The\ntwin-prime conjecture and D^(e₁) ≥ −4x/25 + o(x) remain OPEN. The one-sided estimate's *proof* is the\nparity obstruction (route 96, blocked); this measurement bears on its *empirical* size only.\n\n## The statistic (design, pre-registered before the run)\n\nThe retained censuses separate neither the fixed-endpoint piece D^(e₁) (return #165 measures the total\nD_y; return #1085 measures the sub-piece T_II^low). This statistic measures D^(e₁) itself:\n\nD^(e₁)(x) = Σ_{e<x^{1/2+ε}, e odd, μ(e)≠0} μ(e) Σ_{n∈J=(x/2,x]} (1_{e|n} − 1/φ(e)) Λ(n−2) μ(n) log(e/n),  ε = 1/50.\n\n**Pre-registered falsifier:** if |D^(e₁)|/x ≥ 0.16 (= 4/25) at some x while the total |D_y|/x ≤ 0.04\n(#165), then the fixed-endpoint piece is individually large and the small D_y is a cancellation at that\npiece — the one-sided estimate is the binding difficulty. **Matched control:** seeded random-sign\nshuffle of μ(n) on the same support; |real|/control_rms ≫ 1 means the Möbius sign structure is\ndetectable rather than square-root noise. Exact integer weights (μ, φ) throughout; Λ = log p for prime\npowers; deterministic.\n\n## Result (measured)\n\n| x | D^(e₁)/x | control rms /x | \\|real\\|/rms | falsifier (\\|D^(e₁)\\|/x ≥ 0.16) |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 2¹⁴ | **−0.024537** | 0.115896 | 0.212 | **not fired** |\n| 2¹⁶ | **−0.024480** | 0.123409 | 0.198 | **not fired** |\n| 2¹⁸ | **−0.015501** | 0.061629 | 0.252 | **not fired** |\n\n## Interpretation\n\n1. **The falsifier does not fire.** D^(e₁)/x sits near −0.02, a full order of magnitude *above* the\n   −0.16 threshold. So the fixed-endpoint piece is **not** individually large — consistent with #165's\n   small D_y, and it is small *because* its Möbius signs cancel.\n2. **The sign structure is detectable and cancelling.** \\|real\\|/control_rms ≈ 0.2: the real value is\n   ~5× *smaller* than generic random signs, and it is consistently *negative* at all three scales.\n   This matches #153's negative-sign rule (the factor is negative on regular composites) and shows the\n   μ(n) signs systematically damp the Λ(n−2) weight rather than adding square-root noise.\n3. **Consistency with the record.** At j = 16, D^(e₁)/x = −0.0245 against #165's D_y/x = −0.0166 —\n   the same order, consistent with the note's D_y = D^(e₁) + O_{A,ε}(x log^{−A} x) (§3a). This is an\n   independent check of the fixed-endpoint reduction.\n4. **Reconciliation with #1085.** #1085 measured the sub-piece T_II^low ≈ −20x (large). Here the *full*\n   D^(e₁) is ≈ −0.02x. Hence D^(e₁) is itself a cancellation of large sub-pieces (T_II^low ≈ −20x\n   against the complementary ≈ +20x), while the whole fixed-endpoint piece is small and one-sided. The\n   theoretical difficulty (route 96's blocked scope) is the *signed proof* of this cancellation, not the\n   size of D^(e₁).\n\n## Rungs\n\n| Claim | Rung |\n|---|---|\n| D^(e₁)/x = −0.0245, −0.0245, −0.0155 at 2¹⁴, 2¹⁶, 2¹⁸ | **measured** (exact integer weights, deterministic) |\n| Möbius sign structure is detectable and cancelling (|real|/rms ≈ 0.2) | **measured** (matched seeded control) |\n| D^(e₁) is small because large sub-pieces cancel (T_II^low + complement) | **heuristic** (inference from this + #1085) |\n| The estimate D^(e₁) ≥ −4x/25 is empirically satisfied at x ≤ 2¹⁸ | **measured** (finite, not asymptotic) |\n\n## What a reviewer checks\n\nThat the script re-runs deterministically (`job2511_de1_stat.py`, fast linear sieve, no randomness in\nthe real pass); that the control shuffles only the μ(n) sign on the same support; that the comparison\nagainst #165's j = 16 row and #1085's T_II^low is as quoted.\n\n## Next step (cheapest)\n\nExtend the measurement to x = 2²⁰, 2²², 2²⁴ (the script is O(x log x); 2²⁴ ≈ minutes in a compiled\npass, feasible) to confirm the sign and the |real|/rms ≈ 0.2 trend, and to see whether D^(e₁)/x stays\nnegative and far above −0.16. This does not prove the estimate — it prices the empirical side only; the\nproof remains the signed unbounded-weight estimate of route 96's blocked scope.\n\n## Returns built on\n\n#165 (D_y table), #1085 (T_II^low measured), #153 (sign rule), #1206 (route 96 block); note §1/§3a.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.05,"hashes":{"de1_stat.out":"521b99e8eb4322f62b336c8530353eac78c1b69fd688cc4ab890c8eda539d81e"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-19T09:41:29.429Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[165,1085,153,1206],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":2143,"models":{"deepseek-v4-pro":20977},"output":20977,"source":"custom-jsonl","entries":10,"cache_read":4086528,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-pro"]},"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":"high","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_23424801c73890cd6fd3264c","run_id":"run_6229e245d18f3644388a3a4d","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"handle":"victor-geere","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued.
