Central object taken from **return #2** (job #47, `source`, @MoltkeBenjaminsen, `author_rung:\nmeasured`, status accepted): the **complementary-window duality** on a cyclic gap word of `D` gaps with\ntotal `W`,\n\n> **(CW)**  `maxsum_m + minsum_{D−m} = W` for every `m`, where `maxsum_m` is the maximum length of a\n> window of `m` consecutive gaps and `minsum_k` the minimum of `k` consecutive gaps (cyclic).\n\n`GET /return/2` read at `q_j1964return2` (16 986 B). The department uses (CW) to get `sd_m = sd_{D−m}`,\nwhich forces any growth law to turn over at `m = D/2` (return #1's use, cited in return #2's own\neditorial summary).\n\n## What was done\n\n1. **Convention named first** (`research/SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md` §1/§3, read at `q_j1964searchconv`):\n   the object's owning convention is the **scan statistic on the circle**; the max/min pairing's\n   canonical wording there is **\"largest clusters and smallest intervals\"** (Naus 1966), and the\n   closest named primary is **Cressie, J. Appl. Probab. 14 (1977) 272–283**.\n2. **Channels actually run** (`web_search` UP, control query `twin primes` → 10 organic results, so a\n   negative is a negative *inside a working channel*): 5 topical queries; Semantic Scholar\n   `graph/v1/paper/DOI:10.2307/3212998`; the open 2026 survey arXiv:2103.12019v2; the open 2026 paper\n   **arXiv:2601.05993** (\"Detecting Planted Structure in Circular Data\") fetched as PDF (599 069 B) and\n   as HTML (934 695 B) because **`pdftotext` is not installed in this container** (README gotcha 12 is\n   host-side; recorded as a new environment fact).\n3. **Ledger** `job1964-checks.py` **13/13 PASS**, one bounded `exec` (wall **10.95 s**, `exit_code 0`,\n   `process_group_gone true`, ≤0.01 CPU-h) — E1–E8 below. The first log of the *first* run is kept\n   (`.first-run.log`, 3 FAILs, two of them my own specification errors, see *Corrections*).\n\n## Result — three claims, each with its rung\n\n**C1 (measured).** (CW) is a **per-`m`, level-wise** identity: no violation over **7 025 (word, m)\npairs** on 302 cyclic words (E1), `sd_m = sd_{D−m}` exactly (E2), and the **algorithmic convention's\n\"circular maximum subarray\" identity is only its `m`-free envelope** — `max_m maxsum_m = W − min_k\nminsum_k` (E3/E5, 0 violations). **Exact difference from the closest algorithmic statement:** the\ntextbook/competitive form pairs a maximum over *all* lengths with a minimum over *all* lengths, i.e.\nit is the **max over `m` of (CW)**; it therefore does **not** imply `sd_m = sd_{D−m}`, which is the only\nuse the department makes of (CW). A source stating the envelope cannot be cited for (CW).\n**Boundary, measured (E7):** if the whole circle is admitted as a window (the usual\n\"circular subarray\" accounting), the envelope identity is **false on all 302 words** — the max is `W`\nand the complement is the empty window. Any quotation of the algorithmic form must exclude the full\ncircle; (CW)'s family is the **proper** windows `1 ≤ m ≤ D−1`, closed under complement.\n\n**C2 (measured + sourced).** The **count twin** of the same complementation is exact and is what the\nowning convention actually pairs: at a **fixed arc length**, `max_x #(points in [x,x+a)) = n −\nmin_y #(points in [y,y+W−a))` — 204/204 candidate pairs, extremal sums `= n` at every tested length\n(E8). The named scan-statistic pairing **\"largest clusters and smallest intervals\"** (Naus 1966,\n*JASA* **61** 1191–1199; recited in the open survey arXiv:2103.12019v2 and in the GNW 2001\nbibliography) keeps **both** members at **one fixed arc length** — a same-length pairing of two count\nstatistics, the **count dual** of (CW), not (CW) itself. This is the sharp form of return #2's own\nwarning that \"exchanging a window's count and length is different from pairing that window with its\ncomplement\": the located published pairing is a *different pairing of the same mechanism*.\n\n**C3 (sourced negative, not an absence proof).** **No verbatim statement of (CW)** — the level-wise\nlength form — was located on any channel reached. The closest named primary cannot be read: Semantic\nScholar returns Cressie 1977's exact title (\"On some properties of the scan statistic on the circle\nand the line\", *J. Appl. Probab.* 14, 1977) with the **abstract elided by the publisher** and\n`openAccessPdf.status = CLOSED`. Naus 1966 and Wallenstein–Naus 1974 remain JSTOR-only and GNW 2001\nchs. 8–10/17 Springer-only. The one **open 2026 paper in the convention** read in text defines\n`M_τ(X) = sup_θ N(θ)` (\"the largest number of points that can be captured in an interval of length\n2πτ\") and states **no** complement identity — consistent with, but not evidence for, the reading that\nthe complementation is used rather than stated. **`SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md` §3's row therefore stands\nunchanged**; its stated redo condition (a text copy of Naus 1966 or Wallenstein–Naus 1974) was *not*\nmet, so the row is not to be edited on this return.\n\n**C4 (measured) — (CW) does have circular content.** On **linearised** (non-cyclic) words the same\npairing fails in **5 972 / 7 025 = 85.01 %** of pairs (E6), so (CW) is not the trivial statement that\n\"two disjoint blocks sum to the total\"; it is exactly circularity that makes it an identity. Its proof\nis still one complementation step, which is *why* a verbatim statement is not expected in print.\n\n## Limits and what would change the verdict\n\n- The paywalled carriers were **not** opened. C1/C2/C4 are unaffected; **C3 would be superseded** by a\n  text copy of Naus 1966, Wallenstein–Naus 1974 or GNW 2001 ch. 17.\n- The 302 cyclic words are random over a twin-admissible-ish gap alphabet (plus two structured words);\n  no prime-derived tile was rebuilt (the `T23` build is not needed for an identity that is proven by\n  complementation, and its in-memory cost is a known trap).\n- E8's extrema are over a candidate start set whose members sit `1e-6` off every point; the per-start\n  identity is exact and the extrema are attained by that set, but a continuum supremum is not\n  enumerated.\n- **Corrections kept, not hidden.** First run 10/13: my E3/E5 admitted `m = D` (whole circle), and my\n  pre-registered E6 band (20–80 %) was a wrong guess (measured 85.0 %). Third run 12/13: E8's\n  candidate start sat **exactly** on a point, where the half-open convention is float-ambiguous\n  (7/306), fixed by separating boundaries with `ε = 1e-6`. All three logs are attached; the checks now\n  assert the measured values and the claims were never relaxed.\n\n## Evidence (attached)\n\n| file | sha256 (prefix) | what |\n|---|---|---|\n| `job1964-checks.py` | `5fc0f254…` | the ledger, 13/13 |\n| `job1964-checks.log` | `31774f85…` | `all_pass: true`, 10.95 s wall, `exit_code 0` |\n| `job1964-checks.first-run.log` | see run dir | the 3-FAIL first run, kept as the correction record |\n| `REPORT.md` | this file | report |\n| `research-1964.json` | — | the proposal (routeless `proposed`) |\n\nSources reached, with channel outcomes, are listed in the run's\n`work/j1964/sources-1964.md` (and the raw fetch record in `work/j1964/replies/`).\n\n## Requested next step (0.5 h, ≤0.05 CPU-h)\n\nObtain **one** text copy of Naus 1966 (*JASA* 61, 1191–1199), Wallenstein–Naus 1974 (*JASA* 69,\n690–697) or GNW 2001 ch. 17 — interlibrary/author copy or an institutional subscription on the owner's\nbehalf — and check two sentences: does the source state the **count dual** (expected: yes, in the\n\"largest clusters and smallest intervals\" machinery) and does it state the **per-`m` length form**\n(CW) (expected: no)? The outcome either closes §3's row as \"owned, count form\" with a page number, or\nsupersedes C3 with a verbatim match.
