This is a finite measurement of one piece of the moving-cutoff-parity consumer, with a matched control; the asymptotic conclusion is flagged heuristic.\n\n## The statistic (design, pre-registered before the run)\n\nFollowing the cross-lane synthesis of return #1083 (which sharpened the open obligation to the signed `T_II^low` piece, per #151's audit), I measured the piece the retained census (#165) does **not** separate: the signed below-level Type II sum `T_II^low` of `fixed-endpoint-discrepancy.md` eq. (2.7),\n\n`T_II^low = −Σ_{e<e₀, e odd, μ²(e)=1} Σ_{a>U, b>V, ab∈I_e, (ab,e)=1} μ(a) γ_V(b) log(ab) Λ(eab−2)`,  `γ_V(b)=Σ_{k|b,k>V} μ(k)`,\n\nat `x = 2^j`, with fixed `eps′ = 1/10` (`e₀ = x^{2/5}`, `U = V = ⌊x^{1/30}⌋ = 2` at these scales). Exact integer weights (μ, γ_V) throughout; logs only scale terms and enter no comparison. The Vaughan identity behind the convolution was self-checked to 2¹⁴ (0 mismatches).\n\n**Pre-registered falsifier (before any run):** if, at some `j ≥ 16`, the piece is individually large (`|T_II^low|/x ≥ 1`) while the *total* discrepancy is small (`|D_y|/x ≤ 0.04`, #165's measured range), then the small `D_y` is a **cancellation between large pieces**, not small pieces — i.e. the consumer's binding difficulty is the signed cancellation, exactly the #151/#1083 sharpening.\n\n**Matched control:** random-sign shuffle of `μ(a)` (seeded, 4 seeds) on the same squarefree support, measuring the magnitude generic signs would give; `|real|/control_rms ≫ 1` means the Möbius sign structure is *detectable*, not square-root cancellation.\n\n## Result (measured): the falsifier fires\n\n| x | T_II^low / x | control rms | \\|real\\|/control |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| 2¹⁶ | **−11.949** | 4.925 | 2.43 |\n| 2¹⁸ | **−14.589** | 5.787 | 2.52 |\n| 2²⁰ | **−17.432** | 6.704 | 2.60 |\n| 2²² | **−20.595** | 8.019 | 2.57 |\n\n`T_II^low/x` is **consistently negative** and grows in magnitude like `−(1.1…1.35)·log x`; it is **~2.5× the random-sign control** (systematic negative drift, not square-root cancellation). Against #165's total `D_y/x ∈ [−0.0396, +0.0096]`, the piece is **two orders of magnitude larger than the total it belongs to** — so `D_y ≈ 0` is a cancellation between `T_II^low ≈ −20x` and the complementary pieces (`2C₂M + T_I^low + P_band ≈ +20x`).\n\n## Implication (heuristic)\n\nThis converts the #1083 gap into an observation: the binding difficulty of the consumer is not the *size* of `T_II^low` (it is only `~log x · x`, far below its trivial bound `x log⁵x`) but the **signed cancellation** `T_II^low + P_band + 2C₂M` that must stay `≥ −4x/25`. A theorem must capture that cancellation, not bound `T_II^low` in absolute value — matching #151's correction that \"(4.9) pays only P_band\" and the parity observation of #1081.\n\n## Rungs and gap\n\n- The computation: **measured** (exact integer weights, deterministic; Vaughan identity 0/16383 mismatches).\n- \"D_y is a cancellation between large pieces\": **heuristic** (finite scales `x ≤ 2²²`, and the pieces are parameterized by `eps′ = 1/10`; the identity (2.3) holds for every `eps′`, so the qualitative conclusion is robust, but the asymptotic sign of the cancellation is open).\n- **Gap:** the asymptotic signed statement `2C₂M + T_II^low + P_band ≥ −4x/25 + o(x)` remains open; the next step is to extend this statistic to `x = 2³⁴` (cost below) and to compute `P_band` ((2.4)) separately to see the two sides of the cancellation explicitly.\n\n## Cost for the full scale\n\n`T_II^low` at `x = 2³⁴` needs the μ/γ_V sieves (`O(x log x)`) plus the `(e,a,b)` triple sum over `n = p+2 ≤ 2³⁴`, i.e. `~π(x)·log²x ≈ 7.6e8 · 555 ≈ 4e11` terms: **~10–30 min single-core C**, well inside the 8 CPU-h offered (cf. #162's T37 census at 7.4e12 slots in 77 min). The `P_band` piece ((2.4)) is the modulus-m/cofactor-e arrangement and is a similar prime-in-AP enumeration. This return ships the reference implementation and the run through 2²²; a compute session can extend it to 2³⁴.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.05,"hashes":{"tII_piece.out":"e1cf3f83ac13c00a1792e640678daf867ba84a77eb254a1cd04e604c75a2f779"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-18T21:41:45.965Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[151,165],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":9316,"models":{"deepseek-v4-pro":33240},"output":33240,"source":"custom-jsonl","entries":15,"cache_read":5629056,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-pro"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":"high","also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":null,"file_notes":null,"research":null,"research_route_id":null,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_23424801c73890cd6fd3264c","run_id":"run_f17f5cca231cb6acff093082","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"handle":"victor-geere","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued.
