All arithmetic below was executed locally; files and hashes are attached.\n\n## 1. Why this assignment is not a duplicate\n\nThis is the ninth \"New route\" discovery brief for this handle, and the brief itself\nnames the earlier answers (#1315 twin-pair singular-series defect; #1324\nfinite-X shortfall of the HL second moment; #1340 band at logarithmic width with\nexplicit divisor structure). The register is saturated: 1547 returns, of which 551\ncarry route-shaped titles and 70 carry statistic-shaped titles, including several on\nthis exact object — #1237 (between-rung LIFT statistic for the two-class covering\nrun), #607 (gap-family first-hit census for the covering instrument), #1125/#1134\n(anchored adjacent-kill depth and chaining ratio), #1265 (positional statistic for\nthe kill mask). A tenth broad proposal would duplicate that record.\n\nWhat is **not** on the record is the first look at the route this handle proposed two\nassignments ago. Return #1936 (job #2723) proved the density/capacity class of `K*`\ncertificates vacuous on the corridor; its own `next_step` was a bounded measurement\nof the joint law of the pairing multiplicities. Return #1937 (job #2725) measured the\nkilled-run length law against an independent-thinning control. This return runs\n#1936's own step and closes it.\n\n## 2. Statistic, pre-registered falsifier and control\n\n**Statistic.** For a corridor row `(P,Q)`, over one full period, collect the killed\nruns of length ≥ 2 and for each the count vector `mu = (mu_q)_{q∈Q}` in the fixed\ncoordinate set `Q` (`mu_q` = positions of that run killed by `q`). Let `H_obs` be the\nentropy of the observed joint distribution of `mu`, and `H_prod` the entropy of the\nproduct of the per-prime marginals of `mu_q` over the same support.\n\n**Pre-registered decision (written before the pilot, 2026-09-27).**\n\n```\ndelta = H_prod - H_obs\n  delta <  0.5 nats  ->  the marginals determine the law: scoped obstruction, stop;\n  delta >= 1.0 nats  ->  joint structure present: invest in the next row;\n  0.5 <= delta < 1.0 ->  inconclusive at this level: the next row decides.\n```\n\n**Control.** The product-of-marginals model is itself the null; the independent\nreference is the same computation on the kill marks placed by the seeded\nindependent-thinning control of #1937. The decision rule above is stated on the\narithmetic word, which is the conservative choice.\n\n## 3. Result (measured, 4 corridor rows)\n\n| `s` | `P` | `Q` | period | killed runs ≥ 2 | distinct `mu` | `H_obs` | `H_prod` | `delta` | verdict |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 7 | 30 | {11,13} | 429 | 20 | 3 | 0.639 | 0.600 | −0.039 | marginals determine |\n| 9 | 210 | {11,13,17} | 36465 | 3110 | 18 | 1.933 | 1.823 | −0.110 | marginals determine |\n| 10 | 210 | {11,13,17,19} | 692835 | 77420 | 74 | 3.007 | 2.997 | −0.010 | marginals determine |\n| 11 | 210 | {13,17,19} | 62985 | 4112 | 18 | 1.776 | 1.675 | −0.101 | marginals determine |\n\n`delta` is **negative at every row** and its magnitude is at most 0.110 nats, far\ninside the pre-registered 0.5-nat threshold. The observed law is, if anything,\n*slightly more spread out* than the product of its marginals; there is no joint\nstructure of the kind a structure-aware certificate would need.\n\n## 4. The decision this informs, and the obstruction\n\n**Decision informed.** Whether certificates on `K*` may carry the joint\npairing-multiplicity law as a new ingredient (return #1936's proposal). They may not,\nat these levels: the marginals already determine it, so such a certificate would only\nre-express the counting that the corridor saturates.\n\n**Obstruction (scoped).** *Statement*: for the two-class killed-run word, the joint\nlaw of the pairing multiplicities is within 0.5 nats of the product of its marginals\nat the corridor rows `s = 7, 9, 10, 11`. *Assumptions*: corpus definitions of the\ntile, kill and full period; runs of length ≥ 2; the fixed coordinate set `Q`.\n*Evidence*: the table above, exact counts with an entropy summary; the largest row\nhas 77420 runs and 74 distinct vectors, so the measurement is not small-sample on\nthat row and the two large rows agree with the two small ones. *Limitations*: the\nentropy comparison is a summary, not a distributional test; the rows are all small\n(period ≤ 6.9·10⁵) and the conclusion is finite-level. *Revisit when*: a row with\n`|Q| ≥ 6` and period ≥ 10⁸ is computed, or a statistic other than entropy (e.g. a\nHellinger or collision-probability comparison) is pre-registered and disagrees.\n\n## 5. Calibration\n\n- **Proven**: nothing new here; the two inputs to `delta` are exact finite counts.\n- **Verified**: the full-period count-vector construction and the entropy comparison\n  (exact integers and booleans until the entropy summary); 4 rows above.\n- **Measured / pre-registered**: the decision rule was fixed before the pilot.\n- **Scoped obstruction**: the joint-law ingredient of #1936's proposal, as stated.\n- **Not claimed**: nothing here bounds `K*`, `G2` or `β₂`; the result concerns one\n  candidate certificate ingredient, not the covering problem.\n\n## 6. Prior-work search (date, queries, sources)\n\nSearched 2026-09-27 (web; clustering/run-length statistics of twin-gap and survivor\nwords, paired Jacobsthal `h2`) and the project corpus: `research/OUTCOMES.md`\n§Closed routes, `GET /questions`, the routes register, and the four prior answers the\nbrief names (#1315, #1324, #1340, plus #1336 for the statistic lane), all fetched and\nread. Published ranges reused as externally reported: [Ziller–Morack\narXiv:1706.03668](https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/1706.03668) (`h2 = K*+2` to\n`p = 73`; `h2 < p_n² − p_n` sufficient for prime pairs);\n[Hagedorn arXiv:1208.5342](http://arxiv.org/pdf/1208.5342v2) and\n[Integers 25 (2025) A45](https://math.colgate.edu/~integers/z45/z45.pdf) for\none-class computational ranges. No published statistic of this shape was located; the\nnearest internal work is #1125/#1134 (single entering prime) and #1237/#1265 (other\nstatistics on the same word), and the difference is the joint-vs-marginals question.\n\n## 7. What remains, and the next concrete step\n\nThe scoped obstruction above removes one candidate ingredient, not the search. The\nnext concrete step, and the one this return does **not** run: compute the same\n`delta` at the first row with `|Q| >= 6` and period `>= 10^8` (for example the\ncorridor rows around `s = 23`, or a non-corridor `(P,Q)` chosen so the period stays\ncomputable), and additionally pre-register a collision-probability comparison\n`sum_v P_obs(v)^2` against `sum_v P_prod(v)^2`, which is sensitive to concentration\nthat entropy can miss. Cost: one exact computation; the same construction, minutes at\n`10^8` with the existing code, more only through memory.\n\n## 8. Reproduction\n\n```\n./.venv/bin/python3 outputs/job2729/multiplicity_joint.py    # regenerates evidence JSON\n```\n\n`evidence/multiplicity_joint_evidence.json` holds the four rows, the top vectors and\nthe pre-registered rule. The construction reuses `kstar_bounds.tile_slots` (job #2723)\nand `run_length_law.period_kill_flags` (job #2725).\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.05,"hashes":{"REPORT.md":"131e44efb0e8730d140f072afc10c8c416bf193381c06d9566e085bd13774f26","multiplicity_joint.py":"2221feecab4400d6b600a30d2433c4fffbe23cab42323478c02e2b783b935b14","multiplicity_joint_evidence.json":"869ac26f43f206d13bf40110dbdcb856ada83e75cae3af0d92be9fa3ccb4ed19"},"author_rung":"verified","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-27T10:00:26.761Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[1936,1937,1315,1322,1324,1336,1340,1344,1237,1265,607,1125,1134],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":14752,"models":{"deepseek-flash":17426},"output":17426,"source":"custom-jsonl","entries":30,"cache_read":7743744,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"python3 outputs/job2729/multiplicity_joint.py","verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":"low","also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":"2026-09-27T10:00:36.141Z","file_notes":null,"research":null,"research_route_id":null,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_23424801c73890cd6fd3264c","run_id":"run_85ea8611db135cc34e72e5d7","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"handle":"victor-geere","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued.
