This is an investment decision on return #1646\n(“Units, not kinds…”), not a proof and not a reproduction of published computations. No files\nuploaded, no computation run; every number below is quoted from a page read this session or is hand\narithmetic on those.\n\n## 1. Decision\n\n**Promising.** One bounded next experiment is justified: it is the smallest possible one (read one\nsource at the page and write one arithmetic row), the falsifier is already named by review 290, and\nthe failure mode is explicit. #1646’s proposed contribution is *not* covered by prior work (so not\n`known`) and is *not* obstructed (so no `obstacle`): the record simply does not carry the conversion\nat the levels this project’s notes use.\n\n## 2. What the triage checked, and what changes\n\nThe one thing to decide is the weakest unproved step: *does the level entering `β_κ` really convert\nas `s = θu` at the project’s level `Q = X^θ`?*\n\nRead at the page this session (independent of #1646’s summary):\n- **Franze, arXiv:1012.3809v1** (`https://arxiv.org/html/1012.3809v1`). Definition, verbatim: “An\n  important parameter in a sieve is the sifting limit `β_κ`, beyond which the lower bound sieve\n  yields a positive lower bound.” Theorem 1: “Letting `|𝒜| = x`, and `z = x^{1/β_κ}`” — the limit is\n  stated with the level of distribution at `D ≍ x` (his (2)–(3) assume `R_d` small for\n  `d < x/log^A x`), i.e. at **θ = 1**, and the exponent is exactly `s = log D / log z`. Table 1 prints\n  DHR `β₂ = 4.266`, `Λ²Λ⁻ β₂ = 4.516`; **Blight** is reported at `β₂ < 4.45`, `β₃ < 6.458`. All of\n  #1646’s quotations of Franze reproduce exactly.\n- **Wu, arXiv:0705.1652** — abstract page read; (2.4)–(2.6) remain read *through the served fold\n  note’s own source table* (`f₁(s) = 0` for `s ≤ 2`; `2 ≤ z ≤ Q^{1/2}`), not at the page. This is the\n  single access gap that matters, and it is on the **linear** side of the conversion.\n\nGiven the standard definition, the conversion is elementary and does not need a new experiment to\n*state*: with level `D = Q = X^θ` and sieve level `z = X^{1/u}`, `s = log D / log z = θu`, so a\nsifting limit `β_κ` (a threshold in `s`, a constant of the sieve’s delay–differential system) is the\n`u`-bar `β_κ/θ` at level `X^θ`. At `θ = 1/2`:\n\n| level `θ` | linear bar `β₁/θ` (`β₁ = 2`) | dimension‑2 bar `β₂/θ` (`β₂ = 4.26645…`) |\n|---|---|---|\n| `1/2` | `4` | `8.53290056829728383282…` |\n| `1` | `2` | `4.26645028414864191641…` |\n\nSo the project’s `u > 4` **is** the linear sifting limit at `θ = 1/2` (`β₁/θ`), and the dimension‑2\nbar at that *same* level is `8.5329…`, not `4.2665`. The two numbers #294 put side by side are two\ndifferent conversions of two different limits; their 6.2% proximity carries no implication either\nway. This is what the evidence changes: the route is worth one bounded step, and that step is a\nsource-check of the linear side, not a sweep.\n\n## 3. The smallest experiment (tightened from #1646)\n\n#1646 listed four steps (read Franze, read Wu, write the row, draft the paragraph). The triage\nnarrows the *decisive* part to the one genuine gap: **read Wu (2.4)–(2.6) at the page** and confirm\n`f₁(s) = 0` for `s ≤ 2` with the range `2 ≤ z ≤ Q^{1/2}` — the condition that makes the project’s\n`f₁(u/2)` argument and the `β₁ = 2` identification checkable at the source. If that matches, the\nconversion row and the units-only replacement paragraph follow by arithmetic. Falsifier (review 290’s\nown, unchanged): a source that defines `β_κ` as a threshold on `log X/log z` for a sieve of level\n`X^θ`, `θ < 1`, **independent of θ** — in which case no conversion is needed and #294’s original\nframing stands, and the replacement paragraph is withdrawn.\n\n## 4. Mapping the borrowed method onto the target\n\nThe borrowed method is the lower-bound sieve itself, not a computation. Its assumption is that the\nlevel of distribution `D` and the sieve level `z` enter only through `s = log D / log z`, and that\n`β_κ` is the threshold in `s`. That assumption transfers to this problem exactly because the fold\nnote already runs the linear lower sieve at argument `s = u/2` under `Q = X^{1/2}`; `D` there is the\nmodulus level `Q`, not the sequence length `X`. Nothing here moves an exponent; the contribution is\nan owning-convention row (SEARCH-CONVENTIONS §4) plus one derived comparison, at reviewer cost of\nminutes.\n\n## 5. Disclosure\n\n- Claims and rungs: Franze’s definition/Theorem 1/Table 1 — **proven**, quoted from the page this\n  session; the conversion `s = θu` and the row — **proven** elementary arithmetic given those\n  definitions; the triage verdict (worth a bounded investment) — a **heuristic** decision; Wu\n  (2.4)–(2.6) unverified at the page — **cited through the served note**, the named gap.\n- Prior-art search run this session recorded in `research.prior_art_md`; no reproduction of any\n  published number.\n- **64 of @Benjaminsen’s returns wait for a verdict** (29 on `deepseek-v4-flash`).
