The\nlower bound holds uniformly for every normalized probability average\nof the initial cutoffs in the admissible intervals. Thus changing\nonly those profiles cannot make a direct two-norm Cauchy bound\nreach scale x.\n\nThis is a lower bound for the actual full coefficients, not a\ntransfer of the larger sharp-corner norm. No claim of literature\nnovelty or universal method obstruction is made.\n\n## 1. The invariant part of every admissible profile\n\nKeep `W_L=floor(x^(6/25))`, `W_R=floor(x^(1/20))` and the cutoff\nintervals of `global-cutoff-averaging.md`. For either side let nu\nbe any probability measure on its interval [a,W], possibly depending\non x, and set\n\n```\nh(d) = integral 1_(d>u) dnu(u),\nG(n) = sum_(d|n) mu(d) h(d) beta_W(n/d),\nbeta_W(m) = sum_(r|m, r>W) Lambda(r).                     (1)\n```\n\nIn particular h(1)=0 and h(d)=1 for d>W. This includes the\nlog-linear average and the later degree-seven probability profile.\n\nFor distinct primes p,q>W, direct evaluation of (1) gives\n\n```\nG(pq) = -log q-log p = -log(pq),                         (2)\n```\n\nindependently of nu. The d=pq term has beta_W(1)=0 and the\nd=1 term is absent. This retains the r=n cancellation of the\nowning identity: G(p)=0 for p>W. Proper prime powers must not be\nsilently included in (2); for example G(p^2)=-log p.\n\n## 2. A common factor band supplies a positive norm constant\n\nLet J_x=(x/2,x]. Consider only the semiprimes\n\n```\nn=pq in J_x,\nx^(1/4)<p<=x^(1/3),\nx/(2p)<q<=x/p,\n```\n\nwith both p and q prime. For sufficiently large x, p and q exceed\nboth W_L and W_R, and q>p. Every such integer is counted once.\n\nThe prime number theorem on the dyadic q interval gives, uniformly\nover this p range,\n\n```\npi(x/p)-pi(x/(2p)) = (1+o(1)) x/(2p log(x/p)).\n```\n\nUniformity here needs no short-interval or progression theorem:\nthe arguments x/p are at least x^(2/3), and the interval has\nfixed ratio two. Partial summation with the prime number theorem\nthen gives the family size\n\n```\nM(x)\n = (1+o(1)) (x/2) sum_(x^(1/4)<p<=x^(1/3)) 1/(p log(x/p))\n = (x/(2 log x)) (integral_(1/4)^(1/3) dt/(t(1-t)) + o(1))\n = (log(3/2)/2 + o(1)) x/log x.                         (3)\n```\n\nThis is an elementary fixed-factor-range semiprime asymptotic\ndeduced from the PNT, not a newly measured prime count.\n\nEach term has `(log n)^2=(1+o(1))(log x)^2`, uniformly on J_x.\nEquations (2)-(3) therefore prove\n\n```\nsum_(n in J_x) |G_L(n)|^2\n  >= (log(3/2)/2 + o(1)) x log x.                        (4)\n```\n\nThe same lower bound holds for G_R on J_x-2. Indeed, intersect\nthe same semiprime family with J_x-2; at most two integers at the\ntop of J_x are lost. Their contribution is O(log^2 x).\nThere is no assumption that both members of a shifted pair lie\nin this semiprime family.\n\nThe family and its pointwise value are independent of the profile,\nso the o(1) in this lower bound is uniform over the probability\nmeasures in section 1. All actual cutoff floors are respected by\nthe fixed exponent gap between 6/25 and 1/4.\n\n## 3. Exact consequence and limits\n\nFor the original log-linear profiles, the owning Graham-based\nupper bound is `sum_(n<=x)|G_i(n)|^2=O(x log x)`.\nTogether with (4), this gives\n\n```\n||G_L||_(L2(J_x))^2      = Theta(x log x),\n||G_R||_(L2(J_x-2))^2    = Theta(x log x).                 (5)\n```\n\nFor other probability profiles only the uniform lower bound is\nclaimed here; their upper bounds require their own arguments.\n\nThus the product of these two *unmodified* coefficient norms is\nat least a positive constant times x log x for every admissible\nchoice of the profiles. A single application of Cauchy--Schwarz\nusing only those norms cannot become an O(x) or smaller bound by\nprofile choice alone.\n\nThis does not estimate `sum G_L(n)G_R(n-2)` from below or above at\nthat order. The original signed residual is already O(x) by the\nexisting reduction and the twin upper-bound sieve. The later C3\nprofile even has a derived absolute pair bound O(x), using a\njoint shifted majorant rather than the two separate norms.\nNeither fact is contradicted by (4).\n\nThe same-input corner/complement cancellation remains valid.\nFor the original profile its full energy is genuinely of order\nx log x after that cancellation, while the isolated corner had\norder x log^2 x. A different decomposition, a joint estimate or a\none-sided signed argument is not excluded. The sufficient twin\nmargin and the PARTIAL verdict remain unchanged.\n\n## 4. Prior work and verification scope\n\nThe live cutoff-averaging note, its QUESTIONS/OUTCOMES entries,\nthe improved smooth-majorant note and the current route registry\nwere checked. The representation change without an outside term\nwas already made; it is not rediscovered here. The route search\ndid not return this specific norm-floor claim. A focused online\nsearch used the full Vaughan coefficient, rough semiprimes,\nGraham mean square and profile-independent lower norms; it\nreturned no exact match, which is not a novelty or absence proof.\n\nThe relevant classical comparison is sieve-weight concentration,\nincluding Granville--Koukoulopoulos--Maynard,\nhttps://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.06781v4 , sections 1.1-1.2, read in the\npreceding source investigation and reused. It does not by itself\nstate a norm theorem for this beta_W-convolved full coefficient.\nThe only arithmetic input to (3)-(4) is the ordinary prime number\ntheorem. No growing-modulus, shifted-prime, or small-cofactor\ndistribution estimate is assumed.\n\nThe proof is falsifiable by a failure of (2) for an admissible\nnormalized profile, an incorrectly doubled semiprime count,\nan unpaid endpoint change, or an attempt to infer a shifted\ncorrelation from the two diagonal norms. These points are\naccounted for above. The new small checker uses exact prime-log\nvectors to test profile invariance, strict cuts, prime powers\nand the normalization/support restrictions. It does not measure\n(3) or validate an asymptotic through finite sampling.\n\nThe author run passed 54 exact coefficient cases and all 12\nnegative controls.

The Theta(x log x) statement (5) for the original log-linear profiles combines (4) with the source's DERIVED upper bound (9), which rests on Graham's imported mean square. The consequence is correctly scoped: the product of the two unmodified coefficient norms is at least c·x log x for every admissible profile, so a two-norm Cauchy bound cannot reach scale x by changing the profile alone. It says nothing about the shifted sum, and the return says so. Verification: read. No rerun, because the claim rests on the proof and not on the checker.**\n\n**Definitions.** Section 1 matches research/global-cutoff-averaging.md (SHA-256 f8206d9a…, as cited), (1)–(4). b_i=W_i (b_L=V=floor(x^(6/25)), b_R=Z=floor(x^(1/20))), and h_i(d)=∫1_(d>u)dnu(u) with nu on [a_i,b_i], so h(1)=0 (a_i>1) and h(d)=1 for d>W_i. The log-linear h_i of (4) is the case dnu=du/(uL_i).\n\n**(2), by hand.** For distinct primes p,q>W the divisors of pq give: d=1 → h(1)=0; d=p → -h(p)beta_W(q)=-log q; d=q → -log p; d=pq → beta_W(1)=0. So G(pq)=-log(pq). This agrees with the source's (8): r∈{p,q}, F(q)=rho(1)-rho(q)=1. It uses only h(1)=0 and h=1 on (W,∞), which holds for any profile of the stated form. G(p)=0 and G(p^2)=-log p also check.\n\n**(3)–(4).** p>x^(1/4)>x^(6/25)>x^(1/20), q>x/(2p)≥x^(2/3)/2>p. Each n=pq in J_x is counted once, since the factorization of a semiprime with p<q is unique. The dyadic PNT is uniform because x/p≥x^(2/3). Substituting p=x^t: Σ1/(p log(x/p)) ~ (1/log x)∫_(1/4)^(1/3)dt/(t(1-t)) = log(3/2)/log x, so M(x) ~ (log(3/2)/2)x/log x, and with (log n)^2 ≥ log^2(x/2) this gives (4). For J_x-2, only n∈(x-2,x] are lost, i.e. O(log^2 x). The o(1) does not depend on nu. (5)'s upper half is source (9), with L_i≍log x and log(x/(W_i a_i))≍log x; J_x-2 ⊂ [1,x].\n\n**Checker (read).** coefficient() is (1) as prime-log vectors with rational cut masses.
