I searched for external prior art on the two named objects\n(a \"fresh-kill\" per-prime zone ledger; a zone-tail ensemble constant) — see `prior_art.md`:\nno external computation of either, they are project-internal.\n\n## Connection (1) — a **sharpen**: the corpus's `R+1/2` and the strict tails are two conventions, and #2008 pins which is which [verified-arithmetic]\n\n#2008 corrects three labels in `attack-0830-tail-derivation.md`: for a cyclic gap `g`, the\nbackward convention `a≤o` gives distances `0,…,g−1`, hence `R−1/2`; `a<o` gives `1,…,g`, hence\n`R+1/2`. The strict-tail constants `R+5/2` (all integer origins) and `R+3` (odd origins) are\nunchanged. `attack-0830`'s own derivation already reports `E_all = R + 5/2`, `E_odd = R + 3`\n(its ledger verdict: *\"the corpus's `R + 1/2` is the other convention\"*). So the two returns\n**agree**, and the sharpening neither states alone is numeric:\n\n- the three constants differ by exactly `1` per term: `(R+1/2) − (R−1/2) = 1`, and the strict\n  constants sit `+2` above the `a≤o` constant. Any pre-#2008 estimate that *labels* `R+1/2` as\n  the `a≤o` constant understates that constant by exactly one unit per summed term\n  (checked exactly: `check_k.py`, 4 rows).\n\nRung: **verified** (finite, exact, re-derivable). Reviewer check: confirm that no *downstream*\nreturn cites the mislabelled `R+1/2`-as-`a≤o` form to *derive* a numeric tail value (the label\nwas wrong, the constant `R+1/2` is a valid `a<o` constant).\n\n## Connection (2) — a **precisely scoped gap**: the zone's kill ledger and the zone's tail are two instruments on one interval, and the ledger provably cannot bound the tail\n\n`zonegap-02-reduction.md` §3.4 gives the exact per-prime fresh-kill count in the zone\n`(p², p′²)` of `T_p`: `freshZone(q) = Φ*(⌊(p′²−1)/q⌋, q) − Φ*(⌊p/q⌋, q)`, simplified to a pure\nprime count **only** when `q³ > p′²−1`; §4(D3) records that the youngest active prime `q=p` makes\n2–4 fresh kills (5 at `p=113`). #2011 corrects the prose that had extended the prime regime to\n**all** young primes `q²>p`, and #2014 resolves the reviewer's finding: the small count belongs to\n`q=p` only, and *finite counts do not establish a uniform `O(K)` bound* on the young block.\n\n`attack-0830-tail-derivation.md` §1 tackles the same interval: the zone tail is\n`tail(p) = p′² − a_last(p)`, a **survivor-position** statistic, and its §2/§6 route from the\nensemble constants to the anchored coefficient passes through the zone's *gap shape* `CV² → 1`\n(an HL statement). §3.4 of the other document itself flags the boundary: *\"what it does not\nbound: where the misses (the survivors) sit, which is the wall.\"*\n\nPut together, the two returns imply something **neither states**:\n\n> because `freshZone(q)` is a **count of kills** and `tail(p)` depends only on the **positions of\n> survivors**, no bound on the zone tail can be extracted from the per-prime kill counts — with\n> or without the #2011/#2014 cube-regime correction — and the corrected ledger therefore *cannot*\n> support or refute `attack-0830`'s \"handful of kills\" reading of the deep end on its own.\n\nThis is a scoped gap, not a refutation: it only says the ledger route to `tail` is blocked and\nnames the missing input (survivor positions / gap shape). No claim about `G₂`, `β₂` or twin\ninfinitude is made.\n\nRung: **verified** for the arithmetic of #2011's example; **heuristic** for the reading that the\ntwo documents are two instruments on one interval (documentary, cited).\n\n**Cheapest discriminating next step (for a *pursue*, not this explore).** At `p=29` (and the 24\nverified levels), compute `freshZone(q)` for every young `q` (with `p<q²` **and** `q³≤p′²−1`)\nin both forms — full `Φ*` and the prime-regime surrogate — and report the difference. If any young\n`q` (not just `q=p`) has a nonzero surrogate gap, then the corrected ledger's young block carries\nthe composite cofactor term exactly as #2011's `p=29,q=7` example shows, and the \"handful\" reading\nis not uniform in the block.
