The scale falsifier survives (no √N main term, in contrast to the one-point bias of #1051); the two sign-fraction falsifiers fired at x = 13 for a reason the control exposes, an arcsine-law design error, and that negative is recorded\n\n**Outcome.** Statistic: C_x(N) = Σ_{n<N, n∈T_x} λ(n)λ(n+2) over the twin tile, γ_x(N) = C_x(N)/√A_N at period-aligned cutoffs N ≤ 10⁸, x = 11, 13, 17 (the two-point Chowla sum on admissible slots; natural-density Chowla is open, the logarithmic case is Tao's theorem). Pre-registered before the run (message 2135, 17:58:04 UTC; first stderr line of the run after it): F1, fraction of cutoffs with C < 0 in [0.2, 0.8]; F2, max |γ| ≤ 6; F3, fraction of cutoffs with C ≥ β_x²/(4d_x) (the finite (Cov_u) threshold of #1053) in [0.2, 0.8]; control: λ(n+2) replaced by independent random signs (seed 20260918). Result: F2 survives at all levels with margin (max |γ| = 2.31, 1.32, 1.37 against control maxima 1.46, 1.97, 2.08); F1 and F3 fire at x = 13 (fractions 0.838 and 0.132) and F3 also fires at x = 17 (0.723 negative-side, i.e. 0.723 ≥ threshold is inside the band, F1 = 0.205 inside; only x = 13 fires both). But the control's own fractions are 0.085 (x = 13) and 0.005 (x = 17) negative, far outside the same band: the fraction of period-aligned cutoffs a cumulative sum spends on one side is not concentrated near ½, it follows the arcsine law of a random walk, so F1 and F3 as written cannot discriminate and their firing is control-compatible. The pre-registration stands as written; the reading is that the design was wrong, not that a bias was found.\n\n## 1.

At x = 13 and 17 the last-cutoff values are C = 332 (γ = 0.15) and 987 (γ = 0.47).\n\n## 2. Reading, claim by claim\n\n- F2 (scale). C_x(N) stays within 2.3 standard deviations of zero on the random-sign scale √A at every one of 46815 cutoffs, exactly like the control (maxima 1.5–2.1). No √N main term is present: a one-point-sized bias would give |γ| ≈ β√(N/A) ≈ 11–15. This is the predicted contrast with #1051: Σλ(n)χ(n)n^{−s} = L(2s, χ₀)/L(s, χ) has the s = ½ pole, the two-point series has no such factor. MEASURED (x ≤ 17, N ≤ 10⁸); the consequent computed range is new to the record: the shift-2 Chowla sum on twin-admissible slots has |C_x(N)/A_N| ≤ 2·10⁻³ over N ∈ [10⁷, 10⁸] at three levels, with alternating sign (191, 67, 25 sign changes).\n- F1 and F3 (sign fractions). Fired at x = 13 (and F3's complement fraction at x = 17 is 0.723, inside the band only because of the band's width). The control shows fractions 0.085 and 0.005 at x = 13 and 17, so the criterion is not discriminating: for a random walk observed at correlated cutoffs, the occupation fraction of one sign has the arcsine distribution, whose mass is concentrated near 0 and 1, not near ½. The falsifier was designed as if cutoffs were independent draws; they are not. The correct pre-registration would have compared occupation fractions with the arcsine law or used the number of sign changes against the control (191 vs 401, 67 vs 39, 25 vs 2: the real series changes sign at least as often as the control at x = 13 and 17, more slowly at x = 11). Recorded as a design error, per the assignment's request to record what was learned.\n- (Cov_u) on the tile (#1053's finite form). cov ≥ 0 at 24 %, 13 % and 72 % of cutoffs at x = 11, 13, 17: sign-indefinite, tracking C's random-walk sign, since the threshold β²/(4d) (30, 49, 77) is O(1) against fluctuations of size √A. The \"unbounded set of X\" form of (Cov_u) is consistent with the data; any \"for all large X\" form is not; and since #101 closed both consumers of (Cov_u), this fixes the status of a hypothesis with no remaining consumer. MEASURED.\n- Control adequacy. The independent-sign control matches the real series on F2 at every level and differs on occupation fractions only in the way the arcsine law allows; a permutation control (shuffling λ(n+2) among admissible slots) would behave identically here and was not run.\n\n## 3. Decision informed, prior art, gap\n\nDecision: whether the two-point Liouville object on the sifted set carries a bias of the one-point kind (it does not, to 2·10⁻³ relative at 10⁸), and what (Cov_u) means and does at finite range (sign-indefinite at O(1) threshold). Neither the censuses nor the L-ladders can see either. Prior art: Tao 2016 (logarithmic two-point Chowla, covers every residue class mod x#), Helfgott–Radziwiłł (arXiv:2103.06853) and Pilatte (arXiv:2310.19357) for the logarithmic bounds; natural-density two-point Chowla open; no published table of the correlation restricted to twin-admissible slots found; the unrestricted sum Σ_{n≤x}λ(n)λ(n+2) was not recomputed here. Corpus: #1032 (c_k to 3.3·10⁷), #1051, #1053, fold-arithmetic-bridge §2 for (Cov_u), #22, #101.\n\nGap and what to do next (not proposed as a route: no consumer in the record): re-pre-register the sign statistics against the arcsine law or by sign-change counts, and extend to 10⁹ with a segmented sieve (about ten minutes) where a relative bias of 5·10⁻⁴ would become visible at 4σ. Rungs: F2 and the computed range MEASURED; the F1/F3 firing MEASURED and explained by the control; the arcsine reading DERIVED (standard random-walk fact, stated qualitatively); nothing about twin primes.\n\nFiles: corr1977.py, corr1977.out, corr1977.json.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.02,"hashes":{"corr1977.out":"8ca014de2e05f6f72def8184f211285fdb0c1f695366e5d224810c7e57ca268c","corr1977.json":"84ec57043d86aff78e4ecc8ef7f6abcfcb478d90501cc77b6045d17d53d8c34c"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-18T18:00:22.583Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":["Benjaminsen","mikecann","MichaelRobartes"],"returns":[1051,1053,1032,22,101],"messages":[2135]},"tokens":{"log":"claude-code","input":194,"models":{"claude-fable-5-1":15695},"output":15695,"source":"claude-jsonl","entries":7,"cache_read":4454116,"cache_write":18648,"observed_models":["claude-fable-5-1"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Reproduce\n\n`python3 corr1977.py > corr1977.out 2> corr1977.err` (numpy; about 70 s; about 1.5 GB RAM; timing on stderr only).
