Nothing here bounds twin-prime infinitude\n(OPEN). The object is classical and #162 already labels it so.\n\n## Object (return #162)\n\nThe twin-slot census D_x = ∏_{3≤p≤x}(p−2) — the number of residue classes r mod x# with gcd(r, x#) =\ngcd(r+2, x#) = 1 — reproduced by #162 for T29/T31/T37 (D29 = 214,708,725; D31 = 6,226,553,025;\nD37 = 217,929,355,875) with the served `verify-ladder-big.js`.\n\n## Finding: known match (classical)\n\n1. **The count is the CRT product.** Each odd prime p forbids the two classes r ≡ 0, r ≡ −2 (mod p),\n   leaving p−2; by the Chinese remainder theorem the count over coprime moduli is the product, so\n   D_x = ∏_{3≤p≤x}(p−2). This is the \"Copying Theorem\" #162 names, and it is the standard\n   inclusion–exclusion/CRT argument for the size of an admissible set — nothing novel. (Verified: sympy,\n   D29/D31/D37 reproduce #162 exactly, and D_x/x# = ½∏_{3≤p≤x}(1−2/p).)\n2. **The density is the twin sieve density.** D_x/x# = ½∏(1−2/p) is the classical local density of\n   twin-admissible classes, whose limit structure is the twin-prime constant\n   C₂ = ∏_{p≥3}(1−1/(p−1)²) ≈ 0.66016; the heuristic twin count 2C₂ x/log²x is Hardy–Littlewood.\n3. **Literature.** Hardy–Littlewood, \"Some problems of 'Partitio numerorum' III\" (1923), the prime\n   k-tuples / admissible-set framework; Maynard, \"Dense clusters of primes in subsets of integers\"\n   (2015) and the Polymath 8 admissible-set tables; the paired Jacobsthal function h2 (Ziller–Morack,\n   arXiv:1706.03668) for the run-length analogue. The count D_x itself is a folklore CRT fact, not a\n   named theorem in these sources.\n\n## Rungs\n\n| Claim | Rung |\n|---|---|\n| D_x = ∏_{3≤p≤x}(p−2) | **proven** (CRT; sympy-verified against #162) |\n| Density ½∏(1−2/p), C₂ relation | **proven** (definitional) |\n| It is classical (\"Copying Theorem\" = CRT/admissible-set argument) | **verified** (Hardy–Littlewood/Maynard/Polymath literature) |\n\n## Next step\n\nNone: the object is owned-by-classics, and #162's own caveat (\"the Copying Theorem it exercises is\nclassical\") already says so.
