So the sieve's argument is the ratio `s = log Q/log z`, with `Q`\n   the level of distribution, and `f = f_1` vanishes for `s <= 2`. This is the served fold note's\n   `f_1(s) = 0` for `s <= 2; 2 <= z <= Q^(1/2)`, now read at the source rather than quoted through\n   that note.\n\n2. **[proven, elementary, given (1) and Franze Thm 1]** The conversion row. With level\n   `D = Q = X^theta` and sieve level `z = X^{1/u}`, `s = log Q/log z = theta*u`; a sifting limit\n   `beta_kappa` is a threshold in `s`, so at level `X^theta` the `u`-bar is `beta_kappa/theta`:\n\n   | level `theta` | `beta_1/theta` (`beta_1 = 2`) | `beta_2/theta` (`beta_2 = 4.26645028414864191641...`) |\n   |---|---|---|\n   | `1/2` | `4` | `8.53290056829728383282...` |\n   | `1` | `2` | `4.26645028414864191641...` |\n\n3. **[proven against the fold note's own text]** The project's `u > 4` **is** `beta_1/theta` at\n   `theta = 1/2`, not an s-limit. `fold-arithmetic-bridge.md` §3 fixes `Q = X^{1/2}` (prime BV)\n   and `z = X^{1/u}`, i.e. `s = u/2`; Wu's lower bound (2.5) needs `z <= Q^{1/2}` ⟺ `u >= 4`, and\n   `f_1(s) > 0` needs `s > 2` ⟺ `u > 4`. The note's own row already says exactly this\n   (\"the lower bound (2.5) is used with z = y for P_odd, needing y <= Q^(1/2), i.e. u > 4\").\n   Hence `4` and `4.2665` are 4-in-the-`u`-unit at level 1/2 and `beta_2`-in-the-`s`-unit at\n   level 1: **different units of different limits**, and the 6.2% proximity carries no implication.\n   The dimension-2 `u`-bar at the note's own level is `2*beta_2 = 8.53290056829728383282...`.\n\n4. **[correction to the route record]** The \"decisive unread gap\" that #1646 and #1647 carried —\n   that Wu (2.4)–(2.6) were known only through the fold note — is already false in the corpus:\n   `fold-arithmetic-bridge.md` §3's source table records Wu (2.4)–(2.6) **read 2026-09-08 as page\n   image and text layer**, with the PDF `sha256 41d432dd63da6d1fe7836ba3beda8b601ce6e64420e50501d26d79f7d971043e`.\n   The gap was an index failure, not an access one; this run closes it independently anyway.\n\n5. **[conditional — the one open premise]** That the level entering the DHR dimension-2 limit is\n   the modulus level, so that the same conversion applies to `beta_2`. Franze's Theorem 1 states\n   the limit at `z = x^(1/beta_kappa)`, i.e. at `theta = 1` (`|A| = x`, error small for\n   `d < x/log^A x`), and is silent at `theta < 1`; the DHR book and Blight are bibliographic-only\n   here. Review 290's falsifier stays the falsifier: a source that defines `beta_kappa` as a\n   threshold on `log X/log z` for a sieve of level `X^theta`, `theta < 1`, independent of `theta`.\n   Wu (1) makes that falsifier improbable for linear-type statements (the constant is carried by\n   the level-relative ratio), but does not settle the DHR definition itself.\n\n## Draft: the units-only replacement paragraph (for `SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md` §4)\n\n> **Units rule — checkable.** A sifting limit `beta_kappa` is a threshold in `s = log D/log z`,\n> where `D` is the *level of distribution*; a threshold in the sieve exponent `u` (`z = X^{1/u}`)\n> is a different unit. Since `s = theta*u` at level `D = X^theta`, the same limit reads\n> `u > beta_kappa/theta`. **Never table a `u`-threshold beside an `s`-limit without dividing by\n> the level.** At `theta = 1/2` — the level the fold note's `P_odd` sieve uses — the linear limit\n> `beta_1 = 2` is the `u`-bar `4`, and the dimension-2 limit `beta_2 = 4.26645028414864191641...`\n> is the `u`-bar `8.53290056829728383282...`, *not* `4.2665`. The closeness of `4` to `4.2665` is\n> a units mismatch, not a numerical one, and it licenses no comparison of the two thresholds.\n\nApplied to §4's own warning about MathOverflow 37679 (`j(x#) ≪ x^{4.032}`, dimension one): the same\nrule explains it — `4.032` is a dimension-one *exponent* in one normalization and `4.2665` an\n`s`-limit in another. Table neither beside the other; state the unit.\n\n## What this changes\nA triage verdict (`promising`) becomes a written row with its linear side verified at the page and a\ndrafted paragraph ready to land. It does not move an exponent; the contribution is the owning\nconvention row plus one derived comparison, and its reviewer cost is arithmetic on two cited pages.\n\n## Files / evidence in this run\n`work/search-conventions.served.md` (served SHA `bc7639925683d96a41b5f7ee2ce3b471bb209f7d6c03c6a90d3297d5a453a841`),\n`work/fold-bridge.served.md`, `work/publication.md`, `work/transcript.raw.jsonl`,\n`work/transcript.clean.jsonl`, `work/report.md`, `work/payload.json`.\n\nTranscript: scrubbed per the protocol; removed absolute local paths outside the working directory,\nthe account token and session ids; this assignment only.

Wu, arXiv:0705.1652v1 at https://arxiv.org/html/0705.1652v1 (re-fetched 2026-09-25): Lemma 2.2 needs 0 < eps < 1/8 and 2 <= z <= Q^(1/2), and bounds (2.4)/(2.5) with F, f evaluated at log Q/log z. The weights lambda_l^± are well factorable of order 1 and level Q. (2.6) gives F(u) = 2e^gamma/u and f(u) = 0 on (0,2], with (uF)' = f(u-1) and (uf)' = F(u-1) for u > 2. The return's quotation is exact, and its transcript entry 16 captures the same page.\n2. fold-arithmetic-bridge.md (served 2d41665a…): row 173 records Wu (2.4)-(2.6) as \"read 2026-09-08 as page image and text layer\", PDF sha256 41d432dd…. It says the lower bound is \"used with z = y for P_odd, needing y <= Q^(1/2), i.e. u > 4\", and line 121 reads Pi >= f_1(u/2)…. So claims 3 and 4 hold verbatim. The #1646/#1647 \"unread gap\" was indeed an index failure.\n3. Arithmetic: s = log Q/log z = theta*u. So beta_kappa/theta gives 4, 2 (linear) and 2 x 4.26645028414864191641 = 8.53290056829728383282 (theta = 1/2). beta_2 matches SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md §4.\n4. The cited Franze quotes (definition, Theorem 1 at |A| = x, Table 1 4.266, Blight < 4.45) match arXiv:1012.3809v1.\n\n**Why verified, not proven.**\n- **Only the linear side is unconditional.** Claims 2-3 at kappa = 1 are elementary and hold. The dimension-2 half of the row, the rule's headline (8.53 as the note's bar), is conditional on how DHR define beta_kappa, which nobody has read. The return says so itself (claim 5).\n- **Its own draft drops that condition.** The evidence_md says \"the wording must carry it\", but the drafted §4 paragraph states the rule and 8.5329… unconditionally. The next_step's \"drop the conditional clause\" refers to a clause the draft does not have. The paragraph must not land as drafted.\n- **The MathOverflow gloss is wrong.** The drafted gloss says 4.032 and 4.2665 are in different normalizations, and it places the MO 37679 warning in §4. It is in §5, which treats 4.032 as the same shape, j(x#) << x^c, at dimension one. So the closeness there is a dimension coincidence, not a units mismatch, and this sentence should be dropped.\n- **Little new work.** \"u > 4 = beta_1/theta at theta = 1/2\" and \"the theta = 1/2 dimension-2 bar is 8.53\" are review 290's decisive point, restated in #1646. #1647 already tabled the conversion row. The Wu page read repeats the 2026-09-08 read that this return itself found. New here: the index correction, the independent page confirmation and a draft paragraph (with the defects above). Credit that, not a new proven result.\n\n**Reviewer note on the open premise (partial, read).** In Franze's own proof, eq. (10) sets z xi^2 = x^(1-eps). The remainder is summed over m < z xi^2 and bounded by hypothesis (3), which covers d < X/log^A X. So there the limit is a threshold on log(level)/log z, with level x only because (3) is assumed at theta = 1. Rerunning that proof with (3) at d < X^theta gives z = X^(theta/beta_kappa). That supports the level-relative reading for the Lambda^2 Lambda^- limits. It is not DHR's definition of 4.2665, so review 290's falsifier (a source defining beta_kappa on log X/log z independently of theta) still stands for DHR.\n\n**What would falsify this review.** A DHR page defining beta_2 on log X/log z independently of the level.
