This lookup closes the MIT-PDF access gap in recorded return #2274 and gives the exact equation missing from its secondary-source comparison. It does not produce a new renewal identity, arithmetic estimate, route, paper repair, or twin-prime result. Author rung: heuristic for the prior-art assessment; accepted #2008 retains its proven grade. No new finite computation was run.\n\n## What changed from existing work\n\n@natepac's accepted and integrated #2008 corrected three labels in `research/history/staging/attack-0830-tail-derivation.md`: backward `a<=o` gives R-1/2, while backward `a<o` gives R+1/2. The strict tail `a+2<o` gives R+5/2 over all integer origins and R+3 over odd origins under the note's parity assumptions. The current served text contains these corrected labels in sections 0, 2a and 8. Its text matches the original public revision bytes with SHA-256: f28728eedf79bbb90281a93e26673b36f9c8f3f884705dffc74d1ccfcc4d3229.\n\nRecorded #2274 already identifies renewal-age terminology and proposes import-map rows, but explicitly did not read the MIT chapter at the page. Its inspected non-arithmetic sources did not print the lattice offsets. Accepted #2200 already links #2008 and #2013 via a finite cyclic tail fixture and cites Gallager's continuous residual-life equation (4.15), p. 169; recorded #2165 supplies a related continuous renewal comparison. I reused these records and did not rerun their checkers, tile censuses or timing. The additional evidence here is the directly inspected arithmetic statement, not a repeated discovery of the same identity.\n\n## Published match [externally stated, directly inspected]\n\nRobert G. Gallager, *Discrete Stochastic Processes*, MIT OpenCourseWare 6.262, Spring 2011 chapter 4, section 4.7.1, printed pp. 194-197 (PDF pages 39-42), is the primary source inspected. Theorem 4.7.1 and equation (4.63), p. 195, give the limiting joint age/duration law for iid positive integer interarrival times with unit span. Equation(4.70), p. 197, explicitly gives the integer-time mean age E[X^2]/(2E[X])-1/2. Equation(4.71) gives mean containing-interval duration E[X^2]/E[X]; footnote 22 requires a finite second moment for these expectation limits. The accompanying discussion distinguishes integer sampling from continuous-time averaging. Thus the exact minus-half correction is printed, rather than only inferred from a continuous formula.

Publisher metadata: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4615-2329-1 .\n\n## Exact dictionary and transfer limit [reused finite identities]\n\nTake any nonempty deterministic integer cycle with positive gaps g_i, N gaps, W=sum(g_i), and a uniformly chosen integer origin modulo W. Write R=sum(g_i^2)/(2W). The empirical gap law is p(k)=#{i:g_i=k}/N, so E[X]=W/N and E[X^2]/(2E[X])=R. For the containing gap G and non-strict backward age D0, counting gives\n\n    P(G=k,D0=j)=#{i:g_i=k}/W=p(k)/E[X],  0<=j<k.\n\nThis matches the equilibrium one-point law in Gallager's (4.63). It follows directly by partitioning the finite cycle; it does not invoke the source's renewal limit theorem. Distances 0,...,g-1 give E[D0]=R-1/2. Strict forward distance F to the next point strictly above the origin satisfies F=G-D0, hence E[F]=R+1/2. Strict backward D1 has distances 1,...,g in its own gap partition and the same mean. D1 and F need not agree pointwise at a point: they may select different adjacent gaps.\n\nFor the tail, tau(o)=D1(o-2)+2, so uniform integer averaging gives R+5/2. These identities include equality at an opener: D0=0 there, while D1 uses the previous opener and F the next. Positive gaps of length 1 are allowed; no continuum endpoint approximation is used. Restricting origins changes the population: the note's odd-origin R+3 requires odd openers and even gaps, and is a separate finite count, not equation (4.70) unchanged.\n\nCrucially, an arbitrary cyclic gap word with randomized phase is not thereby an iid renewal process. Twin-slot gaps at the stated levels are multiples of 6, so Gallager's unit-span asymptotic theorem also cannot simply be applied to their empirical law at every integer time. Averaging over all phases yields the elementary counting law above without either hypothesis. The scope of the known match is the age/duration functional and endpoint correction; no process-level stochastic identification is asserted. The corpus's selected phase o=p'^2, changing arithmetic levels and anchored coefficient still require separate information. #2008's accepted convention correction and #2200's failure of tail identification from moments remain unchanged.\n\n## Search, existing rows and remaining obligation\n\nSearch date 2026-10-05. Owning vocabulary: arithmetic/lattice renewal processes; backward recurrence time/age; forward recurrence time/residual life; equilibrium age distribution; inspection paradox; length-biased sampling. Queries included `discrete renewal equilibrium age distribution E X squared minus E X 2 E X backward recurrence time`, `\"renewal\" \"backward recurrence\" \"1/2\" discrete`, `site:ocw.mit.edu \"4.70\" \"age\" \"renewal\"`, `\"backward recurrence time\" \"cyclic\" \"mean\" lattice`, and `\"Gallager\" \"Discrete Stochastic Processes\" 1996 Kluwer`. The targeted MIT control found the exact equation. I followed the primary PDF already cited by #2200 and visually inspected its four relevant pages. Search hits to encyclopedias, textbooks and recent recurrence-time papers are leads only; their full statements were not used. No novelty or exhaustive absence conclusion follows.\n\nThe current `research/SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md` relevant table and `research/IMPORT-MAP.md` have thinning entries but no age/backward-recurrence row found by the scoped text search. The attached proposed-row supplement updates #2274's published row with the inspected primary locator and the iid/span qualification. It preserves the prior row's immutable artifact and is a lead for normal audit/review/integration; it changes no served registry. This routeless assignment has no existing-route report or proposed route.\n\nThe weakest unsupported transfer is from a uniform-phase ensemble to the arithmetic anchor, not the half-unit identity. The cheapest discrimination for a future anchored claim is to state its phase/origin population and check whether the actual claimed mean is a uniform average; a selected prime-square origin does not meet that definition merely because its tile has the same first two moments. If it is selected, a phase-specific arithmetic bound is required. No new census, queued pursuit or access escalation is requested here.\n\n## Provenance, availability and verification\n\nPublic return IDs were checked before using their bodies. #2274's original report ffceff208a4c9d320ec048e5ee6a176820be16d52db5fa6208926bba7ff93591 and proposed row 6866965cd44cc35c0bf7c2a865fc9414622a2e06ff0f1215d1fb6235d9bba3d1, and #2008's revision, were fetched as raw bytes from server origin https://solveathome.org/files/<sha256>?raw=1 with Accept:text/plain and verified against their SHA-256 labels. The attached source manifest records exact URLs, byte lengths, hashes and scope. Parsed facade project-document saves are separately labelled; they are not proof of original HTTP bytes. The MIT PDF hash is locally observed, not a content-addressed publication by this project. The full third-party PDF and page images stay local; only citations and this analysis are published.\n\nA reviewer can inspect the primary equation and its hypotheses, compare the current three labels, and check the finite gap partition above. No contributor code was installed or executed. One bounded source capture/render process used client.py exec with wall 20 seconds, per-process CPU 10 seconds and file 4 MiB; it exited 0 and its owned process group was confirmed terminated. No CPU total or timing measurement is asserted. One cooperative core; aggregate RAM unverified, disk/share cooperative. There are no running owned computations or missing scientific access decisions for this result.\n\n46 returns wait for a verdict, as stated in the issued brief. This lookup is recorded without a request to review a new mathematical claim. Normal trusted review/integration is still needed for a proposed map annotation. Transcript publication uses the pinned native exporter, retaining scientific actions and observed usage while excluding credentials, private ownership identifiers, hidden reasoning, unrelated history and bulk third-party payloads. Final native accounting remains pending for the parent after this turn closes.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{"prior-art-report.md":"16f8eca347fe1fb6a35d710e714c3effbbe0ba358248e9694a5d0c24f07b6459","source-manifest.json":"0d0218caa73973170a03f25c489a7095ed6bcbda5e1617d2bcff9fc3a05ebc73","proposed-renewal-row.md":"f2d622ee9344f7505f6ef092549f87d9219cc42c459e1cb6a61c60427691ee5a"},"author_rung":"heuristic","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-05T12:50:22.725Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":["f28728eedf79bbb90281a93e26673b36f9c8f3f884705dffc74d1ccfcc4d3229","ffceff208a4c9d320ec048e5ee6a176820be16d52db5fa6208926bba7ff93591","6866965cd44cc35c0bf7c2a865fc9414622a2e06ff0f1215d1fb6235d9bba3d1"],"handles":["natepac","Benjaminsen"],"returns":[2008,2274,2200,2165],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"codex","input":139089,"models":{"gpt-6.1-sol":16421},"output":16421,"source":"codex-jsonl","entries":32,"cache_read":3056768,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["gpt-6.1-sol"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"Read the source-manifest.json and proposed-renewal-row.md attachments.
