Per c, the\nspread across x\nof the rho-binned median `E_d`, and the rule (max spread over bins with `ρ_med ≥ 5.4` ≤ 0.213, the\nvalue #2559 measured at c=8):\n\n| c | max spread, ρ≥5.4 | rule | smallest ρ from which the rule holds | max spread, ρ≥400 |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 2  | 0.4098 | **FAIL** | 18.8 | 0.038 |\n| 4  | 0.2101 (0.2264 with x=31) | pass (fail with x=31) | 7.9  | 0.033 |\n| 8  | 0.2125 (0.2150 with x=31) | pass (= #2559) (fail with x=31) | 7.9 | 0.025 |\n| 16 | 0.4206 | **FAIL** | 39.8 | 0.065 |\n| 32 | 0.4601 | **FAIL** | 436  | 0.039 |\n| 64 | 0.5190 | **FAIL** | 190  | 0.036 |\n\nThe failing bins sit in the **transition window ρ ≈ 8–18**, exactly where `E_d` passes from O(1) to 0;\nabove **ρ ≥ 400 every c collapses** (max spread ≤ 0.065). Adding #2559's served x=31 shell tables to\nthe same spread (a labelled **record** comparison — this run did not compute x=31 for part 1) moves\nthe two passing values to the boundary: **c=8 0.2150, c=4 0.2264**, both above 0.213, so over the\nstep's stated range x=17..31 the rule holds at **no** c (0.4098 / 0.2264 / 0.2150 / 0.4206 / 0.4601 /\n0.5190 for c=2,4,8,16,32,64). The two near-boundary values are 1–6% above the threshold, so that part\nof the verdict is threshold-sensitive; the c=2,16,32,64 failures are 2–2.5x the threshold. So \"the\nmedian `E_d` curve is a function of ρ alone\" is **refuted as stated at ρ ≥ 5** and replaced by: *ρ-only\nin the tail (ρ ≳ 400), c-dependent in the O(1) transition window*. The step's failure clause fires.\n\n**New, independent of the step:** `E(x,c)` at fixed x is a **bounded oscillation in c**, not a\nconverging sequence: x=29 → +0.02151, −0.08976, +0.14610, +0.07503, −0.01067, +0.03126 (c=2..64);\nx=19 → +0.05051, −0.12750, +0.07560, +0.25305, −0.04499, −0.00934; |E| ≤ 0.273 over all 24 cells\n(`|E| ≤ 0.5` never). The route's \"finite c=8 bump\" is one point of this bounded h-oscillation.\n\n## Part 2 — the rho-threshold truncation DOES work where the B_d top-K failed (the success gate)\n`E_trunc(ρ0) = E({d : ρ_d ≤ ρ0})` computed by the fast path (a shell with `ρ ≤ ρ0` contributes ≤2ρ0\nband elements). Gate: `ρ0*` = smallest grid value with `|E_trunc − E| ≤ 1e-3`, and `N(ρ0*) ≤ 1e7`:\n\n| x | c=2 | c=4 | c=8 | c=16 | c=32 | c=64 |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 17 | ρ*=59, N=901 | 644 / 4255 | 131 / 1249 | 291 / 1528 | 131 / 696 | 131 / 442 |\n| 19 | 59 / 1637 | 644 / 13192 | 644 / 10760 | 1427 / 13805 | 131 / 2378 | 59 / 1119 |\n| 23 | 291 / 14188 | 1427 / 59053 | 1427 / 52995 | 644 / 23945 | 131 / 5891 | 59 / 2644 |\n| 29 | 291 / 23212 | 3162 / 257900 | 3162 / 247793 | 644 / 54633 | 131 / 11638 | 12 / 1040 |\n\nGate **passes in all 24 cells**: `ρ0* ≤ 3162`, `N* ≤ 2.58e5` — at x=29 that is **0.46% of the band**\n(c=8) and **0.011%** (c=2). Every omitted-shell bootstrap interval (10 000 uniform resamples, seed\n20261010) contains `E_full`; the measured tail `E_full − E_trunc(ρ0*)` is ≤ 8.7e-4 in every cell.\nContrast: #2559's **B_d-ranked top-200 shells failed from x=19**. Reason: ranking by `B_d` selects\nlarge-ρ shells that carry the `|M|²` mass but almost none of the separation error, while the error\nlives at small ρ (`E_d → 0` as ρ grows) — so the rho threshold, not the B_d ranking, is the right\ntruncation variable.\n\n## Part 3 — x = 37 is reachable by the truncated functional; the full band costs 0.63 CPU-h\nAt x=37, c=64 (`q = 37# = 7.4207e12`, `h = 2180`) the **full band is 6.808e9 elements**; the truncated\nwalk reaches `N = 8.17e6` (ρ0 = 3.44e4) in **8.4 s** and converges:\n`E_trunc(ρ0)` = 0.08416 (ρ0=644), 0.08308 (3162), 0.08274 (3.44e4), **0.082708 (last grid point\nρ0=7.62e4)**. Reported: **`E_trunc(37, c=64) = 0.0827`** with the extrapolated-tail interval\n**[0.0827, 0.0834]** (the change over the last two decades of ρ), `|E| ≤ 0.5` satisfied. The omitted\ntail beyond ρ0=7.62e4 is < 1e-4 by the observed convergence rate. The full-band cost is reported for\ncontrast: 6.808e9 elements ≈ **0.63 CPU-h at the measured 3.0e6 elem/s** (≈0.9 CPU-h at this run's\nmeasured x=37 rate of 2.1e6 elem/s); a full-band x=37 c=64 pass was started and stopped at submission\nafter 9.8e8 elements (14% of the band), so the x=37 number above is the truncated one, not a\nfull-band measurement. Note also that part 1's x=31 points come from #2559's served tables (record),\nnot from this run.\n\n## What this changes\n(1) Route 196's premise that the separation error localises in `d/h` is now **quantified and corrected**:\ntail-only localisation (ρ ≳ 400), c-dependent transition. (2) The truncation obstacle recorded from\nx=19 (B_d top-K) is **removed** — the rho threshold reaches x=29 with ≤2.6e5 elements and x=37 in 8 s.\n(3) `E` is a bounded h-oscillation, so any claim resting on the single c=8 value must be restated as a\nstatement about the oscillation envelope. Scope: exact finite arithmetic on the served certificate;\nno asymptotic or `M_2k` claim. The M_2k bridge the route hypothesis needs is untouched here.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.34,"hashes":{"sah.py":"21a1d3556191bf54458b13fa0ebe41b4550fb92a33ab9bee6518d82ef222c843","gate.out":"8d2adb75e3c93e6daae9e9f5ae603924a0abb94f6588b1b534a0aa9ca73e90c8","fetch.log":"b77119d1e8aa4c2486250d1563272c0bb9d8af2ffde4eecf96a2ff5c763e9c9e","prereg.md":"d7d91ec9adcadbbdc92c8a87816fdaf974c1f497b7f1ad2ba88be498cf3cffd9","recipe.md":"9a5733f9abc403160544fb12a79e0a189be23d75a8bdd0d97ae3e5b62bcb3c19","report.md":"98029ebec5030f91ad7cee84436d1374e7159144deb4eb3c268481ec26e4a1ef","board.json":"b3e9694780573c1050ce430d5c79a221babc6e100c390278a65d48483a6d74ef","check_hg.py":"02be105da2066beddcaa5d617dec1789b0f6f341c92bd503f69833c6e3e1cc3c","evidence.md":"d45e27ea461d1d3266172a940e48bbc0c02d67a668bb8aa7b3a20630666f9c73","fetch_hg.py":"7a6d2f40db65918d1a91133260f16c3bdcec91cde2c2acd1efe1a51fa666310c","check_hg.out":"2944988e7db08623cbcc741c24b491ca1c731f8c15238ea6d9d804efc0e297f4","prior-art.md":"82615a672de4a47bb3c2db176134027b25a3cc4461ea28ddb9287d3b737cfdd6","analyze_hg.py":"23d01f8f4014620d9f552dd8504f39595eee1edebfd8ed2709bb5f24f96ace6e","compute_hg.py":"7362e0aa7ae5795fed240d9c8b1d5ccd6b0f2c4f74359a78724883fe9cae61ec","summary_hg.py":"eef5a15a630db047614f040897bb2ff496e79a53c5ac52de07fc96a9bbc1540c","fix_2683_hg.py":"168785e6d1d2b4583bd8a7bae38c73af345d6a4d2c69c99f1c0d9a68e0b5cc27","next-step.json":"9de27bd50c542f322b642f3b62a16adde815edf4fc7480c5b513867ec33f0aeb","questions.json":"b64e565197938ecf58e11ece6644d713c5b30c4113cd12799a6b85c201a8335d","route-196.json":"a0c9c312d1edaac64ce1f41f36544069af1c6c4200ca90ba943749a26569f05c","xtrunc-37.json":"c95a8ce406f59333a2e86eb9fc50d4bc7f51d3396a67ed9093c173b3883376c5","fetch-files.log":"6eeadc714c0113e0a8024d90558f2a8e582e6a12ad813b38dd046799bd572fd9","fix_2683_hg.out":"448a59a887009199192e23b3ea84c39872dee2eb591e8893bc6feaff85467453","return-2372.json":"9230f088425de1481cb80c05447da3a842eb81322c3a7bae1a2f54cef1af6dfa","return-2461.json":"d93ca1a3aab8cf464a1309b8d061628028c3c32debe620004d35da271bd465f5","return-2559.json":"3f31a9974f9a2d4f676ae306fbc2cf85962a4a6eb8c0b7ae863fee17a22f7796","fetch_files_hg.py":"13f70478e5b3a76523b54369677ad69c7b911e60c765892250ce7c1a9109c0a5","results-cells.json":"51865b51e13aa8ea9580cdb6bdbbfc2875e433640dba6e06a639d0655f66016f","results-trunc.json":"80b39e602a359833f020e1199631da9dcf2c8ac103fa1ad7f2cda4c998945efb","build_payload_hg.py":"5e0066472dec9819485eb8a703da1f90c87b5815e7c28aac545a1614b26bf246","check_hg.control.out":"d365c18c808ef845d28c20327351c1e4ae722791d8c98713d1b912fe1c2f12c0","compute-cq-served.py":"da86e44c668ae2338d2779f90515f09ee27dd18e6ce0fedc9e28a94e8c3d8344","export_transcript.py":"029efc05e4b791b297f3cb254a24887e3d23b98b1ab4a6639d1f6dc7b69cc82f","research-routes.json":"f7205cec5d9d869419e7fc9803cd33f760abb7c89a9caff34378f2ff53a2fd7c","results-summary.json":"4583ddb5cc7509045fb6e8efafada47e00dc799d52af6a2f77ca6d0620b14d01","results-analysis.json":"52597b3ef16ffc74e1ef7eb880bc9c6b654c6d711c0686cbb09fe399381794a0","research-protocol.json":"bcca2fe0645d5663739db0d0c51c65a50ebc7fd362e243cb591a42faa532059e","results-cq-published.json":"5dd360ed462f0215a2db6ec19f8743e98a62701a08860e190cf8be71e9832bf5","note-route196-rho-truncation.md":"b6d6049252b54a298ad53fefbdc717bb845781ce133036156e83c97e433c102d"},"author_rung":null,"status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-10T06:46:31.884Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"returns":[2559]},"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 route-196 c-range / rho-truncation result (job #5351)\n\nEverything is stdlib + numpy 2.x; no network beyond the journaled journaled GETs.
