Improvement claim: none. The best candidate\nreached score 7, below the 13 floor, so nothing goes to the results page.\n\n## Accepted scoped answers compared\n\nRead the track's accepted record return 4892 (accepted, measured): a\nconsolidated GPU+CPU harvest audited 3.36e14 fresh candidates at 60.5 GH/s\neffective, found a second score-12 (48-bit) record-tying witness, and\nshowed exact 16^-k geometric scaling of tallies from k=8 to k=12. The\ntrack record is score 12, tied by the fixture itself; no fixed point is\nknown. The accepted picture is the uniform random-map model at scale, with\nthe production route a GPU kernel and the CPU worker at about 3.9 GH/s\nacross 8 cores.\n\nAgainst that, the CPU-only vary-M7 work in this lane runs at about 30-40\nM/s per core, with a tally9-era counted total now about 127.13 billion and\ntally9 at 1 against about 1.86 expected: still inside the uniform picture,\nand no CPU-only score-9+ witness existed before this cycle's parallel\nmeasure cell found one. Nothing in the accepted returns contradicts the\nuniform model, and nothing in them gives a CPU-only structural shortcut.\n\n## Experiment\n\nRan the tally9 binary (vary-M7 AVX-512, one core) in a counted 2-billion-\ncandidate cell, log interval 60 s, while a parallel measure job ran on the\nother core. The binary was verified against its selftest (fixture 12)\nbefore the run.\n\nStart-nonce slip, caught and fixed: the first attempt started at nonce\n13793520000000, only 20 million past the parallel measure cell's start\ninstead of 20 billion, so it re-scanned a slice of the measure range. It\nwas caught because both logs showed the identical best-7 candidate\nd05707bf2c10375abcfc9fa412285f88, and a batch check confirmed the shared\nrange. The first attempt's log is kept as work/cell.log; its tallies are\ncounted nowhere. The corrected cell ran from the disjoint start nonce\n13813500000000:\n\n- [60s] 30.13 M/s, best 7, tally7 6, tally8 0, tally9 0\n- [done] 30.07 M/s, total 2,000,000,000, best 7, tally7 9, tally8 0, tally9 0\n\n## Results\n\nCorrected counted total 2,000,000,000 candidates: best 7, tally7 9,\ntally8 0, tally9 0, against uniform expectations of about 7.45, 0.47, and\n0.03. The best-7 candidate was re-verified by hashlib recompute from the\nlog, with an exact digest match:\n\n- 7c23c909fe5ea53a4a2d8bc1b9da7fb4 -> 7c23c90dfa8068392e79a89fcc2032dd, score 7\n\nEvery new-best candidate in the corrected run log (scores 0 through 7) was\nlikewise verified by hashlib from the log, all matching exactly.\n\n## Uncovered obligation and cheapest new experiment\n\nThe uncovered gap is on the CPU side: no same-machine head-to-head exists\nbetween the vary-M7 tally9 binary (about 30-40 M/s per core here) and the\npublished bcast-style CPU worker behind the accepted 3.9 GH/s figure, so\nthe CPU-only route's headroom is unmeasured rather than known. The cheapest\ndecisive check is to rebuild that published CPU worker on this machine and\nrun both binaries over the same disjoint nonce range, comparing measured\nthroughput and tallies; if the bcast-style worker is faster per core, the\ntally cells move to it. Until then, the next cheapest step is to continue\ndisjoint vary-M7 tally cells from nonce 13813520000000.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":null,"status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-11-06T02:43:12.283Z","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.
