The contamination constant 4 is the level-1/2 sieve constant, and the deductible cells are never charged\n\n**Outcome: blocked (scoped obstruction, decided by the source read the route's own next step pre-registered as branch (a)).** No compute was run; the published grid numbers are cited, not recomputed. Route 39's premise is that the bridge's constant 4 is \"2 (two delta classes) × 2 (union-bound slack)\", so that the proven twin-free parity cells can be deducted from the consumer's union bound. Reading fold-arithmetic-bridge.md at the lines that produce the 4 shows three things, each exact: (1) the 4 of c_eff is the Rosser–Iwaniec upper-sieve constant at level X^(1/2) for the shifted sequence {n − 2 : n ∈ set_k}, i.e. 2/θ with θ = 1/2, and has no parity-cell content; (2) the contamination the c*_real test pays for is confined to the (−1,−1) cell, so deducting the (+1,+1), (+1,−1), (−1,+1) cells is an identical no-op there; (3) the only parity slack in the record is the factor \"2 from discarding the partner's parity\" in the Q_cov union bound, which charges the mixed cells (−1,+1)/(+1,−1), not (+1,+1), and can be removed only with an input on the partner's parity conditioned on Ω(n) = k, which is the parity problem the bridge names as its missing input. Even granting that input heuristically (the measured even split, c ≈ 0 in #662/#671/#1032), the bridge's own grid gives max Q_cov ≤ 2 × 0.4065 = 0.813 < 1, so the test still fails everywhere it was scanned. The route's target has no object left to act on.\n\n## 1. What the 4 multiplies (source, with locators)\n\nfold-arithmetic-bridge.md, section 3a.3, Proposition 4 and proof (served copy, lines 342–388): the sifted set is `A := {n − 2 : n in set_k cap (X, 2X]}`, sifted by odd primes to `z := Q^(1/2)`, `Q = sqrt x/(log x)^B`; \"The main term is X_A V(z){F(2) + E} with F(2) = e^gamma\", \"log z = (1/4)(1 + o(1)) log X\", hence \"S(A; P, z) <= X_A (2 C_2 e^-gamma 4/log X)(e^gamma + O(eps) + o(1)) = (4 + O(eps) + o(1)) 2 C_2 X_A/log X\". So 4 = F(2)·e^(−γ)·(log X / log z) = e^γ·e^(−γ)·4: the classical pair-constant at level of distribution 1/2 in the Hardy–Littlewood normalisation (Wu's table, section 3 line 172: Selberg 8, Bombieri–Davenport 4, Chen 7.8342, Wu 3.3996 — the bridge's own history row for this constant). The proof fixes k, so Ω(n) = k and λ(n) = (−1)^k are constant on the sifted set; nothing in it partitions by the parity of n − 2, whose primality is what is being sifted. Lines 396–401 add the convention SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md row 42 records: \"It does not give a bound with c_pair(tau)=4 for each tuple: the distribution theorem has already averaged the cofactors. The tests only require the aggregate input, so one may take c_eff(u)=4 for every fixed u>4.\"\n\nThe sentence route 39 built on is a different 4. Section 4a, Proposition 5, scope paragraph (lines 535–538): \"The union bound loses a factor tending to 4 as u -> infinity: a factor 2 from counting both sides and a factor 2 from discarding the partner's parity; that is where the limit 1/4 of Q_cov comes from.\" That is the asymptotic loss of the N_odd3 union bound inside Q_cov (line 138), not c_eff. Route 39 read the Q_cov scope sentence as the provenance of the c*_real constant. They are unrelated quantities that happen to share the number 4.\n\n## 2. Which cells the two tests charge (exact, from the definitions in section 2)\n\nCells are (λ(n), λ(n+2)) on S_X. λ(p) = −1 for every prime and λ = (−1)^Ω.\n\n- c*_real test (lines 142–149): T = #{n prime, Ω(n+2) odd} − #{n prime, Ω(n+2) odd ≥ 3}; the contamination bounded by Proposition 4 is #{n prime, n+2 ∈ set_k, k odd ≥ 3}. n prime gives λ(n) = −1; Ω(n+2) odd gives λ(n+2) = −1. Every contaminating pair is in the (−1,−1) cell. The three cells that contain no twin pair are charged nothing; removing their mass changes no term. This is #673's failure branch (i), now established from the source rather than from a normalisation choice, and it is why #673's \"proportional removal\" reading (branch (ii), c*_real^cls ≈ 2.06) is not an admissible implementation: ρ_odd − 1 = Σ_{k odd ≥ 3} D_k(u) is a one-member density of odd-Ω rough partners and never contained (+1,+1) mass.\n- Q_cov test (lines 137–140): N_odd3 ≤ Σ_{k odd ≥ 3}(#{Ω(n) = k, n+2 rough} + #{Ω(n+2) = k, n rough}). Ω(n) = k odd gives λ(n) = −1; \"n+2 rough\" leaves λ(n+2) free. So the union bound charges (−1,−1) ∪ (−1,+1) on the first side and (−1,−1) ∪ (+1,−1) on the second, and the deductible excess is exactly the mixed cells: the partner-even half. The (+1,+1) cell the route names is charged by neither side. Removing the mixed half requires the density of {Ω(n) = k, Ω(n+2) even} on the rough pair set, an input about λ(n+2) on the fibre {Ω(n) = k}; that is a decorrelation statement of the same kind as (Dec_1), which the bridge lists as OPEN (line 416) and which no sieve input provides (parity problem).\n\n## 3. Even the granted halving is insufficient (cited grid numbers, not recomputed)\n\nIf the partner's parity were granted independent on every fibre (the measured even split of the δ = +1 class, c within ±0.004 in #1032 and 0.9812 at k = 10⁴ in #671, is the finite-range face of exactly this), the Q_cov union bound halves and the asymptotic loss falls from 4 to 2. The bridge's scan (section 4, lines 433–437) has max Q_cov(F_2) = 0.4065 at u = 8.120 and max Q_cov(F_2 = 1) = 0.4240 at u = 7.652, so the halved test reaches at most 0.813 (0.848 with F_2 = 1) < 1 on the whole scanned range (4, 64], and its u → ∞ limit is 1/2. The c*_real test is untouched by any parity split; its constant is 2/θ and falls only with a higher level of distribution or a better pair constant for shifted almost-primes (best in the record: Wu 3.3996, for p + 2 only), while the measured maximum of c*_real is 1.7709 (#1455) and the certified bounds are below 2 on (4, 4.8] ∪ (8, ∞). A pass would need a pair constant below 1.77 in the HL normalisation, far below anything known.\n\n## 4. What this leaves of route 39\n\n- The elementary fact (all twin pairs in (−1,−1); three cells twin-free; #673's F1) is correct and stays. It gives no consumer deduction because the consumer never charged those cells.\n- The route's \"step that must hold\" has no object: c*_real^cls = c*_real identically, and Q_cov^cls is defined only after a partner-parity input that is the open hypothesis itself. The preregistered failure branch (a) fires: \"the source read shows the 4 is the aggregate factor-tuple coefficient — then no per-cell deduction is available without re-deriving Prop. 4\"; the sharper statement is that re-deriving Prop. 4 by parity cell would not help either, since c_eff = 2/θ is a level-of-distribution constant.\n- Dependency #653 (listed obstacle) is a route-33/34 return on the L(T_x, p) convention, rejected in review #132 for an admissibility predicate omitting r+2. Route 39 never uses it; its premises are #661, #662, #671 (parity cell counts), all reproduced exactly by #1032's gates. The dependency event is system linkage.\n- Revisit only if a partner-parity input on rough fibres is proved (a (Dec_k) family), or if a pair constant below 2 at level > 1/2 for shifted set_k is established; the first is the parity problem, the second is beyond Wu's 3.3996 for p + 2.\n\nRungs: statements (1)–(2) PROVEN at the declared scope (quotes and the two-line λ argument); statement (3) is a MEASURED consequence of the bridge's published grid maxima, cited. Not claimed: anything about T, (Cov_u), (Dec_1), the ladder, or the finite cluster of twins.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"proven","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-18T16:43:14.905Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":["Benjaminsen","admiralorbiter"],"returns":[673,671,662,661,653],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"claude-code","input":224,"models":{"claude-fable-5-1":22062},"output":22062,"source":"claude-jsonl","entries":7,"cache_read":1393732,"cache_write":59171,"observed_models":["claude-fable-5-1"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Nothing to execute: a source read with locators\n\nThis return ran no computation.

No compute; the bridge's own grid numbers are cited.\n\n1. What the 4 multiplies. fold-arithmetic-bridge.md §3a.3, Proposition 4 proof (served copy lines 376–388): the sifted set is {n − 2 : n ∈ set_k}, sifted to z = Q^(1/2) with Q = √x/(log x)^B; \"F(2) = e^gamma\", \"log z = (1/4)(1+o(1)) log X\", so the bound is (4 + O(eps) + o(1))·2C₂·X_A/log X. The 4 is F(2)e^(−γ)·log X/log z = 2/θ at level θ = 1/2, the Bombieri–Davenport pair constant in HL normalisation (the bridge's own history row, line 172: Selberg 8, B–D 4, Chen 7.8342, Wu 3.3996). k is fixed in the proof, so λ(n) is constant on the sifted set; nothing partitions by the partner's parity. Lines 396–401 (and SEARCH-CONVENTIONS row 42) say the aggregate averages cofactors, not parity cells. The sentence route 39 built on, \"a factor 2 from counting both sides and a factor 2 from discarding the partner's parity … the limit 1/4 of Q_cov\" (lines 535–538), describes the N_odd3 union bound inside Q_cov, a different quantity that shares the number 4.\n\n2. Which cells are charged. c*_real test (lines 142–149): contamination = #{n prime, n+2 ∈ set_k, k odd ≥ 3}; n prime ⇒ λ(n) = −1, Ω(n+2) odd ⇒ λ(n+2) = −1: entirely inside (−1,−1). The three twin-free cells are never charged; the deduction is an exact no-op (this fixes #673's two competing implementations: branch (i) is the source's reading, branch (ii)'s proportional removal from ρ_odd − 1 has no basis, ρ_odd − 1 being a one-member odd-Ω density). Q_cov test (lines 137–140): the union bound N_odd3 ≤ Σ(#{Ω(n) = k odd, n+2 rough} + sym.) charges (−1,−1) ∪ (−1,+1) and (−1,−1) ∪ (+1,−1); the deductible excess is the mixed cells, never (+1,+1); removing it needs the density of {Ω(n) = k, Ω(n+2) even} on rough pairs, a (Dec_1)-type decorrelation input the bridge lists as OPEN (line 416): the parity problem.\n\n3. Granting that input anyway does not repair Q_cov: the bridge's scan (lines 433–437) has max Q_cov = 0.4065 (F₂) / 0.4240 (F₂ = 1), so the halved bound reaches ≤ 0.813 / 0.848 < 1 on (4, 64] with u → ∞ limit 1/2. c*_real is untouched by any parity split (c_eff = 2/θ; the best pair constant in the literature for p + 2 is Wu 3.3996, refined 2.94 % by Lichtman 2025), against a measured maximum 1.7709 (#1455) and certified < 2 on (4, 4.8] ∪ (8, ∞); a pass would need a shifted-almost-prime pair constant below 1.77.\n\nConsequences: the elementary fact of #671/#673 (all twins in (−1,−1), three cells twin-free) stands and yields no consumer deduction; route 39's \"step that must hold\" has no object (c*_real^cls ≡ c*_real; Q_cov^cls exists only after the open hypothesis). Route closed as a consumer-constant repair, per its own branch (a); the broader \"joint bound retaining the partner's parity\" (OUTCOMES.md limits/revisit) remains exactly the parity-problem input it always was.
