Result; next step samples D = 135.\n\n**Caveat first.** Exact combinatorics on one finite class (T_7's gap multiset, 90,090 cyclic words) with #986's fold convention; nothing about the exponent, the margin, or infinitude; the fold tests sample up to 200 ambiguous buckets per family (the spectrum and the 4-deck separation are exhaustive). Files: `spectrum1868.py` (instrument; definitions, pre-registration and controls in its docstring), `spectrum1868.json` (spectrum, fold tests with example pairs, deck results), `spectrum1868.out`, `spectrum1868.log`, `evidence1868.md`, `prior_art1868.md`.\n\n## 1. Controls (all pass)\n\nNecklaces 90,090 (45,150 dihedral classes); #986's bucket/ambiguous counts at k = 2, 3, 4 reproduced (257/235, 2586/2197, 6538/4443); the duality S_{15−k}(W) = {210 − s : s ∈ S_k(W)} holds for every word; fold(T_7) is dihedral-equivalent to the true T_11 word; #986's length-7 pair still refutes at k = 2; and the fold is rotation-independent up to dihedral on 300/300 sampled synthetic words, so it is well defined on the class.\n\n## 2. (A) The k-spectrum and the fold\n\n| k | buckets | ambiguous (≥ 2 dihedral classes) | fold test (pairs tested / folded S_k differ / folded words non-dihedral) |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 / 1 / 1 |\n| 2 | 257 | 235 | 200 / 194 / 200 |\n| 3 | 2,586 | 2,197 | 200 / 189 / 200 |\n| 4 | 6,538 | 4,443 | 200 / 200 / 200 |\n| 5 | 7,602 | 5,067 | 200 / 200 / 200 |\n| 6 | **9,935** | 5,623 | 200 / 200 / 200 |\n| 7 | 4,770 | 3,800 | 200 / 200 / 200 |\n| 8…14 | mirror of 7…1 (duality) | | same |\n\nNo k separates the class (minimum 3,800 ambiguous buckets, at k = 7 and 8), and no k carries the fold: in every tested ambiguous bucket the two words fold to non-dihedral words. The resolving power peaks at k = 6 and 9, not at floor(D/2) = 7 as the route predicted: S_7 and S_8 are dual images of each other and coarser than S_6.\n\n## 3. (B) Non-deck families\n\n- Positional window sums {(i, sum of window i)}: the word under a circulant map, size D, not a compression; not run.\n- Cyclic k-deck of subsequences over all rotations (Scott's object, 4^k counts): k = 2: 4,253 buckets, 3,609 ambiguous, fold refuted 200/200; k = 3: 89,246 buckets, 772 ambiguous, fold refuted 200/200; **k = 4: 90,090 buckets, 0 ambiguous**: the cyclic 4-deck determines the necklace (and distinguishes a word from its reversal). Scott's linear bound √(n log n) ≈ 6.4 is not tight for this class. So the fold factors through the 4-deck at D = 15 only in the trivial sense that the 4-deck reconstructs the word, at size 256 > D.\n\n## 4. What changes\n\n- Route 71's closure-through-S_k branch is refuted at D = 15 for the entire family, quantitatively (the table); the route's \"existence half\" worry is settled in the opposite direction: ambiguity is abundant and it is the fold that separates the members.\n- The corrected reason for the chaining closure at D = 15 reads: within deck families, the fold's minimal state is a summary that reconstructs the word; whether the reconstructing index grows with D (Scott's theory says it must in general) is the `next_step`, by sampling at D = 135 with three pre-registered falsifiers.\n- The route's peak-at-7 heuristic should be replaced by \"peak at the largest k below D/2 whose window sums are not dual-degenerate\", measured 6 here.\n\nRungs: spectrum and 4-deck separation VERIFIED (exhaustive); fold refutations MEASURED (200 pairs per family); controls reproduced.

(B) The cyclic 4-deck of subsequences (Scott's object over all rotations) separates the whole class (90,090 buckets for 90,090 necklaces), so at D = 15 the fold factors through it trivially, but as a reconstruction, not a compression: it is a 256-integer vector against a 15-letter word, and its separating index is expected to grow with D.\n\nInstrument (spectrum1868.py, numpy, 158 s): all 90,090 necklaces of the multiset 6^3 12^8 18^2 30^2 enumerated as canonical rotations (45,150 dihedral classes); S_k for every k from prefix sums of the doubled word; buckets by np.unique; ambiguity = a bucket holding >= 2 dihedral classes; fold = #986's word-fold at q = 11 from the canonical rotation.

The family's resolving power peaks at k = 6 and 9 (9,935 buckets of 90,090), NOT at k = floor(D/2) = 7 (4,770): the route's prediction of a peak at 7 is wrong at D = 15, because S_7 and S_8 are dual images of each other and coarser than S_6. At every k at least 3,800 buckets are ambiguous, i.e. no k separates. Fold test, up to 200 ambiguous buckets per k, one non-dihedral pair each: the folded words are never dihedral-equivalent (200/200 at every k from 2 to 13; 1/1 at k = 1 and 14), and the folded S_k differ in 194/200 (k = 2), 189/200 (k = 3) and 200/200 (k >= 4) pairs. So the fold does not factor through S_k for any k: the route's closure-through-S_k branch is refuted at D = 15 for the whole family.\n\n(B) Cyclic k-deck of subsequences over all 15 rotations, encoded on the 4-letter alphabet (4^k counts): k = 2: 4,253 buckets, 3,609 ambiguous, fold refuted 200/200; k = 3: 89,246 buckets, 772 ambiguous, fold refuted 200/200 (and every tested pair's folded words are non-dihedral); k = 4: 90,090 buckets, 0 ambiguous: the cyclic 4-deck determines the necklace (it even separates a word from its reversal). Scott's linear bound k >= (1+o(1)) sqrt(n log n) = 6.4 at n = 15 is not tight for this class; 4 suffices here. Consequence for the route: within the deck families tested, the only summary through which the fold factors at D = 15 is one that reconstructs the word, at size 4^4 = 256 > D; the positional window-sum family is the word itself under a circulant map and is not a compression (not run).\n\nWhat changes. The closure row's corrected reason can now be stated quantitatively at D = 15: the fold's state is not any summed k-deck (all 14 fail, with 3,800-5,623 ambiguous buckets and a refuting pair in every tested one), and the smallest subsequence deck that carries it is the one that reconstructs the word. The route's \"existence half\" worry is settled the other way: ambiguity is abundant (at k = 6, 5,623 buckets hold two or more dihedral classes), and it is the fold that separates them, not the summary. Not established: k*(D) growth (D = 135 cannot be enumerated; next_step samples it), any non-deck compression, anything about the exponent. Rungs: spectrum and 4-deck separation VERIFIED (exhaustive); fold refutations MEASURED (200 pairs per k); no twin-prime claim.","prior_art_md":"Online search updated 2026-09-22 (the route's 2026-09-18 search is reused; one new query on the cyclic k-deck / necklace reconstruction). Owning convention, confirmed: sequence reconstruction from the k-deck (the multiset of length-k subsequences). A. D. Scott, \"Reconstructing sequences\", Discrete Math. 175 (1997) 231-238 (author PDF people.maths.ox.ac.uk/scott/Papers/recseq.pdf): every sequence of length n is reconstructible from its k-deck for k >= (1+o(1)) sqrt(n log n); the paper also poses the CYCLIC version (a necklace from the multiset of necklaces obtained by deleting n-k beads) and, per the summary read this turn, records that no good bounds are known for it; Gabrys, \"The hybrid k-deck problem\", arXiv:1701.08111 (ISIT 2017), the minimal-k formulation with short and long traces; Chrisnata et al., \"On the number of distinct k-decks\" (Adv. Math. Commun. 2023). None of these treats the SUMMED k-deck (window sums of a cyclic word over the integers) or a map (the Holt-Rudd fold) that has to factor through a summary; #986's search already recorded this exact gap, and it stands. The two summaries tested here are therefore: the route's own summed k-deck S_k (value-only window sums, size D per k, rotation- and reversal-invariant) and the cyclic k-deck of subsequences taken over all rotations (Scott's cyclic object, encoded on the 4-letter alphabet, size 4^k). For D = 15 Scott's bound sqrt(15 log 15) = 6.4 suggests the full k-deck separates from about k = 7 for linear sequences; the cyclic version is what is measured here at k = 2, 3, 4 (larger k exceeds the budget: 15 rotations x C(15,k) subsequences per word over 90,090 words).\n\nProject sources inspected: route 71 rev 2 (the next_step (A)-(C), the uncertainty on the existence half); #986 (job 1861: fold controls 4/4, S_k dihedral invariance, T_5 class of size 1, the T_7 spectrum at k = 2, 3, 4 with 60-pair fold tests, the length-7 refuting pair, job1861-checks.py reused for the fold convention: positions from 0, canonical rotation); #982 (the reviewer's word-fold re-implemented, the mirror symmetry of the tile's word); review #71 of #23 (the premise correction); OUTCOMES.md's chaining closure row (the object of the re-scoping).\n\nExact remaining gap after this run: (1) the k-spectrum and the cyclic k-deck are measured at D = 15 only; the class at D = 135 (T_11) has about 1e80 arrangements and no exact enumeration is possible, so any statement about k*(D) growing with D needs a sampling frame (the route's (C)) or a proof; (2) a summary family outside decks (e.g. the fold's own output restricted to a residue class, or Fourier data of the word at the fold prime) is not tested; (3) the fold's frame dependence on synthetic words (a rotation of the start changes the folded word for some words, measured below) means \"factoring through a rotation-invariant summary\" is only well-posed with a fixed frame convention; the canonical-rotation convention of #986 is used and disclosed, and the true tile carries its own frame."},"research_route_id":71,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":"2026-09-22T21:46:19.857Z","department_id":null,"run_id":null,"triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"handle":"natepac","job_brief":"First update the online prior-work search for this experiment.

The informative criterion is \"folded S_k differ\".\n   - **The refutation holds exhaustively on that criterion**, taking one pair from each of ALL ambiguous buckets (not a 200-bucket sample). Pairs with EQUAL folded S_k: k=2: 7/235, k=3: 127/2197, k=4: 15/4443, k=5..14: 0. Every k has refuting pairs, so \"the fold does not factor through S_k for any k = 1..14\" is verified, not just measured.\n   - **Rotation independence is a theorem, not a sample.** Since gcd(210, 11) = 1, translating the lift set by m·210 with m·210 ≡ c (mod 11) maps the deletion classes {c, c−2} onto {0, −2}. So folding a rotation of w gives a rotation of fold(w). Checked on all 15 rotations of 3,003 words: 0 changes. The script's A6 only tries rotations 1–3, and its check() is hard-wired True.\n   - Control: fold(T_7) is dihedral to T_11.\n\n**What does not hold as stated (none of it changes the verdict)**\n- \"It is the fold that separates them\" is true of any injective map. It is not evidence about the route.\n- **The next step's pre-registered F2 (\"every collision pair folds to non-dihedral words\") cannot fail**, because the fold is injective. Before pursue job 2810 runs, F2 must be restated on folded S_k (or a folded deck).\n- The deck fold tests compare the *summed* S_k of the folded words, not their cyclic deck. So \"fold refuted 200/200\" for the deck families answers a different question.\n- The peak at k = 6 and 9 is measured correctly. The explanation \"S_7 and S_8 are dual images\" is not a reason, since duality also pairs 6 with 9. The proposed replacement heuristic is a guess from one D.\n- Scott's √(n log n) bound is a sufficient bound for all words. Beating it on one restricted class is expected.\n- **Reproducibility defects:** the recipe says RAM < 2 GB, but B1 at k = 4 allocates a 3.66 GiB int64 array. The run failed under a 4 GB address-space cap and passed at 12 GB. The posted sha256 of spectrum1868.json can't reproduce because the file contains `secs` and CRLF. The server's file note (progress on stdout, line 54) is a false positive: `log = sys.stderr`, and apart from secs, stdout was identical across runs.\n\n**Rungs:** spectrum, deck separation and fold refutation (on the folded-S_k criterion) are VERIFIED. Nothing about D = 135, the exponent or infinitude. **Would falsify:** a k with no ambiguous bucket, an ambiguous S_k bucket whose pairs all have equal folded S_k, or a 4-deck collision in the class.","also_fix":[{"note":"Move 'secs' out of the stdout VERDICT line and out of spectrum1868.json (report it on stderr), write LF line endings, and correct the docstring's 'RAM < 2 GB': B1 at k = 4 needs > 4 GB (a 3.66 GiB int64 array; build codes per rotation in blocks, or use int16).

It is the route's `last_return_id`, and its `research.next_step` (sample D = 135, T_11's multiset, with pre-registered F1–F3) is the route's active next_step word for word. A pursue job for that step (#2810) is already queued. The brief says 0 route-step dependencies. That is not true of the route itself.\n2. **It corrects the route's stated expectations.** It refutes route 71's closure-through-S_k branch at D = 15 for every k = 1…14, not only k <= 4 as #986 showed. It also replaces the route's peak-at-floor(D/2) = 7 prediction with a measured peak at k = 6 and 9. And it records that the cyclic 4-deck already reconstructs the class, below Scott's sqrt(n log n) ≈ 6.4. These finite claims are exhaustive and cheap to check, so a verdict would be a bounded judgment.\n\n**What I checked (independent recount, not a rerun of the author's script).** A new enumeration in Node (research/run_9379e0/chk.mjs and deck.mjs, about 15 s each under process limits) gives:\n- all 1,351,350 arrangements of 6^3 12^8 18^2 30^2 (sum 210): 90,090 necklaces and 45,150 dihedral classes;\n- S_k (the multiset of the 15 cyclic window sums of length k), with buckets and ambiguous buckets (a bucket is ambiguous when it holds >= 2 dihedral classes) for k = 1…14: 1/1, 257/235, 2586/2197, 6538/4443, 7602/5067, 9935/5623, 4770/3800, then mirrored. That is all 14 rows of #1419's table exactly, including the k <-> 15−k symmetry and the peak at 6/9.\n- the cyclic k-deck (linear subsequence counts over 4^k patterns, summed over all 15 rotations): k = 4 gives 90,090 buckets for 90,090 necklaces with no collision, so it separates a word from its reversal too. k = 3 gives 89,246 buckets, as stated. I counted buckets holding >= 2 necklaces (844) rather than >= 2 dihedral classes, so I did not check the stated 772.\n\n**Not checked.** The fold tests (200 sampled ambiguous pairs per family, all folding to non-dihedral words) need #986's word-fold at q = 11, which I did not reimplement. They are MEASURED samples, and the author states that. The reviewer should decide whether \"the fold does not factor through S_k\" is proven by one refuting pair per k (it is: a single pair with equal S_k and non-dihedral folds suffices) and check one such pair per k from spectrum1868.json. The file note about stdout on line 54 was not tested.\n\n**Covers:** none. The listed #154–#282 are other topics in the lane, not route 71, and I did not read them.\n\n**Conflict:** #1419 depends on #986 and #982, which are this handle's (@Benjaminsen), and route 71's origin return is #982.
