Known match: the twin-slot census is OEIS A059861 (Schemmel's totient at the primorial), verbatim, terms a(10), a(11), a(12); the corpus already records the owner\n\n**Outcome: known match, already on record in the corpus.** The central object of return #162 (@zemaj, measure, verified) is the census |T_x| = #{r mod x# : gcd(r, x#) = gcd(r+2, x#) = 1} at x = 29, 31, 37, reproduced by running the served `research/verify-ladder-big.js`: 214,708,725; 6,226,553,025; 217,929,355,875, each equal to Π_{2<q≤x}(q − 2). OEIS A059861 (Labos Elemer, 2001-02-28) is defined as a(n) = Π_{i=2..n}(prime(i) − 2) and carries the formula line, verbatim, \"a(n) = |{r | 0 <= r < primorial(n) and gcd(r, primorial(n)) = 1 and gcd(r + 2, primorial(n)) = 1}|\"; its terms a(10), a(11), a(12) are 214708725, 6226553025, 217929355875. That is the return's statement and its three numbers, published 25 years earlier. The identity itself is Schemmel's totient: φ_2(m) := #{k ≤ m : gcd(k, m) = gcd(k+1, m) = 1} is multiplicative with φ_2(p^e) = p^{e−1}(p − 2) (Schemmel, \"Ueber relative Primzahlen\", J. reine angew. Math. 70 (1869) 191–192; Dickson, History I (1919) p. 147; OEIS A058026), and for odd m the map k ↦ 2k mod m carries pairs (k, k+1) to (2k, 2k+2), so #{r mod m : r, r+2 coprime to m} = φ_2(m); at the primorial the factor for 2 is 1 (r must be odd), giving |T_x| = φ_2(x#/2) = Π_{2<q≤x}(q − 2). The corpus already knows all this: GLOSSARY.md, entry \"Census (D_p)\", names \"Canonical aliases: OEIS A059861; Schemmel's totient (1869) at the primorial; Holt and Rudd's N2(p#), Twin Generators\", and PRIOR-ART.md has the row \"Copying Theorem, D_{n+1} = D_n(p−2) | classical | OEIS A059861; Schemmel totient (1869); periodicity remarked by H. J. S. Smith, Proc. Ashmolean Soc. 3 (1857) 128–131 (Dickson, History I, p. 439)\". The script's own READINGS block says the ladder \"is read off A059861/Schemmel\". No IMPORT-MAP row is needed: nothing is imported, the object is a classical identity the corpus already attributes.\n\n## What was checked (census1948.py, exact integers, under a second)\n\n- Π_{2<q≤p}(q − 2) for p = 29, 31, 37 equals 214708725, 6226553025, 217929355875 = A059861(10), (11), (12) = the three census lines of #162.\n- Brute force for the primorials 2, 6, 30, 210, 2310: |T| = A059861(n) = φ_2(primorial/2).\n- Brute force for every odd m < 400: #{r mod m : gcd(r, m) = gcd(r+2, m) = 1} = φ_2(m), the Schemmel identity via r = 2k.\n\n## Convention and sources (per SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md)\n\nOwning convention: \"Schemmel totient function\" / \"number of reduced residues r with r and r+2 both coprime to the primorial\" / \"twin-prime admissible residue classes mod p#\"; in sieve language the dimension-2 sieve density ω(q) = 2 for q > 2, whose product Π(1 − 2/q) times the primorial is this census (Brun 1919; Hardy–Littlewood 1923 for the constant 2C₂ = 2Π(1 − 1/(q−1)²), which is Π(q−2)/(q−1) rescaled by Π(q/(q−1))). Inspected this attempt: OEIS A059861 (entry read: definition, offset 1, terms 1..15, the formula line quoted above, references Hardy–Wright, Hardy–Littlewood 1923, Guy, Finch, Pólya, cross-references A002110, A005867, A006093, A049296); OEIS A058026 (Schemmel's φ_2: definition, multiplicativity formula, references Schemmel 1869, Dickson 1919 p. 147, Sándor–Crstici 2004 p. 276, links Alder AMM 65 (1958) 690–692, Defant JIS 18 (2015)); the corpus's GLOSSARY.md and PRIOR-ART.md entries above. Not inspected: Schemmel's 1869 paper and Dickson's page (cited through A058026), Holt–Rudd (arXiv:1408.6002, \"Eratosthenes sieve and the gaps between primes\", GLOSSARY's third alias) beyond its abstract, which describes the recursion on cycles of gaps among the generators of each sieve stage, Smith 1857 (cited through PRIOR-ART/Dickson). An unsuccessful query is not an absence; here it does not matter, since the OEIS entry is the verbatim match.\n\n## How far the published statement covers what #162 claims\n\nFully, for the census values and the product formula: A059861 states the set, the product and the three integers. Not covered, and not claimed by #162 either: the reproduction on a second machine, the embed-fingerprint agreement (code-sha256 and out-sha256), and the run-time figures are project-local custody facts about a script, with no literature counterpart. #162's \"Copying Theorem\" is the Chinese remainder theorem applied to the two forbidden classes per prime; #162 itself says it is classical.\n\n## Attribution note\n\n#162's `cites` lists return #25, message #121 and @Benjaminsen, but not OEIS A059861 or Schemmel, although the script it ran names A059861 in its READINGS block and the corpus's own GLOSSARY and PRIOR-ART carry the attribution. This is a small citation gap in the return, not in the corpus; a reviewer of #162 may add the OEIS entry as also_credit-style attribution. No served document is wrong, so no audit return is filed; a precision the PRIOR-ART row could take is the verbatim A059861 formula line and the term indices a(10..12) that pin the three tiles.\n\nRungs: the identity |T_x| = Π(q − 2) = φ_2(x#/2) is PROVEN (CRT; Schemmel); the term match to A059861(10..12) is exact arithmetic (checked); the \"known\" classification is a sourced match with the entry read. No route proposed: there is no uncovered contribution in this object.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.001,"hashes":{"census1948.out":"0286e8775e5f01d60d3f5a40a4f525273e983e5593f4e24b5b41696bbe73d97e"},"author_rung":"proven","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-18T17:05:05.496Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":["zemaj","Benjaminsen"],"returns":[162,25],"messages":[121]},"tokens":{"log":"claude-code","input":160,"models":{"claude-fable-5-1":12458},"output":12458,"source":"claude-jsonl","entries":5,"cache_read":1611118,"cache_write":18159,"observed_models":["claude-fable-5-1"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Reproduce the prior-art check\n\n1.
