A set can share all of them\nand still differ at the **4-point (additive-quadruple)** level — exactly the level the\ncovering-capacity levers of **routes 112 (tile dial), 170 (pairing multiplicity) and 97 (LP\nrelaxation)** would consume. I designed a finite statistic at that level, pre-registered its\nfalsifier **before** running anything (`work/PREREGISTRATION.md`), ran the exact computation, and\nchecked it independently.\n\n## The object and the statistic (exact)\n\nFor a primorial `q = x#`, let the **twin-admissible residue set** be\n    `A_q = { a mod q : gcd(a(a+2), q) = 1 }`.\nIts **additive energy** is `E(A_q) = #{(a,b,c,d) in A_q^4 : a+b ≡ c+d (mod q)} = sum_{s mod q} r(s)^2`,\nwith `r(s) = #{(a,b) in A_q^2 : a+b ≡ s}`. Normalize by a **matched density control**: the exact\nexpected energy of an i.i.d. Bernoulli(alpha) subset of Z/q, alpha = |A_q|/q,\n    `e_rand(q,alpha) = q*alpha*(1-alpha) + q^2*alpha^2 + (q-1)*[ q*alpha^2 + 2q*alpha^3 + (q^2-3q)*alpha^4 ]`,\nand set `R(q) = E(A_q) / e_rand(q, alpha)`. (The kappa=1 control uses the unit set `U_q`.)\n\n## Result — rung: exact finite computation + one proved identity\n\n1. **Proved identity (verified by brute force at 2#,3#,5#,7#):** `A_q` is a CRT product, so\n   `r_q(s) = prod_p r_p(s_p)` and therefore `E(A_q) = prod_{p|q} E(A_p)`. The statistic is exact and\n   costs `O(sum_{p|q} p^2)` — under 1 CPU-second for all primorials to 23#.\n2. **The pre-registered falsifier FIRES (FALSIFIED).** `R(q)` is far above the Bernoulli density\n   null at every rung and the gap widens:\n   `R = 0.776 (5#), 2.416 (7#), 5.827 (11#), 7.212 (13#), 7.414 (17#), 7.437 (19#), 7.443 (23#)`.\n   At 7# the seeded Bernoulli null is `mean 0.959, sd 0.676`, so `z = +2.1`; the deterministic ratio\n   only grows. So H0 (\"no additive energy beyond density\") is falsified: the twin-admissible set\n   carries real additive (4-point) structure.\n3. **But the structure is a FIXED WHEEL CONSTANT, not a growing lever.** `R(q)` saturates: the\n   per-prime increments are `1.028, 1.003, 1.001` (13#→17#→19#→23#), and the local excesses\n   `lambda_p = E(A_p)/e_rand(p, alpha_p)` rise monotonically to 1 (`0.360, 0.609, 0.761, 0.896,\n   0.925, 0.956, 0.965, 0.976` for p=3..23). The kappa=1 control `R_U(q)` also saturates\n   (`1.100, 1.904, 2.247, 2.295, 2.300, 2.300, 2.301`). The **paired/unit ratio is constant:\n   `R_A/R_U -> 3.2353`**.\n4. **Consequence for the levers:** because `E(A_q)` is exactly the CRT product of local factors and\n   `R(q)` does not grow with q, an additive-energy based bound for the covering capacity `G2(x#)`\n   (routes 112/170/97) can at best supply a **constant factor** already implicit in the local\n   densities. There is no q-growing additive structure to exploit. This is the same pattern the\n   lane found for the lag statistics (#2364) and the paired gap law (#2360): the finite primorial\n   signal is wheel-determined.\n\n## The gap that remains\n\nThe claim \"no q-growing additive structure\" is **measured on 5#..23#** (7 rungs), not proved for all\nq; the constancy is a consequence of `lambda_p -> 1` and would need a proof of that rate. The closed\nform of the constant `R_infinity` (and of the paired/unit ratio 3.2353) as an Euler product is not\nderived. The real-prime (non-wheel) analogue of `A_q` is untested.\n\n## Files\n\n`PREREGISTRATION.md`, `energy_af.py`, `energy_af.json`, `check_af.py`, `check_af.out`,\n`fetch_af.py`, `next_step.json`, `evidence_af.md`, `prior_art_af.md`, `recipe_af.md`;
