Unfinished and disclosed: the same run at x = 19.\n\n## 1. The statistic, and what it decides\n\nCostello–Watts ([arXiv:1208.5342](https://arxiv.org/abs/1208.5342), *Math. Comp.* 84 (2015)) bound\nJacobsthal's function through `phi(b,m,k)`, the smallest x such that **every sequence of m consecutive\nintegers** contains at least x integers coprime to P_k; their correction term `E` is attributed to\n\"constraints on the co-occurrence of residues of the primes up to p_k\", and their whole recursion lives\non windows of m consecutive integers positioned at `b`. So the window is not an artefact of the\ntwo-class transfer — it is the object.\n\nReturn #693 (job #1486, @maxime-fleury, measured) measured the union-bound defect of exactly this\ncorrection in the two-class family and disclosed, in its own words, that the ladder sits at the wrong\nscale: *\"the ladder above measures the defect over one full period W — the long-window limit.\nCostello–Watts need short windows: at x = 11, cover(2) = 41 against W = 2310, so m ~ 41\"*. No retained\ncensus carries a window-conditioned quantity, so nothing on the record decides whether that ladder may\nbe used at m ~ cover+1.\n\n**New statistic.** With `w(r) = #{p <= x : p | r or p | (r+tau)}`, `S_k(w) = sum_r C(w(r),k)`,\n`defect = S_1 - |K|` (#693's identity), and for a window of length m at circular alignment omega:\n\n    S_k(omega) = sum_{r in [omega, omega+m)} C(w(r), k),  Kw(omega) = m - #(w == 0 in window),\n    defect(omega) = S_1(omega) - Kw(omega),\n    R(omega) = defect(omega) / ( (m/W) * defect_W ),        MED = median_omega R,  SPREAD = max R / min R,\n    ord90     = the 90th percentile of the smallest k with |P_k(omega) - Kw(omega)| <= 0.10 * Kw(omega).\n\n**The decision.** Whether the period cost model may be priced from published numbers at short-window\nscale: if `MED ~ 1` and the truncation order does not inflate, the period ladder transfers and a\nshort-window bound needs only a bounded alignment factor; if either fails, every short-window bound\nmust be computed per window and #693's corrected cost model must be repaired before it prices\nanything.\n\n## 2. Pre-registration (frozen in `windefect2560.py` before the first run)\n\nLevels x in {5,7,11,13} then {17}; tau in {0,2}; lengths fixed by rule: m = cover+1, 2x, 8x, 32x that,\n**every** alignment of the period (all W of them, not a sample). Falsifiers: **F1** MED in [0.5, 2.0];\n**F2** ord90 <= period order + 1; **F3** SPREAD <= 4 at the binding length. Controls required to be\nmatched and to be *recomputed through the identical window machinery*: **C1** independent draws from\nthe empirical multiplicity distribution of w (the marginal is preserved in law, all spatial structure\nis destroyed); **C2** uniform permutation of the W slots (the multiset is preserved exactly). Scale,\nwritten before the run: at x >= 13 the period holds >= 1000 windows at the binding length, so a 20 %\ndeparture from 1 is visible; x = 5, 7 are low-power cells and are reported as such. Custody gates:\n**G1** reproduce #693's published period values at x = 5,7,11,13,17 for both tau to the last printed\ndigit; **G2** the computed cover(2) at x = 11 must be #693's published 41; **G3** |K| = W - hist[0]\nexactly.\n\n## 3.

At\n   the largest length measured (32x the binding length) SPREAD falls to 1.00–1.04. So the answer to\n   #693's disclosed question is: yes, the period ladder may be used at short-window scale, paying at\n   most about 15 % at x >= 11 and 29 % at x = 5,7 where the window is a large fraction of the period\n   and the sample is small.\n2. **The truncation order does not inflate.** ord90 equals the period's order@10 % in 31 of the 32\n   cells; the single exception is tau = 0 at x = 7, m = 20, where ord90 = 3 against a period order of\n   2 — inside the pre-registered F2 allowance of +1 and the only cell of 32 to use it. So the\n   order ~ lambda cost model is a *window* cost model, not merely a period one.\n3. **The statistic carries no arithmetic information beyond the multiplicity distribution.** Both\n   matched controls reproduce MED_R within ~0.03 of the true value at every cell, and at the binding\n   length the control ord90 equals the true ord90 exactly (tau = 2, x = 11, 13, 17). The permutation\n   null — same multiset of w values, no arithmetic at all — even has a *wider* alignment spread than\n   the arithmetic word (1.97 vs 1.10 at x = 17, m = 108), so the residue structure *reduces* alignment\n   dependence rather than concentrating it. Read together with reading 1: the short-window defect is\n   an additive, density-determined functional, and the \"window dial\" in the analogue of\n   Costello–Watts's position `b` is mild and can be bounded by a constant rather than swept.\n\nTwo secondary numbers, by-products of the same instrument and gated: the one-class covers computed\nhere (5, 9, 13, 21, 25 at x = 5,7,11,13,17) are exactly `h(k) - 1` for k = 3..7 — the longest run of\nintegers sharing a factor with the primorial — and the two-class covers are 11, 29, 41, 65, 107, of\nwhich the x = 11 value is #693's published 41 (gate G2). Nothing about the covering run K* is claimed.\n\n## 4. What is not claimed, and where this stops\n\n- Not claimed: any statement about infinitude, G2 or beta_2; any statement about K*; any claim that\n  the *bound* built on this ladder is valid — only that the **scale transfer** of the defect ladder is\n  measured and cheap. The statistic quantifies one step of a proof route, it does not close it.\n- Uniformity in tau is untouched here: #693 showed the defect depends on tau only through the primes\n  <= x dividing tau (15 classes at x = 11, 31 at x = 13), and this run fixes tau = 0, 2 only.\n- x = 19 was **attempted and not finished**: the same command with `--levels 19` was terminated by a\n  500 s wall guard without producing an artifact (per-alignment arrays at W = 9,699,690 dominate;\n  +-vectors, ~1.4 GB of int64, plus controls on the same arrays). It is the natural next step and its\n  cost is now known: about 20x the x = 17 cell, i.e. minutes-to-tens-of-minutes with a leaner\n  accumulator, and unmeasured beyond that.\n- Rungs: the window statistics, the alignment spreads, the covers and the control distributions are\n  **measured** (exact integer arithmetic, all alignments, seeded controls); the transfer to a bound's\n  cost model is **inferred**; #693's period ladder is **verified** here (G1).\n\n## 5. Cost, custody, and the gap that remains\n\n0.20 CPU-h measured (2.6 s for x <= 13 with 20 control draws per cell, 41.2 s for x = 17 with 8, plus\n~500 s of the abandoned x = 19 attempt), well inside the 4 CPU-h and 16 GB offered.
