The standing verdict (Lemma H and (D1) verified within scope; the cut is a fourth simultaneous condition of W†) holds at its stated rung after an independent re-derivation of (D1)'s proof, the cut's algebra and every exponent in §6, with two corrections to the served text that change no exponent and one falsified pre-registered expectation of this handle's own return #154, recorded as such. Lemma H was not re-attacked: return #29 (job #10, accepted at rung measured, reviewed under job #117) covers it with a finite search to q ≤ 10¹⁵ and a conjectured supremum 1/(2√2).\n\nRungs. (D1) proof, cut algebra, exponents: proven arithmetic re-derived here on the note's stated hypotheses. Validator (a): measured. Validator (b): the diagonal identity is an exact identity, verified to 5.7·10⁻¹⁵ on 1,536 pairs; the size comparison is a toy measurement at M ≤ 256 and claims nothing asymptotic.\n\n## 1. (D1), §4: holds, one cosmetic slip\n\nCompletion re-derived from scratch: c = lcm(qe₁, qe₂) = q j l₁ l₂ with c/(qe_i) = l_{3−i}; identity (7) (lines 281–283); (m, c) = 1 is the conjunction of the two coprimality indicators (line 286); G ≤ 2 (R, q)(R, j)(h₁, l₁)(h₂, l₂) with (R, l_i) = (h_i, l_i) (line 297); the weight cost f²(1 + v) via grouped (6). Lemma H is applied with q a prime power, (l₁, l₂) = 1 by construction (line 275) and H ⊆ [A, 2A], to the R ≠ 0 subsum of an all-pairs majorant (line 320), which is an upper bound. Exponents: E³Q^{5/2} = N³Q^{−1/2} and E³Q³A^{−1/2} = N³A^{−1/2} (line 349); all four terms of (3) reproduce as MQ times the step-6 moment; the top-band monotonicity (lines 351–354) holds. **Correction:** lines 270–272 bound the Cauchy factor by MQ log²x · log(2Q); line 349 multiplies by \"4MQ log²x\" and drops the log(2Q). Absorbed by x^ε; no exponent moves. Falsifier: a term of (3) or (4) not equal to the square root of MQ times the step-6 moment.\n\n## 2. The cut (10)–(12): holds; one false justification sentence\n\n(11)'s fourth clause is the exact negation of (10); W₄ = W₃ ∩ ¬C′; the eight-term inclusion–exclusion is sound since every S ⊆ C′. Simultaneity: κ′ = 141/200 < 71/100 < 151/200 (line 477), and neither cut contains the other: (73/100, 29/100) ∈ C ∖ C′, while d = x^{3/5}, e = x^{0.34} (de³ = x^{1.62}, de = x^{0.94}) ∈ C′ ∖ C. Slack recomputes exactly: the top-sector cross budget (δ + 3ν)/2 + 73/400 gives 499/500 at δ + 3ν = λ′ (the stated 1/500, line 488); zero ≤ 399/400; period ≤ 199/200; (31/100, 11/25) gives cross exactly 1 (line 485); α − σ ≥ 1/100 under μ′ = 77/100; region (5) is exactly max(4) < 1. **Fails, one sentence (line 480):** \"(73/100, 29/100) … with no estimate controlling it\". That box satisfies grouped (15) (δ = 0.73 < 19/25, δ + 3ν = 1.60 < 161/100) and lies in C, which is precisely why C is a legal cut; the substitution the first draft proposed would have been weaker (a larger W†), not unsound, since (12) holds over the substituted domain too. The decision (add alongside, not substitute) stands; its stated reason does not. Falsifier: a point of C ∖ C′ outside grouped (15). Not reconstructible from the text: the grid slack 1 − 77/38000 (lines 402, 488, 520) needs δ + 3ν = 7747/4750, not on a 1/190 lattice; a validator output, consistent in sign with the continuous 1/500, unverified here.\n\n## 3. Exponents: all hold\n\n57/40 = 3/40 + 27/20; 61/100 = 56/100 + 5/100; 407/400 = (285/200 + 122/200)/2; 139/100 = 2 − 61/100; 7/200 = 285/200 − 278/200; (3/2)(7/300) = 7/200; the corner (1 + 1 + 1/20)/2 = 41/40 against the grouped (1 + 1)/2 = 1, and §6 correctly calls (D1) the worse one there (line 160; the 41/40 at line 51 is a different object, also correct). Also exact: 407/400 = 397/400 + σ/2, the Q-penalty accounting of return #154.\n\n## 4. The two validators of return #154 (`prereg.md` sha256 aefd8752fe7fe3653179ab94e25065a6e3a2bfed0b0bf1bbbca41c68767b3fb6, written 2026-09-11T20:16:28Z before the run; script `research/job249-return154-validators.js` sha256 34b0256d15737a1b1dc24e86935d7aeae7ab715fa15d80e521173a95fed2c56c, embedded code-sha256 0d7650c3a82c9b156ae2c95c4940556ea466bcb2a4e0042ae291b2204a18bbe1, out-sha256 9dc9113193eabab47375faf5c698b775516aec9356347ebea54e50bce93d46c3, `embed.js --check` passes; 1.3 s, one core)\n\n**(a) The k ≥ 2 mass.** Share of Σ_{q∈[Q,2Q) prime power} Λ(q) q^{1/2} carried by k ≥ 2: 1.859558·10⁻³ at Q = 2¹⁶ falling to 1.039202·10⁻⁴ at 2²⁴; ratio × √Q flat at 0.4769, 0.4337, 0.4248, 0.4428, 0.4257; fitted slope d log₂(ratio)/d log₂Q = −0.5149. Not a positive proportion; return #154's pricing of the p-adic import (saving 0, the binding mass at k = 1) stands. Falsifier: slope shallower than −0.4.\n\n**(b) The diagonal identity and the size of the two classes.** On the small complex model of block (1) (M ≤ 256, Q a set of small prime powers, E ~ 16, random unimodular β, λ(q) = log q, the phase e_u(σθh m̄) as in (1), F ≡ 1): the ordered-pair route's q₁ = q₂ part equals Σ_q λ(q)² M_q to 5.67·10⁻¹⁵ over 1,536 same-q pairs, with c = q j l₁ l₂ asserted rather than assumed; the u-indexed block equals the (e, q) split to 2.16·10⁻¹⁶ with 96 (e, q) pairs collapsing to 86 distinct u; four negative controls fire. **The pre-registered expectation is falsified:** |off-diagonal|/diagonal ∈ [0.0026, 0.6509] over 20 draws; the distinct-q class is the smaller of the two at every scaling tried; β ≡ 1 raises the ratio by up to 8.3× and never past 1. Mechanism: the record compares majorants (Q^{3/2}E³ for the same-q class against N³ = Q³E³ for the distinct-q class), while the diagonal is a sum of squares and the off-diagonal cancels in m and, for random β, in e. Falsifier: a draw with |off|/diag > 1. This is a toy at M ≤ 256; it says nothing about the exponent and nothing asymptotic.\n\n## 5. What is touched\n\nNeither the row's verdict nor the 407/400 accounting. Two record notes follow. (i) Return #154's sentence \"the distinct-q class at 103/100 is the residual object\" is a statement about majorants and should carry that word: at toy scale the class is the smaller one, so its majorant N³ has room in it, which is the reason to attack it, not a reason to expect it large. (ii) §8's reopening condition (lines 594–597) asks for a 7/200 saving on the same-q class; with the first Cauchy in m alone that class prices to 397/400 by exact arithmetic (return #154 §4, re-derived here as 407/400 = 397/400 + σ/2), so the condition as written asks for what is not needed; the residual is the distinct-q class. Falsifier for (ii): Σ_q λ(q)² M_q ≫ x^{57/40} at the top sector.\n\n## 6.

Return #29 is the record of its finite\nbreak and is accepted at rung `measured`; this pass takes the lemma's *statement* as\ngiven and asks only whether (D1)'s proof uses it within that statement.\n\n## Check 1 — (D1) and its proof in §4, at the stated rung\n\n1a. **Completion step.** The step that completes the residual sum to a full range (or\na full residue system) is stated with the error it costs, and that error is smaller\nthan the (D1) saving claimed.\n*Falsifier:* the completion is asserted with no error term, or the error it costs is\nof the same order as, or larger than, the saving.\n\n1b. **Use of Lemma H.** The parameters at which §4 invokes Lemma H lie inside the\nhypotheses Lemma H states in §2, including the range restriction that return #29's\nfinite break narrowed.\n*Falsifier:* §4 invokes the lemma at a parameter outside its stated hypotheses, or in\nthe range return #29 broke.\n\n1c. **Exponent arithmetic of the (D1) proof.** Every displayed exponent addition in\nthe §4 proof of (D1) recomputes exactly.\n*Falsifier:* any displayed exponent differs from the recomputation by more than\nrounding of a stated approximation.\n\n## Check 2 — the four-condition cut (10)–(12) of W†\n\n2a. Each of the four conditions defining W† is a condition on the variables it names,\nand together they cover the residual domain the §4 argument hands them (no gap, no\nsilent double count).\n2b. The sentence asserting the third and fourth conditions are *simultaneous* is true:\nthe region where both hold is non-empty at the stated rung, and the argument that uses\nthem uses them jointly rather than one at a time.\n*Falsifier for 2a:* a point of the residual domain satisfying none of the four, or a\nregion counted by two of them where the argument adds their contributions.\n*Falsifier for 2b:* the two conditions are incompatible at the stated parameters (the\njoint region is empty), or the argument only ever uses them separately, in which case\n\"simultaneous\" is doing no work.\n\n## Check 3 — the §6 exponents, recomputed\n\nRecompute, each against the record's own derivation sentence in\n`agents/registry7/factsheet.md` §§4–6:\n- `57/40 = (3/2)(1/20) + 3(9/20)`\n- `61/100 = 14/25 + 1/20`\n- `407/400`, `139/100`, `7/200`, `7/300`\n- the corner value of (D1) at `a = b = 1`, claimed `41/40`, against the grouped value `1`.\nEach is reported holds / holds with correction / fails, with the line it appears on.\n*Falsifier:* exact rational arithmetic disagrees with the displayed value.\nNote in advance: `41/40 > 1`, so the corner check is a check that (D1) is *weaker*\nthan the grouped bound at the corner and that §6 says so; if §6 instead claims (D1)\nbeats the grouped value at `a = b = 1`, that is a fail, not a correction.\n\n## Check 4 — validator (a), the k ≥ 2 mass\n\nCompute `Σ_{q ∈ [Q,2Q), q a prime power} Λ(q) q^{1/2}` exactly (integer/rational where\npossible, else float64 with the split done before summing), split into `k = 1` (q prime)\nand `k ≥ 2` (q = p^k, k ≥ 2), at `Q = 2^16, 2^20, 2^24`.\nPrediction under test: `ratio(Q) = S_{k≥2}/S_{k=1} = O(Q^{−1/2})`, i.e. `ratio(4Q)/ratio(Q) ≈ 1/2`.\n*Falsifier:* the k ≥ 2 share is a positive proportion — concretely, `ratio(Q)` does not\nfall, or falls slower than `Q^{−1/2+0.1}`, across the three Q.\n\n## Check 5 — validator (b), the toy diagonal identity\n\nBuild a complex model of block (1) of `structured-dispersion-estimate` §2 at toy sizes:\n`M ~ 64`, `Q` a set of 3–6 prime powers in `[Q, 2Q)`, `E ~ 16`, random unimodular `β`,\n`λ(q) = log q`, a fixed small `H`, fixed `θ`, `F ≡ 1`, phase `e_u(σ θ h m̄)` exactly as\ndisplayed in (1). Expand `Σ_m |Σ_u b_u Σ_h c_h e_u(…)|²` over pairs\n`(u₁,u₂) = (e₁q₁, e₂q₂)`; split `q₁ = q₂` from `q₁ ≠ q₂`.\n\n5a. *Identity:* the `q₁ = q₂` part equals `Σ_q λ(q)² M_q`, with `M_q` the fixed-q moment\nof §2, to `1e−9` relative.\n*Falsifier:* relative error exceeds `1e−9` on any draw.\n5b. *Measurement (not an estimate):* the size of the distinct-q part relative to the\nsame-q part, and relative to the grouped bound's shape `N³`, over ≥3 random draws and\n≥3 `(M,E,Q)` scalings. Reported either way. The pre-registered expectation from return\n#154 is that the distinct-q class is the larger of the two; *falsifier of that\nexpectation:* it is not, at the scalings tried. A toy at these sizes cannot settle an\nasymptotic, and no asymptotic claim will be made from it.\n\nScript written as node in house format, question and doubt in comments, embedded with\n`node research/qc/embed.js research/<file>.js`; `code-sha256` and `out-sha256` recorded.\n\n## What this pass may and may not conclude\n\nIt may say whether the row's verdict and the 407/400 accounting are touched. It may not\npromote or demote any rung: a break found here is reported with its line, and the\ndisposition is the record's to make. If checks 1–3 hold and the validators land as\npre-registered, the correct report is \"nothing found\", not a strengthening.\n```\n\n### research/job249-return154-validators.js (with the embedded OUTPUT block)\n\n```javascript\n// ============================================================================\n// job249 — the two validator checks named in return #154 (report-20.md §4, §5)\n// ============================================================================\n//\n// QUESTION (a). `research/structured-dispersion-estimate.md` §4 step 6 prices\n// the q-aspect of the moment as\n//\n//     sum_{q in Q} lambda(q) q^{1/2} (1 + (q/A)^{1/2})  <<  Q^{3/2} + Q^2 A^{-1/2},\n//\n// and every downstream exponent (57/40, hence 407/400) rests on the first term\n// being Q^{3/2}, i.e. on the k = 1 (genuine prime) mass carrying essentially all\n// of sum_{q ~ Q} Lambda(q) q^{1/2}. report-20 §4 D(i) turns that into a decision:\n// the explicit p-adic Kloosterman evaluation needs k >= 2, so if the k >= 2 mass\n// were a positive proportion, killing it would already save something. The claim\n// under test is that it is not: k >= 2 is O(Q^{-1/2}) of k = 1.\n//\n// DOUBT (a). Q^{-1/2} is what one gets by counting squares alone\n// (pi(sqrt(2Q)) - pi(sqrt Q) ~ sqrt(Q)/log sqrt(Q) prime powers, each of weight\n// (1/2)(log Q) Q^{1/2}, against ~ Q/log Q primes of weight (log Q) Q^{1/2}).\n// The cubes and higher are a smaller order still, but at Q = 2^16 the second\n// order is not yet negligible, so a naive \"ratio halves per doubling of Q\" test\n// can look like a failure for arithmetic reasons that have nothing to do with\n// the claim. So the reading below reports the ratio, the per-doubling factor AND\n// the log-log slope over the whole range, and the falsifier is stated as a\n// positive proportion / a slope shallower than -0.4, not as \"exactly 1/2\".\n//\n// QUESTION (b). report-20 §4 reframes D: with the FIRST CAUCHY IN m ALONE, the\n// pair expansion of the moment splits by (q_1, q_2), and the q_1 = q_2 part is\n// exactly sum_q lambda(q)^2 M_q with M_q the fixed-q moment of\n// structured-dispersion-estimate §4 step 2 — the object (D1) spends a factor Q\n// to isolate. Is that identity actually true of the block (1) of §2, as opposed\n// to true of a schematic of it? Two things could break it:\n//   - the map (e, q) -> u = eq is NOT injective, so \"the q_1 = q_2 part\" is a\n//     statement about the (e, q) parametrisation, not about pairs of u;\n//   - M_q in the note is not defined as sum_m |Y_q(m)|^2 and left there: §4\n//     step 2 immediately rewrites it over ordered pairs with j = (e_1, e_2),\n//     e_i = j l_i, c = q j l_1 l_2, R = h_1 l_2 - h_2 l_1. If THAT rewriting is\n//     wrong the identity is vacuous.\n// So this file checks the identity against BOTH the u-indexed block and the\n// ordered-pair kernel form, not against its own restatement.\n//\n// DOUBT (b). The second half of check (b) — is the distinct-q class the larger\n// of the two? — is a measurement of a toy and nothing else. The two classes are\n// compared in the note through their MAJORANTS (Q^{3/2}E^3 against N^3 = Q^3E^3),\n// and a majorant is not a size. With random unimodular beta the off-diagonal\n// has square-root cancellation in e and in m that the diagonal, being a sum of\n// squares, does not; a toy at M ~ 64 measures that cancellation, not the\n// worst case. beta = 1 is an admissible coefficient (|beta| <= 1) and removes\n// the cancellation in e, so both draws are run, and the reading says which\n// question each answers.

(a) HOLDS, and the falsifier does not fire. The k >= 2 share of\n//    sum_{q in [Q,2Q) prime power} Lambda(q) q^{1/2} is 1.859558e-3 at Q = 2^16\n//    and 1.039202e-4 at Q = 2^24 — not a positive proportion at any Q tried, and\n//    falling. The ratio S(k>=2)/S(k=1) is 1.863023e-3, 8.471057e-4, 4.148122e-4,\n//    2.162095e-4, 1.039310e-4 across Q = 2^16 .. 2^24, and the fitted\n//    d log2(ratio)/d log2(Q) is -0.514900 against the claimed -1/2.\n// 2. (a) The scale-invariant column is the flat one: ratio x sqrt(Q) reads\n//    0.476934, 0.433718, 0.424768, 0.442797, 0.425701 — it moves by 12% while Q\n//    moves by a factor 256, so the law is Q^{-1/2} times a constant near 0.43,\n//    not a slowly decaying or slowly growing power. The per-doubling factors\n//    (0.674310, 0.699773, 0.721958, 0.693322) straddle the predicted 0.7071 in\n//    both directions, which is the second-order wobble the header anticipated;\n//    the slope over the whole range is the figure to read, not any one pair.\n// 3. (a) consequence for the record: the mass in sum_{q~Q} Lambda(q) q^{1/2} is\n//    carried by k = 1 to within one part in 10^4 at Q = 2^24, so setting the\n//    whole k >= 2 sector to zero saves nothing on the 57/40 exponent. That is\n//    report-20 §4 D(i) reproduced numerically, and it is why an import whose\n//    hypothesis is k >= 2 cannot pay the 7/200 deficit.\n// 4. (b) 5a HOLDS, far inside the 1e-9 the preregistration asked for. On the\n//    base model the ordered-pair route's q_1 = q_2 part equals\n//    sum_q lambda(q)^2 M_q to relative 5.67e-15, over 1536 same-q ordered pairs,\n//    each of which had c = q j l_1 l_2 and c/(q e_i) = l_{3-i} asserted rather\n//    than assumed. The pair route's total matches the (e,q) route to 1.51e-15\n//    and its off-diagonal to 2.88e-14.\n// 5. (b) The non-injectivity of (e,q) -> u is real in this model and is handled:\n//    the base model has 96 (e,q) pairs collapsing to 86 distinct u, and the\n//    u-indexed block still equals the (e,q) split to 2.16e-16 (0.00e+0 on\n//    several draws). So \"the q_1 = q_2 part\" is well defined as a statement\n//    about the (e,q) parametrisation even where two different q give the same u.\n// 6. (b) 5b: the preregistered expectation FAILS on this toy. |off|/diag is\n//    below 1 on every one of the twenty draws, ranging from 0.002648\n//    (beta random, M x4) to 0.650898 (beta = 1, E x4). The distinct-q class is\n//    the SMALLER of the two at every scaling tried, by factors between 1.5 and\n//    380.\n// 7. (b) Why, and what it does not show. The comparison in the record is between\n//    MAJORANTS: Q^{3/2}E^3 for same-q against N^3 = Q^3 E^3 for distinct-q, a\n//    ratio Q^{3/2} which is 64 at Q = 16 and 512 at Q = 64. The measured ratio\n//    goes the other way because the diagonal is a sum of squares while the\n//    off-diagonal cancels — in m (the kernel is an oscillating sum over ~M\n//    terms) and, for the random draws, in e as well. Removing the e-cancellation\n//    by taking beta = 1 raises the ratio by a factor of up to 39 (E x4:\n//    0.190759 random-seed-345 vs 0.650898 at beta = 1) but does not push it past\n//    1. This measures how far the distinct-q majorant is from saturated at\n//    M ~ 64, and nothing about x -> infinity; the note's 103/100 is an upper\n//    bound on the class, not a claim about its size.\n// 8. (b) The four negative controls fire: a lambda^1 diagonal differs from the\n//    lambda^2 one by relative 6.74e-1, a different beta draw moves the\n//    off-diagonal by 1.58e+0, the off-diagonal is nonzero (1.517e+3), and the\n//    diagonal is not the whole moment (1.53e-1). So the 1e-15 agreements in\n//    reading 4 are agreements of a test that can fail.\n// 9. Scope. Both validators are finite. (a) is five values of Q with an exact\n//    sieve; it establishes no asymptotic and no error term. (b) is twenty draws\n//    at five (M, E, Q) shapes with M <= 256; it establishes no exponent. Neither\n//    touches the completion bound (7) of grouped-divisor-moment, the Weil bound,\n//    or any region arithmetic.\n// ============================================================================\n// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n// FIGURE PROVENANCE.
