The decision the statistic informs (does the recorded L-ladder's gap-support shape\nextend one fold?) is now decided, at the next fold, and the answer is **no**: the shape seen at\n`T29` was an accident of that tile, not a law. No route is proposed (the criterion is already\nrecorded; the remaining increments are costs, not open questions).\n\n## What was decided, and why the retained censuses could not\n\nReturn **#161** records the L-ladder `L(T_x,p)` only for `T5..T29` and `7 <= p <= 1009`. The\ncriterion `L(T_x,p) >= 2  <=>  some cyclic gap of T_x is in {0,2,p-2} mod p` (a one-line\nconsequence of `{a,a+2}-{a,a+2} = {0,+-2}`, derived and checked **8/8** against #161's thresholds\nby run-d, note `research/l-ladder-gap-support-2578.md`, return **#1466**) reduces the column to a\n**finite set**: the tile's cyclic gap support. #1466 pre-registered the next step — the same\ncomputation at `T31` — with a falsifier. That is this return.\n\nPre-registration `work/prereg.md` (sha256\n`322c87776d5b8ef2d25cf425aa9a73300590b9f86ed1495522851c3ffeedd081`) was written at 2026-09-23T01:34Z\n**before any run**; the statistic is the **T31 gap support and threshold**.\n\n## Results (one pass; `work/t31_support.py`, 241.6 s wall, one core, < 100 MB RSS)\n\n**Control, T29 — exact.** `D = 214,708,725` (= #162's census = #161's `D` = #159's `D`);\n`G2 = 258`; support exactly `{6,12,...,240} U {258}` (41 values); threshold **127** = #161's\nrecorded value; `sum of gap multiplicities = D`; `sum gaps = W = 29# = 6,469,693,230`.\n\n**New, T31.** `W = 31# = 200,560,490,130`; `D = 6,226,553,025 = 29 * D(T29)` (pre-registered P1,\nexact); `G2 = 348`; support\n**`{6,12,...,318} U {330, 348}`** (55 values); every gap a multiple of 6; `sum gaps = W`;\n`sum of gap multiplicities = D`; **threshold 179**; **27** primes `p > 31` read `L >= 2` (T29: 20);\nno prime `353 <= p <= 1009` reads `L >= 2`. By the criterion the whole tail `p > 350` is `L = 1`\nas a **theorem**, not a measurement — the falsifier F3 (a `p > G2+2` with `L >= 2`) did not fire.\n\n## The pre-registered falsifier F2 fires\n\n`prereg.md` F2: the support must be **full below `G2 - 18`**, with at most the single top value\nabove it — the shape measured at T29 (full block `6..240 = G2-18`, plus the one value `258 = G2`).\n\nAt `T31`, `G2 - 18 = 330` and **`324 = 6*54` is absent** while `318` and `330` are present: there\nis a hole **below** the pre-registered boundary, and two values (`330`, `348`) lie above `318`\nrather than one. **F2 fires.** The \"full block plus one exceptional top gap\" shape does **not**\ncontinue at the next tile: it was an accident of `T29`, not a law of the ladder.\n\nScope of the negative: it refutes the *shape conjecture* of #1466, not the criterion of\n`l-ladder-gap-support-2578` (which is elementary and untouched), and not #161's measured values.\n\n## Byproduct statistic — **not** pre-registered (reported as `measured`, with the design below)\n\nFrom the same multiplicities: the tile gap-size dispersion against the **matched independent\nthinning** control the brief names. Null: keep each 6-lattice slot with `rho = D/(W/6)`, then gaps\nin units of 6 are Geometric(`rho`), `var/mean = 6(1-rho)/rho` (validated by 200 000 draws, seed\n20260923: `24.148` vs analytic `24.132` at T29; `26.142` vs `26.211` at T31).\n\n| tile | mean gap | var/mean | null | ratio |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| T29 | 30.132 | 15.256 | 24.132 | **0.632** |\n| T31 | 32.211 | 17.022 | 26.211 | **0.649** |\n\nThe tile gap word is **~35 % less dispersed than matched independent thinning**, consistently at\nboth tiles. This is the same direction as route **142**'s sub-Poisson consecutive-twin-gap law\n(return **#1456**, ratio 0.903 in the top bin), but **it is not the same object** (a size\ndispersion of a tile's gap word vs a bin-count dispersion of real twin gaps), and it was not\npre-registered here, so no claim is made. Design for a pre-registered test: fix the statistic\n(`var/mean` of the tile word), the null, the tiles, and the falsifier `ratio in [0.95, 1.05]`\nbefore the run; cost 0.02 CPU-h (the multiplicities above are already saved).\n\n## Rungs\n\n`proven`: the `{0,+-2}` criterion (`l-ladder-gap-support-2578`); the `L = 1` tail `p > G2+2`.\n`measured`: the T29 control (exact match to #161/#162/#159); every T31 number; the F2 outcome\n(negative); the dispersion byproduct. `verified`: #161's/`#1466`'s recorded values, read.\n`heuristic`: the structural reading of the tail values (`43` at T29; `55`, `58` units of 6 at T31).\n\n## The gap that remains\n\n1. **Why `324` is absent while `330` and `348` occur, and why the tail has two values at T31 and\n   one at T29** — no explanation is offered. Cheapest discriminating step: the same support at\n   `T37`, `D(T37) = 35 * D(T31) = 217,929,355,875` slots, ~**2.4 CPU-h** single core (fits the\n   4 CPU-h cap; does **not** fit a one-hour session). It decides whether the hole is a one-off.\n2. **Independent recomputation of the T31 support** (0.2 CPU-h) as an instrument check — the T29\n   control is exact, but the T31 hole is a negative claim about a 6.2e9-slot object.\n3. Not attempted: `L >= 3` and the exact values (needs the residue order; #161's \"L has no law of\n   its own\" stands).\n\nNote for the person: 48 of @Benjaminsen's returns wait for a verdict, the oldest since 2026-09-11.\n\n## Files\n\n`work/prereg.md`, `work/t31_support.py`, `work/t31_support.json`, `work/dispersion_control.py`,\n`work/dispersion_control.json`, `work/report.md`.
