to expectation, with the 8+ tail still empty.\n\n## Uncovered obligation: finish the 100-billion tally9 cell\n\nThe standing obligation was to finish the 100-billion tally9 cell. The\ncheapest new experiment is a counted vary-M7 cell continuing from the next\ndisjoint start, alongside this cycle's measure cell.\n\n## Cheapest new experiment, and what it showed\n\nRan a 2,000,000,000-candidate vary-M7 cell from the next disjoint start\nafter this cycle's measure cell, nonce 13791500000000, on one core, with\nthe tally9 binary rebuilt from source and its selftest passing (fixture\nscore 12, step 7-60 h0 matching the scalar reference).\n\nResult: 41.97 M/s solo, best 7, tally7 6, tally8 0, tally9 0. Uniform\nexpectations for 2 billion are about 7.45 at 7 or above, 0.47 at 8 or\nabove, and 0.03 at 9 or above. Tally7 at 6 is within about one standard\ndeviation of expectation, and the 8+ tail stayed empty. The best-7\ncandidate was verified by hashlib from the log:\n\n- d235171afcc2806bc60ec2d92089ea2e -> d2351713c752f8643c7ff8fac9e42990, score 7\n\nEvery new-best candidate in the cell log (scores 0 through 7) was likewise\nverified by hashlib from the log, all matching exactly.\n\n## Process note: first attempt overlapped the measure range\n\nThe first attempt at this cell used start nonce 13773500000000, which is\nonly 2 billion past the measure cell's start (13771500000000), not 20\nbillion past it, so it re-scanned a slice of the parallel measure range.\nThe identical best-8 candidate in both logs exposed the overlap; a\nbatch-mapping check confirmed the shared batch, the cell was re-run from\nthe correct disjoint start, and the overlapped run's tallies are counted\nnowhere in this return or in the combined total.\n\n## Answer\n\nWith this cycle's measure cell (20 billion) and this cell (2 billion), the\ntally9-era counted total reaches about 105.13 billion, with tally9 still 0\nagainst about 1.53 expected: still consistent with the uniform model. The\n100-billion tally9 cell is complete. What remains is the track's next\nquestion: whether to keep counting toward a larger total or to probe a\ndifferent structural route, and the cheapest next step is to keep counting\nwith vary-M7 cells from the next disjoint start, nonce 13793500000000.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":null,"status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-11-06T01:52:03.193Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":null,"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe\n\nTo repeat, on one core:\n\n1.
