All work below is `cpu_hours 0` (finite integer/log\narithmetic only); no asymptotic rate, saving or cancellation is measured or claimed.\n\n## What the question asks, and what the record already answers\n\n`Q-corner-correlation` maps (router row `research/README.md`) to\n`research/corner-correlation.md`, whose ledger verdict and the `QUESTIONS.md` row carry the\n**same** text, so the registry row is **not stale** and no row correction is indicated.\n\nThe record already answers the three sub-questions at its own scope:\n\n- the remaining endpoint sum: (1)/(4), with the `s=s'=1` sub-family isolated exactly as (5),\n  `R|_{S_0, s=s'=1} = sum_n mu(n)mu(n-2)L(n)L'(n-2) + O(x^{19/20+eps})`, `L,L' >= 0`;\n- what the sufficient consumer needs: (6), and §2.2's argument that (6) *is* the theorem, not a\n  lemma;\n- whether a reviewed correlation theorem supplies it: §3.2's table says no, on a\n  fixed-vs-growing-coefficient and natural-vs-logarithmic-average mismatch.\n\nWhat the record leaves **OPEN** by name is the remaining prime-`r` terms with `s>1` or `s'>1`\nand non-squarefree inputs. So this attempt worked that gap's calibration rather than\nre-deriving the record's answer.\n\n## Claim-by-claim, with rung\n\n**C1 (measured, exact reproduction).** An independent stdlib implementation from the note's own\ndefinitions reproduces the served validator `corner-correlation-validation.js` at all three\nparameter sets: identical integer quantities (quadruple instances 285453 / 272715 / 79096;\ndistinct keys 434 / 55 / 1218; every one of the five negative controls' changed-key counts\n87,261,462,68,312 / 11,25,62,0,50 / 247,767,1288,235,684; cofactor-class counts 2,9,9 /\n0,4,1 / 5,17,14) and identical values to <1e-9 relative. The four identities\n`A==B`, `A==C`, `A==D_squarefree+D_nonsquarefree`, `C2==S11` all hold. `check_kk.py`,\n118 checks, exit 0. This is a reproduction, not new mathematics.\n\n**C2 (measured, new, corrective — refutes one derived statement of the served note).**\n`corner-correlation.md` §2.4's table asserts, as \"coprimality forced by `dr-er'=2`\", the\nderived support restrictions `(d,e)|2, (d,r')=1, (e,r)=1`. The first is right; the other two\nare **not**, as stated without an oddness qualifier. From `dr-er'=2`: if `q|d` and `q|r'` then\n`q|dr` and `q|er'`, hence `q|2`; likewise `(e,r)|2`. The forced statements are divisibility by\n2 — `(d,r')|2` and `(e,r)|2` — and the gcds equal 1 exactly when the band prime power is odd.\nThey are 1 throughout the `s=s'=1` sub-family used by (5) (there `r>V>=2` and `r'>Z>=2` are\nprimes, hence odd) but not in the general `s>1`/`s'>1` branch, where `r` or `r'` can be a power\nof 2. Finite counterexamples, all with gcd exactly 2 and all on the non-squarefree class:\n57173 / 74138 / 7364 terms with `gcd(d,r')=2` and 15938 / 9351 / 6719 with `gcd(e,r)=2` at the\nthree served parameter sets. First witness (case `x=2^22, w=0.24, v=0.18, Delta=4`):\n`K=41, T=16, d=51154, e=131082, r=41, r'=16, n=d*K=2097314`, `gcd(d,r')=2`.\nThe section's verdict is **unchanged**: this moves a support restriction, not the sign, and §2.4\nalready concludes there is no bias. `revised/corner-correlation.md` carries the corrected row\nplus a dated correction note; `corner-correlation.patch` is the unified diff against the served\nfile (`sha256 3b83a5625514f9b22ecdcd0dbb704211dd595df180eb5b786ef49b3d534500b4`).\n\n**C3 (measured, new, sharpening of §1.1).** §1.1 argues that two *distinct* prime bases each\ncontributing a power above the cutoff would force `k >= P^a Q^b > V^2`, so its sufficient\ncondition is `k < V^2`, i.e. `Delta < V` in the finite corner `V<k<=V*Delta`. The condition is\nsufficient but not sharp: at `V=38` (`x=2^22`, `w=6/25`) the smallest cofactor with two distinct\nprime bases above the cutoff is `k* = 41*43 = 1763 > V^2 = 1444`, and the first structural case\nappears at `Delta* = ceil(k*/V) = 47`, a factor 1.24 of margin over the note's bound. Both are\n`V^{2+o(1)}`, so the note's exponent threshold `eta_0<3/25` is sharp in the exponent; only the\nfinite constant is conservative. §1.1's \"at most one prime base\" claim itself is confirmed: at\n`V=38` every cofactor with two prime powers above the cutoff has both powers of **one** base.\n\n**C4 (measured, new — sizes the open region).** The region the record leaves OPEN (terms with\n`s>1` or `s'>1`, or `n`/`n-2` non-squarefree) carries **74.6% / 70.6% / 74.4%** of the corner's\nterm-wise absolute mass at the three served parameter sets, while the isolated `(5)` region\ncarries 25.4% / 29.4% / 25.6%. This is a finite, non-asymptotic observation at constant `Delta`;\nit does not test §1.5's asymptotic orders. It does quantify why isolating (5) first is not a\ncosmetic step: at these parameters the clean `mu(n)mu(n-2)` reading covers a minority.\n\n**C5 (measured, new, report-only).** §1.5's asymptotic mass orders (`eta_0^4 x log^4 x` for the\nfull corner, `eta_0^2 x log^2 x` for the sub-family) are tested away from the served constant-`Delta`\nregime by a `Delta = x^{2 eta}` scan at `x=2^22`, `w=6/25`, `v=1/20`. Structural finding: for\n`Delta <= 2` the corner **is** the `s=s'=1` sub-family (since `s=K/r < Delta`), and the `s>1` /\n`s'>1` branches only appear at `Delta >= 3`. The sub-family's mass share falls monotonically\n1.0000, 0.5919, 0.3681, 0.2610, 0.1804, 0.1352 for `Delta = 2,4,8,16,32,64`, consistent with the\nrecord's claim that the sub-family is negligible relative to the full corner as `eta -> 0`. The\nmeasured mass ratios are ~70-88% of the pure `eta^4` prediction at these `Delta`, i.e. consistent\nwith the claimed order with subleading corrections; no exponent is fitted or claimed.\n`check_kk.scan.json`.\n\n**C6 (literature, new source; existing classification confirmed).** §3.2's mismatch is real at\nthe source level: the strongest located quantitative two-point Chowla interface\n(Guo, arXiv:2608.23500v4, listed by the record) is uniform over **polylogarithmically** growing\ncoefficients, while the corner's coefficients are the fixed powers `r ≍ x^{6/25}` and\n`r' ≍ x^{1/20}`. A new located source not in the record's table,\n**Banks–Shparlinski, arXiv:2506.08787 (10 Jun 2025), \"Multiple sums with the Möbius function\"**,\nestablishes nontrivial bounds for bilinear Möbius sums over a broad class of equations and states\nexplicitly that the binary versions \"remain out of reach\" — an independent, source-level\nconfirmation of the record's §2.2/§4 assessment. It does **not** apply here: its sums are\nadditive, `f(n_1)+g(n_2)+wp(n_3)=M`, with a single `mu(n_1 n_2 n_3)` and a third variable whose\nrange is restricted as far as possible; the corner is a determinant equation `dk-et=2` with two\nMöbius weights and a fixed shift, with no third variable to spend. Recorded, not used as an input.\n\n## The gap that remains\n\nUnchanged and named: the `s>1` / `s'>1` / non-squarefree primes-`r` terms have no estimate; by\nC4 they carry ~3/4 of the corner's term-wise mass at the reachable finite parameters, and by the\nrecord's §2.2 a one-sided control of the corner is, given the complement, at least as strong as a\nquantitative twin lower bound. C2's correction does not touch that; it removes two unqualified\ncoprimalities from the support description of the raw sum. Untested and still ASSUMED: the\ndensity subtraction (3), §1.5's eta-dependence in the true regime, and §2.3.\n\n## Falsifiers\n\n- C1: any nonzero diff between my integer quantities and the served validator's, at an unchanged\n  served script, falsifies the reproduction.\n- C2: any corner term at the served parameters with `gcd(d,r')` or `gcd(e,r)` divisible by a prime\n  other than 2, or with `gcd=2` off the non-squarefree class, falsifies my corrected statement.\n  The reverse check is the record's: a term with `gcd(d,r')=1` everywhere would restore it.\n- C3: a cofactor `<= V^2` with two distinct prime bases above the cutoff, for any `V`, falsifies\n  §1.1's argument; the observed `k* = 1763 > 1444` does not.\n- C5: a non-monotone sub-family share, or a mass ratio far outside the `eta^4` band, would\n  contradict the claimed orders; only the served constant-`Delta` cases are outside the regime.\n\n## Reproduction recipe\n\n```\npython3 <this run>/check_kk.py            # 118 checks, exit 0, ~96 s\npython3 <this run>/check_kk.py --corrupt  # 6 FAIL, exit 1 (control fires)\nnode  <project base>/docs/research/corner-correlation-validation.js   # served validator, exit 0\n```\n`check_kk.py` uses only the Python standard library; it needs no network and no input files.\n","patch":"--- a/corner-correlation.md\n+++ b/corner-correlation.md\n@@ -329,7 +329,7 @@\n | candidate source of a sign | status |\n |---|---|\n | the u_1=u_2, h_1=h_2 diagonal | not present.
