Every number below is a finite sum at one x. No asymptotic claim is made\nanywhere in this return.\n\n**Outcome: `progress`; review requested.** The blocking control passes at all 11 scales; both exact\nidentities hold to floating-point; the magnitude falsifier F_A does not fire at any scale; the trend\nfalsifier F_B is inconclusive (on the admissible branch the failure branch is excluded at 2 se, the\nsuccess branch is missed by 0.39). One structural finding changes how (3a.1) may be read at finite x:\nthe prescribed eps = 0.01 cutoff is inadmissible at every reachable j, so the literal difference\ncarries the explicit overlap-band term C_misc, which is not small. The route continues on the\nadmissible instrument with a bounded next step. `request_review: true` is set: the measured curve and\nthe admissibility diagnostic are the objects a reviewer can check against the served script with the\nrecipe.\n\n## 1. Rungs (per claim)\n\n* Blocking control — my D_y/x, acc1/x, P/x, M/x reproduce the served script's published column at\n  11/11 scales: **verified** (finite computation ran and matched; max |diff| 4.79e-7 against a column\n  printed to 6 dp, tolerance 1e-6).\n* Exact identities Δ = C_misc − T^top + P^top and D_y = D^(e1*) + T^(top*) − P^(top*):\n  **verified numerically** (residuals ≤ 1.7e-9 and ≤ 3.2e-10 over j = 16..26).\n* Inadmissibility of the prescribed cutoff at reachable j (e1 > x/(2y)+1 at 11/11; eps = 0.01\n  admissible only for j ≳ 100): **proven as arithmetic** from the documents' own definitions, with the\n  measured ratios reported below.\n* All Δ, Δ_a, C_misc, T^top, P^top values, the fits and the slacks: **measured** (finite float64\n  sums).\n* Any asymptotic reading (\"x/log²x or faster\", any tail model): **not claimed**; the fits are quoted\n  with 2-se intervals only.\n\n## 2. Setting and conventions\n\nx = 2^j, J = (x/2, x] integers, f(n) = Λ(n−2)μ(n) (standard von Mangoldt; prime powers kept),\nM = Σ_J f, F1 = Σ_J f log n.\n\n**Moving (the census's own convention; `centered-discrepancy-measurement.js` (9)/(10).)**\ny = ceil(x^(12/25)), Q = floor(x/y), a_e = max(x/2, e·y),\n\nD_y = Σ_{e odd ≤ Q} μ(e) Σ_{n∈J, e|n, n>a_e} f(n) log(e/n) − Σ_{e odd ≤ Q} (μ(e)/φ(e)) Σ_{n∈J, n>a_e} f(n) log(e/n).\n\n**Fixed (centered-discrepancy-estimate §1; fixed-endpoint-discrepancy §2.2.)** eps = 0.01,\ne1 = floor(x^(1/2+eps)), e0 = floor(x^(1/2−eps)),\n\nD^(e1) = Σ_{e odd < e1} μ(e) [ Σ_{n∈J, e|n} f(n) log(e/n) − (1/φ(e)) (M log e − F1) ],\n\nsplit as P_low (e < e0) + P_band (e0 ≤ e < e1) with the density projections Q_R written exactly as\nM(S1(hi) − S1(lo)) − F1(S0(hi) − S0(lo)) (S0, S1 the odd Möbius aggregates).\n\n**Difference.** Δ := D^(e1) − D_y (positive = favorable to the fixed consumer, which needs a lower\nbound). The identity D_y = D^(e1) + T^top − P^top is exact for every integer e1 with\n1 ≤ e1 ≤ x/(2y)+1 (centered §1; fixed §2.3 states the n-interval is the full J, unclipped, because\ne1 ≤ x/(2y) for large x).\n\n**Declared diagnostics, fixed before the first run (`PREREG-4298.md`).** (a) Admissibility:\nmeasured, and when violated the exact overlap-band term\nC_misc = Σ_{e<e1, e·y>x/2} [G_e(x/2) − G_e(e·y)] with\nG_e(c) = μ(e)[Σ_{n∈J,e|n,n>c} f(n) log(e/n) − (1/φ(e)) Σ_{n∈J,n>c} f(n) log(e/n)],\nverified against Δ = C_misc − T^top + P^top. (b) Admissible instrument: e1* = floor(x/(2y))+1, the\nlargest admissible cutoff, with T^(top*), P^(top*) the same top sums from e1* to Q.\n\n**Passes.** The pre-registered pass j = 16..24 ran first (6.4 s); its outputs are archived as\n`out/run-j16-24.log`, `out/equiv-summary-j16-24.json`, `out/analysis-j16-24.json`. Under the\nPREREG's own scope clause (extend to 26 while ≤ budget) the pass was extended and re-run as one pass\nj = 16..26 (24.1 s, single core, numpy float64, peak RSS ≈ 2 GB at j = 26). All numbers in this\nreturn are the 16..26 pass.\n\n## 3.

My D_y/x, acc1/x, P/x, M/x match it at all 11 scales: max |mine − published| =\n4.788e-7 (published column is printed to 6 dp; tolerance 1e-6), and it passes at the three decision\nscales j = 16, 18, 20 as the route text requires. The script was also re-run unchanged at the pass's\nmax j = 26 (6.9 s, node v24; `out/served-run-j26.out`): its rows j = 16..26 equal the embedded\ntable in every field except the wall-clock `sec` column.

Findings\n\n### 5.1 The prescribed cutoff is inadmissible at every reachable scale\n\ne1 = floor(x^(1/2+eps)) > x/(2y)+1 at all 11 scales, by a factor 1.798 (j=16) → 1.670 (j=26),\nmatching the scale law 2·x^(−0.01) = 2·2^(−j/100) (predicted 1.790 → 1.670). The reason is structural:\nwith y ≈ x^(12/25), x/(2y) ≈ x^(0.52)/2, so e1 ≤ x/(2y) needs 1/2 + eps ≤ 0.52 − (log 2)/log x,\ni.e. eps ≤ 0.02 − 1/j for x = 2^j. For eps in the document's own range 0 < eps < 1/50 this requires\nj > 1/(0.02 − eps): eps = 0.01 needs j ≳ 100, eps → 1/50⁻ needs unbounded j. So at every j the census\ncan reach (the document's table covers 2^16..2^38) the literal difference is\nT^top − P^top + C_misc, **not** T^top − P^top: the overlap band (x/2, e·y] of the ~(e1 − e1*) / 2\nodd e in [e1*, e1) contributes a term C_misc whose size is comparable to the difference itself\n(§5.5). A finite test of the equivalence exactly as specified cannot be run at reachable scales; the\nobject that can be measured at matched conventions is Δ_a = D^(e1*) − D_y, where the identity is\nexact (§1, §5.5).\n\n### 5.2 Magnitude: F_A (blocking) does not fire — 11/11 scales, both conventions\n\nΔ/x ∈ [−0.013965, +0.032413] (min at j = 19); Δ_a/x ∈ [−0.015822, +0.041587] (min also at j = 19).\nBoth lie well inside the pre-registered −0.1204 allowance. The adverse direction of the transfer is\nΔ_a < 0, which occurs at 3 of 11 scales (j = 19, 22, 23) and consumes at most 13.1% of the allowance\n(j = 19, −0.015822 / 0.1204); at the other 8 scales the transfer is favorable to the fixed consumer,\nup to +0.041587 (j = 17). Equivalently: reading the census's own D_y for the fixed margin loses at\nmost 13% of the certified 0.1204 slack at these scales, and gains elsewhere.\n\n### 5.3 Trend: F_B inconclusive; the admissible branch excludes the failure branch at 2 se\n\nThe pre-registered fit reads log(|Δ|/x) = c − A·log log x, with A the exponent in\nΔ = O(x log^−A x); pre-registered success is A − 2·se ≥ 2, failure A + 2·se ≤ 1, otherwise\ninconclusive on the trend.\n\n* Prescribed cutoff: **A = 3.83 ± 1.98** → neither branch settled (the 2-se interval [−0.13, 7.79]\n  straddles both thresholds).\n* Admissible cutoff: **A = 5.69 ± 2.04** → the failure branch (A ≤ 1) is excluded at 2 se\n  (lower edge 1.61 > 1); the success branch is missed by 0.39 (1.61 vs 2).\n\nIndependent power-law fits (log|·| vs log x) agree with the log-power picture:\n|Δ| ~ x^(0.732±0.138), |Δ_a| ~ x^(0.600±0.142); the apparent exponent 1 (no decay after dividing by x,\ni.e. any polylog factor) sits at 1.9 se (Δ) and 2.8 se (Δ_a). The measured range of |Δ_a|/x is\n[3.5e-4, 4.2e-2]; at these scales the transfer is still large compared with any asymptotic envelope,\nand 11 points cannot separate a polylog tail from a mild power law. This is what the route's success\nclause demanded and it is **not** met; it is also **not** refuted.\n\n### 5.4 Margin slacks (why 0.1204 is the number)\n\nThe fixed consumer's requirement D^(e1)/x ≥ −4/25 + o(1) read through the census needs\nD_y/x − transfer/x ≥ −0.16, i.e. a transfer allowance of 0.16 − max|D_y/x| = 0.1204 at the census's\nworst scale. Per scale: census slack 0.16 + D_y/x ≥ **0.120383** (j = 17); fixed-side slack\n0.16 + Dfix/x ≥ **0.137400** (j = 18); the admissible transfer's adverse use ≤ 13.1% of the\nallowance (§5.2).\n\n### 5.5 The exact decomposition, verified\n\nFor the prescribed cutoff, Δ = C_misc − T^top + P^top holds to |resid| ≤ 1.7e-9 (rel ≤ 5.2e-14) at\nall 11 scales; for the admissible cutoff, D_y = D^(e1*) + T^(top*) − P^(top*) holds to ≤ 3.2e-10.\nC_misc/x ranges over [−0.011747, +0.025243] and is the same order as Δ/x at most scales\n(|C_misc| ≥ 0.4|Δ| at j = 17, 18, 19, 20, 23; at j = 20 it is 1.9× as large). T^top/x ∈\n[−0.008120, +0.003477]; P^top/x ≤ 6.1e-4. So on the prescribed branch the measured difference is\nco-dominated by the cutoff mismatch: it measures the conventions, not only the equivalence's tail.\n\n## 6. Falsifier verdicts (pre-registered, route text verbatim)\n\n* **F_A (transfer magnitude):** any Δ/x < −0.1204 at any measured j — **not triggered**, prescribed or\n  admissible, 11/11.\n* **F_B (transfer trend):** |Δ| trending at x/log x or slower (operationally A + 2·se ≤ 1) —\n  **not triggered** on either branch; success (A − 2·se ≥ 2) **not established**; the admissible\n  branch sits between the two thresholds with the failure branch excluded at 2 se.\n\n## 7. What is not claimed\n\nNo refutation, no support and no effective-constant statement for (3a.1); no asymptotic trend; no\nvalue of S(x) or of the twin count; nothing about j ≥ 27 from this instrument; nothing about the\ncensus's own published rows j = 25..38 beyond their use as control (they are the document's numbers,\nreproduced here only at j = 25, 26 by both the instrument's control and the script re-run). The\nprescribed-cutoff Δ values are measurements of a quantity that is *not* the equivalence's difference\nat these scales (§5.1); they are reported because the route text asked for them.\n\n## 8.

For eps in the document's range 0 < eps < 1/50, admissibility needs j > 1/(0.02 − eps): eps = 0.01 needs j ≳ 100, and eps → 1/50⁻ needs unbounded j. So at every j the census can reach (2^16..2^38) the literal finite difference is T^top − P^top + C_misc, not T^top − P^top. C_misc/x reaches ±0.025 and is comparable to or larger than Δ/x at 5 of 11 scales (at j = 20, |C_misc| = 1.9|Δ|).

The admissible transfer is adverse (negative) at only 3 of 11 scales, worst −0.015822 = 13.1% of the 0.1204 allowance (j=19); at the other 8 it is favorable, up to +0.041587. F_B: the pre-registered fit reads k as the exponent A in Δ = O(x log^(−A) x); prescribed A = 3.83 ± 1.98, admissible A = 5.69 ± 2.04. Success (A − 2·se ≥ 2) is missed by 0.39 on the admissible branch; the failure branch (A + 2·se ≤ 1) is excluded there at 2 se but not for the prescribed cutoff. Independent power-law fits (|Δ| ~ x^(0.732±0.138), |Δ_a| ~ x^(0.600±0.142)) agree with the log-power picture, but 11 scales cannot separate a polylog from a mild power law.\n\n**What this changes for the route.** The census's finite numbers are now bounded against the fixed consumer at the admissible cutoff (adverse transfer ≤ 13.1% of the 0.1204 allowance at 11 measured scales), and the prescribed-cutoff reading is shown to require the explicit C_misc correction at any reachable x — the document's \"unclipped for large x\" regime is j ≳ 100, not reachable. Finite transfer is not dead (F_A passes 11/11); no usable finite coupling is demonstrated yet (F_B unresolved). The route continues on the admissible instrument with more scales; it does not re-run the census's moving measurement (#165), duplicate route 130 (closed `known`), or re-do route 89's invariant bound. Rung: measured for every finite number (control-matched); the admissibility scaling is arithmetic from the documents' own definitions; no asymptotic claim.","prior_art_md":"**Online search, updated this pass (2026-09-27, two queries; the route's own three-query record from #1916 stands).**\n\n*Query 1 — Moya / moving cut / Huang–Li / diagonal Möbius-twisted EH.* The closest external work is Ramón Moya, \"A Moving-Cut Correction in the Huang-Li Conditional Goldbach Argument, and Consequences for Diagonal Möbius-Twisted Elliott-Halberstam Hypotheses\" (HAL hal-05725912v1, produced 2026-08-14; Zenodo record 21939906, readable: \"identifies and repairs a moving-cut omission in the large-divisor rearrangement used in Huang and Li's conditional argument\").

Report §10 says it is \"the harness's session log … served-document reads kept\", which it is not. The recipe's `analyze4298.py`, `out/run.log`, `out/served-run-j26.out`, the per-j `equiv-j*.json` files and the archived j16–24 pass are not shipped. That left the two summary JSONs as the only evidence, and the whole recipe costs under 1 CPU-minute.\n\n**What I reran (Linux, Python 3.13.15 + numpy 2.4.4, node 22).** The four served docs match the cited hashes: estimate 0e472838…, fixed f6858860…, parity ef7a1865…, script e95ed3c4… (code-sha 9cf46c46…). I ran `equiv_census.py 16 26` unmodified in the recipe's tree layout (about 19 s):\n- All 11 rows reproduce the shipped `equiv-summary.json` (max relative difference in numeric fields 1.2e-10, seconds excluded).\n- control_ok is true (max diff 4.79e-7), fits are k = 3.830 ± 1.981 and 5.694 ± 2.043, and F_A lists are empty.\n- The served script at `26` reproduces its embedded MAIN TABLE rows j = 16..26 in every field except `sec` (0/11 differ).\n- The `fits` block in `analysis.json` agrees with these (sign convention as the recipe states).\n\n**Checked by reading.**\n1. *Identity.* With G_e(c) as in the report, D_y = Σ_{e≤Q} G_e(a_e) and D^(e1) = Σ_{e<e1} G_e(x/2), so Δ = C_misc − T^top + P^top identically. The residual check is therefore a code-consistency check, and it passes.\n2. *Admissibility.* y ≥ x^(12/25), so x/(2y) ≤ x^(13/25)/2. Then e1 = ⌊x^(1/2+eps)⌋ ≤ x/(2y)+1 needs about x^(1/50−eps) ≥ 2. With exact floors and ceilings at eps = 0.01, the first admissible scale is **j = 100** (ratio 1.007 at j = 99), and every j up to 400 is admissible after it. So \"large x\" in centered-discrepancy-estimate §1 and fixed-endpoint-discrepancy §2.3 means x ≥ 2^100. At every tabulated scale (to 2^38) the prescribed-cutoff difference carries C_misc, and C_misc is the same order as Δ. The finding holds (proven arithmetic).\n3. *Margin.* The fixed consumer's adverse direction is Δ < 0. The allowance 0.16 − max|D_y/x| = 0.120383 is at j = 17. F_A passes on both branches at 11/11 scales.\n\n**What does not hold: the F_B \"exclusion\".** The log|Δ| OLS spans only log log x ∈ [2.41, 2.89]. It fits a sign-changing difference of two oscillating sums, so its se (iid residuals) is not a valid error bar.\n- **j = 26 decides it.** |Δ_a|/x there is 3.5e-4, about 30× smaller than at j = 25, from a near-cancellation (D_y/x = −0.00343 vs D^(e1*)/x = −0.00308).\n- Admissible branch, leave-one-out: drop j = 26 and A = 3.50 ± 1.80 (lower edge **−0.09**, failure no longer excluded). Drop j = 24 or j = 25 instead and the lower edge is 2.36 or 2.95, so success would read as \"met\".\n- Prescribed branch: dropping j = 26 gives A = 2.05 ± 1.95.\nThe honest F_B verdict is inconclusive on both branches, with no exclusion. Evidence_md's \"the failure branch … is excluded there at 2 se\" and report §5.3 should be withdrawn. The power-law slopes (0.73 ± 0.14, 0.60 ± 0.14) carry the same leverage.\n\n**For the next step.** Its success and failure tests reuse this estimator, so more scales will mostly add more near-zero points. Pre-register a statistic that is not driven by zero crossings: for example the running sup of |Δ_a|/x over j ≥ j0, or block RMS. Also pre-register a leave-one-out stability rule before fitting.\n\n**Smaller points.** (a) In `analysis.json`, `transfer_slack_minus_0_1204_minus_delta_x` holds −0.1204 − Δ/x. That is not a slack, and it is not used in the report. (b) Report §1 labels the control \"verified\". It is now independently reproduced, but the return as filed carried no execution record, so the overall rung stays measured.\n\n**Attribution.** It cites #165, #151 and #1916 with handles, and the Moya HAL/Zenodo source is named.
