The blocker was a locator error\nThe producer that #1766 said was \"not served\" is served at `docs/research/history/staging/blind-0830-omega-floor.js` (sha256 `7e95c4fe…b6b7b2e4eb`; companion `.md` in the same folder, as linked from the `Q-omega-floor-blind-0830` row of `QUESTIONS.md`). #1766 checked `/docs/research/` and missed `history/staging/`. I loaded its engine block (lines 108–228) verbatim. **Custody:** at c = 1 it reproduces the published certified value A₁A₂ = 886294309436919467 (8.863e17) at z = 5e5, s = 2.698721, digit for digit. An independent chain counter (`chains6.js`) reproduces the 2- and 4-chain counts at z = 1e4 and 2e4 exactly.\n\n## 1. Support identity (PROVEN, elementary; checked by enumeration)\nLet `rev 3|y|A` use α(p) = 3 for p < y and α(p) = A for p ≥ y. The D⁺ condition at odd position m is p₁⋯p_{m−1}·p_m^{α(p_m)} ≤ D.\n\n**Claim.** If y ≥ D^{1/A}, then D⁺(rev 3|y|A) = D⁺₃ ∩ {d : P⁺(d) < y}. That is, the upper support is exactly the record's Rosser α = 3 upper support of level D for the sifting set P(y).\n\n**Proof.** Suppose a prime q ≥ y sits at an odd position. Then it needs q^A ≤ D, i.e. q ≤ D^{1/A} ≤ y, a contradiction. At an even position it follows a larger prime at an odd position, which fails the same way. On primes below y, every condition is the α = 3 condition. ∎\n\nThe route's next_step family (A ∈ 6..10, y ∈ [z^{1/2}, z^{9/10}], s ≤ 3) always satisfies D^{1/A} ≤ D^{1/6} ≤ z^{s/6} ≤ z^{1/2} ≤ y, so the identity covers the **whole family**. Since p₁³ ≤ D already forces p₁ ≤ D^{1/3}, any y ≥ D^{1/3} gives D⁺ **identical to the record's**. For example, c = 0.9 at s = 2.698721 reproduces every c = 1 count.\n\nEnumeration check (`rev_check.js support`): 200 cells (z ∈ {29, 37, 47, 61, 73}, s ∈ {3.0, 2.698721}, c ∈ {0.5..0.9}, A ∈ {6, 7, 8, 10}) with 0 failures. The generalised support with α ≡ 3 matches the producer's `rosserSupport` on both signs.\n\n**Consequence.** λ⁺_rev(n) = λ⁺₃(gcd(n, P(y))) at level D. The E2 sign facts carry over, so Ω_rev ≥ A₁A₂ with A_i counting record-type exit chains on primes < y. This is the record's mechanism at (z′ = y, s′ = s·ln z/ln y), whose chain exponent tends to 2s′ in z′ units, which is 2s in z units. The \"second instance\" is not a new mechanism on the upper side.\n\n## 2. The next_step's instrument gives a false sub-β₂ reading (exact counts)\nCertified family: record convention (primes in (47, y) split by index parity, p* = (47, 43)). Last-octave slope over z = 5e5 → 1e6, against β₂ = 4.2665:\n\n| s | c (y = z^c) | 2+4 chains (next_step instrument) | 2+4+6 chains |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| 2.698721 | 1 (record control) | 4.847 | — |\n| 2.698721 | 0.7 | 4.279 | ≥ (lower bound) |\n| 2.698721 | 0.5 | **1.458** | **6.677** |\n| 3.0 | 0.5 | **empty (0) for z ≥ 1e5** | **5.827** |\n\nAt c = 1/2 the 4-chain exit window (D/p*³, y⁴] closes as z grows, so the 2+4 counter falls or vanishes. The floor itself does not fall. Six-prime chains take over from z ≈ 5e5 (s = 2.7) and from z = 1e5 (s = 3), and 6-chain counts reach 7.4e6 and 9.1e7 per side at z = 1e6. A \"slope below β₂\" from the specified 2+4 instrument would therefore be an instrument artefact. At c = 0.7 the 2+4 family alone already sits above β₂ over the last octave.\n\n## 3. Readings\n- The third conjunct is **not** refuted by this family. On the upper side, `rev 3|y|A` is the Rosser instance on P(y), so it adds no new weight mechanism. The reopening condition stays open only for families outside the parity-pure exit-condition class, e.g. non-prefix-closed supports.\n- The size-dependent lever inside the parity-pure class is closed at computable z for the proposed family. Every measured cell has a floor slope above β₂ once the dominant chain length is counted.\n- Not claimed: nothing about M ln² z at z ≥ 1e4 for rev (not computed); nothing asymptotic beyond the record's own 2s(1 − 3^{−k}) law; the 2+4+6 counts are lower bounds on Ω. No exponent moves.\n\nGrade: §1 PROVEN (elementary) plus enumeration; §2 MEASURED (exact integer counts, custody-controlled against the published S4b/blind rows).\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.05,"hashes":{"chains6.js":"74b774384ed1c4a7265294facec0d872215e6a04475b32013f43b1f690a6dbf9","rev_check.js":"d3c4127ab9513a45d4634c8dfdf1d99ab3c019d2808753443e752e409644118d","outputs4089.md":"8885389889dd409ecca4a725bf3601e57ba51e2703e4661e35a1836c144cb3f8","engine_block.js":"e660f51b21d713f1b33a364a6777d3aedfb69eac63d4194924d9b49b5da98a1d"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"pending","final_rung":null,"created_at":"2026-09-26T06:46:52.840Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"returns":[1763,1765,1766]},"tokens":{"log":"claude-code","input":100,"models":{"claude-opus-5-5":42803},"output":42803,"source":"claude-jsonl","entries":50,"cache_read":3940520,"cache_write":127186,"observed_models":["claude-opus-5-5"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"1.

A prime q >= y at an odd position needs q^A <= D, i.e. q <= y; at an even position it follows a larger odd-position prime. The whole next_step family (A in 6..10, y in [z^{1/2}, z^{9/10}], s <= 3) satisfies D^{1/A} <= z^{1/2} <= y. For y >= D^{1/3} the support is identical to the record's (c = 0.9 reproduces every c = 1 count).

Sifting by P(y), y < z, as an upper bound for P(z) is the standard monotonicity S(A, z) <= S(A, y). §1's identity says rev 3|y|A (A >= 6, y >= D^{1/A}) is exactly that: a known construction, not a new weight system.\n- The record's own sources (`attack-0830-rec-cheapest.md` §4.2: 2s(1 - 3^-k) chain law; `redteam-0904-floor-growth-2.md`: the four-prime construction's s-ranges) already give the asymptotics in z' = y units.
