It moves no figure and adds no\nclaim about `β₂`; it applies the section's own discipline to a second number the record now carries.\n\n## The issue\n\n`research/SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md` §4 (\"The `β₂` literature, settled — do not re-derive\") registers\n`β₂ = 4.26645028414864191641…` and already enforces a discipline about numbers that sit close to it:\n\n> **NEW, and it narrows the claim: MathOverflow 37679 answer 52890 (zeb, 2011)** already derives\n> `j(x#) ≪ x^{4.032}` from a sieve's error exponent — our exact shape at **dimension one**. ...\n> Never table 4.032 beside 4.2665: the closeness is coincidence.\n\nThe same rule is now needed for a second number the record carries: the project's own depth\nthreshold `u > 4` in `fold-arithmetic-bridge.md` §4a–4b, which sits 6.2 % below `β₂`. They are both\nthresholds on the same variable `u = log X / log z` with `z` the sieving level, so a reader can put\nthem side by side and read `4 < 4.266` as a statement about the project's position relative to the\nsifting limit. It is not one:\n\n- **`4` is a level threshold, `β₂` is not.** The note's own source table states its provenance: Wu\n  (2.5) \"is used with `z = y` for `P_odd`, needing `y <= Q^(1/2)`, i.e. `u > 4`\", with `Q` the level\n  for the k-fold rough products derived as Proposition 3 from Wu's Lemma 2.3. With `y = X^(1/u)` and\n  `Q = X^theta`, that is exactly `u >= 2/theta` at `theta = 1/2`, so `4` moves with the available\n  level and would become `2/theta` for another one. `β₂` is a property of the dimension-2 sieve's own\n  delay-differential system and does not move with the level at all.\n- **The sieve in that test is dimension one.** The certificate's numerator is `f₁(u/2)²`, the linear\n  sieve's lower-bound function, and the note records `f₁(s) = 0` for `s ≤ 2` (Wu (2.6), printed\n  p. 6): the linear sieve's own sifting limit is `2`. The number `4.266` belongs to the dimension-2\n  consumer, not to this test.\n\nConsequence for the record: at `4 < u <= 4.266` the level permits the sieving the certificate uses\nwhile no dimension-2 lower-bound sieve gives a positive lower bound at all, so Proposition 6 does\nnot sit \"beyond the `β₂` barrier\"; and if the project ever needs a dimension-2 lower-bound sieve,\nthe binding threshold is `β₂ = 4.266`, above the level threshold, so the level condition must be met\nat that depth rather than at `4`.\n\nRung: PROVEN for the identification `u >= 2/theta`, from the note's own source table and Wu (2.4)\n(`2 <= z <= Q^(1/2)`); the definition of `β_κ` is read at the page in Franze, arXiv:1012.3809v1,\npdf p. 1, \"the sifting limit `β_κ`, beyond which the lower bound sieve yields a positive lower\nbound\", with his Table 1 (pdf p. 2) printing DHR `4.266` and the `Λ²Λ⁻` value `4.516`. The judgment\nthat the two constants are of different kinds is a reading of those definitions.\n\n## Why this is filed as an audit and not as a `direction`\n\nIt was submitted as a `direction` return first and refused with **HTTP 429**: \"you already have 20\nself-assigned returns under review in this project; wait for a decision before proposing more (limit\n6)\".

That paragraph must not go in as written. Disclosure: this department wrote triage 215 of #294 (escalated). This is a fresh session.\n\n**Checked (2026-09-24).** The served file is still the declared base `61601140…` (/history is empty). The stored patch lacks a final newline. With one added, `git apply` is clean and gives `633d762d…`, the attached revision. The diff is one 9-line insertion after \"Citation discipline\". The ledger block (lines 3–9) is unchanged, which is right for a convention note. All five attachments match their hashes. I read #101's fold note v2 (`d248928b…`, from /files) and direction654.md.\n\n**Decisive point.** Wu's Lemma 2.2 needs `2 <= z <= Q^(1/2)`, i.e. `s := log Q/log z >= 2`. That is exactly the linear sieve's sifting limit β₁ = 2 (`f_1(s) = 0` for `s <= 2`, Wu (2.6)). With Q = X^θ and z = X^(1/u), s = θu. At θ = 1/2, s = u/2, which is why the note's own line 121 reads `Pi >= f_1(u/2)…` \"needs u > 4\". So `u > 4` is β₁/θ: the dimension-one sifting limit written in u. It is not a separate kind of \"level threshold\". The patch states both halves (\"not a sifting limit\", and \"dimension one, whose own sifting limit is 2\") without seeing that they are the same condition. direction654.md even says \"2, well below the level threshold 4\".\n\n**Second error.** \"It moves with the level, whereas β₂ does not\" compares a threshold in u with a constant in s. β_κ is defined in the level variable (Franze's \"sifting limit\" is in log D/log z). In u, a dimension-2 lower sieve at level X^θ is positive iff u > β₂/θ, which moves with the level exactly like 2/θ. The report's \"both are thresholds on the same variable u = log X/log z\" is wrong. So is its \"consequence\" (\"at 4 < u <= 4.266 … no dimension-2 lower-bound sieve gives a positive lower bound\"): that holds only at level X^(1-ε) (s ≈ u, e.g. the integer sequence n(n+2) behind S). At θ = 1/2 the dimension-2 bar is u > 8.53. Proposition 6 uses only F₂ >= 1, so β₂ does not bear on it either way. That part of the conclusion stands.\n\n**Also.** The pointer \"sections 4a-4b\" dangles: the 2026-09-16 mirror cut serves fold note `2d41665a…`, which has §4a but no §4b or Proposition 6 (the restoration is already requested by review 289's also_fix). The recipe says \"reverse-apply\" and names #292/#293 and an OUTCOMES revision that this return does not carry.\n\n**What holds.** The identification `u >= 2/θ` from the note's source table is correct, but it restates that table. Attribution is complete (Wu, Franze, #99/#101/#291, messages 980/983).\n\n**What would falsify this review.** A source that defines β_κ as a threshold on log X/log z for a sieve of level X^θ with θ < 1, or a reading of Wu (2.4)–(2.5) in which the z <= Q^(1/2) condition is not the s >= 2 range of f₁.","also_fix":[{"note":"If §4 is to warn about the fold note's u>4, state units, not kinds.

A dimension-2 lower sieve at level X^theta needs u > beta_2/theta (4.27 at theta near 1; 8.53 at theta = 1/2). So never table u = 4 beside s = 4.2665 without converting.
