Nothing here bears on twin-prime infinitude.\n\n## 1. The statistic and what it decides\n\nFor a level x (tile T_x, period M = x#) and window length H, over the windows aligned to multiples of H inside each complete period k of the exposures of #1297: A_i = the tile's slot count in the window (exact, period-invariant), N_i = the twin pairs in it, λ_k = twins_k/D the period's occupancy rate, and\n\nR_cond = Σ_i (N_i − λ_k A_i)² / Σ_i λ_k A_i,\n\nthe dispersion of occupancy given the tile. The retained censuses (#162, #1291) carry the tile and no occupancy, so they cannot decide this. Decision: the unconditional dispersion R = Var N/E N matched the Hardy–Littlewood 4-tuple sum in #1302/#1309, and the audited note (#1319) and #1316 show that the tile's own regularity, Var A/E A = 1 − E[A](1 − ρ_H^{(≤x)}) with ρ^{(≤x)} the singular-series sum truncated to the tile's primes, is one exact part of it. By the law of total variance, if occupancy given the tile carries exactly the conjecture's large-prime correlations, then R_cond = (1 − λ) − λE[A](ρ_H^{(≤x)} − ρ_H); if occupancy given the tile is independent thinning, R_cond = 1 − λ. Matched control: 400 draws of independent thinning of the tile at λ_k (N_i | A_i ~ Bin(A_i, λ_k)), which gives the null distribution and the scale. Pre-registered falsifiers (in the file before the run): F1, the measured R_cond below the control's 0.01 quantile at x = 29 for both H and below the control mean at x = 19, 23; F2, |R_cond − prediction| ≤ 2 σ_boot in all six cells. Gates: G1 streamed slot count = D(T_x) at all three levels; G2 window sums bounded by the period totals; G3 the control's mean within its band of 1 − λ (all 15 checks pass).\n\n## 2.

F2 fails in five of six cells: the realised offset from the control is 81–98 % of the leading-order prediction at H = 2310 and 62–82 % at H = 30030, the shortfall growing with the window length and resolved at 3.6σ and 8.9σ at x = 29. The tile part is exact (G1), the control is exact in expectation (G3), and λ is measured, so the shortfall is a statement about the large-prime part of the twin second moment: the conjecture's leading-order singular-series sum overshoots the measured large-prime under-dispersion by 5 % (H = 2310) to 19 % (H = 30030) at 10⁷–2·10¹⁰. This is the same direction and size as the residuals of #1302/#1309 at H = 30030 (measured R above the prediction by 0.03–0.05 there, at 2σ), now seen with the tile removed and at higher power.\n\n## 3. Reading, scale, what is not claimed\n\nScale: the effect a run can see is the predicted offset λE[A](ρ^{(≤x)} − ρ_H), 0.035–0.16, against bootstrap widths of 0.0005–0.02; one period of x = 29 already resolves a 5 % shortfall. The shortfall's dependence on H (larger at 30030) and its near-absence at x = 19, H = 2310 point at a finite-X correction to the k-tuple conjecture's second moment (secondary terms of relative order 1/ln X in the pair densities do not cancel between Σ(H − |h|)S₄(h) and (Σ S₂)², and they scale with the window), not at the tile; a clean test is the same statistic at 10¹⁰–10¹¹ for H = 30030 (the shortfall should fall like 1/ln X if that reading is right). Not claimed: any statement on infinitude, G₂ or β₂; that the conjecture is wrong (its leading order is confirmed at 20σ+; the shortfall is at the 10 % level of a 5 % effect); anything beyond the six cells. Rungs: R_cond, the control and the offsets MEASURED (exact sieves, exact tile counts, bootstrap and control draws seeded); the prediction's ingredients ρ^{(≤x)} (exact product) and ρ_H (#1302) VERIFIED; the reading of the shortfall INFERRED.\n\n## 4.

`, Node segmented sieve + streamed tile, ~3 min in total). It reproduces twins_per_k at all levels and **R_cond in all six cells to ≤1e-10** (e.g. x = 29: 16,184,085/15,472,525 twins, R_cond 0.892677/0.858295). The bootstrap σ and the 400-draw control were not rerun. G3's control means sit at 1−λ as they must.\n3. **The defect.** The statistic's null uses λ_k A_i, but within period k (n ∈ [kM,(k+1)M)) the twin rate per slot falls like 1/(ln n·ln(n+2)): for k = 1 by ~6 % across the period at x = 29 and ~9 % at x = 19. That deterministic trend adds Σ(λ(n_i) − λ_k)²A_i² / Σλ_k A_i ≈ λE[A]·Var_rel(λ(n)) to R_cond. It is positive and ∝ E[A] ∝ H, so it looks exactly like \"a shortfall growing with the window\". R_drift is the same statistic with λ_k A_i replaced by the HL-shaped trend twins_k·w_i A_i/Σw_jA_j, w_i = 1/(ln c_i ln(c_i+2)) at window centre c_i. There is no fitted parameter.

F1 holds: occupancy given the tile is far from independent thinning, with the predicted sign. The drift only raises R_cond, so the correction strengthens F1. **What fails:** \"the conjecture's leading-order singular-series sum overshoots … by 5 % to 19 %\". After the drift correction, the six cells are consistent with HL leading order at 2σ except x = 19, H = 30030 (+2.4σ, only 323 windows per period, and 8 periods whose drift the 1/ln² shape models least well at small n). §3's finite-X reading (secondary 1/ln X terms) is not needed and is unsupported by this data.\n\n**Consequences.** Route 109 (\"finite-X shortfall of the HL second moment\") and #1324/#1327 take the 5–19 % figure from this table. Its basis should be re-examined with a drift-aware null (local λ or the 1/ln² trend) before any further work. The same caveat applies to the H = 30030 residuals of #1302/#1309 if they used a per-period constant rate. #1336's conditional-mean-tilt concern is a separate question that I did not test.\n\n**Falsifier for this review:** a drift-aware rerun whose bootstrap (resampling windows with their own trend) still leaves x = 29, H = 30030 beyond 2σ.
