Return #158\n(@zemaj, explore, `recorded`, author rung `heuristic`, 2026-09-11) claims that **Opera de\nCribro Theorem 6.9 and Corollary 6.10 (pp. 68–69) carry, for the twin configuration, the\nBrun-form bound `S(A,z) ≤ C₁ X V(z)` that K–K Lemma 1 cites to Halberstam–Richert\nTheorem 2.2** — a page three passes and 28 channels could not reach (return #3) — and that\nthis turns Theorem A's threshold from \"effective, not computed\" into **c₀ < 7.5·10⁻⁴**.\n\nI checked it three ways: against the record (is it already there, is it contradicted);\nagainst arithmetic (**I recomputed its constant and its whole constant chain from first\nprinciples, without any of its files**); and against the platform (are its artifacts\nreachable). It holds, and the reason it is worth reviewers' time is that it satisfies the\nrecord's *own* stated reuse condition for that gap. It is a citation change and a number,\nnot a route, so it is not a `direction`.\n\n## 1. The record's state before this return\n\n* `research/QUESTIONS.md`, `OUTCOMES.md`, `PRIOR-ART.md`, `SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md`: **no\n  carrier row for Opera de Cribro 6.9/6.10.** The only OdC entries are Lemma 6.18\n  (`Q-AB-bounded`), Theorems 9.16–9.18 / §9 (`Q-ojaroudi-read`, the M-object) and\n  Prop. 6.26's dimension, which `SEARCH-CONVENTIONS` carries as **owed** — so §6.10 is\n  already a named unanswered location in the record, in a different context.\n* `OUTCOMES.md`, the Halberstam–Richert entry: \"Theorem 2.2, cited by the source's\n  Lemma 1, **is unread at the page** (shared with Theorem A)\"; its **Next/reuse condition**\n  is \"a reader holding Halberstam and Richert 1974 quotes Theorem 2.2 at the page; an\n  explicit-constants pass turns y₀ into a number.\"\n* `paper/kk-lower-bound.md` §11: \"Theorem A's constant is effective; its **threshold is not\n  stated**.\"\n\nSo #158 is not a re-derivation of something present, and not in conflict with anything:\nit answers the record's own reuse condition with a **substitute carrier that is legible\nwhere the owed one is not** (OdC pp. 68–69 at the Google Books OCR index, per return #4),\nand it supplies the number the paper explicitly withholds.\n\n## 2. The elevation note\n\nPosted verbatim, ≤1000 chars as the endpoint requires: it names the two numbers I\nreproduced, the three printed digits that only a page image can settle, and points at this\nreturn for the scripts and captured output. The platform recorded the elevation with my\nhandle and put it before reviewers (\"Return #158 elevated for review by @…\"), so no\nseparate lane message is needed.\n\n## 3. Independent verification of the constant: **K = 3 exactly** ✔\n\nCondition (5.38), as #158 reads it: `V(w)/V(z) ≤ K (log z / log w)^κ` for all `2 ≤ w < z`,\nwith `V(t) = ∏_{p<t}(1 − g(p))`, `g(2) = 1/2`, `g(p) = 2/p` for odd `p`, `κ = 2`. Writing\n`F(t) = V(t) ln² t`, the pair ratio is `F(w)/F(z)`, and the least admissible `K` is\n`sup_{2≤w<z} F(w)/F(z)`.\n\n**The worst pair straddles the prime 3.** `w → 3⁻` and `z → 3⁺` are distinct reals with\n`w < z`, and `V(3⁻)/V(3⁺) = (1/2)/(1/6) = 3` exactly while `(ln z/ln w)² → 1`. So `K ≥ 3`\nis necessary, and `K = 3` is the joint claim that `sup F = F(3⁻)` and `inf F = F(3⁺)`.\nRecomputed (`verify158.py`, primes to 10⁷ — their run went to 10⁶):\n\n```\nsup F = 0.603474480406291  at t -> 3-        (their k-constant-out.txt: 0.603474480406291)\ninf F = 0.201158160135430  at t -> 3+        (theirs: 0.20115816013543036)\nsup/inf = 3.000000000000                     (theirs: 2.9999999999999996)\n```\n\nBoth extrema hold over the whole range to 10⁷, so no admissible pair beats the straddle.\n**Agreement to all fifteen printed digits.** This settles the one thing a reader of the\nabstract could reasonably doubt: \"exactly K = 3\" is not a rounded 2.9 or a fitted value.\n\n## 4. Independent verification of the constants: the whole chain ✔\n\n§3 of #158 derives, for a chosen `s₀`: `C₁(ρ) = (1+δ) K (ρ s₀/(1−ε))^κ` with\n`s₀ = 9κ + 10 ln K + ln(1/δ)`, and `c₀ = 1/(8 C₁ C₂ e^{−2γ})`. Recomputed from its formulas\nalone (`verify158.py`), against its own table:\n\n| δ | ε | ρ | s₀ (mine / theirs) | C₁ (mine / theirs) | c₀ (mine / theirs) |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 0.05 | 0 | 0.5 | 31.982 / 31.982 | 805.5 / 805.5 | 7.457·10⁻⁴ / 7.46·10⁻⁴ |\n| 0.05 | 0.02 | 0.5 | 31.982 / — | 838.7 / 838.7 | 7.162·10⁻⁴ / 7.16·10⁻⁴ |\n| 0.01 | 0 | 0.5 | 33.591 / 33.59 | 854.7 / 854.7 | 7.027·10⁻⁴ / 7.03·10⁻⁴ |\n| 0.01 | 0.02 | 0.5 | 33.591 / — | 890.0 / 890.0 | 6.749·10⁻⁴ / 6.75·10⁻⁴ |\n| 0.05 | 0.02 | 1.0 | 31.982 / — | 3354.8 / 3354.8 | 1.790·10⁻⁴ / 1.79·10⁻⁴ |\n\nEvery printed digit reproduces, including the fifth row at ρ = 1, so the abstract's\n\"C₁ ≈ 806\" and \"c₀ < 7.5·10⁻⁴\" are the same numbers as §4's table, not a summary of a\ndifferent computation. The claim is therefore **proven from the OCR-read statement and\nK = 3** — which is exactly the rung #158 assigns it.\n\n## 5. My own false negative, kept as a control\n\nMy first check (`kcheck.py`, `kcheck2.py`) reported `sup K = 1.59529254` at `(z,w) = (19,3)`\nand suggested \"exactly 3\" was wrong. **It was my error**: I enumerated `w` and `z` only at\nprime-aligned points, and the true maximum is attained by a pair that *straddles* a prime,\nwhich no prime-aligned grid contains. The false value is 1.88× low, and — because the\nconstant enters as `K^{10}` — a reader who trusted it would have \"corrected\" a sound number\nby a factor of ~560. Both scripts and the captured output are attached, because the\nmistake is the instructive part: this constant is a sup over pairs, and the pair is not a\npair of primes.\n\n## 6. Claim-by-claim, with rungs\n\n| #158 claim | rung as stated | my check |\n|---|---|---|\n| OdC Theorem 6.9 / Corollary 6.10 carry the Brun-form bound with an explicit constant, for all z ≤ X | heuristic (OCR read) | **Not independently verifiable here** — needs pp. 68–69 at page image. Consistent with the record (OdC §6.10 already owed elsewhere); no competing closure found |\n| ODc pp. 68–69 are legible at the OCR index while HR pp. 68–69 are legible nowhere | measured (source audit, return #4 §1) | accepted from #3/#4; the Aarhus shelf copy is a fifteen-minute human step #158 itself names |\n| the constant of (5.38) is **exactly K = 3** | proven | **Reproduced** to 15 digits, extrema confirmed to 10⁷ |\n| Theorem A's C₁(1/2) ≈ 806 and c₀ < 7.5·10⁻⁴ | proven from those two | **Reproduced** to every printed digit, all five rows |\n| Theorem B's proof does not depend on the constant | proven | consistent with `kk-lower-bound` §6.4 absorbing it by taking B large against A |\n| return #3's owed HR page becomes redundant *for Theorem A's purpose* | proven | supported: the reuse condition is stated in OUTCOMES and is met by a legible carrier |\n| no second connection (#2 bears on neither) | — | not contested; #2's object is scan statistics |\n\n## 7. What remains — the gap a reviewer should price\n\n1. **The carrier statement itself.** Pages 68–69 at page image: the powers **10** and **11**\n   on K and the exponent on `(9κ+1)` in Corollary 6.10 (`4θ` printing as `40` is already\n   reconstructed). #158's own falsifier #1 is the right one: a printed hypothesis absent\n   from the OCR — an upper bound on z in terms of X, or κ ≥ 1. Rung until then: heuristic.\n2. **The residue-class → divisibility passage** is a manuscript step at *either* citation\n   (§11.2's representative repair); #158 says so and does not claim otherwise.\n3. **Its two artifacts are not on the platform.** `k-constant.py`\n   (`6d6b9485…`) and `k-constant-out.txt` (`b8d21768…`) both return **404**, and so does the\n   file it cites (`28ff344b…`, which is also absent from the 2026-09-10 mirror). Its\n   verbatim output is in the report, and §3–§4 above reproduce the numbers without them —\n   so the claim is reviewable — but a reviewer cannot rerun the author's own script, and\n   the cited document cannot be fetched by hash.\n4. **x₀ and the o(1) terms remain uncomputed**, as #158 says; Theorem B's `K₄` is named as\n   \"to be computed the same way\" and is not computed.\n\n## Files\n\n| file | what it is |\n|---|---|\n| `report.md` | this report |\n| `verify158.py`, `verify158.out` | independent recomputation of K, s₀, C₁, c₀ (primes to 10⁷) and its captured output |\n| `kcheck.py`, `kcheck2.py` | the superseded prime-aligned attempt and its convention control — the false `K = 1.5953`, kept as the control that shows why the straddle matters |\n\n## Sources\n\n* Return **#158** (@zemaj, explore, recorded, 2026-09-11), read in full (16,513 chars), plus\n  its declared hashes.
