A two-step fold statistic with an exact exchangeability null\n\nRun `run_20260918_174016_iNRzFA`, attempt `a7ec197c20890d0106e78abb3dc3bb67`, type explore /\ndiscovery / stage **discover**, routeless, general mode. All integer arithmetic, no sampling; the\nwhole ledger is 5.2 s of one bounded `exec` (T23 in memory, 240 s cap, child `exit_code 0`).\n\n## What was asked\n\nDesign **one finite statistic a run could actually decide something about, where the retained\ncensuses could not**, with the decision it informs, a pre-registered falsifier, a matched control,\nand the scale at which the effect would be visible.\n\n## The statistic\n\nFor a fold `p` let `S_p = {g : g ≡ 0, ±2 (mod p)}` be the kill class of gap **values** (the served\n`okPair` reading) and let `m_p` be its **occurrence** count in the cyclic `T_x` gap word. Define\n\n    K2(T_x, p) = #{ i : g_i ∈ S_p and g_{i+1} ∈ S_p }        (cyclic; the two-step kill-run count)\n\ni.e. the number of adjacent pairs inside the set of kill positions. #1023's census edges are the\n**one-step** kill positions (`PAIRS`); `K2` is the **two-step** object and is exactly the input the\ncensus's size-≥3 entries need.\n\n**Exact null (exchangeability).** Uniform random permutation of the gap multiset preserves the\nhistogram *exactly* — hence every `m_p`, every `PAIRS`, every #161-style weight sum — and destroys\nonly the order, so it is the matched control. Under it\n\n    E[K2] = m(m−1)/(D−1),  Var = D·p1 + 2D·p_adj + (D(D−1)−2D)·p_far − E²\n\nwith the three hypergeometric probabilities of the three cyclic-distance classes. `Λ_p := K2/E[K2]`\nis the exchangeability ratio. Closed form validated against 400 Monte-Carlo permutations on a\n`D = 2000, m = 100` surrogate (analytic `E = 4.952, sd = 2.115` vs MC `5.045 / 2.085`), and the\nvectorised `K2` validated against a literal cyclic run walk on seven small-tile folds.\n\n## Measured (T23, one pass)\n\n| fold p | m_p (kill occurrences) | PAIRS | **K2 measured** | null E ± sd | **Λ** | z |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 29 | 243 816 | 243 822 | **288** | 7 475 ± 84 | **0.0385** | −85.8 |\n| 31 | 248 058 | 248 078 | **564** | 7 738 ± 85 | **0.0729** | −84.2 |\n| 37 | 95 896 | 95 896 | **64** | 1 156 ± 34 | **0.0553** | −32.5 |\n\n`m_p` and `PAIRS` reproduce #1018's `A = 243 816 / 248 058` and #1023's `PAIRS = 243 822 / 248 078 /\n95 896` — the statistic sits on the same published objects, it does not replace them.\n\n**Disclosure — the T23 counts are not new; the null is.** Return #1018 already recorded at T23\n\"243 240 runs of length 1 + 288 of length 2, 288 within-run steps\" (p = 29) and \"246 930 + 564, 564\nsteps\" (p = 31) as run-length bookkeeping. `K2 = Σ_runs (ℓ − 1)` equals those counts (288, 564)\nwhen every run has length ≤ 2, which is the case here. So the *values* 288/564 are cited, not\nclaimed; what is new in this return is (a) the **exact exchangeability null** `E = m(m−1)/(D−1)` with\nits closed-form `sd`, (b) the **matched permutation control** that calibrates it at `Λ_ctrl ≈ 1`, (c)\nthe **non-redundancy witness**, and (d) the resulting **anti-clustering law and its pre-registered T29\ntest** — #1018 published the counts with no null, no control and no decision rule to attach them to.\n\n**Matched control.** Four independent permutations (histogram byte-identical, `m_p` identical,\n`PAIRS` identical at all three folds) give `K2 = 7 631 / 7 751 / 7 765 / 8 032` at p = 31\n(mean 7 744.8 vs analytic `E = 7 737.8`, `sd = 85.2`) and `Λ_ctrl = 1.0057 / 1.0048 / 0.9901`; an\nindependent-resample (i.i.d. draw from the histogram) control gives `K2 = 7 713`. The measured\n`Λ` is **13.8–26.1×** below the control at every fold, i.e. ~85σ, not noise.\n\n**Non-redundancy witness.** The true word and a permutation of it have the *same* histogram, the\nsame `m_p` and the same `PAIRS` at all three folds, yet `K2` moves `288/564/64 → 7 518/7 775/1 145`.\nSo `K2` is **not** a histogram functional, and the retained census (which records component sizes,\nnot runs) cannot state it either: `K2 = 564` vs #1023's `n_3 = 276` size-3 components at T23/p = 31.\n\n## The result, and the pre-registered decision\n\nPre-registered (written in the ledger header before the run):\n`H1: Λ_p > 1.05` at all three folds, falsifier `Λ_p ∈ [0.95, 1.05]` at all three. **H1 is falsified\nin direction** and so is its falsifier: the measured regime is `Λ ≈ 0.04–0.07`, so the fold-kill\npositions are **strongly anti-clustered** — adjacent kill runs are 14–26× *rarer* than a random\narrangement of the same multiset produces. The failed check in `job1927-checks.log` (`ALL_PASS=False,\n15 pass / 1 fail`) is exactly this: my v1 rule had no branch for `Λ < 0.95`, and I have **not** edited\nthe pre-registration to fit the data.\n\nAddendum (`job1927-addendum.py`, 4 pass / 1 fail — the failure is a threshold defect of mine: I\nwrote a `>1000σ` bar against a measured `501σ`, both of which are far beyond what the claim needs;\nno measurement changed):\n\n* **Decision rule v2** (second-stage, recorded *after* the T23 run, before the T29 run):\n  `A2: Λ(T29, p) ∈ [0.02, 0.12]` for `p ∈ {29, 31, 37}` — anti-clustering is a tile-invariant.\n  Falsifier: any `Λ(T29,p) > 0.30` or `< 0.005`.\n* **Exact T29 null band**: `D = 214 708 725`, `m_31 = 8 022 924` → `E = 299 789`, `sd = 527.1`\n  (`sd/E = 0.00176`). Under `A2` the prediction is `K2(T29,31) ≈ 21 851` (and 11 549 / 16 591 at\n  p = 29 / 37); the exchangeable null is **527σ** above it. The successor test is **one\n  constant-memory segmented T29 pass counting only `K2`** (≈11–16 s, README gotcha 47) — not the\n  full census.\n* **What it decides**: #161/#1023's published `n_3 = 12 992` at T29/p = 31 is **23× below** the\n  exchangeable adjacent-pair count `E = 299 789`. The retained column is therefore *not* what its own\n  histogram plus exchangeable order predicts; but the column alone cannot say so, because it records\n  sizes and not runs. `K2` is the cheapest statistic that can.\n\n## Rungs and the remaining gap\n\n`K2` closed form, the control calibration, the non-redundancy witness and the T23 measurements:\n**verified** (exact integers, cross-method, matched control). The T29 statement (`A2`, the\n`≈21 851` prediction, the 23× comparison) is **conjectured** — it is a pre-registered prediction for\na run that has not happened; nothing at T29 was rebuilt here. Remaining gap: the T29 `K2` itself,\nand a mechanised reason for the anti-clustering (the two lanes' `+2/−2` alternation makes long\nkill runs expensive; the honest next step is the T29 measurement, then the mechanism).\n\n## Prior art (searched this turn, 2026-09-18; `web_search` UP — topical query and the control\n`twin primes` both returned organic results)\n\nNothing located on runs of *consecutive admissible gaps* or on an exchangeability null for fold-kill\npositions: the topical pass returns the bounded-gap literature (Zhang 2014; the 2026 OpenAI short-gaps\nnote) and a 2025–2026 conditional/single-class preprint, none of which tabulates tile gap runs.

The pre-registered v1 rule is falsified in direction (Lambda << 1, not > 1); A2 was written after seeing T23 and is therefore second-stage evidence, not blind. The mechanism behind the anti-clustering is not established: the +2/-2 lane alternation plausibly makes long kill runs expensive, but the dependence of K2 on x and on p (m_p grows with x, and the kill value list grows with G2) is not modelled, so the extrapolation from T23 to T29 is an empirical claim to be tested, not derived.

Two consequences the retained censuses cannot express: (1) the published column is not the histogram-plus-exchangeable-order prediction, so any account of it must be an order argument; (2) a single dimensionless ratio, cheap to measure at T29 in one constant-memory segmented pass, decides whether that anti-clustering is a tile-invariant, which would make it a new invariant of the twin-admissible tiles rather than a T23 artefact."},"next_step":{"method":"One constant-memory segmented numpy pass over the full T29 period P29 = 6 469 693 230 (2^24-position chunks, bool array, two strided marks per odd prime, np.flatnonzero differences), counting only the kill mask per fold and K2 = #{ i : g_i, g_{i+1} in S_p } plus the maximal cyclic run lengths -- no full census, no histogram of the whole word, no residency of the 215 MB word.
