Rung: **conjectured**. Nothing here is a claim\nabout the twin prime conjecture.\n\n## The object\n\nThe tile's local factor and the two norm conversions it admits. With\n`T = {r mod P : r != 0, r != -2 (mod q) for every prime q <= z}`, `P = prod_{q<=z} q`,\n`mu = (1/P) sum_{r in T} delta_r`, `mu^(v) = prod_{q<=z} g_q(v_q)`,\n\n    g_q(0) = (q-2)/q ,   |g_q(v)| = 2|cos(pi v / q)| / q   (v != 0 mod q) ,\n\nthe two conversions are\n\n    one-point price   P1 = ||G||_1 / ||G||_2       with G  = ( mu^(v) )_v\n    two-point price   P2 = ||G2||_1 / ||G2||_2     with G2 = ( |mu^(v)|^2 )_v\n\n`P1` is the record's `C^{pi(z)}` loss on the `l^1 -> l^2` step (`import-l1l2.md`,\nimport-map rows 5 and 6). `P2` is the same step read on the pair correlation.\n\n## The step that would have to hold\n\n`P2` is exponentially cheaper than `P1`: measured at `z = 41`, `P1 = 11013.70` against\n`P2 = 6.5582`, and their per-prime factors have different asymptotics —\n`rho_q -> 1 + 4/pi = 2.27323954` against `rho2_q -> 1 + 2/q`, so\n`P1 ~ (1+4/pi)^{pi(z)}` and `P2 ~ C (log z)^2`. A route that reads the maximum over\npositions off the **two-point** conversion therefore starts with no `C^{pi(z)}` bill\nto pay.\n\nThe step that would have to hold is the upgrade that the two-point reading is not\nentitled to on its own: an entropy (chaining) argument that takes two-point `l^2`\ninformation to the sup over `x` at a cost below the `C^{pi(z)}` the one-point\nconversion pays. In the record's language this is exactly the step that was closed for\nthe **one-point** metric (\"the entropy integral of the true metric already exceeds the\nunion bound at every level, 1.04-1.10x\", `history/staging/import-chaining.md`); it has\nnot been run for the two-point metric, whose distance is built from `|mu^|^2` rather\nthan from `|mu^|`.\n\n## The first check that could refute it cheaply\n\nCompute the entropy integral of the **two-point** metric and compare it with the union\nbound at `z = 13 .. 41`. The route dies if the integral exceeds the union bound at any\nlevel, exactly as it does for the one-point metric; it survives to be priced only if\nthe two-point integral is smaller, and the measured margin then fixes whether the\nsaving can be carried to the sup. Inputs are all in the repository\n(`variance-note.md` Thm 1 and `varE-spectral.md` section 1 hold the structure factor\nexactly; `import-chaining.md` holds the one-point computation to compare against).\nCost: about 1 h for the producer, no new mathematics. Cost to price the route if the\ncheck passes: about 4 h, one level.\n\nA second, cheaper refutation is already on the table and is arithmetic: if the\ntwo-point conversion is not *available* to the consumer at all — i.e. if the consumer's\nsum is a one-point sum by construction — the route is void. That reading should be\nsettled before the entropy computation is written.\n\n## Why this is not a closed route restated\n\nNearest neighbours, and the difference:\n\n- `import-l1l2.md` and import-map rows 5-6 close the **one-point** conversion, and say\n  in terms that \"the available gain is the `C^{pi(z)}` loss itself\". That is the bill\n  this route declines to pay, not the mechanism it repeats. The note's own sentence is\n  the reason to look at a different conversion rather than at a different saving.\n- `import-chaining.md` closes generic chaining \"against the maximal-law union bound\"\n  **for the true (one-point) metric**; the two-point metric's integral is not computed\n  there.\n- `smoothness-front.md` prices only the **aligned** subcase of Lemma V\n  (`x = 0 mod d1 d2`) and states that the non-aligned window factor is not touched by\n  any instrument on that front. That is the second place a two-point reading would be\n  spent, and it is un-priced rather than closed.\n- Import-map row 17 (repulsive point processes) closes *models* of the survivor\n  process on the pair correlation; it does not price the conversion of a pair\n  correlation.\n- Nothing in the register computes a two-point `l^1/l^2` price for this object at all.\n\nNovelty is asserted only as \"not found in the register\". Per the brief, that is not\nnovelty.\n\n## What would kill it, stated in advance\n\n1. The consumer is one-point by construction, so `P2` is unavailable (cheap, do this\n   first).\n2. The two-point entropy integral exceeds the union bound at some level.\n3. The margin between the two prices is consumed by the number of profiles or windows\n   the two-point reading needs per position (a factor that has not been counted here).\n\n## The exact input this route rests on\n\n`P1` and `P2` are computed exactly (BigInt fixed point, scale 1e-40, no floating point\nin any printed ratio) by `tile_conversion_prices.js`, whose closed forms are\n`||g_q||_1 = (q-4)/q + (2/q) csc(pi/2q)` for odd `q` (with `g_2` entered as the\none-class factor `(1/2, 1/2)`), `||g_q||_2^2 = (q-2)/q`, and\n`sum_v |g_q(v)|^4 = ((q-2)^4 + 6q - 16)/q^4`.
