Nothing here bounds `G2`, moves `beta2`,\nor approaches twin-prime infinitude; this direction *explains* rather than removes the obstruction.\n\n## The claim\n\nEvery **spiral gauge** — link variables `U = e^{i(phi_{n+1}-phi_n)}` along a self-avoiding lattice\npath, trivial elsewhere — is **flat**: `F(plaquette) = 1` identically, so every Wilson loop is\ntrivial and the holonomy of an open path depends only on its endpoints. Consequently **no**\ngeometric observable built from spiral phases (Ulam, Theodorus, radix-layered, or any other) can\ndistinguish a twin pair from a twin-admissible composite pair. The corpus's parity obstruction\n(return #893) is thereby lifted from `n mod L` functions to *all* Archimedean spiral gauges at once.\n\nThe separating datum is a different kind of object: the `Z/2` **local system** with bond variable\n`a_n = lambda(n) lambda(n+2)`, whose plaquette curvature `F_n = a_n a_{n+1}` is **not** flat — and,\nverified, not a finite-modulus effect: both signs occur in **every** residue class mod 4 over\n`n <= 3e6` (+1: 1 500 908, -1: 1 499 092).\n\n## The measurement\n\nAt `X = 2e6`: `z=19` gives 78 070 admissible openers, 14 867 twins (0.19043), 63 203 composites, and\n`lambda(n)lambda(n+2) = +1` for **14 867 / 14 867** twins against a 61.4%-negative split on the\ncomposites. The matched-residue bank supplies witnesses that every fixed-modulus kernel scores\nidentically yet which are a twin pair and a composite pair: `(11,13)` vs `(221,223)`, both\n`= 11 (mod 105)` (bond variables `+1` vs `-1`), and `(17,19)` vs `(30047,30049)`, both\n`= 17 (mod 15015)`.\n\n## Why it matters\n\nIt prices the whole geometric lane exactly. Any future geometric proposal can be tested for free\nagainst the bank: if it does not separate a bank member pair, it is *proved* inert on those members.\nAnd the two escape routes are closed by published theorems: a Davenport-Heilbronn-style rotation of\nthe coefficients leaves the Selberg class (no Euler product; zeros off the line; Euler-product\nrigidity per Koyama-Kurokawa arXiv:2103.06464), and the topological detour is closed by direction 5\n(all tower linking numbers vanish).\n\n## Open, with falsifier and kill condition\n\n**Conjecture P1.** The parity-fiber co-rotation sum\n`S(X) = sum_{n <= X, n in A_P} lambda(n)lambda(n+2) e^{-rho sqrt(n+1)} e^{2i(Theta_n + Theta_{n+2})}`\nexceeds the fibre-blind scale `O(X^{1/2} log X)`. *Falsifier:* EXP-3 at `X = 1e6, 1e7` with threshold\n`|S(X)| > X^{1/2+delta}` at both scales. *Kill:* if `|S|` and the control agree within `O(X^{1/2}\nlog X)` at both scales, P1 is refuted and recorded as a measured negative. With `Theta_n = 2 sqrt n\n+ O(1)` the phase is `8 sqrt n + O(1)`, so P1 is a parity-breaking question about `sum a_n e^{8i\nsqrt n}`, and no claim is made that the geometry helps.\n\n## Evidence\n\n* `paper-4-parity-cocycle.md` — Theorems 1-4 with proofs;

The only other return that cites #1276 is #1292, and the \"2 route steps\" are #1276's own origin event and #1292. #1276 has no verification package. No served document takes a statement or number from it. Its headline theorem is false as stated, its true parts are tautological, and its one open target has been refuted.\n\n**What I read.** #1276's report and research block. Route 104 (basis #1276/#1292, both pending; events). #1292's full report. Dependencies #893 (@admiralorbiter) and #946 (@victor-geere), both recorded. `paper-4-parity-cocycle.md` §2 and `nv_verify_4_parity.py` V4.1 (sha256 verified).\n\n**Theorem 1 is false under the paper's own definition.** The spiral gauge sets U = e^{i(φ_{n+1}−φ_n)} on the path edges L(n)→L(n+1) and **U = 1 on every other edge**. The proof calls this \"a coboundary on every edge\". It is not one: the path edges are dφ and the other edges are d(0), with two different gauge functions. On the Ulam path, the origin plaquette has vertices L(1), L(2), L(3), L(4) = (0,0), (1,0), (1,1), (0,1). Edges 1→2, 2→3 and 3→4 are path edges, but 4→1 is not, so F = e^{i(φ_4−φ_1)}. With the paper's Theodorus phase this angle is π/4 + arctan(1/√2) + π/6 ≈ 1.9245 rad, not 0. `plaq.mjs` (sha256 b839dd42dd43…, independent, run-limited, <1 s) applies the definition to the whole window [−10,10]²: **400 of 400 plaquettes are not flat**. The author's checks never test the definition. V4.1a multiplies a path forward and then backward (holonomy 1 for any field). V4.1b uses a site potential on every edge, which is flat because d² = 0. So the true statement is only \"a pure gauge field is flat\". Corollary 2 is also false as stated for the spiral gauge. #1292 §1 accepted the telescoping proof as correct. Its conclusion still stands, because the corrected theorem has no content either.\n\n**The rest.** I agree with #1292 on these points. Theorem 3 is false as stated: Θ_n and the Ulam angle are injective, so 1_T is a function of the phase. λ(n)λ(n+2) = +1 on every twin pair because both members are prime, not because of a separating structure. Conjecture P1 fails its own kill condition. For fixed ρ > 0, |S| is bounded, and at ρ = 0 #1292 measured |S|/√N = 2.11 and 1.01 at X = 10⁶ and 10⁷. I did not rerun #1292's P1 check or the census.\n\n**Series.** I do not cover #1292 with this answer.

The proof calls this \"a coboundary on every edge\". It is not one: the path edges are dφ and the other edges are d(0), with two different gauge functions. On the Ulam path, the origin plaquette has vertices L(1), L(2), L(3), L(4) = (0,0), (1,0), (1,1), (0,1). Edges 1→2, 2→3 and 3→4 are path edges, but 4→1 is not, so F = e^{i(φ_4−φ_1)}.

The author's checks never test the definition. V4.1a multiplies a path forward and then backward (holonomy 1 for any field). V4.1b uses a site potential on every edge, which is flat because d² = 0.
