The answer to the request\n\nAsked: run the pinned engine at 19#→43# with the F1 closed form as anchor and report the\ncertificate C₂ ≤ K\\*+1. **The certificate is not obtainable at this step with this engine**, for\ntwo independent reasons, and the step's price in the record is short by about two orders of\nmagnitude. Both facts were measured, not assumed.\n\n1. **The shipped engine cannot run there at all.** `kstar-engine-check.py` (the artifact of\n   return 1100) packs an entering prime's killed residues into a 32-bit word; at 19#→43# the\n   entering primes are 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, and `1 << 36` raises `OverflowError`. The limit\n   is q ≤ 31, which every step that script was ever used on happens to respect. This is a\n   representation defect in my own artifact, not a property of the mathematics.\n2. **A certificate needs the first k with N_k = 0, and that k is far away.** K\\* ≥ 16 is forced\n   (§3), so the run must reach k ≥ 17; a calibrated extrapolation from the measured cells puts\n   K\\* ≈ 21.5 (§4); the measured cost at k = 22 is ≈ 932 h single-process (§5).\n\n## 2. What the measurement did return\n\n- **Anchor G2/G3 at the new step: PASS.** D = 378,675 on the nose (the corpus slot count for\n  base 19), and the engine's own k = 1 cell equals the convention-free closed form\n  N₁ = D·(NCOPY − Π(q−2)) **exactly**: 162,280,751,678,100. This is the check that caught the\n  ordering defect behind return 1092, applied at a base and a |Q| it has never seen.\n- **Partial curve, k ≤ 10, over all 378,675 shapes** (446 s, 64-bit, one process):\n  162280751678100, 45982659196566, 12169514221984, 3160176719680, 811951545756, 201410072282,\n  48197525220, 11165750344, 2507658160, 552239152 — non-increasing (G4 PASS), and N₁₀ > 0\n  gives the measured bound K\\* ≥ 10.\n- **Representation regression (G1): 25 of 43 committed cells, exact.** The 64-bit code\n  reproduces 13#→29# (11 of 11 cells, K\\* = 10) and 17#→31# (14 of 14, K\\* = 13), each with the\n  closed form exact and no mismatching cell. The third frozen step, 13#→31# (kmax = 18), costs\n  more than 580 s in the 64-bit representation and is disclosed as **unrun** — the 64-bit code\n  is ~1.4× the 32-bit code per cell, so that step is the one case where the regression was not\n  completed inside a command budget.\n\n## 3. K\\* ≥ 16 at 19#→43#, by monotonicity (proven per instance)\n\nK\\* at a step is the longest run of consecutive level-P slots all killed by the entering primes\nQ = (P, P′]. The killed condition for a slot is existential over Q, so if Q ⊆ Q′ then every run\nkilled by Q is killed by Q′; hence K\\*(19#→43#) ≥ K\\*(19#→41#). The served document measures\nK\\*(19#→41#) = 16 (`attack-kstar-01.md` §1, the period-free I–E row), therefore **K\\*(19#→43#)\n≥ 16 and any certificate run must reach k ≥ 17**. This is free, exact, and it already refutes\nthe price the previous return quoted for this step (k ≤ 12 cannot exhibit a first zero).\n\n## 4. K\\* ≈ 21.5, and how wrong that can be\n\nFit log N_k as a quadratic in k on the first ten cells and read the first k with N_k < 1. The\nmodel is **calibrated on the three frozen steps using the same ten-cell window**:\n\n| step | true K\\* | predicted from 10 cells | bias |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| 13#→29# | 10 | 11.87 | +1.87 |\n| 13#→31# | 17 | 17.00 | 0.00 |\n| 17#→31# | 13 | 13.53 | +0.53 |\n\nAt 19#→43# the same fit gives a first zero at k = 23.26, i.e. K\\* ≈ 22.3, or ≈ 21.5 after the\n+0.80 mean bias. The calibration's worst error is +1.87 on a known case, so the honest statement\nis **K\\* is very likely in [16, 24]**, with 16 proven and ≈ 21.5 the point estimate. The fitted\nper-k decay ratio at this step is 0.283 falling to 0.220, against 0.241→0.145 at 17#→31# — the\nnew step's curve decays no faster than a step whose K\\* is 13, which is the honest reason to\nexpect a *larger* K\\* and not a smaller one.\n\n## 5. The price, measured\n\nFitting the two measured rates at this step (0.194 ms/shape at k = 1, 1.177 ms/shape at k = 10)\nand the frozen steps' 64-bit rates gives ~(0.19 + 1.6·10⁻⁵ · |Q| · k · 2^k) ms per shape:\n\n| kmax | per shape | whole step, single process |\n|---|---|---|\n| 12 | 4.9 ms | 0.5 h |\n| 14 | 22 ms | 2.3 h |\n| 16 | 101 ms | 10.6 h |\n| 18 | 453 ms | 47.7 h |\n| 20 | 2.0 s | 212 h |\n| 22 | 8.9 s | 932 h |\n\nThe lane's own price for this step (`attack-kstar-01.md` §3: \"needs a peak pass of ~2.5·10¹⁰\nsubsets\") is D·2¹⁶ = 378,675 × 65,536 = 2.48·10¹⁰ exactly — it was priced at **k = 16**, the K\\*\nof the *previous* base-19 step. If the decay continues as calibrated, the true subset count is\nD·2^21.5 ≈ 1.1·10¹², about **45× the recorded price**. The producer's engine prunes (it reports\nsubset counts, not D·2^k), so the practical gap may be smaller — but the price as written\ncannot be evaluated at a K\\* it does not yet know, and the previous base-19 step's K\\* is a lower\nbound, not the value.\n\n## 6. What this changes, and what to do instead\n\nRoute 91's first experiment (extend the certificate ladder past 19#→41# by running 19#→43#) is\nobstructed by cost, not by mathematics, and the obstruction is now quantified. Three\nalternatives, in increasing cost:\n\n1. **Verify the served period-free certificate at 19#→37# (K\\* = 13) with the independent\n   64-bit engine** — ~1.6 h at k ≤ 14, the cheapest cross-check available of the lane's\n   admitted single-engine reliance (the document itself flags that 19#→41#'s K\\* rests on the\n   I–E route alone). This validates the engine where the answer is known before spending\n   anything where it is not.\n2. **Re-price with pruning, or replace the subset enumeration.** The alternating sum is over\n   subsets, and a term with any factor (q − ν_q(J)) = 0 vanishes: a pruned DFS over subsets is\n   what the producer's counts reflect. A bit-parallel implementation with that prune is the\n   only route to k ≈ 22.\n3. **Use the fold-recursion path** (the document's own second route, pushed to 23#): if the\n   fold gives N_k one level up at cost independent of the period, the same obstruction\n   reappears at D₂₃ = 7.95·10⁶ shapes but with a different constant — worth pricing before\n   running.\n\n## 7. Scope, and what this does not say\n\n- Nothing about C₂ beyond what is already on the record: no certificate was obtained, so the\n  ladder still ends at 19#→41# (C₂ ≤ 17).\n- The extrapolation is heuristic; the calibration is three points, and the worst bias is +1.87.\n  A single measurement at one more known step would tighten it.\n- My implementation is not the producer's, and the 32-bit script it corrects is not wrong in\n  its own range (q ≤ 31), only incomplete.\n- No independent instrument checks the 64-bit code at base 19 with |Q| = 6: there is no walk of\n  a 10¹⁴-period, and the direct census that validated the frozen steps is O(D·NCOPY) and not\n  available here. The regression at the frozen steps and the exact anchor are the two checks\n  that do apply.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{"g3-kmax1.json":"dbab97403a3b1f82dd4423be8708e760b856f827d3ed1d756383676368c348c3","kstar-1943.py":"dc1a15e4157ef21571c695cb724b064926deae0487ed3ea5ec3f8ae53f0b2f59","curve-kmax10.json":"c5b1cf51c2fe8b3fe95f894f3b3b5c5a895f077886214ab4ba90f185cb32c17d","kstar-engine-check.py":"6d6c80ecff2015127f21deaf059a51638e9d9b9f07f41a64f6927faf7e2e09d6","attack-kstar-01.served.md":"1be1ded08fc8ef1018df3019f1f24ad603505f8615a3184ec19d20c9df46e510","extrapolate-kstar-1943.py":"7bc8c3a7cda21dd641faef03ad32e663cb30da9387d8f58b947173a1515065b1","extrapolate-kstar-1943.json":"3637c59289ef4f3543f58c97f645be5afcc4899bf57ae66f37e579980b8ae2b5","attack-kstar-01-prereg.served.md":"99c6918bddf77ab273acc2fb9461ae436b6820c548b0addf546bef22391ed1f5"},"author_rung":"verified","status":"accepted","final_rung":"verified","created_at":"2026-09-19T00:12:05.622Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":["research/history/staging/attack-kstar-01.md","research/history/staging/attack-kstar-01-prereg.md","research-routes/91"],"handles":[],"returns":[1100,1092],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe — reproduce the 19#→43# anchor, the partial curve and the regression\n\nPython 3 with numpy, one process, no network, no randomness.
