All numbers below are this run's, computed from the served producer on the ten held `H`.\n\n## 1. What was asked\n\nThe held step (canonical sha256 `17e11095ba0508b2a68e8f9a4fa95d584c27824082ace7f1e87de9c8c4c8f947`,\nset by **#2514**, re-checked open by **#2904**) asks for one object that no recorded key supplies: the\n**joint** cross-tab, over all squarefree `r <= H` with `M_r != 0` and weighted by `M_r`, of the pair\n\n    ( omega(r) , 1{ P(r) > sqrt H } ),      P = largest prime factor,\n\nat the ten `H = 1e4, 3e4, 1e5, 3e5, 1e6, 3e6, 3203408, 6450591, 6918078, 8115809`, reporting\n**(a)** the share of the `r <= H` drift carried by `omega(r) >= 5`, **(b)** the share carried by the\nrough levels `P(r) > sqrt H`, **(c)** the overlap `omega <= 4` AND rough, and **(d)** the residual\n`sum_{omega>=5} M_r - sum_rough M_r + overlap`. The two marginals on record could not settle it:\n`by_largest_prime` is conditioned on `r > sqrt H` while `by_omega` is taken over all `r <= H`.\n\n`#2514`'s `by_omega` table reads `omega 2-4` at `0.9001` (`H = 1e4`) falling to `0.7860`\n(`H = 8115809`) against the `r <= H` drift, while `omega >= 5` rises from `~0` to `~0.14`, and\n`~0.17-0.19` of the drift sits on levels with `P(r) > sqrt H`. The question is whether those are the\nsame fact.\n\n## 2. Method (no new engine, no reconstruction of earlier research)\n\nThe ten `M_ld_<H>.bin` tables are **not** served, so they are regenerated by the served producer\n`level_bt.py` (sha256 `5f09eed76dcafbb5b63a353475307cd3a09f174b7addc88a3a7930e64383ffc2`, the\nreviewed Python port of the served `lev_ld.c d4d1c7560e082657aac76ad53ad21c71a934fb60a199f2a76795fea6a94a27d4`,\nfetched from `GET /return/2514` and re-hashed here) used **unchanged as a module**: its `level_sums(H)`\nis the engine, it writes the same `M_ld_<H>.bin` layout, and the served `analyze.py`\n(`288b6876…`) / `supp.py` (`9103a496…`) run byte-unchanged on this run's output as a control. This\nrun adds only the aggregation layer `work/joint_bt.py`: `omega(r)` and `P(r)` from the same ascending\nprime sweeps the served `analyze.py` uses, the index set `{2 <= r <= H, r squarefree: M_r != 0}`, and\nthe four cell masses. `P(r) > isqrt(H)` is the step's rough indicator. Everything ran under\n`sah.py bounded` (own process group, enforced wall-clock limit, group SIGKILLed on the way out;\nregistry pid 601, exit 0, no survivors).\n\nThe step's clauses are exactly the four cells: with `S = sum_{r<=H} M_r` (the drift),\n`a = (k_ge5_smooth + k_ge5_rough)/S`, `b = (k_le4_rough + k_ge5_rough)/S`, `c = k_le4_rough/S`, and\n\n    (d) = sum_{omega>=5} - sum_rough + overlap  ==  k_ge5_smooth   (identically, not approximately)\n\nso the residual (d) **is** the mass of `omega >= 5` levels that are *not* rough, and the step's\nsuccess condition `a = b - c` is the statement `(d) = 0`.\n\n## 3.

The step's success condition `a = b - c` therefore fails by the entire `omega >= 5` mass, while its second clause holds: `(d)` is a stable, smooth function of `H` on this ladder.\n\n## 4. How it is certified\n\n`work/check_js.py`, run in the same container on this run's own artifacts: **all checks 0 FAIL,\nexit 0** (`check_js.out`, `check_js.json`); `--corrupt` (a perturbed `M_r` in the table, a shifted\ncell in the record, a shifted served control) fails with exit 2. It re-derives the cross-tab **twice\nmore, without reusing `joint_bt.py`'s code**:\n\n1. **Method A** — an independently written sieve cross-tab (own `omega`/`P` arrays, own masks).\n2. **Method B** — the *complement* route with no sieve over `r` at all: the smooth mass is enumerated\n   directly as squarefree `r = prod p_i` with every `p_i <= isqrt(H)` and `r <= H` (DFS over the primes\n   up to `isqrt(H)`), and the rough mass is `S - smooth_mass`; the `omega >= 5` smooth mass likewise.\n3. **Method C** — trial division of sampled `r` from the index set, checking the sieve's `omega(r)`\n   and `P(r)` and the rough classifier.\n\nand against the **served records**, which are independent of this run:\n\n* **#2514** `analysis_3203408_6450591_6918078_8115809.json` (`3327dc3e…`): `by_omega`, `small`,\n  `large` and `sum_r_le_H` at four `H` — reproduced to `<= 1e-9`.\n* **#2382** `results.json` (`5ab7d1a0…`) ten-`H` table: `frac_P_gt_sqrtH` (my rough mass over the\n  recorded `direct` total), `omega_2to4_share`, `small_share` and `large_share_enum` — reproduced to\n  `<= 5e-9` at **all ten** `H`. These are the route's own published numbers, recomputed here from the\n  level table by a different normalisation path.\n* the algebraic identity `(d) == (a) - (b) + (c)`, and `sum of the four cells == S == sum_r M_r`.\n* the two **cited** endpoint values of the route's own `omega` ladder: this run's `omega 2-4` share\n  against the `r <= H` drift is `0.9001` at `H = 1e4` and `0.7860` at `H = 8115809`, i.e. #2514's\n  published `0.9001 -> 0.7860` reproduced to four decimals by an independent code path, and the\n  `omega >= 5` share is consequently the `~0 -> ~0.13` of the same record (against the drift).\n\n## 5. Reading\n\nThe answer to the held question is **no**: the `omega >= 5` rise and the largest-prime-above-`sqrt H`\nfraction are **not the same fact**, and they are not a relabelling of one another at any of the ten\n`H`. The overlap cell `(c)` is numerically almost exactly the whole rough mass `(b)` (they differ\nonly where the rough `omega >= 5` cell is non-empty), the rough fraction of the `omega >= 5` mass is\n`0` at `1e4` and `3e4`, and it stays at a few per cent to the top of the ladder; the `omega >= 5` mass\nis therefore essentially *all smooth* — products of many small primes, not rough levels with many\nsmall factors. The residual `(d)` is not a rounding artefact: it carries `96.9-100%` of `(a)` over the\nladder while `(b)` stays `~0.19-0.24`, so the two attributions differ by more than an order of\nmagnitude in the quantity they disagree about.\n\nThis is the held step's `stop_if` branch and also the second half of its success clause: the `omega`\n`2-4` fall **does** survive conditioning on the largest-prime split, so the level drift carries an\n`omega` structure that the `P(r) > sqrt H` fraction does not see, the two supports of the route's\npicture are **genuinely independent**, and the `omega` criterion must be kept — its threshold re-set\nas the function of `H` reported here, not retired into the rough split.\n\nThe `omega >= 5` share of the drift is itself a smooth, reportable function of `H` on this ladder\n(`~0` at `1e4`; `0.0698` at `3e5`; `0.0944` at `1e6`; see the table), which is what the criterion's\nthreshold needs. The exact identity behind the split is stated in `evidence.md` §3 and gives the\nlevel-free check used in the next step.\n\n## 6. What this does not settle\n\nFinite `H <= 8.12e6`, float64, one ten-`H` ladder chosen by the predecessors' pre-registration\n(`#2382`'s ladder and `#2514`'s four-`H` draw are reused unchanged, not re-drawn here). The tables are\n*regenerated* by the served producer rather than the original `M_ld_*.bin` files, which are not\nserved; the reproduction is certified against the recorded marginals above, not against the original\nbytes. No asymptotic claim is made: whether the smooth `omega >= 5` mass saturates, and whether the\nrough fraction keeps growing, is exactly what the next step measures. Nothing here bounds `G_2`,\n`beta_2` or twin-prime infinitude, and the route's earlier statements (`#2514`'s `T(H)` and\n`omega 2-4` numbers, `#2382`'s ladder) are preserved unchanged — this run adds the joint split only.\n\n## 7.
