No route proposed; one owning-convention row and one scoped negative\n\n**Outcome: a sourced known match plus a precisely scoped gap; no new route.** The candidate I set out to draft was: replace the record's second-moment \"balanced integer\" gate for window non-emptiness (returns #516, #517, #522/job 1205) by the sharp order-m bound of the discrete moment problem, with exact CRT k-point correlations as input, and combine it with the CRT-fiber conditioning that #517 showed helps at order 2. Two things stop it. (1) The corpus already has the order-k certificate on the full period: research/attack-bonferroni-degree.js computes V_k(L) = min Σ_v n_v P(v) over polynomials P of degree ≤ k with P(0) ≥ 1, P(v) ≥ 0 on 1..L, proves a vertex classification (its Theorem V) and a necessary condition (its Theorem A) showing the needed degree k* diverges like (θ(x) − O(1))/(log G2(x#) + O(1)), measured k* = 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 at x = 5..29; the route is in the closed register in substance. (2) Fiber conditioning changes only the union-bound term: applied to a fiber of N = W/m starts, the same Theorem A gives k* ≥ (θ(x) − log m − O(1))/(log G2 + O(1)), so a bounded degree needs m ≥ x#/G2^{O(k)} fibers, each requiring its own certificate, a total cost exponential in x, within a polynomial factor of enumeration. A 17-second pilot at x = 11, 13 shows exactly the log m mechanism. What this job does contribute is the prior-art identification, which the corpus lacks: its certificate family is the discrete (binomial) moment problem of Prékopa, its degree-2 gate is the Dawson–Sankoff inequality, and its Theorem V is Prékopa's dual-feasible-basis structure theorem.\n\n## 1. Known match (owning convention: \"discrete moment problem\", \"sharp Bonferroni-type inequalities\", \"binomial moment problem\")\n\n- Degree 2. The record's balanced integer gate, S2 ≥ B(M, N−1) with B(M, N) = (N−r)a² + r(a+1)², a = ⌊M/N⌋ (#516, #517, #522), and attack-D's degree-2 certificate, are the sharp second-order Bonferroni-type lower bound of Dawson and Sankoff, \"An inequality for probabilities\", Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 18 (1967) 504–507: P(X ≥ 1) ≥ 2S₁/(a+1) − 2S₂/(a(a+1)) with the integer a = ⌊2S₂/S₁⌋ + 1, whose extremal distribution is supported on two consecutive integers, the \"balanced\" vector. Kwerel, J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 70 (1975) 472–479, gives the sharp bounds for two and three binomial moments.\n- General degree and the vertex theorem. Prékopa, \"Boole–Bonferroni inequalities and linear programming\", Operations Research 36 (1988) 145–162, formulates exactly the LP of attack-bonferroni-degree.js (bound P(X ≥ 1), equivalently P(X = 0), given the first m binomial or power moments of a random variable on {0, …, n}) and proves that every dual feasible basis consists of consecutive pairs {i, i+1}, …, with the extra point n when m is odd; attack-bonferroni-degree.js's Theorem V (\"k = 2m even: P(z) = Π (z − s_i)(z − s_i − 1)/Π s_i(s_i+1); k odd: the same times (L − z)/L\") is that theorem in the dual (polynomial) form. Prékopa, \"The discrete moment problem and linear programming\", Discrete Applied Mathematics 27 (1990) 235–254, is the general treatment; Boros and Prékopa, \"Closed form two-sided bounds for probabilities that at least r and exactly r out of n events occur\", Math. Oper. Res. 14 (1989) 317–342, give the closed forms for the basis inverse and the bounds at orders 3 and 4; Galambos and Simonelli, Bonferroni-type Inequalities with Applications (Springer 1996), is the monograph. Later work (Subasi, Subasi and Prékopa; the 2022 review \"The value of shape constraints in discrete moment problems\", Ann. Oper. Res.) adds unimodality constraints, which cannot help here: a unimodal distribution with mode t still allows P(X = 0) up to about 1/(t+1), far above the 1/W needed.\n- Where the corpus stands. GLOSSARY.md, PRIOR-ART.md, IMPORT-MAP.md, SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md and OUTCOMES.md contain none of Prékopa, Dawson–Sankoff, Kwerel, Boros or Galambos (grep of the served copies); attack-bonferroni-degree.js cites Boole–Fréchet and proves Theorem V from scratch. The in-house proofs are correct; the attribution is missing. Lead for the record (no served document is wrong, so no audit return): a SEARCH-CONVENTIONS row, object \"polynomial certificates for the empty-window count from window-count moments\" → owning convention \"discrete moment problem; sharp Bonferroni-type inequalities; binomial moment problem\" → field terms \"Dawson–Sankoff inequality, Kwerel bounds, dual feasible bases, Boros–Prékopa closed forms\" → sources as above; and a PRIOR-ART row \"degree-k moment certificate (attack-D, attack-bonferroni-degree, #516/#517/#522 balanced gates) | classical | Dawson–Sankoff 1967 (k = 2), Prékopa 1988 (LP and basis structure = Theorem V), Boros–Prékopa 1989 (closed forms k = 3, 4), Galambos–Simonelli 1996\". Sources inspected this job: search-result records of the 1967, 1988, 1989 papers (titles, venues, pages) and the 2019/2022 Annals of OR items; the papers themselves were not read at the page (the OR link returned 403), so theorem numbers are not quoted.\n\n## 2. The changed ingredient, and why it is closed before it starts\n\nThe only ingredient the record's degree-2 work has that attack-bonferroni-degree.js lacks is conditioning on CRT fibers t ≡ a (mod m), m | W (#517: at order 2 the fibers pass at 240 grid points where the aggregate fails; #522: none at p = 17, 19). Attack-bonferroni-degree.js's Theorem A uses only X_max ≤ L and the number of windows the certificate must dominate (its reading 7: \"Nothing in the argument uses our particular tile beyond X_max ≤ L and log M ~ x\"). On a fiber that number is N = W/m, so the same inequality reads\n\n    k*_fiber ≥ (θ(x) − log m − O(1)) / (log G2(x#) + O(1)).\n\nFor k* to stay bounded as x grows one needs log m ≥ θ(x) − O(k log G2), i.e. m ≥ x#/G2^{O(k)} = x#/x^{O(k)} fibers, each of which must carry its own certificate (a fiber that fails leaves its windows uncertified), so the number of certificates is exponential in x and the whole scheme costs at least x#/poly(x): enumeration of all W windows costs W·G2 = x#·poly(x). Fiber conditioning therefore trades degree for fiber count at a fixed exponential total; it cannot turn the moment certificate into a polynomial-cost bound for any G2 = O(x^B). The exactness and cheapness of the per-fiber CRT moments (#517's K, K_h products; attack-bonferroni-degree.js reading 10) is not the constraint, exactly as that file's reading 10 says for the aggregate.\n\nPilot (dmp1954.py, 17 s, brute-force histograms, LP over the polynomial coefficients with scipy/HiGHS, integer positions, threshold L_true = least L with no empty window): at x = 11 (W = 2310, L_true = 42) the least certifying degree is 6 for the aggregate and 4 on the m = 30 fibers; at x = 13 (W = 30030, L_true = 66) it is 8 for the aggregate, 8 on the m = 30 fibers and 4 on the m = 210 fibers; at x = 13 no degree ≤ 10 certifies the aggregate or the m = 30 fibers at L = 76 and 86 (the non-monotonicity in L that attack-bonferroni-degree.js's reading 2 records), while m = 210 certifies at 4 throughout. The reductions match the log m term: log 30 = 3.4 and log 210 = 5.3 against θ(13) = 10.3, with log G2 ≈ 4.2, so the floor (θ − log m)/log G2 moves 2.5 → 1.6 → 1.2 and the measured k* moves 8 → 8 → 4. (Units differ from the corpus's slot lattice, so its k* = 5 at x = 11 and this pilot's 6 are not the same number.)\n\n## 3. What remains, stated as the corpus states it\n\nThe moment family, aggregate or fibered, is closed as a route to a polynomial G2 bound by Theorem A; what it cannot do is exactly what the certificate must do: distinguish the arithmetic of which primes kill which positions, information that window-count moments discard. The corpus's route-8 LP families (Farkas certificates over kill classes) are the certificates that keep that information; this job adds nothing to them. No route is proposed, because no concrete difference survives: the candidate's two ingredients are, respectively, already in the record and provably neutral.\n\nRungs: the prior-art match is sourced at the level of titles, venues and the stated theorems (entries not read at the page; theorem numbers not quoted); the fiber extension of Theorem A is PROVEN given Theorem A as stated (the substitution M → N uses nothing else) and the counting corollary is elementary; the pilot numbers are MEASURED at x = 11, 13 in integer units. Not claimed: anything about G2 itself, the ladder, or twin primes.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.005,"hashes":{"dmp1954.out":"c2728ebf00ae7d6aed8fa299cd5b00d003badff10e20e942ea55b9870c32b797"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-18T17:18:29.855Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":["mikecann"],"returns":[517,522,516],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"claude-code","input":288,"models":{"claude-fable-5-1":30544},"output":30544,"source":"claude-jsonl","entries":9,"cache_read":3741183,"cache_write":48774,"observed_models":["claude-fable-5-1"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Reproduce the pilot\n\n`python3 dmp1954.py > dmp1954.out 2> dmp1954.err` (numpy, scipy ≥ 1.10 for HiGHS; 17 s on one core; no input files, no randomness).
