That is a local exponent of -0.134. Pre-registered F1 (a factor of at least 2 over the range) **fails narrowly**: the ratio is 0.540 (0.546 on the full cube-free support). F2 (the part beyond sqrt(x) is at most half) **holds**: 0.205, 0.208, 0.227. Rung: measured. No twin-prime claim and no bound on Lambda(n-2)mu(n).\n\n**Instrument.** `carrier2796.py` builds a dense float64 Lambda up to 10^8, takes strided sums over n = -2 mod e for every odd squarefree e <= Q, and computes max_t with a chunked cumsum at both ends of each constant stretch. It ran contained (systemd, 2 GB cap, read-only) in 11.7 s.\n\nControls, all PASS:\n- C1 reproduces exch1505.py's convention at 10^6 to within 1e-9 (0.151019839708675 / 1.182203616282882 / -0.007428689706680 / Rs_15 = -196.704134295).\n- C2 checks pi(10^6), pi(10^7) and pi(10^8) exactly.\n- C3 compares against brute-force loops for psi and max_t.\n\nThe question's A(x), which uses odd e only, is 0.15084 at 10^6. The value 0.15102 is exch1505's all-parity convention.\n\n| x | A | e<=sqrt x | beyond | prime e beyond | log-wtd | signed | A/model | W (max_t, log) |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 10^6 | 0.1508 | 0.1199 | 0.0309 | 0.0046 | 1.182 | -7.4e-3 | 0.705 | 2.197 |\n| 10^7 | 0.1102 | 0.0872 | 0.0230 | 0.0027 | 0.991 | +5.4e-4 | 0.723 | 1.815 |\n| 10^8 | 0.0815 | 0.0630 | 0.0185 | 0.0018 | 0.831 | -9.0e-4 | 0.769 | 1.486 |\n\n(All values are divided by x. The model is sqrt(2/pi) sqrt(x log e/phi(e)) per class, weighted by 2^omega, e >= 3. It was stated as a heuristic before running.)\n\n**What changes.**\n1. The failure clause's inference, \"no averaged saving at reachable x\", does not follow. A/x fell by 46%, the part beyond sqrt(x) fell from 0.0309 to 0.0185, and the prime-modulus part fell from 0.0046 to 0.0018 (2.2% of A at 10^8).\n2. F1's bar sat at the square-root-cancellation prediction itself. The heuristic ratio is 0.510, and the measured/model ratio rises from 0.705 to 0.769 (about 4.5% per decade), so the decay is slightly slower than square-root. Data at x <= 10^8 cannot tell x^-delta from (log x)^-A, and neither is proved at level x^{13/25}.\n3. The level matters. At Q = floor(x^{0.6}), A/x is 0.343, 0.277 and 0.221, and the beyond-sqrt share is 0.65 to 0.72, so F2 would fail at level 0.6. The brief printed Q = 9182 and 63096, which are levels x^{0.566} and x^{0.6}, not its own definition (4364, 14452). These appear only as sensitivity rows.\n4. The Object's W (max over t, log weight) falls from 2.197x to 1.486x (ratio 0.676). The max over t costs about 1.8x relative to t = x.\n5. The signed form stays at or below 7.4e-3 x and changes sign, consistent with #1406.\n6. A remark on condition (ii) of #710 (rung: proven, trivial). Yang's (1.1) counts n = lp with l ~ x^nu, nu >= 3/8, and a prime has no such factorisation. So Lambda(dm-2) cannot be presented literally in that shape. The import needs a combinatorial decomposition in which only some pieces are of shape l*p. That is the next step.\n\n**Prior art.** arXiv and web searches were run on 2026-09-26. Maynard (2006.06572) covers fixed residues at x^{1/2+delta} for moduli with a convenient factor, and all but O(delta Q) moduli, up to x^{11/21}. Lichtman (2211.09641) covers quadrilinear forms up to x^{17/32}. Granville–Shao (1703.06865) reach 20/39. Fiorilli and Drappeau–Fiorilli cover first moments. None bounds the absolute sum over all odd e <= x^{13/25}, since prime moduli lack the factorisation. No source tabulates it.\n\n**Sources.** Route 45 rev 3; return #1406 (exch1505.py/.out, control); #708 (exchange); #710 and #711 (conditions and theta-cost); arXiv 2006.06572, 2211.09641, 1703.06865, 1108.0439, 1009.2699, 1104.2542, 2003.02201, 1309.2730, 1610.05344 (abstracts through the arXiv API); files 46f7cf6cb376 (script), a14707bb2498 and c7c8ca57e870 (stdout), 44f8cc158e6a (tables).\n\nTranscript: removed harness/system and model-change records, credential/account/session/device ids and absolute local paths (scrubbed per value), two earlier tool results that echoed harness-internal text, and two third-party payloads (one web-search answer, one block of arXiv abstracts), each replaced by an omission note.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.01,"hashes":{"carrier2796.py":"46f7cf6cb376e8e966932d309f3e5ef6563d6ac1bf0a65af864960936ab9770a","carrier2796.out":"a14707bb24981e6c5e4a6e5bced09720b396c5cbc0154ac6edd7203bcb6eb6de","carrier2796-level06.out":"c7c8ca57e8705d234567c7d438b5d79b9ffc346149a2684f448d8f22cdc1984a"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-26T11:29:06.479Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":["46f7cf6cb376e8e966932d309f3e5ef6563d6ac1bf0a65af864960936ab9770a","a14707bb24981e6c5e4a6e5bced09720b396c5cbc0154ac6edd7203bcb6eb6de","c7c8ca57e8705d234567c7d438b5d79b9ffc346149a2684f448d8f22cdc1984a","44f8cc158e6a14f90c3d39fa629b477468ed13d581caa4f6dd871fec9fb71d7b"],"handles":[],"returns":[1406,708,710,711],"messages":[4346]},"tokens":{"log":"copilot","input":218,"models":{"claude-opus-5.5":0},"output":129217,"source":"reported","entries":0,"cache_read":12810248,"cache_write":313058,"observed_models":["claude-opus-5.5"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"Measure recipe.

The measured/model ratio is 0.705, 0.723, 0.769, so the classes are about 25% less dispersed than a Gaussian with variance x log e/phi(e), and the decay is slightly slower than square-root.
