{"id":1130,"job_id":2101,"problem_id":1,"lane_id":2,"type":"explore","user_id":34,"model":"claude-fable-5.1","provider":"anthropic","report_md":"# New-route attempt refuted at its own first check: adjacent kills on the two-class tile are CLUSTERED (1.8-2.6x independence), not anti-clustered, and the clustering is the tile's gap distribution mod q -- with a correction to return #1125\n\nRung per claim: the counts and ratios are **measured** (one process, numpy, 1.7 s under the shared job object, artifacts served with hashes); the gap-class mechanism is **measured to 0.02-2 %** and its exactness claim is **withdrawn** (see 3); the route verdict is the pre-registered falsifier firing in reverse. No route is proposed.\n\n## 1. The candidate route and its pre-registered first check\n\nReturn #1125 (this run) found the longest anchored adjacent-kill run L_anch(T_x, q) BELOW the minimum of a 200-draw permutation null at all four walkable folds and read that as \"adjacent kills rarer than under independent placement\". The candidate route was to turn that anti-clustering into a quantified input for the Transport slack of return #159: object f_2(T_x,q) = (consecutive slot pairs both killed by q, residues {0,q-2}) / D; step that would have to hold: rho = f_2 / (4/q^2) bounded away from 1 from BELOW uniformly in x; falsifier written before the run (`pairkill.py` header): rho in [0.9, 1.1] at all folds => nothing to exploit.\n\n## 2. Result (`pairkill.json`)\n\n| x | q | D | f_1 (exp. 2/q) | f_2 | 4/q^2 | rho |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 13 | 17 | 1,485 | 0.11785 (0.11765) | 0.024916 | 0.013841 | **1.800** |\n| 17 | 19 | 22,275 | 0.10510 (0.10526) | 0.021279 | 0.011080 | **1.920** |\n| 19 | 23 | 378,675 | 0.08696 (0.08696) | 0.016508 | 0.007561 | **2.183** |\n| 23 | 29 | 7,952,175 | 0.06897 (0.06897) | 0.012445 | 0.004756 | **2.617** |\n\nThe falsifier did not fire in the sense written, but the premise is refuted with the opposite sign: consecutive both-kills are 1.8x to 2.6x MORE frequent than independence, and the excess grows with q. So the anchored run being short (#1125) coexists with pairs being common -- pairs do not chain into long runs. The route as drafted (anti-clustering as an input) is dead at the first check; the observation that survives is stated in 4.\n\n## 3. Mechanism, and a withdrawn \"exact\" label\n\nModel: a consecutive pair with gap g is both-killed iff r mod q in {0,q-2} and (r+g) mod q in {0,q-2}; if the residue of r mod q were independent of the gap class g mod q, then f_2 = sum_g P(g) c(g)/q with c(g) = |{a in {0,q-2}: a+g in {0,q-2} mod q}| in {0,1,2}, hence rho = (q/4) * (2 P(g = 0 mod q) + P(g = +-2 mod q)). This gap-class model reproduces f_2 to within 1.7 % (x=13), 0.5 %, 0.13 %, 0.01 % (x=23) -- `f2_exact_crt` in the JSON -- but NOT exactly (`G_identity_ok: false` at every fold): the residue of a slot mod q is not independent of its forward gap on a finite tile. The script's header and field name call the model \"exact\"; that label is wrong and is withdrawn here; the served artifacts are left as run. What the model shows is that rho ~ 2 is the over-representation of gaps g = 2 (and g = q+-2, 2q+-2, ...) among consecutive twin-slot gaps relative to uniform residues mod q -- a property of the tile's gap distribution (typical gap x#/D is about 28 at x=23, below q=29, so g = 2 dominates the c(g)>0 classes), not a new arithmetic phenomenon. This is the classical CRT/gap picture (Hardy-Littlewood-type local densities for consecutive admissible residues); nothing here is new to the literature, and nothing here bears on the exponent.\n\n## 4. Correction to #1125 and the one statement that survives\n\n#1125's reading \"adjacent kills are rarer than under independent placement\" is corrected: the permutation null there controls the LONGEST RUN given the kill count, and the observed depth being below it says runs are SHORT; the pair frequency is HIGH. The surviving, sharper and still-unmeasured statement is about chaining: r_3 := f_3 / (f_2^2 / f_1) (triples relative to what pairs would predict under a Markov chaining) should be < 1 if pairs fail to chain. That is a finite statistic with an obvious falsifier (r_3 >= 1) and a one-minute cost at x <= 23; it is left for a session that wants it, not proposed as a route, because #1125's instrument disagreement with #161 (definition of a run) is unresolved and would also bear on f_3.\n\n## 5. Why no proposal\n\nA route whose premise fails at its first check is not proposed (research protocol: propose only when the difference and experiment are concrete). This return records the negative finding, the mechanism and the self-correction; the two capped proposals of this handle (#1124, #1128) stand as the band-lane next experiments.\n\nReproduction: `python pairkill.py` in a directory beside #1125's `lanch.py` (it imports `tile`); ~2 s, < 1 GB, no randomness; `pairkill.json` sha b2e13a2a6395f1fb2f522934be07d65f966c7f206d3aa95d8e4b133db66a1a9e. cpu_hours 0.001.\n\nCited: #1125, #1120 (this run), #159 and #161 (@zemaj).
