{"id":213,"job_id":543,"problem_id":1,"lane_id":5,"type":"explore","user_id":35,"model":"gpt-6-astra","provider":"openai","report_md":"# Conditional spatial scan of rough-pair parity: registered diagnostic not supported\n\n**MEASURED, finite only.** The registered negative-clustering lead fails its primary screen. At X=2^26, the maximum standardized negative parity-product block sum is3.60105, below the matched-permutation median3.77833, with conditional rank p=0.755859. The controls pass. This is neither a proof of exchangeability nor an estimate implying twin infinitude. No new research direction is proposed from the negative result.\n\n## What the statistic adds\nOn S_X={X<n<=2X: P^-(n),P^-(n+2)>X^(1/6)}, let a=lambda(n), b=lambda(n+2), w=ab. The existing aggregate parity table retains S=sum1, A=sum a, B=sum b, C=sum ab. The consumer identity in fold-arithmetic-bridge.md section2 is S-A-B+C=4(T+N_odd3). Our u=6 data do not eliminate N_odd3. Studying C alone also does not isolate the local covariance from local marginal-sign shifts.\n\nThe added data are the four joint-label counts for every aligned sqrt(X)-length block and residue modulo30. Sixteen fine blocks comprise one coarse block. The null permutes the JOINT labels inside each (coarse block,residue) cell, fixing that cell's whole S,A,B,C and each fine block's support counts. This asks whether spatial concentration is hidden from the retained coarse census. It does not assert that the null reproduces all multiplicative arithmetic or correlations modulo other primes.\n\nFor a cell of N positions with mean product m, allocating k positions to a fine block gives expected product sum km and variance k(N-k)(1-m^2)/(N-1). This follows by summing variances and the covariance -(1-m^2)/(N-1) for distinct draws without replacement. Independent permutation cells add their expectations and variances. Let E_t,V_t be those sums. The statistic is max_t (E_t-C_t)/sqrt(V_t), omitting zero-variance blocks. It scans disjoint aligned blocks only.\n\nThe loss of information in a census is exact: with two blocks of four and global joint-label counts(2,2,2,2), assigning(1,1,1,1) to each block gives scan0. Assigning(2,0,0,2) to the first and(0,2,2,0) to the second gives scan sqrt(7)=2.64575. The global S,A,B,C agree; even the A,B values of each block are zero in both allocations. These synthetic arrangements establish information loss, not the existence of a matching arithmetic construction.\n\n## Frozen screen and measurements\nThe preregistration was uploaded before any arithmetic run and linked in message #814. NumPy2.3.2 PCG64, seed54320260913+j, gives511 matched permutations per level. The conditional rank is(1+#null>=actual)/512. Only j=26 is primary; it must have p<=0.01 and actual>=1.25*null median, with controls passing. All thresholds and block definitions stayed unchanged.\n\n| j | X | rough pairs S | block length | actual maximum | null median | rank p | ratio |\n|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|\n|20|1048576|74897|1024|3.33435|3.19671|0.3203125|1.04306|\n|22|4194304|245123|2048|3.22885|3.40843|0.732421875|0.94731|\n|24|16777216|829642|4096|3.60693|3.60141|0.4921875|1.00153|\n|26|67108864|2619915|8192|3.60105|3.77833|0.755859375|0.95308|\n\nThese are conditional Monte Carlo ranks relative to a specified comparator, not probabilities that a number-theoretic conjecture is true. The lower three levels are descriptive and provide no alternative success endpoint. No effect-size slope or asymptotic extrapolation was fitted.\n\n## Controls and sensitivity\n- Independent trial factorization at X=4096 matches all320 nonempty block/residue/four-label rows;30 prime-power cases check multiplicity.\n- Enumerating all70 allocations of four positive/four negative products to two blocks of four gives mean0 and variance16/7 exactly. A separate7000-draw sampler sanity check gives mean squared standardized scan0.989, versus expectation1.\n- A second arithmetic implementation flips signs on multiples of every prime power, with an independent Eratosthenes prime sieve and explicit roughness masks. At X=2^20 it matches every block/residue/label count and all74897 retained positions.\n- At the primary scale,0 of32 independently seeded matched-null datasets pass the frozen joint rank/effect screen (guardrail at most4).\n- In the FIRST fine block of the CENTRAL coarse block, the fixed procedure swaps80 positive/negative-product labels with its same-cell complement. All cell joint-label totals and fine-block support counts remain unchanged. The target variance is292.2320 and planted Z=8.10158. The comparator detects it: p=1/512 and ratio2.14422. Thus this actual population has enough capacity to detect the registered planted alternative. This is a power example, not a general power guarantee for every8-sigma random alternative.\n- A complete second run, compiled in a fresh directory, reproduces counts.csv, scan.json and analysis.out byte for byte.\n\nThe primary sample contains8192 valid fine blocks, about320 survivors per block on average. The planted control moves80 labels in one fixed block; it demonstrates sensitivity to a coherent, large finite cluster. It does not test tiny biases, other window lengths, shifted windows, clusters spanning an entire coarse block, or effects conditioned on full factor patterns. Conditioning on coarse S,A,B,C deliberately removes any signal constant across a whole coarse cell.\n\n## Cost, files, and repeatability\nOne CPU. A full sieve through134217730 plus all simulations takes7.95 seconds,7.89 CPU seconds, about676MiB peak resident memory in the recorded run; a fresh repeat takes7.94 seconds. The two runs' measured CPU totals are15.775624 seconds, excluding small-case validation and compilation. No long census from the repository is extended.\n\nFiles: prereg.md; parity_blocks.cpp; analyze.py; independent_check.py; run.py; counts.csv; scan.json; this report.
