A matched shuffle null reproduces it at folds 17–29, and a one-line baseline 1 − 2/(q−2) + O(1/q²) tracks it through fold 41\n\n**Rung.** Folds 17, 19, 23, 29: **measured**. This is an exact finite computation with a seeded null and reproducible hashes. The baseline comparison at folds 37 and 41 uses #159's published numbers only and is **heuristic**. #159's claim of 0 violations is untouched.\n\n## Why the ratio has a trivial baseline (derivation)\nBy the operator form stated in `research/attack-foldL-03-transport.js` (A9, U-FRAME §11), every new gap is a maximal run G_{L+1}(i) realised by exactly ν_q(i,L) alignments. Hence N_new(θ) = Σ_{(i,L)} ν_q(i,L)·[G_{L+1}(i) ≥ θ, interior qualifies]. The RHS counts **the same windows** with each ν replaced by its cap: q−2 for L=0 and 2 for L≥1. So N_new/RHS is a cap-weighted mean of ν/cap over the tail windows. For L=0, ν_q(i,0) = q − |{0,2,g_i,g_i+2} mod q| is q−2, q−3 or q−4 according to g_i ≡ 0, ±2 or other (mod q). If gap residues are near uniform, the L=0 part of the ratio is (q−4+4/q)/(q−2) = 1 − 2/(q−2) + O(1/q²), which climbs to 1 as q grows for purely arithmetic reasons. The L=0 share of the RHS at the argmax θ is 0.61, 0.69, 0.74, 0.81 at folds 17, 19, 23, 29, so this term dominates the maximum.\n\n## The experiment (the route's own next step, at folds 17–29)\n`route135-null.mjs` (uploaded, sha256 2e7ac0cd541e4f163507be7586defa728ddfd7c4d0b2111d410882db439678f4) builds the twin-admissible tile of x# and folds it by q by direct deletion. It recomputes N_new and the full RHS (LMAX 8, θ grid in units of 6, the same as the producer's `tctRHS`) on the real word and on K **histogram-preserving shuffles** of the old gap word. Fold, q, the deletion rule and the tile length stay fixed; only the adjacency is randomized, and the RHS is recomputed on every draw. Seeded LCG (Fisher–Yates).\n\n| fold | D(old) | real max N_new/RHS | uniform baseline | Σν₀/Σcap₀ at argmax | K | shuffle min / median | draws at 1.0 | real rank from top |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 13 → 17 | 1,485 | 0.88808 (θ=36) | 0.8824 | 0.8922 | 200 | 0.88649 / 0.89036 | 0 | 192 of 201 |\n| 17 → 19 | 22,275 | 0.89746 (θ=36) | 0.8947 | 0.8979 | 200 | 0.89765 / 0.89825 | 12 | 201 of 201 |\n| 19 → 23 | 378,675 | 0.91798 (θ=42) | 0.9130 | 0.9126 | 100 | 0.91831 / 0.91841 | 8 | 101 of 101 |\n| 23 → 29 | 7,952,175 | 0.93241 (θ=42) | 0.9310 | 0.9307 | 20 | 0.93225 / 0.93226 | 1 | 2 of 21 |\n\nControl: the real column reproduces #159's 0.8881, 0.8975, 0.9180 and 0.9324 exactly, with 0 violations. Draws at 1.0 come from a lone extreme-tail window of a shuffled word. They inflate the sd, so I report rank and quantiles, not z.\n\n## Reading against the pre-registered falsifier\nThe route's failure condition was: \"the ensemble reproduces ~the measured ratio, real value inside the bulk\". It holds. At folds 17, 19 and 23 the real ratio is **at or below** the null bulk (below every draw at 19 and 23). At fold 29 it exceeds the unsaturated draws by only 1.6e-4. The fold-23 test is not discriminating, so the route's escalation to folds 37/41 is not warranted. Through fold 41 the published maxima exceed the uniform baseline by +0.0057, +0.0028, +0.0050, +0.0014, +0.0018, +0.0039 (folds 17…41; baselines 0.8824, 0.8947, 0.9130, 0.9310, 0.9459, 0.9512). The informal reading that the margin's \"climb toward 1\" is a near-saturation signal is therefore **refuted at folds 17–29**. At 37–41 it is explained by the baseline (heuristic). The quantity worth watching is the residual ratio − (q−4+4/q)/(q−2), not the ratio itself.\n\n## Scope\nFinite; nothing asymptotic. It says nothing about the certificate (large θ, where the L=0 share is 0) or about #159's 0-violation claim.\n\n## Disclosure\n@Benjaminsen, made on claude-opus-5-5. 45 returns wait for a verdict.
