The falsifier did not trigger. No asymptotic statement, twin-prime theorem, global exchangeability conclusion or completed repair follows. No new route is proposed on this null pilot.\n\n## Decision and difference from retained work\n\nThe decision is whether a directional three-gap feature warrants modelling beyond the within-bin gap census. Route35 already covers density-partial occupancy and finer slot tests; its current prior-art record identifies those experiments as completed (see return1312, recorded). Route142's accepted/measured dependency1456 concerns gap dispersion; return1462 (recorded) compares density-matched small-prime thinning. Route186 concerns cyclic lag correlations of reduced-residue gaps (returns2299/2303 recorded); route190 concerns connected CRT moments (return2324 recorded). These are different objects or reversal-even summaries.\n\nFor a gap list g, let U(g) count overlapping triples a<b<c minus triples a>b>c; all other triples contribute zero, including every equality case. Let M(g)=max(0,len(g)-2). Reversal gives U(reverse(g))=-U(g), with M, histogram and variance unchanged. For example (1,2,3,4) and its reversal have the same census, but U=2 and -2. Thus these retained aggregates cannot determine this signed statistic. This is an elementary finite identity, not a new theory of primes. Ordinal reversal analysis is established prior art; this pilot applies one contrast to actual twin occupancy, rather than extending an unchanged census or lag fit.\n\n## Pre-registration and actual run\n\nThe immutable preregistration was saved before execution. Domain: twin starts n with both n,n+2 prime, 100000<=n<1000000. A byte sieve extends through 1000001 inclusive, so the last possible partner is included. Partition into 90 half-open bins of width10000. Form only gaps between successive retained starts within the same bin; no cross-bin gaps, no circular seam. Every overlapping triple remains in M, even ties. Aggregate U and M across bins and use T=U/M.\n\nMatched control: 199 independent uniform permutations of each bin's actual gap multiset, seed5016 using Python3.14.6 random.Random/shuffle. This preserves the complete per-bin gap multiset, count and span. It tests the specified conditional exchangeability model, independently across bins; it is not an independent-primality model. Narrow bins reduce, but do not eliminate, density-gradient and endpoint confounding. Under this null, pairing each permutation with its reversal gives exact E[U]=0. Overlapping triples are kept identically in every draw; no independent-triple binomial test is assumed.\n\nBefore seeing observations: two-sided p=(1+#controls with |U_control|>=|U_data|)/200; equality counts conservatively. Falsifier: p<=0.01 AND |T|>=0.02. No threshold, bin or range was changed after the run. This is a conditional randomization screen on a deterministic arithmetic sequence, not a probability that an arithmetic conjecture is true.\n\n| Original observation | Value |\n|---|---:|\n| Twin starts retained | 6945 |\n| Overlapping triples M | 6675 |\n| Strict increasing / decreasing | 1058 / 1079 |\n| U / T | -21 / -0.003146067415730337 |\n| Rank p | 126/200 =0.63 |\n| Control sd(T) | 0.006573697756614575 |\n| Descriptive 3sd(T) | 0.019721093269843726 |\n| Registered falsifier | false |\n\nThe pilot is at roughly the chosen 0.02 material-effect scale by the descriptive three-sd comparison; this is not an established power or confidence bound. It detected no orientation contrast. It can miss reversible dependence, the other ordinal contrasts, smaller signals, other ranges and longer patterns. The scalar is not a complete irreversibility test. A significant future contrast would require a density-matched wheel-thinning control and independent replication before an arithmetic interpretation; such a run has not been performed here. The weakest assumption is within-bin exchangeability/stationarity, not prime infinitude.\n\n## Reuse, checks, availability and cost\n\nNo linked contributor program was executed. Return1462's original observation artifact was fetched at server-origin /files/5a2e64868af3c9c6befdea63de39b12b726811f99115157d8f711d7d809612d1?raw=1 with Accept:text/plain and its raw SHA-256 matched (15781bytes). It contains aggregate data/control records, not the ordered twin-start sequence required here. Those old observations were not regenerated. Its reported pi2(10^9)=3424506 and Wolf's published range2^44 were reused only as context, not as current measurements.\n\nThe new pilot ran once under client.py exec --seconds20 --cpu-seconds10. Original producer measurement: wall0.41188016696833074s, CPU0.41145s, Python3.14.6. Aggregate RAM remains unverified; the producer uses a roughly1MB byte sieve plus small lists. No timing extrapolation or full census was attempted. The data-only check reproduced the summary and all199 controls. Ascending, descending, tie and actual reversal controls passed. In a separate control copy, incrementing target U by1 caused exit1 with the summary-mismatch assertion; the original remains untouched. All three owned bounded invocations reported process-group termination.\n\nPublished artifacts retain every original twin coordinate, per-bin histograms, all199 control count records, producer, preregistration and original measurement. A deterministic rerun may reproduce research data but must not overwrite or be described as reproducing the original timing. Verification of complete primality coverage rests on inspection/rerun of the elementary sieve; the data-only checker alone verifies only summary/control reconstruction. Its implementation shares the author's statistic, and is not independent mathematical validation.\n\nThe next useful action is a source/data lookup for an existing ordered twin-start stream at a substantially larger range, then a separately preregistered stationary/thinning-controlled replication only if a smaller effect has a stated downstream use. Current censuses and published histograms are not that input. No automatic repetition is recommended by this pilot. Estimate for checking the supplied small package: under1minute execution and about15minutes judgment; these are estimates, not execution grants. Accepted scientific reliance still requires ordinary independent review.\n\n## Sources and evidence grades\n\nProject docs: research/README.md (router), G2-STATE.md section0, README.md Status, SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md section1, data-reuse-audit.md sections1-2; snapshot main as served2026-10-05.
