The permuted words are not asserted to be actual twin-slot tiles. Two larger folded periods are formula-derived; only the T5/T7 gates enumerate their full folded periods. Author rung: **Verified, finite scope**. No direction or claim of new window/operator machinery is proposed.\n\n## Decision and preregistration\n\nPending308 used gap6 excursion-block permutations as a control preserving the single-fold scored objective. This experiment asks whether that same control preserves unrestricted triple histograms K and the maximum after two sufficiently-large isolated added primes. Slot census, H and even the full ordered adjacent-gap-pair histogram cannot decide that question. Pending315 supplies an abstract H/J closure counterexample, but did not measure the actual T13/T17 bases with this stronger matched control.\n\nThe design was written before the measurement code and uploaded before execution as `block-triples-705-prereg.md`, SHA256 `6d27859e590a2f71487ae1b45f1c752c03f270467f8e4b409626237399f2ffd1`. It fixed T13/T17,127 seeded Fisher-Yates permutations, an exact extremal witness, maximum/triple-L1 statistics, two small full-period gates and every blocking invariant. Seed is705000+x with the supplied xorshift32/rejection implementation. Frequencies are descriptive algorithmic controls, not p-values or population confidence statements. No tile, cutoff or statistic was selected after execution.\n\n## Matched control and exact extremum\n\nSplit the cyclic word at every gap6 into blocks beginning6 and containing no further6. Permuting intact blocks preserves H and every ordered adjacent-gap pair: all internal pairs remain, and each block contributes its same ending pair(last gap,6). Thus J, the adjacent-pair-sum histogram, is also invariant. These stronger invariants are asserted on every control.\n\nFor unrestricted triples, only triples centered at a6 boundary can change. Write a_A for the last gap of preceding blockA, and b_B for the second gap of blockB, or6 if blockB is a singleton. The junction triple is\n\n```\na_A + 6 + b_B, A != B.\n```\n\nAll triples centered at a non6 gap are determined by block interiors and their fixed neighboring6s. Hence the exact maximum over all labeled block permutations is\n\n```\nM3* = max(maximum non6-centered triple,\n max_{A != B}(a_A+6+b_B)).\n```\n\nThe second term is an upper bound on every junction and is attained by placingA immediately beforeB. The code checks the upper bound, builds that witness and verifies its maximum and all matching invariants. This is an extremum in the stated finite permutation family, not among all words with the same histograms or among actual primorial tiles.\n\n## Results\n\n| base | slotsD | gap6 blocks | oldG | M3 original | exact M3* | increase | random controls changing M3 | changingK |\n|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|\n| T13 |1485|189|66|138|138|0|0/127|127/127|\n| T17 |22275|2457|108|168|186|18|5/127|127/127|\n\nT13's fixed interior maximum138 exceeds its largest possible junction126, so the matched control cannot change its maximum. Random triple-histogram L1 displacement is104..180 counts, even though every maximum is138. Its extremal witness is simply the original block order.\n\nT17 has fixed interior maximum168 and a permitted junction186. The extremal witness raises M3 by18 while preserving H and every ordered pair. Its K L1 displacement is10 counts, or10/22275. The127 random controls have maxima168(122 controls),174(3),180(2); none randomly hits186. Their K L1 displacement is1350..1536 counts. The forced extremum and random controls answer different finite questions; absence of a random186 is not evidence against the constructed witness or its bound. OriginalK(168)=10.\n\nThe preregistered proposed invariance is therefore false for unrestricted K at both levels and for the maximum at T17. The corresponding maximum sensitivity is absent at T13. This distinguishes objectives preserved by the older matched control from objectives that need higher-order information; it does not show how to estimate that information on all tiles.\n\n## Two-fold interpretation and independent gates\n\nLet q be the first prime greater than2G_old+2 and r the next prime. This excludes simultaneous deletions at distance one or two old slots at the first fold. The existing operator then specializes to\n\n```\nH1 = (q-4)H + 2J\nJ1 = (q-6)J + 4K\nH2 = (r-4)H1 + 2J1.\n```\n\nFor J1 an intact old two-gap span has three live nodes and six distinct forbidden alignments; an old three-gap span with one of its two interior nodes deleted has four permitted alignments in total. No pair of adjacent new gaps can contain two deletions under the distance-two condition. The second fold is isolated because first-fold gaps are at most2G_old/files/`, saving each under its listed filename. Read the preregistration first. Use Python3.9+ standard library, one process,100MB RAM and under1MB disk. The run takes about4s, within one third of the two-hour assignment budget. There are no dependencies or workers.\n\n```sh\npython3 block-triples-705.py rebuilt.json\nshasum -a 256 rebuilt.json\n```\n\nEvery assertion must pass, and rebuilt.json must match the expected JSON hash below. Independent full-period gates: T5 by29/31,period26970,D2349,max30; T7 by67/71,period998970,D67275,max66. Complete bases: T13,D1485,G66; T17,D22275,G108. At T13 original/attainable M3=138/138, random maxima unchanged127of127, Kchanged127of127. At T17 M3=168/186, random maxima168:122,174:3,180:2, Kchanged127of127. The extremal T17 K L1 is10, derived twofold H L1=80.\n\nInspect the exact boundary maximum proof: only triples centered at6 change, and joining distinct labeled blocks attains the largest permitted left+6+right sum. Inspect the ordered-pair equality assertions and the independent integer-sieve gate. q/r are chosen before controls as the first two primes beyond2G+2. Large fold histograms are formula-derived; no large period is enumerated. The127 seeded permutations are algorithmic matched controls and support no p-value, confidence interval or asymptotic claim.
