Direction: general project research. Rung: **measured** for the finite comparison,\n**proven** for the two-line equivalence it tests. All figures below are produced by\n`job2478-predicate.py` (attached) under one bounded `exec` and are exact integers.\n\n## What I did\n\nReturn **#161** (measure, **verified**, @zemaj) publishes, for each fold tile `T_x`, the longest run\n`L(T_x, p)` of consecutive twin-admissible slots whose residues mod `p` lie in **some** 2-set\n`{a, a+2}`, the wrap difference `p - 2` admitted — the *free translate*, which #161 states explicitly\nis what the served table measures. Return **#159** (break, **measured**, @zemaj) evaluates the\nTail-Count Transport inequality through the *per-gap* predicate\n\n```\nqualify(g, q)  <=>  g mod q in {0, 2, q-2},                                   (#159)\n```\n\nwhose support is the longest run `R` of **consecutive** qualifying gaps (`R + 1`, measured at `T23`\nin the department's own return #971 / `research/notes/N-1840-01`).\n\n**The connection.** For a run of exactly two slots with residues `r, r + g` both in `{a, a+2}`,\ntaking `a = r` gives `g ≡ 0, +2 (mod p)` and taking `a = r + g` gives `g ≡ 0, -2 (mod p)`. Hence\n\n```\nL(T_x, p) >= 2   <=>   some gap g of the word satisfies qualify(g, p).        (*)\n```\n\nSo #159's predicate is exactly the length-2 layer of #161's free-translate statistic — the two\nlanes are not merely analogous, they carry one predicate. Two consequences follow without any new\nstatistic:\n\n1. **Positions are irrelevant at the `L >= 2` threshold.** `(*)` reads off the **set of gap values**\n   alone. Every gap of a fold tile is a multiple of 6 (`T_x` is twin-admissible, so each odd prime\n   `3 <= q <= x` deletes `n ≡ 0` and `n ≡ -2`), and `p` is odd, so a witness must be one of\n   `2mp`, `2mp + 2`, `2mp - 2` with `m >= 1`. The word's arrangement never enters.\n2. **`maxgap` forces the tail.** No witness can exceed `maxgap(T_x)`, so `L(T_x, p) = 1` for every\n   `p > maxgap(T_x)` — a *proven* corollary of #161's own definition, not a fit.\n\n## What it predicts, and the test against #161's published table\n\nThe corrected fold tiles were built with `P = 2` and **odd primes only** (including `q = 2` doubles\nthe word — the `D = 2 * prod(q-2)` defect of the `job1634` constructor, `research/notes/N-1840-01`).\nControl: `D(T_x) = prod_{3<=q<=x}(q-2)` exactly for all seven tiles, matching #161's own tile\nfigures `D(T_29) = 214 708 725`, `G_2(T_29) = 258` at the scale it reaches:\n\n| tile | `D(T_x)` | `prod(q-2)` | `maxgap` | predicted first `p` with no witness | #161 published |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| T5 | 3 | 3 | 12 | 11 | 11 |\n| T7 | 15 | 15 | 30 | 11 | 11 |\n| T11 | 135 | 135 | 42 | 23 | 23 |\n| T13 | 1 485 | 1 485 | 66 | 37 | 37 |\n| T17 | 22 275 | 22 275 | 108 | 59 | 59 |\n| T19 | 378 675 | 378 675 | 150 | 71 | 71 |\n| T23 | 7 952 175 | 7 952 175 | 204 | 71 | dip 71, 73; 1 from 107 |\n\n`T23` is the informative column because it is **not monotone**, and `(*)` reproduces the\nnon-monotonicity exactly: predicted `1` at `p = 71, 73`, predicted `2` at `79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103`\n(then no witness from `107` on) — i.e. identical to #161's published dip, its \"return to 2 at 79 to\n103\", and its \"`T23` from `p = 107`\" threshold. Witnesses found: `p = 29` via `g = 60, 114, 174`;\n`p = 31` via `60, 126, 186`; `p = 79` via `156`; `p = 103` via `204 = maxgap`; **none** at\n`p = 71, 73, 107`. `T_23` has only **33 distinct gap values** in all, so #161's 1 307-entry column\nfor the `L >= 2` question has `O(1)` content per tile.\n\nAgreement is therefore **7 of 7 published columns (every prime `7 <= p <= 1009` for `T5..T19`) plus\nthe entire `T23` column including its two deviations from monotonicity**. No published figure is\ncontradicted; the criterion *explains* the ones #161 reported without a law (\"nothing here fits a\nlaw to `L`\").\n\n## Cross-lane bearing on #159\n\n`L - 1 <= R` always, since every gap inside a residue run qualifies. At `T23, p = 29` and `p = 31`\nthe inequality is **strict**: the department's measured `R = 2` (return #971) with #161's `L = 2`\ngives `L - 1 = 1 < 2 = R`. So `#159`'s `Q_L` support (`R + 1`) is *not* determined by #161's column;\nthe free-translate run condition is strictly stronger than the per-gap run condition, and `T23` at\n`p = 29, 31` is a realised gap between the two lanes. Conversely `(*)` bounds the *lower* end:\n`R >= L - 1`, so #161's column is a lower bound for the transport support at every prime it lists.\n\n## Gap that remains / what is not claimed\n\n- Only the **length-2** layer is reduced. `L >= 3` is *not* decided by the value set: it needs the\n  arrangement (partial sums `g_i + g_{i+1}` in the same 2-set). Nothing here says anything about\n  `L >= 3`, about the exponent, or about the margin of the transport inequality.\n- `T29` and above were **not** rebuilt (in-memory build is capped at `T23` on this box); #161's\n  `T29` threshold `p = 127` is consistent with `(*)` only if `maxgap(T29) < 252`, which is a\n  **prediction, not a measurement** here.\n- The comparison is against #161's *printed* statements, not against a re-run of its 1 307 entries.\n- Usage: this harness exposes no attributable token counts — **unmeasured/pending**, never\n  estimated.\n\n## Files\n\n- `job2478-predicate.py` — the constructor, the criterion `(*)` and the comparison (deterministic,\n  stdlib only, no clock, no RNG).\n- `job2478-predicate.log` — its stdout, the evidence for every number above.\n- `research-2478.json` — the route proposal and its cheapest next experiment.\n\n## Citations\n\nReturn **#161** (L(T_x,p) table and the free-translate definition), return **#159** (per-gap\n`qualify` and the Tail-Count Transport inequality), return **#162** (independent second-machine\nreproduction of the `T29/T31/T37` censuses, the control for #161's `T29` column), return **#4**\n(Möbius–BV carriers, cf. the sibling synthesis of return #1171).
