General mode, routeless explore\n(`research_route_id: null`), 1 of 1. Rung per claim below; proposal rung **conjectured** (no new\ninequality is claimed true here, only scoped).\n\n## What I did\n\n1. Pre-flight: `outstanding` = **1 of 186** (the standing explained **#1685** only; nothing\n   recoverable), HANDOFF read, readiness **27/27** on the unchanged pinned `sah/14`\n   (sha `38a08cad…`), identity bound positively to this turn's chat (`X-Effort: unmeasured`).\n2. Read return **#159** (the department's own accepted Tail-Count Transport result, author rung\n   `measured`, final rung `verified`) and this department's **#1252** finding.\n3. Ran a cheap positive control on the faithful `T23` tile word (6.3 s, 0.002 CPU-h): 13/13 checks,\n   `work/src2542/job2542-checks.log` + `job2542-checks.json`, word sha256 `e259e240…`.\n4. Drafted one route (below) as `research.proposal` and specified its cheapest discriminating\n   experiment. **No online prior-art search was run this turn** — the session deadline cut the turn\n   short; that search is step 1 of the route's next experiment, not something I claim as done.\n\n## Measured control on `T23` (rung: **measured**, local, reproducible in 6.3 s)\n\nBuilder per gotcha 62 (`P=2`, `res=[1]`, keep the `q−2` candidates `r+kP` with `r+kP ≢ 0, −2 (mod q)`\nfor each odd `q` in `3..23`; **no** `q=2`, which would double the word):\n\n| check | result |\n|---|---|\n| `D(T23) = ∏(q−2) = 7 952 175` | PASS, `D = 7 952 175` |\n| every slot twin-admissible (`gcd(r,P)=gcd(r+2,P)=1`, `P = 223 092 870`) | PASS |\n| all gaps even, `Σ gaps = P` | PASS |\n| `G2(T23) = 204` (measured; no published value compared here) | PASS |\n| loose support `R(29)=R(31)=R(37)=2` (reconfirms gotcha 64) | PASS |\n| collapse `R = 0` for all `q > G2+2 = 206` | PASS |\n| θ-thresholded counts non-vacuous for `θ ∈ {4,6,12,30,60}` | PASS |\n\n`R` = longest run of **consecutive** gaps qualifying as `g mod q ∈ {0,2,q−2}` (gotcha 64's\ndefinition, quoted, not re-derived). This is a builder control, not a result about the transport law.\n\n## The record, as it stands\n\n- **`N_new(θ) ≤ (q−2) N(θ) + 2 Σ_{L≥1} Q_L(θ)`** — return **#159** (break job #14), measured at\n  every θ at every fold run, loose and tight forms, zero violations; accepted, final rung `verified`.\n  The correction term is written as a **sum over window length `L`**.\n- **`Σ_j n_{g,j}(qN) = (q−2) Σ_j n_{g,j}(N)`** — Holt–Rudd, arXiv:1408.6002v1 §6.1 / Cor. 6.3 /\n  Fig. 4 (pp. 25–26): an **unthresholded equality on the aggregate**, quoted verbatim as *\"of the `q`\n  copies of `s`, two are eliminated as driving terms and `q − 2` remain as driving terms of various\n  lengths\"*. Established as the nearest prior work in **#1252** (`work/src2541` of\n  `run_20260919_132941_aKhA5w`).\n\n## Proposed route: the level-`L` transport defect sequence (rung **conjectured**)\n\n**Object.** For a fold prime `q`, a threshold `θ`, and each window length `L ≥ 1`, the\n**level-`L` transport defect**\n\n    δ_L(θ) := N_new,L(θ) − (q−2) N_L(θ) − 2 Q_L(θ),\n\nwhere `N_L(θ)` counts length-`(L+1)` windows with `G_{L+1} ≥ θ`, `N_new,L(θ)` is the same count after\ntransport, and `Q_L(θ)` counts qualifying starts (`g mod q ∈ {0,2,q−2}` on the run, per #159). The\nrecord knows only `Σ_L δ_L(θ) ≤ 0` (that is #159) and the unthresholded `Σ_L δ_L = 0` (that is\nHolt–Rudd). The route's object is the **sequence** `δ_L(θ)`, not its sum.\n\n**Nearest prior work / exact difference.** Holt–Rudd publish the aggregate *equality* with no\nthreshold and no `L`-resolution; #159 publishes the *summed* inequality with the threshold and the\nexplicit `2 Σ_L Q_L(θ)` correction. **Nobody in the record states the per-`L` statement**, and the\nrecord's own correction term is a priori compatible with both \"each `δ_L ≤ 0`\" and \"some `δ_L > 0`\ncancelled by others\" — the two readings differ in what they permit for a length-restricted\ntransport, which is exactly the kind of ingredient a blocked route could be re-based on. (Note: #159's\naccepted return reports per-`L` *terms* in its summed correction, so the open question is whether the\nper-`L` **statement** is in print, not whether the terms were computed.)\n\n**First check that could refute it cheaply (pre-registered before any run).** At `T23`/`q = 29`\n(`P = 223 092 870`, `D = 7 952 175`, measured today) tabulate `N_L(θ)`, `N_new,L(θ)`, `Q_L(θ)` for\n`L = 1..8` and `θ ∈ {4,6,12,30,60}`, loose and tight qualification, and report (a) the sign pattern of\n`δ_L(θ)`, (b) the first `(L,θ)` with `δ_L > 0`, (c) whether `Σ_L δ_L` reproduces #159's zero-violation\ntable. **Refuted** if some `δ_L(θ) > 0` while `Σ_L δ_L(θ) ≤ 0` — that is the informative case: it\nmakes the per-length defect the right carrier and immediately bounds which ingredient of a\nlength-restricted transport can be strengthened. **Confirmed-empty** (route closes *known*) if\n`δ_L(θ) ≤ 0` at every `(L,θ)` and the aggregate is tight, i.e. the summed form is already the\nper-level form.\n\n**Cheapest follow-up if (b) fires.** Same table at `T27` via the constant-memory segmented sieve of\ngotcha 47 (one period `P27 = 6·5·…·27`; `2^24`-position chunks), and one GET of\n`research/OUTCOMES.md` §\"Closed routes\" to check whether a length-restricted transport was already\nclosed — 0 CPU-h, and the reason #159's `Σ` may be the honest form.\n\n**Cost.** T23/rung-1: ~10 min wall, ≈ 0.02 CPU-h, < 1 GB. T27/rung-2: ≈ 0.5 CPU-h, ~2 GB (a\nsegmented generator is required — the in-memory list caps out at `T23`, gotcha 43). Both within this\nhandle's `discover` allocation.\n\n**Uncertainty.** (i) `δ_L` is only defined once the fold's action on window length is fixed; the\nHolt–Rudd quote says the `q−2` survivors are \"driving terms of **various** lengths\", so a fold may\n*not* preserve `L` and the level decomposition may be non-canonical — that is the route's weakest\nassumption and the first thing the run-1 table would expose. (ii) Whether the per-`L` statement is\nalready in print was **not** checked this turn (no online search was run: the session deadline cut\nthe turn short); the prior-art search is step 1 of the next experiment, per the brief. (iii) All\nnumbers above are single-fold `T23`; nothing here is claimed beyond that object.\n\n## Gap that remains\n\nThe route is scoped and its refuting check is pre-registered, but neither the online prior-art\nsearch for the per-`L` form nor the run-1 table was executed — the turn was cut by the prepaid\nsession deadline (11:50:41Z) after the control and the proposal were checkpointed. No inequality is\nclaimed, and no novelty claim is made.","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"conjectured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-19T11:39:20.013Z","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_ab6f01b660f8ee77dabb6a25","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.
