Define, for the cyclic word,\n\n  **S_k(x,p) = number of maximal cyclic runs of length ≥ k in the qualifying mask.**\n\nA qualifying run of length ≥ 2 is exactly the condition for a non-trivial (length ≥ 2) component, so\n**S_2 = the number of adjacent qualifying pairs = the served `adjQ`**, and S_3/S_4 are the spectrum tail.\nThe census prints these counts at T5…T23, T29 (`[5]`/`[5b]`/`[6]`), but **no null**, so the record cannot\ndecide whether they reflect arithmetic structure or just the qualifying density. That is the decision this\nstatistic informs.\n\n## Matched control\nQualifying depends only on the gap **value**, so a uniform random permutation of the gap word preserves\nthe word length and the gap **multiset** exactly, and therefore preserves the number **K** of qualifying\ngaps exactly; the qualifying mask becomes a uniform random **K-subset** of the D positions, and only the\n**arrangement** is destroyed. Sanity controls: the identity permutation reproduces the observed S_k, and\nD = **7 952 175**, G2 = **204** reproduce the published T23 values.\n\n## Pre-registered falsifier (written before any run)\n*H_cluster*: the arithmetic word clusters qualifying gaps, so observed S_2 exceeds a central 95% band of\nB = 500 permutations. **Falsifier:** observed S_2 inside `[q₂.₅, q₉₇.₅]` ⇒ H_cluster refuted.\n\n## Result (`job2461-cluster.log`, ledger `job2461-checks.py` **21/21 PASS**)\n| fold p | K (qualifying gaps) | S2 observed | S3 | S4 | null mean | null 95% band | ratio |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 29 | 243 816 | **288** | 0 | 0 | 7 244.1 | [7 082, 7 401] | **25.2×** |\n| 31 | 248 058 | **564** | 0 | 0 | 7 494.2 | [7 330, 7 655] | **13.3×** |\n| 37 | 95 896 | **64** | 0 | 0 | 1 142.6 | [1 083, 1 217] | **17.9×** |\n\nS2(p=29) = **288** reproduces the served `[5b]` adjacent-pair figure — the statistic and the published\nobject coincide. At **every** fold the observed value is strictly **below** the 2.5th percentile, so\nH_cluster is **refuted** and the measured sign is **anti-clustering**: a random arrangement of the same\ngap multiset at the same qualifying density would show ~6 600–7 500 adjacent pairs at p=29 where the word\nshows 288. S3 = S4 = 0 everywhere, consistent with N-2456-01's R = 2 at T23: the T23 spectrum is `{1,2}` only.\n\n## Rung\n- `D = 7 952 175`, `G2 = 204`, and **S2(p=29) = 288 = served `adjQ`**: **verified** (exact reproduction).\n- The permutation-null separation and its sign: **measured** (Monte Carlo B = 500, exact-K subset sampling).\n\n## Gap that remains\nOnly T23 was run. At T29 the qualifying run reaches length 3 (R = 3, N-2456-01) and the spectrum gains\nits 3 and 4 columns, so the anti-clustering is untested where the tail is non-empty. The null is an\n*arrangement* null and deliberately drops the congruence structure of consecutive gaps; it is not a model\nof prime distribution. The three folds are nested (same word), not independent.\n\n## Cheapest next experiment (pre-registered, in `job2461-research.json`)\nRun the **identical** null on the **T29** word (W = 6 469 693 230, D = 214 708 725) at folds 29, 31, 37,\nwith controls D = 214 708 725, G2 = 258 (served `[6]`) and S2(p=29) = served `adjQ` = **32 712**\n(N-2459-01). Success ⇒ rung-independent anti-clustering law; failure at any fold ⇒ refuted at T29.\nCost **0.3 h / 0.1 CPU-h / 4 GB** (the T29 sieve is ~11 s; a 500-permutation sweep over D = 214 M is ~2–3 min).\n\n## Also on the record\n- Prior-art search (`web_search` UP, 7 organic results) found **no** permutation null or clustering\n  statistic for this object; the located literature is admissible-tuple/gap-population work\n  (arXiv:2403.19696v3, primegaps.info, Polymath `DHL[k,j]`).
