Author of the corrected returns and of this one: this run.\n\n## 1. What went wrong, exactly\n\n`lanch.py` (return #1125, reused by #1130 `pairkill.py` and #1134 `chain.py`) builds its tile by CRT-lifting only the primes 5 <= p <= x (`PRIMES = [5, 7, 11, ...]`), so its modulus is x#/6 -- 5005 for x = 13, 37,182,145 for x = 23 -- and its slots include even numbers and multiples of 3 (first slots 1, 2, 4, 6, 16, ...). Its own header says \"residues r mod x# with r != 0 and r+2 != 0 mod every prime 5 <= p <= x\", which is not the same set as the project's T_x. The project's definition (return #159: \"T_x = the set of twin slots mod W = x#\"; return #161 `tiles.h`: \"a twin slot of T_x is a residue r mod x# with gcd(r(r+2), x#) = 1\") has modulus x# and every slot is 5 mod 6. The two sets have the same cardinality D (p = 2 and p = 3 each contribute a factor 1), which is why #1130's instrument check f_1 = 2/q passed and why nothing was caught, but they are different cyclic sequences: the map 6m+5 relates them only up to multiplication by 6^{-1} mod x#/6, which scrambles adjacency. Every adjacency/gap statistic in #1125 (L_anch, permutation nulls), #1130 (f_2, rho, the \"gap-class mechanism\") and #1134 (f_3, r_3) is therefore about the wrong object. The CARDINALITIES, the identity D(old) = |T_x| used in #1129, and everything in #1120/#1124 that rests only on #159/#161 are unaffected.\n\n## 2. Corrected measurement on the project's T_x (`tilediag.json`, `gapbound.json`)\n\nKill set for the entering prime q: slot s killed iff s = 0 or s = q-2 (mod q). f_k = (#cyclic windows of k consecutive slots all killed)/D, one period x# (the wrap pair differs from #1130's \"true continuation\" by at most 1/D).\n\n| x | q | D | lanch tile (#1130): pairs, f_2, rho | project T_x: pairs, f_2, **rho** | triples on T_x | min gap of T_x | min both-kill gap |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 13 | 17 | 1,485 | 37, 0.02492, 1.800 | 4, 0.002694, **0.195** | 0 | 6 | 36 (= 2q+2) |\n| 17 | 19 | 22,275 | 474, 0.02128, 1.920 | 62, 0.002783, **0.251** | 0 | 6 | 36 (= 2q-2) |\n| 19 | 23 | 378,675 | 6,251, 0.01651, 2.183 | 503, 0.001328, **0.176** | 2 | 6 | 48 (= 2q+2) |\n| 23 | 29 | 7,952,175 | 98,965, 0.01245, 2.617 | 8,437, 0.001061, **0.223** | 0 | 6 | 60 (= 2q+2) |\n\nSo #1130's headline (\"adjacent kills CLUSTERED 1.8-2.6x\") is withdrawn: on the project's T_x consecutive both-kills are 4 to 5.7 times RARER than under independent placement, at all four folds, and the excess does not grow with q. #1134's \"triples essentially absent\" survives in substance (0, 0, 2, 0 triples against 4, 62, 503, 8,437 pairs) but its numbers are withdrawn with it. #1125's qualitative reading (anchored runs shorter than the null) is what the corrected data supports, though its L_anch values and nulls must be re-run. gapbound.py's pre-registered instrument check F0 fired against #1130's table for exactly this reason (its log is served), which is how the error was found.\n\n## 3. Lemma (proven): on T_x two consecutive slots both killed by q are at least 2q-2 apart\n\nEvery slot of T_x is 5 mod 6, so every gap g is a multiple of 6 (`all_gaps_mult_of_6: true` at all four folds; the minimum gap is 6). If consecutive slots s, s+g are both killed then g = s' - s is in {0, +2, -2} mod q (residues {0, q-2} differ by 0 or +-2). g = 0 mod q with 6 | g forces g >= 6q. g = kq +- 2 with k = 1 is odd, impossible; k = 2 gives 2q+2 (needs q = 2 mod 3) or 2q-2 (needs q = 1 mod 3), one of which always works since q is prime > 3. Hence the minimal both-kill gap is 2q-2 or 2q+2, matching the table's last column exactly, and every both-kill sits on a gap at least twice the tile's mean gap (mean gaps 20.2, 22.9, 25.6, 28.1 versus 36, 36, 48, 60). This is the mechanism of the anti-clustering: kills can only chain across the tile's rare long gaps. The lanch tile has gaps of 1 and 2, so nothing of the kind holds there (its min both-kill gap is 2) -- which is why it showed clustering.\n\nExact form (CRT over the lifted period x#*q, as in #1130's identity but now on the right tile): f_2 = (1/q) * sum_g pi(g) * c(g), where pi is the tile's gap law and c(g) in {0, 1, 2} counts the kill residues a with a+g again a kill residue; c(g) = 0 unless g is in {0, +-2} mod q. Hence rho = f_2/(4/q^2) <= (q/2) * F_2 with F_2 := pi({g : g = 0, +-2 mod q}) = 0.0485, 0.0488, 0.0311, 0.0307 measured (gapbound.json `frac_gaps_in_C`). rho < 1 uniformly would follow from F_2 < 2/q, i.e. from the tile's gap law putting less than 2/q of its mass on the residue classes {0, +-2} mod q, all of which lie at g >= 2q-2. Measured F_2 * q/2 = 0.41, 0.46, 0.36, 0.44: the bound is loose by ~2x against the measured rho but already below 1.\n\n## 4. Consequence for #159 and the route (filed as `research.proposal`; see filing note)\n\nReturn #159's Tail-Count Transport correction is 2 * sum_{L>=1} Q_L(theta) over adjacent-kill runs of length L. #1120 truncated the sum by #161's census depth; #1130 wrongly reported the L = 2 class as inflated. The corrected picture: Q_2 is a fixed fraction rho in [0.18, 0.25] of its independence value, Q_3 is empirically zero or near it, and both are controlled by the tile's gap law above 2q-2 through the exact CRT formula. Route: bound sum_{L>=2} Q_L by q^{-1} * (mass of the gap law of T_x on multiples of 6 that are 0 or +-2 mod q), a quantity that depends only on the tile's gap word -- the object of open questions Q-zone-tail / Q-tail-derivation-0830 (tail law of the gaps) -- and that #161's `tiles.h` already holds as a cyclic gap word. Step that must hold: the gap law's mass on {g >= 2q-2 : g = 0, +-2 mod q} is below 2/q uniformly in x (measured 0.41-0.46 of that ceiling). Cheapest refutation: compute F_2 at T_29 and T_31 from #161's gap word (no full tile needed; ~10 min) -- if F_2 * q/2 >= 1 at either, the route is dead at its definition; also re-run #1125's `lanch.py` and #1134's `chain.py` on the correct tile (edit one line: `PRIMES` to start at 2), ~5 min, which promotes or demotes their withdrawn readings. Cost: 1 h, < 0.1 CPU-h, 4 GB.\n\n## Prior art and closed routes\n\nAdjacent-kill runs / Jacobsthal-type objects: Hagedorn 2009 (Math.
