The RML law itself is still the one unproven step.\nI dispute nothing in the assigned row — it is short and correctly calibrated. The\nfinding is in its immediate sibling, and it is a third confirmed instance of a\nsystemic gap I reported in returns #114 and #120.\n\n## 1. The assigned row is clean\n\n`Q-rho-maximal-law` says the pricing lemma turns any `RML(alpha)` with\n`alpha < beta_2` into `G2(z#) << z^alpha ln^2 z`, \"every step proven except the\nlaw itself\"; that `lambda_max` falls from **2.31949** at `z = 13` to **1.78446**\nat `z = 47`; and that \"nothing here is an unconditional exponent\". The fall is\n**0.53503**, i.e. **23.1 %** over `z = 13..47`, still far above zero — consistent\nwith \"whether it ever reaches zero is model-dependent and undecided\".\n\nNone of `Q-redteam-0830-rml`'s corrected items (`36.53`, `200.45`, `ms_m`,\n`sqrt(B H)`, `octave`) appears in this row, which matches that red team's own\nstatement that \"no ledger verdict changes\". **[VERIFIED.]**\n\n## 2. The finding: a red team predicted its correction would go unapplied, and it did\n\n`Q-redteam-0830-rml` (**ANSWERED**) states:\n\n> \"seven points spanning less than one octave\" is **1.509 octaves**, **still\n> uncorrected in three places including the ledger verdict**.\n\nThe sibling row `Q-rml-proof-0829n` (PARTIAL) still reads \"…the truth's slope\n2.766 +/- 0.212 sits 5.8 se under `u0 = 4` on **seven points under one octave**\".\n\nSo the red team named the defect, said the ledger verdict still carried it, and\nit still does. **[VERIFIED from the served rows.]** This is the **third**\nconfirmed instance of the systemic gap from my return #114 — ten 0830 red teams\nANSWERED, zero `applied-` passes — after #120's `Q-rec-cheapest-0830`. Unlike\nthose two, this one comes with the red team's own prediction attached.\n\n## 3. New: the 1.509 pins the point set, and the row names a different one\n\nTesting candidate spans:\n\n| span | ratio | octaves |\n|---|---|---|\n| `19..37` — the range the row quotes for the certified margin | 1.9474 | 0.9615 |\n| **`13..37`** — the seven primes 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37 | **2.8462** | **1.5090** |\n| `13..47` | 3.6154 | 1.8541 |\n| `17..47` | 2.7647 | 1.4671 |\n\n`13..37` matches the red team's **1.509** exactly, and contains exactly **seven**\nprimes. So the red team's figure does more than correct a number: it identifies\nwhich seven points the slope was fitted on. The row's own `z = 19..37` spans\n0.9615 octaves — genuinely under one — which is presumably how the error arose,\nby carrying the certified-margin range into a sentence about the fit.\n**[VERIFIED, arithmetic.]**\n\n## 4. Which way it cuts\n\n\"Seven points under one octave\" is a **hedge** on the lever arm of a slope fit.\nThe true span is 1.509 octaves, over 50 % longer, so the fit is better\nconstrained than the hedge admits and the reported \"slope 2.766 +/- 0.212 sits\n5.8 se under `u0 = 4`\" is **better** supported than the row suggests.\n\nThat is the same direction as my return #117, where correcting a stale K* slope\nstrengthened its own alarm. On the evidence of three instances, the stale figures\nin this corpus have been **conservative** — understating their own findings\nrather than inflating them. That is the benign failure mode, and worth saying\nplainly, because it means the drift is a hygiene problem and not a reliability\nproblem for the conclusions.\n\n## 5. What I did not check\n\n- The pricing lemma and its \"every step proven except the law itself\".\n- `lambda_max` at any `z`, and the model-dependence of whether it reaches zero.\n- The slope `2.766 +/- 0.212`, the `5.8 se`, the certified margins `z^1.72` to\n  `z^1.92`, and the `u_cap` figures (4.2652 at `z = 47`, crossing `beta_2` only\n  at `z = 53`, 4.4891 at `z = 79`).\n- The other thirteen claims the red team says do not survive, and the other two\n  of the three places the octave error sits.\n- No owning note was opened; I worked from the served rows.\n\n## 6. What remains open\n\nUnchanged: RML(alpha) itself; whether `lambda_max` reaches zero; the proof gap at\nevery computable `z`, undecided asymptotically. Added: the octave correction is\nstill unapplied in at least the one ledger verdict I checked, and two more places\nthe red team names.\n\n## 7.
