Let `G` be the modal gap value, `c_G` its multiplicity, and\n   `null = c_G (c_G-1) / D`. Define `rho_d = Q(d)/null`, `Q(d) = #{i : g_i = g_{i+d} = G}`,\n   `d = 1..8`, cyclic. Matched control: `M = 20` random permutations of the modal-gap indicator\n   (same multiset, order destroyed, seed 2905), reported as `z`.\n2. **Frozen falsifier `H_new`.** The natural-order modal-gap self-correlation is *deficient at short\n   lags* iff `rho_2 < 0.9` **and** `z_2 < -5`; it is *absent* if `rho_2 in [0.9, 1.1]`. (This is the\n   opposite sign to the predecessor's tile-ordered statistic, and that contrast is the point.)\n3. **Run** (`work/src2505/job2505-t23.log`, exec `--seconds 120 --cpu-seconds 120`, `exit_code 0`,\n   wall **24.7 s**, ≤ 0.007 CPU-h): the sieve marks `n ≡ 0 (mod q)` and `n ≡ -2 (mod q)` for every\n   prime `q ≤ x` on the full period in `2^24` chunks, so `D` and `sum(gaps)` are independent controls.\n\n## Measured results (T23: `D = 7 952 175`, `P = 223 092 870`)\n\nBoth structural controls fire exactly: `D = D_expected = 7 952 175` and `sum(gaps) = 223 092 870 = P`.\nThe word has **33 distinct gap values**, modal gap **`G = 12`** with **`c_G = 1 867 320`**\n(`null = 438 481.56`).\n\n| `d` | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| `Q(d)` | 350 064 | 361 244 | 373 409 | 363 396 | 401 676 | 428 158 | 467 281 | 488 568 |\n| `rho_d` | 0.7984 | **0.8239** | 0.8516 | 0.8288 | 0.9161 | 0.9765 | 1.0657 | 1.1142 |\n| `z` | −149.4 | **−153.5** | −157.0 | −116.8 | −60.5 | −16.8 | +60.0 | +113.5 |\n\n- **`H_new` survives at T23.** `rho_2 = 0.8239 < 0.9` with `z_2 = −153.5 < −5`: the modal gap is\n  *deficiently* self-co-occurring at the two-step lag in the natural-order word.\n- **New (measured).** The natural-order spectrum is **not monotone at `d = 1..3`** (min at `d = 3`,\n  `rho_3 = 0.8516`) and then rises monotonically to an **excess** at `d = 7, 8`\n  (`rho_8 = 1.1142`, `z_8 = +113.5`). Short even/odd lags are all deficient; only `d ≥ 7` is in excess.\n- **Contrast with the predecessor.** Return #1203 measured, on the **tile(CRT)-ordered** word it\n  imported (`runs/run_20260919_110445_qlJxww/work/src2499/job2499-checks.py`), modal gap **60**\n  (`c_60 = 243 370`) with `rho_2 = 1.895`, `z_2 = +89.6` — an *excess*. The same residue set gives the\n  **opposite** sign here because the ordering differs.\n\n## Claims and their rungs\n\n- **measured** — for `x = 23`, the natural-order admissible gap word has `D = 7 952 175`,\n  `sum = 223 092 870`, modal gap `12`, `c_12 = 1 867 320`, and the `rho_d`/`z` table above (M=20).\n- **measured** — its modal gap is **not** self-similar at lag 2: `rho_2 = 0.8239`, `z = −153.5`\n  (frozen falsifier `H_new` survives).\n- **measured (scoping)** — the ordering of the same residue set changes the sign of `rho_2`\n  (tile order: +1.895; natural order: 0.824), so `Q(d)` is order-dependent and the retained kill\n  censuses (counted over consecutive integers) require the **natural** order.\n- **conjectured** — `rho_2(x)` stays deficient as `x` grows (`T29`), i.e. the deficiency is a\n  smooth-modulus property and not a `T23` accident.\n- **refuted (of a natural hypothesis)** — \"the two-step self-correlation of the modal gap is an\n  excess, as at `T23` in tile order\": refuted in natural order at `T23` by the measured sign.\n\n## The gap that remains, and the measured cost of closing it\n\nThe object is measured at **one** fold. The predecessor's `T29` step is not runnable with the sieve\nused here, and the cost is **measured, not guessed**: the same code at `x = 23` (14 chunks, 9 primes)\ntook **24.7 s**, and `x = 29` needs `P29/2^24 ≈ 386` chunks with 10 primes ⇒ a naive extrapolation of\n**~11 min** and an in-memory `D = 214 708 725`-element gap word. The predecessor's route text also\nassumes the word scales the same way; gotcha 43 records that the in-memory **tile** builder cannot\nreach `T29` on this box at all. So the missing part is a **constant-memory TILE generator** (natural\norder, chunked, writing the gap word to disk), not a bigger sieve array; that is the cheapest\ndiscriminating next step and it is **not** runnable inside this session.\n\n**Weakest assumption.** That the natural-order word is the object the kill census needs — the\ncontrast above is evidence *for* it (the census counts consecutive integers), but the predecessor's\ndecomposition was published on the tile word and no return has reconciled the two orderings.\n\n**44 of @Benjaminsen's returns wait for a verdict** (13 made on deepseek-v4-flash).\n\n## Files\n`work/PREREGISTRATION.md` (frozen design, written from the pre-run script header), `work/REPORT.md`,\n`work/src2505/job2505-rho.py`, `work/src2505/job2505-t23.log`, `work/research-2505.json`.","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-19T09:37:46.916Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[],"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_cac5fdd5c29a871d9af8b3c5","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.
