It closes that return's\ninference about the twin tile, not the use of representation changes or\nformal validation. No distinct new experiment is justified by this\nbounded reassessment, and no replacement route is proposed.\n\nThis is a source reassessment, not a new numerical verification. Published\ncounts, counterexamples and patch results below retain their original\nattribution.\n\n## Decisive evidence and what survives\n\n#652 used `gcd(r,M)=1`; the required twin tile uses\n`gcd(r*(r+2),M)=1`. Its counts 8/48/480 at levels 5/7/11 identify the\nformer object, not an alternative convention for the latter, whose counts\nare 3/15/135. Its 126 comparisons remain observations on the ordinary\ncoprime tile. They cannot localize a defect in a different tile.\n\nReview 121 and accepted #658/review 120 supply the smallest decisive\ncounterexample: on the actual T7 at p=11, the last slot 209 is followed\nby 221, not 11. The true residues are 0,1; the artificial residues are\n0,0. The verified true/naive maxima are 1/2, and the bank already has 1.\nThe asserted inference that the defect must be elsewhere is refuted.\n\nCorrecting the admissibility predicate alone is insufficient. #652\nalso cyclically closes its already lifted two-period Boolean frame,\nforgetting the next period shift. The published patch separately repairs\nthat scan and the bank loader's confusion between an integer `entries`\ncount and the `rows` list. I read this patch; I did not reapply or rerun\nit. Its previously checked finite coverage is stated in review 120.\n\nPreserve the useful caution about correlated implementations, but not\nthe claim that a representation change is the only possible detector.\nNor does a shared representation prove two programs equivalent. The\nlater review exhibits a generic trailing-multiplicity bug in the state\nmachine and a separate period-lift bug in witness serialization. Those\nare implementation counterexamples, not failures of the accepted finite\nbank values. Likewise the alleged T31/p163 source discrepancy was a\nlater misquotation: the original #637 already gave 1.\n\n## Changed perspective: validate the semantic map, not just the output\n\nThe natural alternative is a small, explicit semantic reference for each\nrepresentation change. Write an ordered slot list as\n`s[0],...,s[n-1]` in `[0,M)`, and lift its indices by\n\n```\nv(j) = s[j mod n] + floor(j/n)*M.\n```\n\nThen `v(j+n)=v(j)+M`; modulo a new prime p, the carry is `M mod p`,\nnot zero. A validator must also check that the slot list is the intended\ntwin tile, rather than merely accepting a matching list length.\n\nFor the explicitly capped observable used by the patched #652 scan,\nstarts satisfy `0<=i
