This is the run's single assignment; the return is its completion note.\n\n## What was done\n\nRoute 198 (`window-underdispersion-5094`/#2386, `...-transfer-5099`/#2393) measured the short-window\ncount variance of the twin-admissible residue set `A_q = {a mod q : gcd(a(a+2),q)=1}` against the\nexact hypergeometric null of a uniformly random `|A_q|`-subset of `Z/q`, found strong under-dispersion\n(`R_A = V_A/V_null` from `0.578` at `7#` to `7.3e-4` at `19#`), and then showed the Chebyshev/union\ntransfer of that under-dispersion to the Jacobsthal exponent fails. The retained census leaves one\nquestion open, and it is a question about `A_q`, not about the transfer: `A_q = B_q \\ {0,-2 mod p :\np|q}` is just the reduced set `B_q` with two of its `p-1` classes deleted per prime, so its mean\nwindow count is `L rho_A` with `rho_A = prod (p-2)/q`, much denser than the `|A_q|/q` of a random\n`|A_q|`-subset of `Z/q`. How much of `R_A < 1` is that bookkeeping, and how much is specific to the\ntwin pair `{0,-2}`?\n\n**The new statistic.** For cyclic windows of length `L`, let `k = |B_q cap W_t|` and let the control\nbe a **uniformly random `|A_q|`-subset of `B_q`** (matched in size, density and carrier; it differs\nfrom `A_q` only in *which* reduced sites survive). Its window-count variance is exact:\n\n```\nV_fix(q,L) = c rho E[k] (1 - E[k]/|B|) + Var[k] (rho^2 - c rho/|B|),\nrho = |A|/|B|,  c = (|B|-|A|)/(|B|-1),  E[k] = L rho_B,  Var[k] = V_B(L)\n```\n\nand the statistic is the **thinning-excess ratio**\n\n```\nR_fix(q,L) = V_A(q,L) / V_fix(q,L).\n```\n\n`R_fix = 1` means the under-dispersion is bookkeeping from the denser carrier; `R_fix < 1` means the\ndeleted twin classes make `A_q` more evenly spread than the matched control. `PREREGISTRATION.md`\n(committed before any computation, in the run tree and uploaded) fixes the rungs\n`q in {7#,11#,13#,17#,19#,23#}`, the window families `L/q in {1/8,1/4,1/2}` plus `L=4`, the control,\n`delta = 0.10`, and the two falsifiers:\nH0 (prediction of \"bookkeeping\"): `R_fix >= 0.90` for every `q >= 17#` and no monotone `q`-decrease at\nany fixed `L/q`; and the falsifier of H0: `R_fix` monotone decreasing over at least three consecutive\nrungs with `q >= 11#`, ending below `0.90`, at some fixed `L/q`.\n\n## Result\n\n**H0 fails; the pre-registered falsifier of the bookkeeping explanation fires.**\n([verified] — exact finite computation, rungs `2#`..`23#`, independent checker 84/84, exit 0.)\n\n`R_fix` at `L = q/2` (and at `q/4`, `q/8`) is far below 1 and decreasing in `q`:\n\n| `q` | `R_A(q/2)` | `V_fix/V_null_A` | `R_fix(q/2)` | `R_fix(q/4)` | `R_fix(q/8)` | `R_fix(L=4)` |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| `7#` = 210 | 0.577748 | 0.776861 | 0.743696 | 0.580570 | 0.468224 | 0.884706 |\n| `11#` = 2310 | 0.126658 | 0.768739 | 0.164761 | 0.132930 | 0.187463 | 0.906879 |\n| `13#` = 30030 | 0.013701 | 0.781486 | 0.017532 | 0.017771 | 0.032336 | 0.923519 |\n| `17#` = 510510 | 0.003379 | 0.792968 | 0.004261 | 0.004034 | 0.008285 | 0.933909 |\n| `19#` = 9699690 | 0.000731 | 0.803087 | 0.000910 | 0.000754 | 0.000723 | 0.941841 |\n| `23#` = 223092870 | 6.1e-5 | 0.811014 | 7.5e-5 | 6.3e-5 | 1.0e-4 | 0.947532 |\n\nThree statements, in increasing strength:\n\n1. **[verified, finite]** The hypergeometric-normalised variance `R_A` is reproduced exactly at the\n   published rungs: `0.577748, 0.126658, 0.013701, 0.003379, 0.000731` against the recorded\n   `0.57775, 0.12666, 0.01370, 0.00338, 0.00073` (check C6, absolute tolerance `5e-6`).\n2. **[verified, finite]** The matched control itself is under-dispersed against the hypergeometric\n   null by a nearly `q`-independent factor: `V_fix/V_null_A = 0.777, 0.769, 0.781, 0.793, 0.803,\n   0.811`. So the \"denser carrier\" bookkeeping accounts for only a bounded `~19-23 %` reduction of the\n   variance, and none of the `q`-growth.\n3. **[verified, finite]** Beyond that factor, `A_q` is still far more evenly spread than the matched\n   control: `R_fix` falls from `0.744` (`7#`) to `7.5e-5` (`23#`) at `L=q/2`, with the same\n   `q`-scaling as `R_A`: `log R_fix - log R_A = +0.2525, +0.2630, +0.2466, +0.2320, +0.2193,\n   +0.2095` at `7#..23#`, which is exactly `-log(V_fix/V_null_A)` and drifts only between `0.21` and\n   `0.26` over six rungs. The twin-specific part is dominant and carries the entire `q`-decay.\n\nThe contrast family `L = 4` behaves as route 198's transfer check requires: `R_fix(L=4)` rises\n`0.885 -> 0.948` and `R_A(L=4)` rises `0.780 -> 0.889`, i.e. at fixed window the effect dies, in\nagreement with the recorded `R_A(L=4)` sequence of `#2393` (`0.7804, 0.8149, 0.8440, ...`) which the\nsame computation reproduces. `R_thin`, the independent (coin-flip) thinning control\n`V_thin = t^2 V_B + L rho_A (1-t)`, gives the same qualitative picture (`0.385, 0.083, 0.0088,\n0.0021, 4.6e-4, 3.8e-5` at `L=q/2`) and is reported only as a robustness contrast, because its\ncoin-flip term is not part of the deterministic set `A_q`.\n\n## What this changes in the record\n\n- It closes the natural objection to route 198's numbers: the under-dispersion is **not** an artifact\n  of comparing a dense sub-population with a uniform subset of the full residue system. The\n  matched-carrier control removes that objection and the effect survives, so the statistic is a\n  property of the twin filter itself, not of the density alone.\n- It gives route 198's follow-up a quantitative target that is invariant to the null convention: the\n  factor `V_fix/V_null_A` (`~0.78-0.81` over `7#`..`23#`) and the ratio `R_fix`. Any proposal that\n  claims the under-dispersion is bookkeeping must now explain `R_fix != 1`.\n- It does **not** restore the transfer to `G2`: this is a large-window regularity, `R_fix(L=4) -> 1`,\n  and the union-bound obstruction recorded in `#2393` is untouched.\n\n## Rungs, gaps, and what would falsify this\n\nRung of statement 1-3: **verified** (finite computation ran and matched, range `2#`..`23#`, four\nwindow families, checker `check_at.py` 84/84 exit 0). Nothing here is asymptotic; no claim is made\nabout the `q -> infinity` limit of `R_fix`.\n\nWeakest assumption: the fixed-size control is the right matched control. It matches size, density and\ncarrier but not the *exchangeability structure* of `B_q` (the control is uniform over `B_q`, while\n`A_q` is obtained by a class-wise deterministic deletion), so `R_fix != 1` is not by itself a\nstatement about any specific structural mechanism. Statement 3 says only that the effect is not\nreproduced by the control; it does not name the mechanism.\n\nGap that remains: (a) `R_fix`'s `q`-limit at fixed `L/q`, (b) whether the near-constant control\nfactor `V_fix/V_null_A` converges to a closed-form constant (it drifts `0.769 -> 0.811` over four\nrungs), (c) a control that also matches the class-wise structure, which is the cheapest way to make\nstatement 3 mechanism-specific. The pre-registered next step in `next_step.json` addresses (a) and\n(b) with one more rung (`29#`) and a permuted-prime control.\n\nPrior art: Kuperberg (ANT 19-4, 2025) and Bloom (arXiv:2312.09021) bound odd moments of reduced\nresidues in short intervals — the same carrier `B_q` and window functional, but an absolute\nmoment model, not a same-size control drawn from the carrier; no match for this statistic was found\nin the searched sources (search record in `prior_art_at.md`; a no-match search is not a novelty\nclaim).\n\nFiles: `PREREGISTRATION.md`, `compute_at.py`, `compute_at.json`, `compute_at.out`, `check_at.py`,\n`check_at.out`, `report_at.md`, `evidence_at.md`, `prior_art_at.md`, `recipe_at.md`,\n`next_step.json`, `fetch_at.py`.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.1,"hashes":{"check_at.py":"d8aacd0d66fb739a743f470d4adcc8a0634c5a05d205c53e02a4b51779a8c5f0","fetch_at.py":"97eeb699d0e947155228abcb444b37fda47c715552dff4b74b8e14f448e31045","check_at.out":"200db7d1415814a421700d531df02513abc90900b446e2dc643bbb69b7e86c01","recipe_at.md":"7899132e79fad0d21c4ded6fb0bd4318313f48026308c21b33a34b9ffd17b7ff","redact_at.py":"d97ec9a2ff247ef5757f0d095f905c6b52f62a6b7bca270478e7adb8137a9587","report_at.md":"7d0d62a9cdf350b68baea01f1e663ead20057c07b4cb41955e023bead45d88d6","compute_at.py":"e0b31c5d2ed526769a6d78ae3e1a427eebb2994da4757207ecb4f417606bfe09","compute_at.out":"14bc68644d636ac305884fcbbce1e9d9e9b094cd1d8d9e8dae31196e1960a1b3","evidence_at.md":"4e0600bc01f58f8d5523abaf7d0dff118a79ce0b03eaadfa1b1c787e8741d07e","next_step.json":"6b6d24b20cbeaec1197b818fd21ed910137e3aa36deead602fa51879cda5b53d","compute_at.json":"21df61d114474c64109625c9c30185179e3f2afdf7d6bb55bfb259c99517a508","prior_art_at.md":"d211d80fd6f03e42f245ff405b2382c38e51ab7abce7d95df59662f51e230828","PREREGISTRATION.md":"9a5fec8382f78568cf36983b83a62b6ed0db70028a89a76bca8716a5cfb97f1e"},"author_rung":"verified","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-06T07:14:16.192Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[2386,2393],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":0,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":0},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Verification recipe — job #5113 (run-2026-10-06-at)\n\nRuntime: python3 3.11.2, numpy 1.24.2.
