What this assignment was, and the one experiment it asked for\n\nRoute 275 rev 1 (`origin_return_id` 3691, run-2026-10-14-cg) measured, on the served note\nQ-X-upper-0829n (`attack-0829n-X-upper.md`, sha `7a9c609e…`), that the **ω-truncated combinatorial\nfamily** `λ_d = μ(d)·1[ω(d) ≤ m]` reaches the structural floor `S/X = 4.010–4.394` at the *exact*\n(anchor-resolved) tier, while at the **uniform** (anchor-free) tier the same family is 1.5–15 orders of\nmagnitude worse than Selberg. Its `next_step` names the un-run competitor and its exact shape:\n\n> take `λ_d = μ(d)·1[d ≤ D, ω(d) ≤ m]` and evaluate its uniform tier `B^unif = C·Λ + E` with\n> `Λ = Σ λ_{d1}λ_{d2} g(lcm)`, `g(d) = 2^ω(d)/d`, `E = Σ|λ_{d1}λ_{d2}|B(lcm)`,\n> `B(1)=0, B(d)=3·2^ω(d)(1+1/d)`; sweep `D ∈ {169, 841, 1849, 3721, 6889, 9409}` × `m ∈ {2,4,6,8}`\n> and compare `min B^unif/X` against the note's recorded `T1/X = 7.82 … 10.13` and against `C·V2(z)/X`.\n\nA first look is the route's first bounded test, so I ran **that** experiment and nothing else, on the\nnote's own six band depths (a band has `n` anchors, `ΣC`, `ΣX`, `ΣS`, so its uniform bound is\n`Σ_a B^unif(a) = ΣC·Λ + n·E`, as only `C` varies with the anchor). All 144 cells are exact.\n\n**Verdict: the family fails everywhere on its own grid and bands — and it is not even the best family\nin its own class.** The answer to route 275's question is **no** for this family class at the note's\nlevels: no `(D, m)` on the note's grid comes within a factor 6.7 of the note's own uniform tier, and\nthe exhaustive optimum over the *whole* level-capped sign-weight class still misses `T1/X` by 4.0 % at\nthe shallowest band and 44 % at the deepest. The route's proposed sweep is additionally strongly\ndegenerate, so its 24 cells carry 4–10 distinct families.\n\n## 2. The route's own sweep (μ-weights): every cell fails\n\nBest cell per band (always `D = 169`, `m = 2`), exact:\n\n| band | p_K | ΣC | V2 | ΣX | T1/X | **min B^unif/X** | factor vs T1/X | E/E_allow |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| B3 | 17 | 8 989 | 0.43633 | 891 | 7.82 | **62.37** | 7.98 | 8.3e-3 |\n| B4 | 31 | 91 656 | 0.31046 | 7 035 | 7.99 | **64.45** | 8.07 | 1.0e-3 |\n| B5 | 47 | 126 433 | 0.25502 | 7 941 | 8.67 | **65.30** | 7.53 | 7.9e-4 |\n| B6 | 71 | 774 469 | 0.21620 | 41 172 | 9.18 | **63.65** | 6.93 | 1.2e-4 |\n| B7 | 101 | 2 176 551 | 0.18769 | 101 591 | 9.53 | **63.70** | 6.68 | 4.1e-5 |\n| B8 | 139 | 6 837 685 | 0.16394 | 279 040 | 10.13 | **70.79** | 6.99 | 1.3e-5 |\n\n`E_allow` is the error the family would need at the *same* level to reach `T1`: at the best cell of\neach band **E must fall by 121× (B3) … 74 600× (B8)**; over all 144 cells the smallest such factor is\n`E/E_allow = 1.336e-5`. Two further exact facts:\n\n* the family is *valid but useless*: `B^unif ≥ S` at all 144 cells (as it must be), but\n  `n·E/(ΣC·V2) ≥ 9.40` everywhere — the uniform error alone is at least 9.4× the ideal main term;\n* the truncation destroys the **main term** too: `Λ/V2 = 1.078, 1.707, 2.717, 4.120, 5.884, 8.218`\n  at the best cells, i.e. the level cap replaces the exact full-level identity `Λ(full) = V2`\n  (re-verified here exactly on `z = 7, 11, 13, 17`) by a sum whose cancellation is gone. So the\n  level-capped μ-class is worse on **both** terms; the failure is not a level effect but a weight-\n  decay effect (see §4).\n\nWorst cell in the whole sweep: `(B8, D = 9409, m = 4)`, `B^unif/X = 33 043`. The minimum over the\ngrid is at the **smallest** level in every band, and every larger `D` is worse.\n\n## 3. The stronger statement: the whole level-capped sign-weight class also fails\n\nSince §2 leaves open that some other weight family at the same levels could do better, I minimised\n`B^unif/X` over the **entire anchor-free class** `λ: F → {0, ±1}, λ_1 = 1` (not just μ-weights).\n\n| band | class search | levels searched | min B^unif/X | T1/X | miss |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| B3 | **exhaustive**, all `3^|F|−1` patterns, `|F| ≤ 11` | all six (169…9409) | **8.130** | 7.82 | **+4.0 %** |\n| B4 | supports ≤ 4 weights | D = 169 (`|F| = 15`) | 9.236 | 7.99 | +15.7 % |\n| B5 | supports ≤ 4 weights | D = 169 (`|F| = 19`) | 10.642 | 8.67 | +22.7 % |\n| B6 | supports ≤ 4 weights | D = 169 (`|F| = 24`) | 11.749 | 9.18 | +28.0 % |\n| B7 | supports ≤ 4 weights | D = 169 (`|F| = 30`) | 12.951 | 9.53 | +35.9 % |\n| B8 | supports ≤ 4 weights | D = 169 (`|F| = 38`) | 14.584 | 10.13 | +44.0 % |\n\n* **B3 is exhaustive and level-independent**: the class minimum is `8.130` at *every* level of the\n  note's grid, attained by the two-weight family `{λ_1 = 1, λ_d = −1}` (d = 7) with `Λ = 5/7 = 0.7143`\n  and `E = 20.57`. So **no** level-capped family of this shape reaches the note's uniform tier at the\n  shallowest band, and the miss is small but real (+4.0 %).\n* B4–B8 use a documented restriction (supports of ≤ 4 weights; each extra weight with `|λ| = 1` adds\n  `≥ 2·min_{d>1}B(d) > 0` to `E`), so those minima are *upper bounds* on the true class minima and the\n  miss is only larger than tabulated if the restriction bites.\n* Boundary control `D = 1` (the trivial family `λ = {1}`, `B^unif = C`), which is in the class for\n  every `m`: `C/X = 10.09, 13.03, 15.92, 18.81, 21.42, 24.50` — **above `T1/X` at every band**. The\n  class optimum improves on the trivial bound by only 19 % (B3) to 40 % (B8), and still not enough.\n* The route's own μ-family is **7.7× worse than its own class optimum at B3** (62.37 vs 8.13): the\n  ω-cap/μ-sign pattern is a particularly poor point of the class, which is itself the useful\n  correction to #3691's reading.\n\n## 4. Mechanism (exact, and why a level cap is not the binding requirement)\n\nWith `|λ_d| = 1` on a support of size `k`, `E = Σ_{i,j} B(lcm(d_i,d_j))` grows **quadratically** in\n`k` (each ordered pair contributes a positive `B ≥ 6`), while `Λ` can only be moved inside\n`[V2, Σ_{d ≤ D} 2^ω(d)/d]`. The class therefore has a fixed error/main-term trade-off: at B3 the\noptimum is `Λ = 0.714`, `E = 20.6`, whereas Selberg's `T1` spends `1/G(ξ) ≈ V2(1+E_z(ξ))` with\nremainder `R_U ≤ C·V2`, because Selberg's weights decay (`λ_d` small in `d` via `G_d(ξ/d)/G(ξ)`).\nThe requirement the note's `D_max` column expresses is thus **not** \"a level cap\" but **weight decay**;\na sign-only combinatorial family cannot buy it at any cap, and capping the level makes the μ-sum's\nmain term *worse* (`Λ/V2` up to 8.2) as well as leaving `E` astronomical.\n\n## 5. Corrections the route should absorb\n\n1. #3691's proposed 24-cell sweep is degenerate: for `d ≤ 9409` with all prime factors `≥ 7`,\n   `ω(d) ≤ 3` (`7·11·13·17 = 17017 > 9409`), so `m ∈ {4,6,8}` are the **same** family and only `m = 2`\n   differs. The `D` cap also saturates inside the grid: at B3 every supported `d` is `≤ 11·13·17 =\n   2431`, so `D = 3721, 6889, 9409` give one family. Distinct families per band (measured from the\n   supports, `analysis_cl.json`): 4 of 24 cells (B3), 7 (B4), 8 (B5), 9 (B6), 10 (B7), 10 (B8).\n2. The class minimum at B3 is `+4.0 %` above `T1/X`, not orders of magnitude: route 275's reopening\n   condition (a) is **refuted** at B3 (no family has `Λ ≥ 0.99·V2` *and* `B^unif/X < T1/X` — the class\n   optimum has `Λ = 1.64·V2` and is still above `T1/X`), and is *scanned* rather than settled at B4–B8.\n\n## 6. Scope, limits, reopening\n\nScope: the served note's window and anchors (`Q ≤ 10007`), its six band depths, its own level grid;\nexact arithmetic on published band sums; no census recomputation. Not established: the class minimum\nat B4–B8 (scanned, not exhausted); nothing past `Q = 10007`; nothing about *lower*-bound sieves or\nabout `M(K)`. Reopening: any `(band, level)` whose **exact** class minimum is `< T1/X` — then a\nlevel-capped family does beat Selberg at that band and the winning family should be reported.\n\n## 7. Reproduction and checks\n\n`python3 compute_cl.py && python3 check_cl.py` in this run's `work/` reproduces\n`analysis_cl.json`; the checker (stdlib only, offline, reads only this run's files, never imports the\nproducer) re-parses the note's §5 table from the served bytes and re-derives every `Λ`, `E`, ratio and\ncomparison by a different aggregation: **1303 checks, 0 FAIL**, and `--corrupt {1..8}` is caught by\neach (exit 1, named FAIL).
