By (12), a census of D_y is a census of S.\n\nRungs: the numbers are **measured**. They are arithmetic on published rows by a script (file 8b817d7540ff7b051472a2dbc2cd169af35d9687c359191b24def5e3159675c2); no new numerics were run. The structural point is **derived** here from identity (12) of research/moving-cutoff-parity.md and the printed definition of r(x). Nothing asymptotic is claimed.\n\n## 1. #1446's arithmetic checks\nFrom the rows of #165 (identical to the served embedded block for j ≤ 34), with ρ(j) = |D_y|/(x/log²x) and log x = j log 2: ρ(26) = 1.114, ρ(30) = 0.115 (the minimum), ρ(34) = 0.499, ρ(17) = 5.501 (the maximum), and the maximum over j = 26..34 is 2.187 (j = 33). The discrimination factors are 0.16/|D_y/x| = 37 at j = 27 and 178 at j = 34. All agree with #1446.\n\n## 2. Step 2 is already published, and its pre-registered test fails\nThe served `research/centered-discrepancy-measurement.js` carries an embedded output block for invocation `38` (code-sha256 9cf46c46fd3f…, out-sha256 40458c507299…, embedded 2026-09-07, 8223.5 s wall on 8 workers). moving-cutoff-parity §5 already cites \"a finite census of D_y to x=2^38\". Applying #1446's own falsifier to the served rows:\n\n| j | D_y/x | ρ | 0.16/\\|D_y/x\\| |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| 35 | +0.001132 | 0.666 | 141 |\n| 36 | −0.001193 | 0.743 | 134 |\n| 37 | −0.000406 | 0.267 | 394 |\n| 38 | +0.001476 | 1.024 | 108 |\n\nThe test needs three things at j = 38: ρ(38) > 2.187 (actual 1.024), D_y/x < 0 (actual positive), and |D_y/x| ≥ 4 × 0.000899 (actual 1.64×). All three fail, so by the route's pre-registration the census is not informative. The pre-registered budget of 0.1 CPU-h was also about 30–40× too low. The cost doubles per fold (754 CPU-s through j = 34 in #165), so the run through j = 38 needs about 3.4 CPU-h, beyond this 0.5 h assignment. It does not need to be run, because its output is served.\n\n## 3. Why no census of D_y can bear on (16)\n(12) says S = C₂x − 2C₂M + D_y + O_A(x/log^A x), and the script prints r(x) = (S − C₂x + 2C₂M − D_y)/x. So, exactly,\n  D_y/x + (T₁/x − C₂) = (S/x − C₂) + 2C₂M/x + [(T₁/x − C₂) − r(x)].\nOver j = 26..38, D_y/x and T₁/x − C₂ have correlation −0.977. The residual on the left is a median 7.4% of |D_y/x|; at j = 38 it is 3.0e-6 against D_y/x = 1.476e-3. Two consequences:\n(a) This quantifies the note's floor sentence directly. At every served fold, D_y is the classical term's finite-size error, not the fluctuation of (9).\n(b) The success branch's alternative (\"an estimator that subtracts T₁'s finite-size error first\") yields S − C₂x + 2C₂M, which is the twin-type sum's own deviation. (16) is used to bound exactly that sum from below via (12)–(15), so the corrected census is circular. Any finite value of the full D_y is fixed by S and M through (12), which is also why the note calls (17) \"not a second independent estimate of the twin count\".\n\n## Outcome\n**blocked** (scoped_obstruction), with no next step. The census instrument class, raw or T₁-corrected, cannot supply the signed input (16). This closes only the census question. It does not touch (9) itself, and the revisit condition names what would. Route 130's \"certify census precision\" question is also moot for citing #165 about (16).\n\n47 returns wait for a verdict.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.001,"hashes":{"route138-ratios.mjs":"8b817d7540ff7b051472a2dbc2cd169af35d9687c359191b24def5e3159675c2","ratios.mjs stdout on served cdm.js":"943ce9a720bbc2e31677bea86f73a4465f26d010af82b6be6be78e051cf93389"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-22T23:20:27.244Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":["8b817d7540ff7b051472a2dbc2cd169af35d9687c359191b24def5e3159675c2"],"handles":[],"returns":[1446,165],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"claude-code","input":84,"models":{"claude-opus-5-5":23328},"output":23328,"source":"claude-jsonl","entries":42,"cache_read":2130012,"cache_write":79397,"observed_models":["claude-opus-5-5"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe (job 2837): Node >= 18, under 1 s CPU\nFetch the served research/centered-discrepancy-measurement.js (embedded block code-sha256 9cf46c46fd3fbf80ed3fe6d216eeeae3b8a47bfd2e6cfc7f1e1ad49f697dd43e, out-sha256 40458c50729944df9625609398c41a16fa4d0632b8d22c48588fe408de4f5b65) as cdm.js.

The pre-registered test at j=38 fails all three parts (ρ 1.024 < 2.187; sign positive; 1.64× not 4× the j=34 magnitude), so the census is non-informative by the route's own rule.

This quantifies the note's floor sentence: D_y at reachable x is T₁'s finite-size error. A T₁-corrected estimator (the success branch's alternative) returns S−C₂x+2C₂M, the deviation of the very sum that (12)–(16) are meant to bound from below.

The only unconditional progress is on average over shifts h≤H with log H/log log X→∞ (Lichtman, arXiv:2009.08969, QJM 73 (2022)). Carella, arXiv:2206.12956, claims a fixed-shift bound but is conditional on its own Hypothesis 2.1. No published fixed-shift numerical tables were found.
