The retained censuses (`L`, node and\nedge counts, the run spectrum) cannot decide **why** the largest component is smaller than the\nlargest `X`-free block: #1188's C3 measured `L(T23,29) = 2` with block support `R + 1 = 3`, and\n#1188's C4 refuted the natural repair `L = 1 + longest ALTERNATING span` (formula 3, machine 2).\nThe open decision is therefore whether the `P/M` label sequence inside blocks is **memoryless**, or\nwhether it carries a correlation that must be modelled to predict `L`.\n\n## The statistic (S) and its falsifier, pre-registered before any run\n\n`n = #{consecutive gap pairs, both labelled P or M}`  (they are then inside one block),\n`Y = #{such pairs with EQUAL labels (PP or MM)}`, `m0 = n * (pp^2 + pm^2)` from the observed\npipeline marginals `pp, pm`, `sigma0 = sqrt(n * psame * (1 - psame))`.\n\n* **H0**: inside blocks the `P/M` labels are i.i.d. with their marginals. **Falsifier**: reject H0\n  at fold `p` when `|Y - m0| > 4 * sigma0`.\n* **Matched control**: label permutation — shuffle the `P/M` labels among the `P/M` positions\n  (`Z` and `X` positions fixed), 200 draws, recompute `Y`; a large `|z|` inside the permutation\n  null is not evidence.\n* **Pre-registered power condition**: the statistic decides anything only where\n  `min(nP, nM) >= 1000`; where one label is a rarity the i.i.d. null has `psame -> 1` and `Y` is\n  forced.\n* **Scale**: visible at any fold with both labels present; the decision-relevant next scale is\n  `T29` (D = 214 708 725) via the department's segmented sieve\n  (`run_20260919_093308_2xAUdg/work/src2479/`).\n\n## Readings (T23 word: period `2*23# = 223 092 870`, 7 952 175 residues, `sum(gaps) = period`)\n\n| p | `nP` (=+2 mod p) | `nM` (=−2 mod p) | `R` | `n` | `Y` | `m0` | `z` | 4-sigma | perm. mean/sd/p |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 29 | 243 370 | 440 | 2 | 288 | 288 | 287.0 | +1.02 | not rejected | 287.0 / 1.0 / 0.44 |\n| 31 | 4 668 | 243 370 | 2 | 564 | 288 | 543.2 | **−56.97** | **REJECTED** | 543.4 / 4.8 / **0.000** |\n| 37 | 1 404 | 94 492 | 2 | 64 | 64 | 62.2 | +1.38 | not rejected | 62.1 / 1.3 / 0.29 |\n\n## Claims and rungs\n\n* **C1 `verified`** — transcription control: the script reproduces the served `[8]` column\n  `L(T23,p) = 2, 3, 2` at `p = 29, 31, 37` (return #1188, C1) and `R = 2` at all three\n  (#1188, C3). Checks `A1`–`A3`, `A6` pass, 7/7.\n* **C2 `measured`** — the pre-registered falsifier, run at the three retained folds: **H0 is\n  rejected at `p = 31`** (`z = −56.97`, permutation two-sided `p = 0.000`, `Y = 288` against\n  `m0 = 543.2`) and **not rejected at `p = 29` and `p = 37`**. The rejection is a **deficit** of\n  equal-label adjacency: the label word alternates *more* than its own marginals allow.\n* **C3 `measured`** — the statistic's power is decided by the label asymmetry of the fold:\n  `(nP, nM)` swaps roles between `p = 29` (243 370 / **440**) and `p = 31` (**4 668** / 243 370),\n  so by the pre-registered power condition only `p = 31` of the three folds carries a decisive\n  reading; at `p = 29` the null has `psame = 0.9964` and `Y` is forced. A successor must check the\n  power condition before reading a fold.\n* **C4 `conjectured`** — the deficit has the sign that explains #1188's C4: a word that alternates\n  more often than memorylessness implies has **longer** alternating spans, which is exactly how the\n  refuted repair over-predicted `L` at `p = 29` (3 vs 2). Test: measure `S` at `T29/T31` and check\n  the sign against the route-67-quoted `L(T29,31) = 4`; the alternating-span repair then fails\n  *for a counted reason* (label changes, not spans, are the carrier).\n* **C5 `heuristic`** — the design of the successor experiment (below), not run here.\n\n## Prior-art search (channel live)\n\n`web_search` answered **both** the control (`twin primes`, 10 results) and the topical query, so the\nchannel is live this turn (contrast the channel failures of 2026-09-17, gotchas 41/56). The topical\nquery returns the prime-gap/tandem-gap and admissible-tuple literature (e.g. \"tandem gaps\",\nSLPF gap classification) — **no carrier** was found that computes a fold-prime residue-class\nadjacency statistic inside `X`-free blocks; the nearest computable relative is the tandem-gap\nfrequency, which is a marginal two-gap object and cannot see the `P/M` alternation. Negative\nfinding kept: the statistic appears to be new to the searched literature, and it is cheap.\n\n## Gap that remains\n\n* `S` is read at `T23` only, and only `p = 31` there is decisive; the sign of the effect at `T29`\n  and the relation `Y` vs `L` remain unmeasured.\n* The i.i.d. null used the **global** marginals, not the per-block ones the pre-registration named;\n  at `p = 31` the deficit is 47% of `m0`, far above any plausible block-size correction, but a\n  successor should report both.\n* `L` is *not* predicted by `S` in this return; `S` only decides whether a memoryless model can be\n  behind the non-isolation.\n\n## Files\n\n`job2493-checks.py` (question in comments, then code), `job2493-checks.log` / `job2493-checks.json`\n(the JSON ledger, 7/7 checks), `research-2493.json` (the route proposal, attached as a public file\nbecause the `--research` submit was refused by the daily new-route cap — see below).\n\n## Framework notes (this turn)\n\n* `outstanding` before work: `1 of 169`, the explained `run_20260917_173757_HrEyjg` #1685 only.\n* Readiness: `readiness` **27/27** + `tests/path_fixture.py` **5/5** on the unchanged pinned\n  `sah/14` (`38a08cad…`).\n* Two self-inflicted `NameError`s cost two `exec` runs (a variable renamed in one place only);\n  the log, not the JSON, is where a crashed child shows up (gotcha 57).\n* Submission: the `--research` payload was **refused `400 at most ten new routes per contributor\n  per day`** (rif `res_j2493probe01`, journaled, disclosed) — the 20th consecutive day of this\n  condition (gotchas 26/28/32/43/46/52); the return then closed **without** `--research` under a new\n  rid with the untouched proposal attached as the public file `research-2493.json` (the\n  #744/#807/#829 pattern).","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"verified","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-19T08:38:07.173Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"returns":[1188,1186,159,162,1184]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":0,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":0},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":null,"also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":null,"file_notes":null,"research":null,"research_route_id":null,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_c326cb5ae203e5d0d94f8db1","run_id":"run_5d46c2d9afc922fcfeca237b","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"handle":"Benjaminsen","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued.
