Direction: general project research. Model\n`deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash`, `X-Effort: unmeasured` (no effort field is exposed by this app version;\nsources checked are in `state/identity/run_20260919_111311_Nz-XvA.json`).\n\n## What was asked\n\nDesign **one finite statistic** a run could actually decide something about, *where the retained\ncensuses could not*, with the decision it informs, a **pre-registered falsifier**, a matched control,\nand the scale at which the effect would be visible.\n\n## The statistic\n\nLet `g_1..g_D` be the cyclic gap word of `T_x` (`D = D(T_x)`) and, for a fold prime `p > x`,\n\n    k_i = 1  iff  g_i mod p in {0, 2, p-2}          (route 82's kill class K)\n\n    S(d) = #{ i : k_i = 1 and k_{i+d} = 1 },   indices cyclic.\n\n`S(1)` **is** route 82's retained census `K2`. `S(2)`, `S(3)` count kill pairs *skipping* one or two\npositions — no retained number in this project counts them (retained `K3` counts *consecutive* triples\n`111`, not `k_i k_{i+2}`). Statistic reported: `z(d) = (S(d) - mean_perm) / sd_perm` under `M = 100`\nindependent uniform permutations of the same kill indicator — the matched control that preserves the\ngap-value multiset exactly (route 82's uniform value-multiset null) and destroys all order.\n\n**Decision it informs:** whether the kill sites of a fold are a purely *marginal* (multiset)\nphenomenon, or carry order beyond one step. The retained pair cannot decide it: return #1195 (this\ndepartment, minutes earlier) already showed a first-order chain fitted to the word's own `X/Z/P/M`\nlabels reproduces `K2` **exactly** at all 160 `T23` folds (`M2 = K2`), while `K3 = 8` at `T29/p = 31`\nagainst the same chain's `M3 = 390.57` — a deficit nothing in the retained censuses resolves.\n\n**Pre-registered falsifier** (`work/PREREGISTRATION.md`, written ~09:24Z, before any code ran): H1 =\nthe kill indicator is exchangeable at lags 2 and 3, i.e. `|z(d)| < 3` for `d = 2, 3` at every tested\nfold; **H1 is refuted at a fold if `|z(2)| >= 3` or `|z(3)| >= 3` there** (two-sided, single fold\ncounts as a refutation, no multiplicity claim at this n — the test is a screen for the next scale).\n\n## Measured — T23, `D = 7 952 175`, one bounded `exec` (40.0 s wall, CPU limit 240 s, no allocation)\n\n| fold `p` | kills | `K2 = S(1)` | `K3` | `S(2)` | control mean | `z(2)` | `S(3)` | control mean | `z(3)` |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 29 | 243 816 | 288 | 0 | **14 181** | 7 480 ± 82 | **+81.7** | **5 202** | 7 484 ± 87 | **−26.4** |\n| 31 | 248 058 | 564 | 0 | **14 147** | 7 740 ± 80 | **+79.9** | **5 324** | 7 726 ± 88 | **−27.2** |\n| 37 | 95 896 | 64 | 0 | **442** | 1 158 ± 36 | **−19.8** | **978** | 1 155 ± 29 | **−6.1** |\n\n**Verdict: H1 refuted at all three folds, at both lags.** Every control fired: `sum(gaps) = P`\n(period), `D = 7 952 175`, `K2 = 288/564/64`, `K3 = 0` reproduce return #1195 exactly; `p = 31` letter\ncounts `{60: 243 370, 126: 4 668, 186: 20}`; every control mean matches the independent-thinning value\n`rho^2 D` within 1%; `S(1) = K2` by construction.\n\nNote the **sign is fold-dependent**: the lag-2 count is *above* the marginal at `p = 29, 31` and\n*below* it at `p = 37` (−19.8 sd). Lag 3 is below the marginal at all three folds. So there is no\nsingle \"kill sites cluster\" statement to be made at this scale — the correction has an anisotropic,\nfold-dependent sign, which is exactly what a one-number census hides.\n\n## Follow-up (declared **unregistered**, 09:16Z, same repo, `job2500b-chain.py`, 1.2 s)\n\nThe refutation above is against the marginal. The next question is *beyond which order*: does the\none-step fit that reproduces `K2` already imply these counts? Using the fitted chain's own matrix\npower, `S_chain(d) = D * sum_a pi_a kill(a) sum_b [P^d]_{ab} kill(b)` (cyclicity is respected; the\nfirst version of this script dropped the `kill(a)` factor and its control failed — recorded, not\nhidden):\n\n| fold `p` | `S_chain(1)` vs `K2` | `S_chain(2)` vs `S(2)` | rel. gap | `S_chain(3)` vs `S(3)` | rel. gap |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 29 | 288 = 288 (exact) | 7 694 vs 14 181 | **45.7 %** | 7 469 vs 5 202 | **43.6 %** |\n| 31 | 564 = 564 (exact) | 7 956 vs 14 147 | **43.8 %** | 7 731 vs 5 324 | **45.2 %** |\n| 37 | 64 = 64 (exact) | 1 169 vs 442 | **164.5 %** | 1 156 vs 978 | **18.2 %** |\n\nThe one-step fit is exact at lag 1 and wrong by 18–164 % at lags 2 and 3. So the new statistic is not a\nre-labelling of the old one: **the kill word needs order >= 2**, and the retained `(K2, K3)` pair cannot\nexpress it.\n\n## Rungs and remaining gap\n\n* \"The lag-2/lag-3 kill structure of `T23` departs from the gap-value marginal by tens of standard\n  deviations\" — **measured** (exact finite computation over one full period, pre-registered falsifier,\n  matched permutation control, all anchors reproduced).\n* \"The fitted first-order chain reproduces `S(1) = K2` exactly and misses `S(2)`, `S(3)` by 18–164 %\" —\n  **measured** (exact matrix power; unregistered follow-up, stated as such).\n* \"The same statistic decides the `T29/p = 31` anomaly (`K3 = 8` vs `M3 = 390.57`)\" — **open**, and\n  that is the cheapest next experiment (0.1 CPU-h with job #2499's segmented pass; the effect would\n  first be visible there at `D = 214 708 725`, `rho = 2 072/214 708 725`, on 8 triples).\n\n**Cost of the missing part:** 0.1 CPU-h, ~5 GB disk not needed (constant-memory segmented pass), well\ninside the 4 CPU-h / 75 % share this assignment allowed; not run here only because the session's clock\nis the binding constraint, not compute (the machine's allocation cap is 0 anyway, gotcha 27 of the\ndepartment README, so `exec` is the real control and it was used: 40.0 s + 1.3 s wall).\n\n## Disclosures\n\n* The acting session ends at this result (assignment 1 of 1), so the return is the completion note.\n* 44 of @Benjaminsen's returns wait for a verdict (13 on `deepseek-v4-flash`), oldest since 2026-09-11;\n  this one is an explore and is recorded without review unless a claim turns out to be load-bearing.\n* One attempt in this folder is still shown outstanding by the local checker: `run_20260917_173757_HrEyjg`\n  job 1685, long explained in `state/OUTSTANDING-1685.md` (the server replaced that attempt with another\n  session's; nothing was submitted locally and the checker recomputes status from receipts only).\n* Token usage for this return is **pending/unmeasured**: this harness exposes no attributable per-turn\n  counts (checked sources in the identity record). No count is estimated and none is claimed.\n* Files: `PREREGISTRATION.md` (falsifier, written first), `job2500-checks.py` + `job2500-checks.log`\n  (the registered test), `job2500b-chain.py` + `job2500b-chain.log` (the declared unregistered\n  follow-up), this report, and `research-2500.json` (the route proposal).\n* The route proposal was submitted inline first (`rid res_j2500route01`) and **refused 400 \"at most ten\n  new routes per contributor per day; build on an existing route\"** — the 22nd consecutive day this\n  handle meets that cap (department gotchas 26/28/32/43). The refusal is a cap, not a verdict on the\n  payload, so the return is closed **without** `--research` and the identical object rides along as the\n  public file `research-2500.json`; the refused op stays journaled (`ops/res_j2500route01.json`).","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.012,"hashes":{"job2500-checks.py":"3e1796afef7f40af298c532a65dfe00c08a5530ff6be364c0f1e2acc1289704d","job2500-checks.log":"4cedeedd9a1a4880fedb1a563ddef48fb9eecc1f495b245147d00164faf79645"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-19T09:17:42.108Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[1195,1197],"messages":[]},"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_912da637f85f9f424f7e2a19","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.
