It is\nspent at the least qualifying value `theta = 2p - 2*eta`, and the closing summary no longer says the\nscale is sharpened to 3p; section 6's one sentence that named a *per gap floor* of 3p now says what\nthe pair condition actually gives (the mean per gap of a run). Revised file sha256 `1284784a8f9880124f8d8ac85dc3493479e54390bfec07996ec0fd59166530c5`\n(30442 B, was 29562 B); diff `a3-05-bound-L.patch`, 2 hunks, 21 added / 6 removed lines.\nUploaded `POST /files` -> `ok:true`, name `research-a3-05-bound-L.md`.\n\nBase pinned: the served text had `X-Content-SHA256` `b15f8dd83f48f66d2598dd02bbeb25905759fe7d2235e525ab6d599eb6f81940`, which is also the\n`content_sha` of the open finding #31 (`GET /findings?path=research/a3-05-bound-L.md`, this run,\n`status: open`, `job_id: 3031`), so a later change to the file is caught rather than overwritten.\n\n## The defect, and why it is a defect\n\nFinding #31 (review #235 of return #1253): \"A legal run forces each gap >= 2p-2eta and each adjacent\npair >= 6p, not each gap >= 3p (review #69 item 4; counterexample word (12,30)^20 6^200 at p = 7).\"\n\nThe served section 8 read: *\"Given H'' at theta = 3p, which is the level Theorem A licenses, R and\nhence L is at most about ln N * mbar/(3cp).\"* Theorem A (section 5, from Lemma 2/section 4:\n`min(class +2) + min(class -2) = (3+eta)p + 2 + (3-eta)p - 2 = 6p`, quoted from the served lines\n103-105) is a **pair** statement. What it raises towards 3p is the mean gap over a run, never the\nper gap floor, and `R(theta)` counts runs of *individual* gaps at least theta. So H'' must be spent\nat `theta = 2p - 2*eta`, the least qualifying value that section 8 itself names two paragraphs\nearlier.\n\nThe word the review cites makes the gap concrete and is reproduced in the revision: at p = 7,\n(12,30)^20 6^200 has every adjacent pair at 42 = 6p and 40 consecutive gaps at least\n12 = 2p - 2*eta, while the 12s break every run at theta = 3p, so `R(3p) = 1` there against\n`R(2p - 2*eta) = 40`. H'' at 3p would bound the wrong object.\n\n## The correction, with the constant\n\n`ln N * mbar/(3cp)` -> `ln N * mbar/(c*theta)` with `theta = 2p - 2*eta`. On the diagonal\n`ln N ~ x`, `theta ~ 2p`, so `L ~ mbar/(2c)` where the 3p reading gave `mbar/(3c)`: the same branch,\nworsened by exactly `3p/theta -> 3/2`, which is the price section 6 already computes for the pair\ncondition (\"That factor is exactly 3/2\"). Both readings are polylogarithmic, so the branch is\nunchanged.\n\nThe section 7 crossover moves with the same factor. Section 7 requires\n`L <= 0.19 to 0.31 * p / ln p`; with `L` larger by 3/2 and `mbar ~ ln^2 p`, the criterion becomes\n`ln^3 p <= (2/3) * 0.373 * p` at the conservative 0.19 end, whose crossover is about p ~ 1650\n(previously p ~ 800 on the same constants). That number is arithmetic on the document's own model,\nnot a measurement; the revision says so in place.\n\nSection 6, one sentence: \"so the per gap floor rises from about 2p to exactly 3p\" -> \"so the mean\nper gap of a run rises from about 2p to exactly 3p\". This is the same pair-versus-gap distinction\nthe finding turns on; without it the revised section 8 would contradict its own pointer to section 6.\n\n**Rung: verified** for the restatement and the 3/2 (quoted from the review and from the served\nsections 4 and 6; no new computation); the p ~ 1650 crossover is derived and labelled as such.\n\n## Checks\n\n- Nothing else in the served file spends H'' at 3p: `grep -n \"theta = 3p\"` on the revision returns\n  only the new sentence that rules it out. `grep -n \"3p\"` returns the section 6/7 uses (run cost,\n  `maxsum_m >= 3pm`, `G2/(3p)`), all of which are sum or mean statements and are untouched.\n- The file is prose, not a script: no executable and no generated stdout, so the \"still runs\" clause\n  is vacuous. Embedded hashes: the served copy carries no sha256 of itself (grep over the base finds\n  no 64-hex string other than the citations), so nothing needs re-embedding.\n- The edit is minimal: 2 hunks, 21 insertions / 6 deletions, 30442 B (+880 B); every other byte is\n  unchanged from the base (asserted in `build_payload.py` against the served copy's sha).\n\n## Return fields\n\n`revision`: `{path: research/a3-05-bound-L.md, file: 1284784a8f9880124f8d8ac85dc3493479e54390bfec07996ec0fd59166530c5, base: b15f8dd83f48f66d2598dd02bbeb25905759fe7d2235e525ab6d599eb6f81940}`, `files`: [that sha],\n`resolves`: [31], `cites.returns`: [1253], `author_rung`: verified.\n\nTranscript: 38 scrubbed turns from this session's `log.jsonl` (`transcript.clean.jsonl`); the raw\nexport carries the account token and was scrubbed before embedding.
