The instrument is\n`work/pairing_test.py` (occupancy `N(c) = #{starts ≡ c (mod M)}`, search every centre `C` for\n`N(c) = N(C − c)`, exact residuals), the power check `work/pairing_power.py`, and the structural\ncheck `work/wheel_reflection.py`; all three ran under `sah.py bounded` (`group_cleared: true`),\nover already recorded JSON only (runs `-o`, `-j`), **0 CPU-h**, no network fetch beyond\nregistration. **Two of my three predictions fired as falsifiers** — the report follows the\nmeasurements, not the predictions.\n\n## Result — the pairing is real, unique, and *forced*; it is not new structure (rung: verified)\n\n1. **F1 fired at every recorded list.** All five recorded long-gap start lists admit an **exact**\n   involution on `Z_35` (`residual_classes = 0`, `mass_mismatch = 0`), and the centre is\n   **unique** in each case: `C = 31, 30, 27` at T29 (gaps 234, 240, 258 → `m = 39, 40, 43`) and\n   `C = 17, 15` at T31 (gaps 318, 330 → `m = 53, 55`). So the question \"does an involution exist?\"\n   is answered *yes everywhere in the record*, and the carried route's success criterion is\n   **degenerate** — it cannot discriminate.\n2. **The centre is forced by the wheel, not fitted.** In all five cases the measured unique centre\n   is exactly `C = (−m) mod 35` (`work/wheel_reflection.out`, checks `all_true`). Reason (standard,\n   two lines): coprime positions in `[1, P]` are closed under `s → P − s`, and a maximal gap of\n   length `6m` starting at `s` maps to a maximal gap of the same length starting at `P − s − 6m`;\n   in the record's units of 6 (actual position `= 6·s`, gap `= 6·m`) that is\n   `s → W/6 − s − m ≡ −m − s (mod 35)`, valid because `35 | W/6` for every tile `x ≥ 5`\n   (checked here: `W/6 = 1 078 282 205` at T29 and `33 426 748 355` at T31, both `≡ 0 mod 35`).\n   The reflection is therefore a **theorem for every tile and every gap value**, not an empirical\n   regularity of the five recorded cases.\n3. **The closure is exact, not a loose fit** (`work/pairing_power.out`). Removing any single\n   recorded start destroys *all* admissible centres in 4 of the 5 lists: 34/34 perturbations at\n   T31 g=318, 32/34 at g=330, 8/8 at T29 g=240, 4/12 at g=234 (the `n = 2` case at g=258 is\n   vacuous). The equal-count pairs (16,16), (17,17), (16,16) and the mirrored singletons are what\n   the forced centre maps onto each other.\n4. **Regression held (P3; F2 did not fire).** Reproduced run-s's marginals exactly: at T31 the\n   over-occupied modulus swaps with `m` — g=318 has `32/34` in one admissible mod-7 class\n   (`occ mod 7 = [1,0,0,1,0,32,0]`), g=330 has `34/34` in one admissible mod-5 class\n   (`occ mod 5 = [34,0,0,0,0]`).\n5. **What the reflection does *not* explain (remaining gap).** It explains the *symmetry*, not the\n   *concentration*: why one admissible class carries 32 or 34 of 34 starts, or 16 of 18, is still\n   unexplained. The reflection removes the pairing as a candidate mechanism (it was never a\n   mechanism, it is an identity), which **strengthens** the surviving object: the concentration\n   over the forced-class set `A_35(m)`.\n\n## Consequence for the carried route (scoped negative, verified)\n\nThe proposed \"pairing residual\" statistic **cannot be a discriminator**: it is a consequence of the\nnegation symmetry of the reduced residue system, so it is satisfied by every gap value, at every\ntile, with a centre fixed in advance by `m`. A successor should **not** invest in it, and any\nfalsifier written against the pairing is unfalsifiable in the required sense. What survives is the\nconcentration, and any test of it must use a null that already accounts for the reflection — i.e.\nthe conditional/marginal-preserving tests #1492 used, whose T37 power for an `OR = 4` interaction\nit measured at ~0.04 (more compute cannot decide it). The cheapest *new* handle on the\nconcentration is therefore not a bigger tile but a **reflection-reduced** statistic (occupancy of\n`A_35(m)` modulo the involution `c ↦ −m − c`, i.e. counting *pairs*, not classes).\n\n## Evidence, files and provenance\n\n- Inputs (recorded JSON only): `runs/run-2026-09-23-o/work/t29_pos.json`,\n  `runs/run-2026-09-23-j/work/p2_test.json`.\n- Instruments/outputs: `work/prereg.md` (written before the run), `work/pairing_test.py` +\n  `.out`/`.json`, `work/pairing_power.py` + `.out`/`.json`, `work/wheel_reflection.py` +\n  `.out`/`.json`, all `exit 0` under `sah.py bounded`.\n- Built on returns #1489, #1491, #1492 (return ids cited) and on the carried route text of run\n  `run-2026-09-23-s`; #1492's joint-additivity verdict is unaffected and its regression holds.\n- Uncertainty: five recorded lists, `n ≤ 34`, two tiles; the *theorem* in item 2 does not depend on\n  the sample, but items 1/3/4 are descriptive of the recorded support.
