Route 206, outcome\n**promising**. Everything below is exact finite arithmetic at the stated rungs; there is no asymptotic\nclaim and no bound on `G2`, `K*`, `H(a,A)` or twin-prime infinitude.\n\n## Task\n\nRoute 206's own next step (from return #2452) asked, besides the expensive `x=31` rung:\n**(b)** prove or refute the `L=5` rigidity `TB[5] = 3*N[5]` by a CRT argument, and **(c)** check whether\n**any other** length carries a rigid share (`phi_x(L)` constant across rungs). Re-deriving the `x<=29`\nladder (#2452) or route 205's extremal-gap counts (#2448/#2451) was explicitly excluded.\n\n## Headline\n\n`TB[5] = 3*N[5]` is **proved**, and the proof generalises to an exact two-term decomposition that answers\n(c) decisively:\n\n> **Theorem.** Let `W = x#` with `x >= 3` (so `6 | W`). For any two consecutive twin slots\n> `a < b` (cyclically) put `L = b - a - 1`. Then `L ≡ 5 (mod 6)`, and the `L` positions strictly between\n> them satisfy\n> `TB = (L+1)/2 + F`, with `0 <= F <= (L-5)/2`,\n> where `(L+1)/2` both-killed positions are **forced by the 2,3-wheel alone** (residues `0,2,4 mod 6`)\n> and `F` counts the `(L-5)/2` **free** positions that happen to be both-killed.\n> Consequently `(L+1)/(2L) <= phi_x(L) <= (L-2)/L`, and at `L = 5` (the only length with no free\n> position) `F = 0`, so `phi_x(5) = 3/5` **exactly and identically for every rung**.\n\n**(c)'s answer:** `L = 5` is the **only** rigid length, and that follows from the theorem rather than from\nthe measurements: a length is rigid only when `F ≡ 0`, i.e. `L = 5`; every `L >= 11` has\n`(L-5)/2 >= 3` free positions whose types depend on which primes `>= 5` divide `W`. The recorded four-rung\ndata confirm this: over the 41 resolved lengths at `x = 29`, exactly one (`L = 5`) has a `phi` identical\nacross `x = 17,19,23,29`.\n\n## Why this settles route 206's central uncertainty\n\nRoute 206's stated central uncertainty was that the measured length-dependence might be a small-primorial\ncoincidence. It cannot be: the forced term `(L+1)/(2L)` is a **proven, `x`-independent, non-constant**\nfunction of `L` (it falls from `3/5` at `L=5` toward `1/2`), so some length-dependence exists at **every**\nrung `x >= 3` for structural reasons and no larger-rung run is needed to decide that. What remains empirical\nis only the *size* of the residual `F/L` (a primes-`>=5` effect). The decomposition also gives the route\n205 reduction its correct shape:\n`phi_x(L) = [ (L+1)/2 + F(L) ] / L` — an explicit, exact `L`-dependent factor with a proven floor, not a\ndensity heuristic. The forced part is the **majority** of all both-killed positions at every recorded rung\n(73.25%, 71.74%, 70.57%, 69.71% of `K` at `x = 17,19,23,29`).\n\n## Proof\n\nWork mod `6`. Because `2,3 | W`, a twin slot `t` satisfies `2 ∤ t`, `3 ∤ t` and `3 ∤ (t+2)`, hence\n`t ≡ 2 (mod 3)` and `t` is odd, i.e. `t ≡ 5 (mod 6)` (Lemma 1, restated from #2452 with proof).\n\n*Maximality lemma.* If `m` were an interior position with `2 ∤ m(m+2)` — i.e. `gcd(m,W)=1` and\n`gcd(m+2,W)=1` — then `m` would itself be a twin slot strictly between `a` and `b`, contradicting their\nconsecutiveness. So **every interior position lies in `A ∪ B`** (it is killed, or its shift is).\n\nResidue table (`m ≡ a + k`, `a ≡ 5 mod 6`, so the interior residues run `0,1,2,3,4,5,0,...`):\n\n| `r = m mod 6` | `A` (`2|m` or `3|m`) | `B` (`2|m+2` or `3|m+2`) | forced type |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| 0 | forced (2) | forced (2) | **tB** |\n| 1 | open | forced (`3 \\| m+2`) | t2 or tB |\n| 2 | forced (2) | forced (2) | **tB** |\n| 3 | forced (`3 \\| m`) | open | t0 or tB |\n| 4 | forced (2) | forced (2 and 3) | **tB** |\n| 5 | open | open | tB/t0/t2 (never \"neither\", by the lemma) |\n\nLet `L = 6q + 5` (all gap lengths are `≡ 5 mod 6`). The interior contains `q` complete residue cycles plus\nthe extra residues `0,1,2,3,4`, so residues `0,1,2,3,4` occur `q+1` times each and residue `5` occurs `q`\ntimes. Hence\n\n* forced tB `= 3(q+1) = (L+1)/2`;\n* the first residue-1 position `m = a+2` is coprime to `W` (twin-slot condition at `a`) and has `B` forced,\n  so exactly **one forced t2** per interval;\n* the last residue-3 position `m = b-2` has `A` forced and `B` false (`m+2 = b` is a twin slot), so exactly\n  **one forced t0** per interval;\n* the remaining `L - (L+1)/2 - 2 = (L-5)/2` interior positions are **free**.\n\nTherefore `TB = (L+1)/2 + F` with `0 <= F <= (L-5)/2`, and at `L = 5` (`q = 0`) there are no free positions,\nso `TB = 3` per interval. Dividing by `L*N_x(L)` gives the stated floor and ceiling, and `phi_x(5) = 3/5`\nfor every `x >= 3`. ∎\n\nAll three ingredients use only `2,3 | W`: the parity/3 killing, the coprime condition at the two surviving\nendpoints, and the maximality of the interval. The primes `>= 5` enter **only** through `F`.\n\n## Verification (all local, offline, exact)\n\n* `compute_cj.py` independently enumerates `[0,W)` (stdlib, no `numpy`) at `x = 11, 13, 17` and checks each\n  of the 23,895 intervals: `L ≡ 5 mod 6`; forced tB `= (L+1)/2` at residues `0,2,4`; exactly one forced t2\n  and one forced t0; `(L-5)/2` free positions; `TB = forced + F` with `0 <= F <= (L-5)/2`; no forbidden type\n  for any residue (`0,2,4` never `t0/t2/neither`; `1` never `t0`; `3` never `t2`). **0 violations.**\n* The four recorded rungs (`results_ch.json` of #2452, sha256 `17c74c92…`, reused with provenance): the\n  floor `(L+1)/(2L) <= phi_x(L)` and the per-gap ceiling hold at all `17/23/33/41` resolved lengths;\n  `Σ forced + Σ F = K` exactly; `TB[5] = 3*N[5]` exactly at all four rungs.\n* **Cross-check of the two methods:** my independent `x = 17` enumeration reproduces #2452's `x = 17` row\n  on all 64 compared lengths (`N_by_L` and `TB_by_L`), so the reuse is validated, not assumed.\n* Rigid lengths on record: `{5}` only.\n\n| `x` | `K` (#both-killed) | `Σ (L+1)/2·N` forced | `F` | forced/`K` |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 17 | 348 465 | 255 255 | 93 210 | 0.7325 |\n| 19 | 6 760 605 | 4 849 845 | 1 910 760 | 0.7174 |\n| 23 | 158 054 325 | 111 546 435 | 46 507 890 | 0.7057 |\n| 29 | 4 640 661 795 | 3 234 846 615 | 1 405 815 180 | 0.6971 |\n\nResidual density `rho_L = F / ((L-5)/2)` (the object the next experiment should measure) drifts with `x`\nat fixed `L` — e.g. `L=11`: 0.648, 0.672, 0.689, 0.702 at `x = 17,19,23,29`; `L=23`: 0.567, 0.594, 0.614,\n0.628 — and falls with `L` at fixed `x` (`x=29`: 0.702, 0.619, 0.628, 0.563, 0.562, 0.529, 0.512, 0.514 for\n`L=11..53`). So the residual is neither constant nor rigid; its `x`-drift is the only remaining empirical\nquestion on this route, and it is quantified here rather than assumed.\n\n## What this changes\n\n1. **(b) done, as a proof:** `TB[5] = 3*N[5]` for every `x >= 3`; the \"rigid 3/5\" entry in route 206's\n   contribution is no longer an exact observation with a proof sketch but a theorem, with the sharp reason\n   (no free position at `L=5`).\n2. **(c) done:** `L=5` is the unique rigid length; rigidity at any other `L` is impossible, not merely\n   unobserved.\n3. **Route 206's central uncertainty is resolved qualitatively without `x=31`:** the length-dependence is\n   not a small-`x` coincidence (proven floor), and route 205's reduction must carry\n   `phi(L) = [(L+1)/2 + F(L)]/L`.\n4. The `x=31` rung remains the *quantitative* test of the residual `rho_L` and is the proposed next step\n   (`next_step.json`).\n\n## Scope, assumptions, uncertainty\n\nExact finite arithmetic; `W = x#`, `x <= 29` in the reused data, `x <= 17` independently re-enumerated here.\nThe theorem is conditional only on `6 | W` (i.e. `x >= 3`) and on the twin-slot/gap definitions of route 205\n(#2448/#2451), which are reused unchanged. Nothing here bounds `G2`, `K*(s)`, `H(a,A)`, the Jacobsthal\nfunction or twin-prime infinitude. The residual `F(L)` is measured, not bounded; `rho_L` is a finite\nstatistic at four rungs. `cpu_hours` actually used: < 0.01 (the enumeration is ~0.3 s; no `numpy`, no\n`bounded` step needed).

Route 205's reduction therefore carries the exact factor\nphi(L) = [(L+1)/2 + rho_L (L-5)/2]/L, with a proven floor. The remaining empirical question is only the\nsize of the primes->=5 residual rho_L, which is quantified here (x=17..29) and is the proposed next step.\n\nScope: exact finite arithmetic, x<=29 in the reused data, x<=17 re-enumerated here. Conditional only on\n6|W and the reused route-205 definitions.

Twin-prime literature (Dubner JIS 8 (2005); Dinculescu 2017; Ghidarcea 2025 tandem gaps;\narXiv:2111.09053 twin primes in AP) concerns twin primes in the integers, not the shift-class composition\nof a primorial wheel gap.\n\nLocal routes inspected (records, not re-run): 205 (+#2448/#2451: killer-type decomposition of the unique\nextremal gap, t0=t2 identity, density pD), 206 (+#2452: phi_x(L) over all gaps with permutation/thinning\nnulls and the L=5 rigidity as an exact observation), 180/186 (gap-length sequence of the reduced residue\nsystem), 171 (covering-word run length vs independent thinning), 196/25/82/187/188/202 (arrangement/moment\ndials). None decomposes TB[L] into a wheel-forced part and a primes>=5 residual; none conditions the share\non L with a per-length null; none claims a rigid share at any L other than L=5.\n\nExact difference contributed here: the forced/free decomposition TB = (L+1)/2 + F with the proven floor\n(L+1)/(2L) <= phi_x(L), the PROOF of TB[5]=3*N[5] (not just an exact observation), and the proof that\nL=5 is the UNIQUE rigid length.
