One new route, with an independently\nreproduced evidence base behind it and a pre-registered cheapest experiment.\n\n## What I did\n\n1. Read the closed-routes register (`research/OUTCOMES.md`, \"Closed routes\", 68 rows), the open\n   questions (`GET /questions`: 2 OPEN, 45 PARTIAL), the 226-route register, the board and the\n   research protocol (all fetched read-only into `work/served/`).\n2. Searched online for the route, its near neighbours and prior computations (record in\n   `prior_art_eq.md`): CVZ 2003 (kappa=1 gap law), MV 1986 (reduced-residue moments),\n   Bloom-Kuperberg 2023 (coprime-residue moments), Costello 2014 (Jacobsthal bounds).\n3. Read the five returns the route builds on: #2333 and #2339 (route 191), #2356 (route 194),\n   #1457 and #2497 (route 143), plus #2244.\n4. **Independently reproduced** the accepted kappa=1 gap-law spectrum (`gap_law_eq.py`), and wrote\n   `check_eq.py` (offline, stdlib, no producer import) with a `--corrupt` negative control.\n\n## Rung of each claim\n\n- **Reproduction (EXACT, reproduced):** `G2(11#,13#,17#,19#,23#) = 14,22,26,34,40`;\n  `Var/mu^2 = 0.2727, 0.3070, 0.3337, 0.3570, 0.3761`; `M4/M2^2 = 3.6050, 4.2271, 4.6529,\n  4.9405, 5.1422` — every digit of #2333 matches. `check_eq.py`: **26/26 PASS, exit 0**;\n  `--corrupt`: **2 FAIL, exit 1**.\n- **Definitional correction (bookkeeping, not a refutation):** #2333's quoted `M4/M2^2` is the\n  *central* fourth moment over `Var^2`; the raw ratio is `2.106..2.725`. With the central reading\n  there is no discrepancy. This is recorded so a successor does not mis-read \"M4\".\n- **The proposal (CONJECTURAL object; the step is unexecuted):** the bridge from the gap law's\n  central moments to the dial's `M_2k(h)`. No derivation and no bound is claimed here.\n\n## The proposed route\n\n**Bridge test: do the reduced-residue gap-law central moments bound route 143's covering-function\nshift-moments `M_2k(h)` at matched rungs?** Object: side A = the gap law's central moments (route\n191's object); side B = the exact window-count moments `M_2k(h)` and the empty-window count at the\ndial's own `h`. Step that must hold: a map A -> B (e.g. via the upper tail, `E(h) <= N P(D>h)`).\nFirst check that could refute it cheaply: compute both sides exactly at x = 11, 13, 17, kappa=1\nand kappa=2, and test the pre-registered bridges in `next_step.json`; success = the gap-law-tail\nbound holds with margin **and** the implied dial exponent is below the counted 2.29 -> 2.94.\n\n## The gap that remains\n\n- The bridge is asserted as a premise in the accepted record (#2333's #2339 close; #2356) but is\n  **on no route and no return**, and is explicitly labelled **CONJECTURAL** by both sides.\n- There is a structural reason it may be ill-posed: `M_2k(h)` is driven by **empty/extreme\n  windows**, whereas the gap-law moments are **bulk-carried** (#2333: the largest gap carries\n  `6.3e-3` of `M_12` at `23#`). A bulk statistic need not control the tail the dial needs.\n- Finite reach: only x <= 19 is exactly checkable for side B; no asymptotic exponent follows.\n\n## Handles / state\n\n- `48` of @Benjaminsen's returns wait for a verdict (unchanged; nothing for the person to do).\n- Inbox: one person-handoff (job #3880) — a source/provenance prerequisite for a chosen expert,\n  **not** general-mode work; no action taken.\n\n## Files\n\n`work/{gap_law_eq.py, gap_law_eq.json, gap_law_eq.out, check_eq.py, check_eq.out,\ncheck_eq.control.out, report_eq.md, evidence_eq.md, prior_art_eq.md, contribution_eq.md,\nuncertainty_eq.md, recipe_eq.md, next_step.json, served/**, fetch_eq.py, redact_eq.py,\ntranscript.*}`.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.05,"hashes":{"sah.py":"21a1d3556191bf54458b13fa0ebe41b4550fb92a33ab9bee6518d82ef222c843","check_eq.py":"7b7e7ab27e619ee394dab2dabd0700a4ba33da9b89fcca7d1b6a8ba8f546ae55","fetch_eq.py":"5453450d9c48f10ced6211b7129f065c39e7b52270e7bdb008c7f0bf8b7c143f","check_eq.out":"b7ad93f272ae1b55d2940a7233742b350e752a1fa37aeb5b54053f984c67d051","recipe_eq.md":"cf12e3ec1f296b934713ab282338f69cb5c81c278b91f4b3aa28b9cd4eb80204","redact_eq.py":"40be7f94f0da00e6f252275f6ddd755fccfe924c0fc281fcc12db36a22a86f5c","report_eq.md":"18342ccbb2d37301ba708a0615240f180506fed85f7c959f5cb39f640486e2b0","gap_law_eq.py":"3a4703c0da1bf37a5ba1ea50168cc3f19210a83ec7babf76c78660f654a04ecb","evidence_eq.md":"f18a6bc5d6e57fab6182273d4b27f524bbeb1564a2e2dee9b37d2ed782a43d97","gap_law_eq.out":"922300ac8165c93cd53e2530b82735548747d62080e1e64cc883e1de3ba8a665","next_step.json":"0586b62d8904bad38ad7830511ac4039f166c26333636d8fc64671360eeae090","gap_law_eq.json":"922300ac8165c93cd53e2530b82735548747d62080e1e64cc883e1de3ba8a665","prior_art_eq.md":"14d6017c85eda08315227afc9646f006a5e42fbcbb7856d9cf02d03042768318","served-README.md":"3ff794ee18a63e8a56a978841ec0d6a6fb9f3d8ef485e867b4e5602118cbbe4a","served-board.json":"0a465f5e665b3552922d659708dbd1be88dc011a5388223e21acc4b95ca64a05","uncertainty_eq.md":"ab26db022016a481f63e3ab3799b5d23fd13ee2637f5a153416385bde5450429","contribution_eq.md":"d22af8d74f7cf0ea5b318a918a63d726d3c6ff9b97021a180a8e54cb345a2ca1","served-OUTCOMES.md":"3fdbc52c81b29a825f659eb720523326503aece1ef2d65c2b5f74a76989ade8b","served-PRIOR-ART.md":"e86d34c68df745986750105712cfbc8ce0c708e996854eb64cd0090e75b6c456","served-QUESTIONS.md":"de3354dd6254d5bf1814b8618874a9040ac515ac17f1e3d0030041abc2c1431f","check_eq.control.out":"aeea1ececb4d742d13af8299b0a6c581e83af8cf7b7761bf6dc23e03ec1f8707","served-routes_all.json":"4b8d0acc32f6a26abe6a3a8f6c7097b3a757bc38666567137b54dcd049ab780a","served-return-1457.json":"c75a4967ec6ffae7a8dbbcd42b089308c1f849ba873140a28a626977bcfa6544","served-return-2244.json":"8e2494608ccf7818c74e82935abd253a95493e99016ad36088d4d0721ab83781","served-return-2333.json":"5e6c2eb33181041f29ebd596669daff09acbb7a7f200ee1fa8122a78c4495334","served-return-2339.json":"60db9831dabf24be8b106bf4adcbb8caef80df0740f70e81366a6786f7bbd7ff","served-return-2356.json":"c8bd4394b44b94d42dd0950a61430ba9dbdb01b183298896cf39329d5025344c","served-return-2497.json":"dc52d5dcd5950fe9cfffab4ea1f802b027877da8ab0c02d1b2e749d39174d2cd","served-SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md":"dbc250e1f8c847c531727acdb428574f4cfc124a28ce04319b1cb09101296d3b","served-research-protocol.txt":"1c186df58b09d50862679c52a5ef87e8b2b265ac78535d42ca245b102c5f0c8c"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-08T09:39:22.999Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[2333,2339,2356,1457,2244],"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":"# Recipe — reproduce the evidence\n\nAll commands offline; python3 3.11 + numpy.

The dial only needs it at `k ~ x/log x` and (via\n  `#empty <= M_2k/mu^{2k}`) as a bound on the number of **empty** windows of length `h`.\n- The gap law (`Var/mu^2`) is a **bulk** statistic of the consecutive-gap distribution. #2333\n  itself records that the largest gap carries only `6.3e-3` of `M_12` at `23#`: the gap-law\n  moments are **bulk-carried**, whereas the dial's relevant events are the **extreme (empty)\n  windows** far in the tail.

Any positive\n  reading is a finite calibration, not a proof of the dial.\n- **kappa=2 feasibility.** The paired set `gcd(n(n+2),q)=1` has density `prod(1-2/p)`; at `23#`\n  this is ~`4.3e8` on the full period, so side B for kappa=2 may require the same bounded\n  adaptation #2356 flagged.\n\nNovelty is **not established**: MV 1986 and Bloom-Kuperberg 2023 bound the count's moments\ndirectly; the closest object to `M_2k(h)` is already classical for kappa=1 (see `prior_art_eq.md`).\nThe contribution is the *bridge test*, not a claim that `M_2k(h)` itself is new.","contribution_md":"# Contribution — a bridge test between the accepted reduced-residue gap law and the moment dial\n\n## The object\n\nRoute **143**'s moment dial (origin #1457; latest #2497) is the project's direct lever on the\nproved exponent **4.26645 -> target 2**.

Then the gap-law lever is genuinely connected to the dial and a bounded pursuit of a gap-law-assisted M_2k bound is warranted (link to route 143).","question":"At matched rungs, does the reduced-residue gap law's own central-moment spectrum bound route 143's covering-function shift-moment input M_2k(h) at the dial's window length h, and if so with which exponent? Or are the two objects unrelated, so the whole gap-law family (routes 191/194) is the wrong lever for the dial?","budget_hours":2,"required_tools":["python3","numpy"],"required_sources":[]},"depends_on":[2333,2339,2356,1457],"evidence_md":"# Evidence — why this experiment is worth a bounded investment\n\n1. **It sits on the critical path.** The moment dial (#1457) is the project's only quantitative\n   lever from the proved exponent 4.26645 toward 2; its input is currently certifiable only by a\n   counting majorant whose exponent *rises* with x (#1457: kappa=2, 2.29 -> 2.94 over x = 11..19).\n   The gap-law lever is the only proposed way to beat it, and both accepted/proposed statements of\n   that lever (#2333, #2356) label the bridge **conjectural**. A cheap test of the bridge either\n   unlocks the lever or removes a live-but-unsupported premise.\n\n2. **The evidence base is reproduced independently here (rung: EXACT).** `gap_law_eq.py`\n   recomputes the kappa=1 gap law from scratch and reproduces #2333 exactly:\n   `G2(11#,13#,17#,19#,23#) = 14, 22, 26, 34, 40`;\n   `Var/mu^2 = 0.2727, 0.3070, 0.3337, 0.3570, 0.3761`;\n   `M4/M2^2 = 3.6050, 4.2271, 4.6529, 4.9405, 5.1422`.\n   This also **resolves a definitional ambiguity**: #2333's `M4/M2^2` is the *central* 4th moment\n   over `Var^2` (kurtosis), not the raw ratio (raw would be 2.106..2.725); with that reading every\n   quoted digit matches. `check_eq.py` is 26/26 on this and on the bridge wording of #2333/#2339/\n   #2356/#1457, and its `--corrupt` control flips 2 planted items to FAIL.\n\n3. **The result is decisive either way and cheap.** Both the positive and the negative reading are\n   single finite statements about the same object at the same rungs: a positive one hands the dial\n   a sub-counting input; a negative one kills the gap-law family for the dial exactly as CVZ killed\n   the kappa=1 gate (#2339). Either outcome tells the programme where to spend the next unit.\n\n4. **It reuses existing instruments.** Side A is `gap_law_eq.py`'s exact census (11#..23# in <1 s\n   via numpy); side B is the exact `S_h` window count on the same full period, plus #2244's block\n   form only if the certificate view is wanted. Budget 2 CPU-h; no new capability required.\n\n**Scope of the value.** Nothing here bounds `G_2` or the twin exponent; it calibrates whether the\ndial's gap-law input can exist at all at the reachable rungs. A positive finite reading is not a\nproof of the dial (see `uncertainty_eq.md`)."},"research_route_id":227,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_0e793a31e299699dfaaa6fee","run_id":"run_c675e78fc1941e5b9d51118d","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"handle":"Benjaminsen","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued.
