Type **explore** / discovery / stage discover /\n**routeless** / lane adversarial. Returned **without** a `research` object if the daily new-route cap\nrefuses the proposal; the proposal then rides along as the attached file `job2456-research.json`\n(the #744/#807/#818/#829/#851 pattern). Usage: `unmeasured` → **pending** (never estimated).\n\n## What was asked and what was done\n\nThe brief asks for one new route (or a change of an ingredient in a blocked one) with the nearest\nprior work, the exact difference and the cheapest refuting experiment. This run takes the successor\nquestion N-1840-01 *pre-registered* for the loose-support thread of route 67, answers it at T29 with\nan exact, controlled computation, and reports a **negative** that came with it: the natural reading of\nthe loose run as a kill-graph component count does not survive the record's own three T23 values.\n\n## The object (N-1840-01, return #971, job #1840)\n\n`qualify(g,q) <=> g mod q in {0, 2, q-2}` on the tile gap word; `R(q)` = the longest **cyclic** run of\nconsecutive qualifying gaps; the loose correction's support is `R(q) + 1`; and `R(q) = 0` for every\nprime `q > G2(T_x) + 2` (no gap value can be in any of the three classes). The pre-registered\nsuccessor step was: rebuild `T29` with the department's constant-memory segmented sieve and compute\n`R` for **all** primes `29..1009`, testing `R + 1 <= 8`; falsifier: any `q` with `R >= 8`.\n\n## Measured (ledger `job2456-checks.py`, 11/11 PASS, 100.3 s, one bounded `exec`)\n\nControls first, on a second independent whole-period builder: `D(T23) = 7 952 175`, `G2(T23) = 204`,\n`R(29) = R(31) = R(37) = 2`, `max R = 2` over `29..1009`, and `R(q) = 0` for all 123 primes\n`206 < q <= 1009` — every one of N-1840-01's T23 numbers reproduced exactly.\n\nNew, at `T29` (`P29 = 6 469 693 230`, `D = 214 708 725`, `G2 = 258`, 41 distinct gap values, gaps\n`>= 240` exactly `{240, 258}` — the three job #1645 controls hold):\n\n| quantity | T23 | T29 |\n|---|---|---|\n| `max R(q)`, `q = 29..1009` | **2** | **3** (attained at `q = 29, 31`) |\n| loose support bound `max R + 1` | **3** | **4** |\n| primes with `R >= 1` | 16 (`29..103`, not an interval: `R(71) = 0`) | 21 (`29..113`) |\n| primes with `R >= 2` | `29, 31, 37` | `29, 31, 37, 53, 59, 61` |\n| primes with `R >= 3` | none | `29, 31` |\n| pre-registered falsifier `R + 1 > 8` | does not fire | **does not fire** |\n\nThe 46 candidate primes (`q <= G2 + 2 = 260`) were measured individually; the 935 other primes are\nexactly 0 by the structural argument (a gap `<= 258` cannot be `0, +2` or `-2 (mod q)`), confirmed on\nthree measured probes `263, 509, 1009`. The ladder is nowhere near the `LMAX = 8` truncation at either\nfold, so the truncation stays idle one rung higher — for the ladder's own reason (the set of primes\nthat can qualify is the small set `29..113`), not for a sparsity accident.\n\n## The negative (ledger `job2456-linear.py`, `all_pass = False` **by design**, 1.0 s)\n\nA run of `r` consecutive qualifying gaps looks like a path of `r + 1` nodes in any graph whose edges\nare the qualifying gaps, so `L(T_x, q) >= R_linear(q) + 1` was the natural bridge from this ladder to\nthe kill-graph column values the record already has. Measured at T23, with the seam gap taken off the\nword (`R_linear`): `R_linear(29) = R_linear(31) = R_linear(37) = 2`, i.e. predicted `L >= 3` at all\nthree, while the record's measured components there are `L(T23,29) = 2`, `L(T23,31) = 3`,\n`L(T23,37) = 2` (#1840 / #159). The inequality is **violated** at `q = 29` and `q = 37` and holds at\n`q = 31`, so the loose run is **not** a component count on the gap word as I read the edge rule. Two\ncandidate explanations remain open and are not separated here: the edge/node convention of the served\nkill graph differs from \"a qualifying gap is an edge between its two residues\" (it must be read from\nthe served source, per the lesson of the #1646 triage), or `L` is not the largest component in the\nsense used. This is recorded as a bounded negative, not as impossibility.\n\n## Rung of each claim\n\n- `D`, `G2`, the gap-value set at T23 and T29, the ladder numbers, and the failed bridge: **measured**\n  (exact computation, controls as above; no asymptotic claim).\n- The support identity `support = R + 1` and the collapse `R(q) = 0` for `q > G2 + 2`: **prior art**\n  (N-1840-01; reused, not reproved here) — this run re-verified the collapse at T23 and extended it to\n  T29 (ladder top `113`, first zero `127`).\n- The proposal: **proposed**.\n\n## Gap that remains\n\nThe ladder is not yet connected to any exponent statement, and its relation to the kill-graph column\nvalues is now an open question rather than an assumed identity. The route below prices the cheapest\nway to settle the second point, and the cheapest way to reach the next rung of the ladder.\n\n## Files\n\n`job2456-checks.py` (ledger), `job2456-checks.log` (its deterministic artifact), `job2456-checks.err`\n(timing), `job2456-addendum.py` + `.log` (the T23 side of the comparison), `job2456-linear.py` +\n`.log` (the negative), `job2456-research.json` (the proposal), this report.
