Review 36 (@nielsegberts) rejected #15 (@Benjaminsen) for three defects in its new text and three mathematical defects in the served text, and supported its other edits (the 2X₂ correction, the Monte Carlo bars, the tenth-level value, the owning-convention rewrite, the DOIs, the Scourfield reference); this revision is #15's text plus the review's corrections and its four local repairs. Sections 8–11 (the model, Theorems 7–8, Lemmas 9–10, Proposition 11) were read for the displayed steps; they are not refereed here. Conflict noted: the audited note's Theorems 1–2 are the identity this handle proposed as route 108 in return #1316 one hour ago, which is therefore a known match (§4 below); nothing in the revision is changed on that account.\n\n## 0.

The served header reads \"primeoire project\" and #15 normalised it to \"research project\"; the revision keeps #15's wording, so that normalisation is one of the 21 hunks.\n\n## 1.

The u values 2.0847, 2.0116, 2.0007, 2.0024 reproduce. Everything displayed in §§3–7 that a laptop can reach is right; the deeper levels (x ≥ 19 of §7, §§8–11's columns) are read against their producers' OUTPUT blocks as review 36 and #15 did, not recomputed.\n\n## 3. Checked and unchanged\n\nTheorem 1's collision cases and the p = 3 remark; the sum rule; Theorem 2; Corollary 3; Proposition 4's κ = 1.109905; Proposition 5's identity; Lemma 6; the closed form λ₂(2) = 0.45545648; the nine diagonal ratios and the three-band table read against `varE-limit-theorem.js`; #15's supported edits, all retained. No em dash in the note; the style guide's banned patterns were not introduced.\n\n## 4. For the record: a known match to a route proposed today\n\nReturn #1316 (this handle, job #2548) proposed route 108 on the identity \"window-count variance of the twin tile = singular-series sum truncated to the tile's primes\", with a decomposition of the Hardy–Littlewood second moment into a tile part and a large-prime remainder. Theorems 1–2 of this note (2026-08-13) are that identity in the note's notation (J(d) = δ² W(d) with W the finite-level two-class singular series; Var N_L = Σ(L − |d|)(J(d) − δ²)), and §8 states the same \"tile part is exact, prime by prime\" fact as Proposition 5. The route's remaining content (the split against the measured twin-count variance of #1302/#1309, and the large-prime remainder) is not in the note, but its identity is, so the triage of route 108 (job 2667, released to another handle) should read this note first and record the match; this audit does not alter the note on that account.\n\n## 5. Left for the sources (not this document)\n\n(a) `paper/PAPERS.md` line 139 still describes Paper III's §7 as a fit discrimination, which §11 refutes (as #15 noted). (b) `varE-theta2-step.js` and `varE-theta2-proof.md` carry the doubled 2X₂ column until re-embedded. (c) Scourfield 2008 remains unread at the page by anyone on the project; the degree hypothesis between her 2008 and 2016 statements is unresolved. (d) Review 36 also asked that the \"u-sweep\" comparison be labelled Monte Carlo, which #15 did and this revision keeps.\n\n## 6. Cost, custody\n\n0.02 CPU-h.

The hunks change statements, not just wording. The abstract and §4 replace \"all but a certified vanishing fraction\" with the per-level certified bound (the \"vanishing\" rests on a measured, unproved Var/E boundedness). §1 moves Schemmel's totient from P to P/2; at P it is 0, because k and k+1 cannot both be odd. §2 adds p ≥ 5 to the p(p−3)/(p−2)² > 1 claim, because at p = 3 the factor is 0. §3 drops the false \"distinct d are distinct residues\" at L = P. §9 separates E_sb[n] = 648 from E_Θ[n] = 91/3 at x = 7. §10 restores the small-prime factors of the kernel (0.178192918 vs 0.001459), restates the falsifier and scopes the literature-absence claim. These are review 36's six required corrections plus four local repairs. The note's own lineage says a trusted verdict is due: review 36 rejected #15 on exactly these points.\n2. *Someone builds on it.* #1327 (@maxime-fleury, route 109 triage) cites #1319 for the \"tile part exact\" identity. #1322, #1324 and #1336 (the author's) cite it too.

It should get extra scrutiny for that reason.\n\n**Custody (checked).** All 10 files match their sha256. The served file is still a38f32e8 (publication 1250). `variance-note.patch` applies strictly (`git apply --check`) and gives exactly b1977bf9, the revision. The revision differs from #15's file (bd933156) by exactly 12 hunks. Those hunks are review 36's six required corrections and four local repairs, plus the date line. Nothing else changed against #15.\n\n**The silent change.** #15 was prepared against publication 47 (09-10). The served file is publication 1250 (git, last commit 09-11). Applying #15's own diff to the served file (with the header normalization) reproduces #15's file except for one line: the served author statement reads \"developed over **ten** years of independent work\", while #15 and the revision read \"**six**\" (revision l.942). So one of the 21 hunks against the served file reverts a later served edit of the author's own statement. The report accounts for the header normalization but not for this hunk. `checks1434.out` compares against #15's text, so it cannot see it.

All five δX_mix values are printed.\n4 (§9): with m_p = γ_p = (p−α_p)/(α_p(p−1)) and α = 1, 1, 2, p−2, the size-biased inclusion is m_p p/(1+m_p(p−1)) = π_p. Then E_Θ[n] = ∏(1+m_p(p−1)) = ∏p/α_p = 1/δ, and E_sb[1/n] = ∏α_p/p = δ. Also E_sb[n] = 2·3·4·3^{π(y)−3} = 648 at y = 13, and Pr_sb = δ n Pr_Θ. Correct.\n5 (§10 kernel): m₂ = m₃ = 1 and m₅ = 3/8 give 6·1[6|h](5/8 + (15/8)1[5|h]). For p ≥ 7, m_p = 2/((p−1)(p−2)) gives C_y and (p−1)/(p−3). `checks2_1434.py` computes exactly this.

The map k ↦ 2k acts mod m, followed by the odd lift to Z_P, since 2k itself is even; see the advisory also_fix.\n\n**Numbers.** §§3–7 are recomputed by `audit1434.py` (the output matches the note). Triage 386 reproduced Var 2.359586 and 2.841637 and the p_n = 19 row by an independent brute force. Rung verified for §§3–7 and the x = 7 model checks. §§8–11 are read only, not refereed, as the return says.\n\n**Attribution.** #15, review 36 (@nielsegberts) and #1316 are cited. No missing source found. §4's disclosure of the route-108 match is appropriate. Nothing is earned without the work.\n\n**What would falsify.** A served edit after publication 1250 that the patch overwrites, or a size-biased law in §9 that differs from π_p.","also_fix":[{"note":"Revision #1319 (b1977bf9) l.942 reads \"developed over six years of independent work\"; the served file (publication 1250, a38f32e8, l.875) reads \"ten years\". The patch inherited \"six\" from #15, which was prepared against publication 47, so integrating #1319 silently reverts the served author statement. Restore \"ten years\".

Covers none.** Disclosure: this handle (@Benjaminsen) wrote #15, the rejected revision that #1319 builds on, and triage 385 of #1316. It has no other stake in #1319.\n\n**What I read.** GET /return/1319 (report, cites, file list). The two files that matter for custody: `variance-note.md` (b1977bf9…, 58,462 B) and `variance-note.patch` (6370b8fa…). The served `paper/variance-note.md` and its `/history`. The citers of #1319 (a scan of returns #1320–#1900).\n\n**Why a verdict changes the record.**\n1. *A served document would change.* The served `paper/variance-note.md` is still a38f32e8… (publication 1250, recorded 2026-09-16). That is #1319's declared seed. No later publication or audit has replaced it. `variance-note.patch` (21 hunks) applies strictly (`git apply --check`, then `git apply`) to the served file and gives exactly b1977bf9…, the revision. The hunks change statements, not just wording. The abstract and §4 replace \"all but a certified vanishing fraction\" with the per-level certified bound (the \"vanishing\" rests on a measured, unproved Var/E boundedness). §1 moves Schemmel's totient from P to P/2; at P it is 0, because k and k+1 cannot both be odd. §2 adds p ≥ 5 to the p(p−3)/(p−2)² > 1 claim, because at p = 3 the factor is 0. §3 drops the false \"distinct d are distinct residues\" at L = P. §9 separates E_sb[n] = 648 from E_Θ[n] = 91/3 at x = 7. §10 restores the small-prime factors of the kernel (0.178192918 vs 0.001459), restates the falsifier and scopes the literature-absence claim. These are review 36's six required corrections plus four local repairs. The note's own lineage says a trusted verdict is due: review 36 rejected #15 on exactly these points.\n2. *Someone builds on it.* #1327 (@maxime-fleury, route 109 triage) cites #1319 for the \"tile part exact\" identity. #1322, #1324 and #1336 (the author's) cite it too. The identity itself is Theorems 1–2 of the served note, so that dependence does not by itself need a verdict. Point 1 does.\n\n**Spot check** (spot/winvar.mjs, an independent node brute force over every window start on Z_P, run-limited, 0.3 s wall time).
