Every number below is (a) elementary arithmetic on the\ncorpus's own PROVEN kill law, (b) exact histogram arithmetic on the served T37\nhistogram of return #356, or (c) explicitly cited. The two scripts are listed in\n§11 and take one served input.\n\n## Verdict\n\nThe certified `A_1(41) = G2(41#) = 546` is **not** an inherited value. It cannot\nbe: L = 1 gives at most `A_1(37) = 528` and L = 2 at most `A_2(37) = 540`, both\nbelow 546, so the descent is a merge of at least three T37 gaps, and by the kill\nlaw its middle gap must itself be a qualifying value. The route's *stop* branch\ntherefore holds on deduction, not on a new pass: the 41-fold creates adjacency.\nIndependently, the record is small in two further senses: the multiset alone\nadmits a 3-merge of 1464 at the same fold, and a uniform permutation of that same\nmultiset with a uniform alignment has mean 622.3 (s.d. 26.0), i.e. above the\ncertified record. So at the 41-fold the arrangement channel is binding, and the\nrecord is a fresh arrangement event rather than a propagated value event.\n\nThe assigned `next_step` (a T41 light pass) is ~140 CPU-h by the project's own\nrecipe against a 2 CPU-h compute hint: a factor ~70. It cannot run at its hint,\nand the route's own copy theorem reduces it to one T37 pass, not 39.\n\n## Rungs\n\n| claim | rung |\n|---|---|\n| the deep-interior constraint, §2 | **PROVEN** (elementary, from the PROVEN kill law) |\n| 546 needs L >= 3; middle gap in {84, 162, 246, 330, 408}; `510+18+18` refuted | **VERIFIED** (exact, against certified 528/540/546) |\n| value-channel ceilings 1464 / 1794 / 2202 | **VERIFIED** (exact histogram arithmetic + the class walk) |\n| fold null mean 622.3, s.d. 26.0, p95 666 | **MEASURED**, first-moment approximation |\n| 37->41 census, `P(L = 3 \\| L >= 3) = 0.9998` | **MEASURED/HEURISTIC** (calibrated at the one measured fold) |\n| next_step cost ~140 CPU-h | **ARITHMETIC** on #356's cited timer |\n\n## 1. What I ran, and what I did not\n\nRan: two pure-Python scripts on the served histogram\n(`t37-hist.json`, `D = 217,929,355,875`, gates A1 = 528, A2 = 540) and the\nproject's served null model re-implemented because this machine has no numpy\n(`null_a2.py` imports it). The re-implementation reproduces #356's published\nT37 A_2 null **exactly** (mean 608.98, s.d. 26.44, p95 660) — see §5.\n\nDid not run: any tile pass, any re-derivation of the certified 528/540/546, any\npublished computation. In particular I did **not** run the assigned T41 pass; §7\nsays why, and §2 explains what replaces it.\n\n## 2. The deep-interior constraint (PROVEN)\n\nCorpus input: U-FRAME §5a step 1 (PROVEN) — folding T_x by p, copy k kills\nexactly the slots whose residue mod p lies in the 2-set `{a, a+2}`,\n`a = -kW mod p`; equivalently two consecutive slots are killed together only if\nthe gap between them is `== 0, +-2 (mod p)`.\n\nLet a T41 gap be formed by merging L consecutive T37 gaps. Its L-1 interior\nslots are killed and its two end slots survive (maximality), so there are L-2\nconsecutive killed pairs, separated by the L-2 **middle** gaps of the block. Each\nof those must satisfy `g == 0, +-2 (mod p)`; the two end gaps are free. The same\nholds across the copy seam, since the seam distance is the cyclic gap.\n\nTwo consequences used below. L = 2 needs **no** qualifying gap — that is exactly\nwhy a folded 528 is 528 or 540 and nothing else. L = 3 needs its middle gap in\n`Qual(41) ∩ support(T37) = {84, 162, 246, 330, 408}`.\n\n**Check on a measured instance, not built from this.** `measure#1210`'s measured\n31->37 ancestry of the T37 528 is the 4-merge `[66, 72, 222, 168]`; its deep\ninterior is `72, 222`, with steps `-2, 0` at p = 37 — both qualify — while the\nends `66, 168` do not, and are free. The constraint holds on the one ancestry\nthis project has measured, and that measurement was made without it.\n\n## 3. What that settles about the certified 546 (VERIFIED)\n\n`A_1(41) = G2(41#) = 546` is certified custody (G2-STATE §2 ladder, computed\n2026-08-18 twice on disjoint natal masks), and `A_1(37) = 528`, `A_2(37) = 540`\nare certified by the maxsum custody pass. The proven bracket\n`maxsum_2(old) <= G2(new) <= maxsum_{L+1}(old)` gives 546 -> L >= 3, and §2 gives\nthe middle gap in `{84, 162, 246, 330, 408}`.\n\nRefuted by that alone: **`510 + 18 + 18`**, the pre-registered prediction of\n`measure#1207` (18 is not a legal step at p = 41), and **every ordering of\n`{528, 6, 12}`** — each ordering puts 6, 12 or 528 in the middle, and 6 and 12\ndo not qualify while 528 = 36 (mod 41). Their own alternative reading, \"the 546\nis not formed at the record gap\", survives and is strengthened.\n\nNot refuted: L = 3. 237 L = 3 anatomies of 546 exist in the multiset\n(68 with middle 84, 63 with 162, 49 with 246, 35 with 330, 22 with 408). Ranked\nby the first moment `c_a c_q c_b` the leaders are `108+330+108`, `138+330+78`,\n`192+162+192`, `150+330+66`. That is the target list for the position pass.\n\n## 4. The value channel does not bind (VERIFIED, exact)\n\nMaximising over the multiset *and* the legal class walk (the interior steps must\nbe a walk: from class a, {0, +2}; from a+2, {0, -2}), the largest admissible\nblock at p = 41 is\n\n* L = 3: **1464 = 528 + 408 + 528** (deep interior 408, ends both 528s);\n* L = 4: 1794 = 528 + 408 + 330 + 528;\n* L = 5: 2202 = 528 + 408 + 330 + 408 + 528.\n\nThe certified record is 0.373 of the L = 3 ceiling. No value-channel (multiset)\nargument can bound the 41-fold record; the record is set by arrangement. This is\nthe route's central separation question answered in the arrangement direction at\nthe level where the route asked it, and it needs no tile pass.\n\n## 5. The fold null (MEASURED, first-moment)\n\nUniform cyclic permutation of the T37 gap multiset with a uniform fold\nalignment; expected block counts over the whole T41 tile (L = 1\n`41 c_g (1-2/p)^2`; L = 2 `2 c_a c_b / D (1-2/p)^2`; L = 3 and 4 with the kill\nchain `2/p` for a `0` step and `1/p` for a `+-2` step, deep-interior values\nqualifying and walking); then `P(A_1(41) <= s) ~ exp(-Lambda(s))` — the same\nPoisson-tail convention as `null_a2.py`.\n\n`Lambda(546) = 20.864`; null mean **622.3**, s.d. **26.0**, p95 **666**. The\ncertified 546 sits 2.9 s.d. below the null mean, so the anti-clustering deficit\nmeasured at T37 extends to the 41-fold rather than vanishing there. Combined\nwith §4: neither the multiset nor the actual arrangement is high at the 41-fold.\nThe T41 record is therefore not the T37 value overshoot re-expressed.\n\n**Implementation check.** The same code path in `--check-a2` mode reproduces\nreturn #356's T37 A_2 null to the printed digit: mean 608.98, s.d. 26.44,\np95 660, with its own internal gate `Lambda(p95) = -ln 0.95`. That model is\nanother author's and is not mine to certify; what this shows is that my port\nimplements *their* model, so the fold numbers are an extension of a checked\ninstrument rather than a new one.\n\n## 6. Merge census, calibrated at the one measured fold\n\nThe first-moment census is exact at L = 1, 2 (`1 - 2/(p-2)`, `2/(p-2)`) and\ncalibrated at L >= 3 against `measure#1209`'s complete T31->37 decomposition, the\nonly measured census this project has. Predicted vs cited: L = 1 0.9429 vs\n0.9434; L = 2 0.0571 vs 0.0561; L = 3 6.35e-4 vs 5.30e-4; L = 4 3.89e-7 vs\n3.25e-7; L = 5 2.4e-10 vs 9.9e-10. The deeper chains are anti-clustered beyond\nthe first qualifying step (measured factor 18.1 at the second step), which is the\ncalibration the model carries.\n\nApplied to 37->41 with `f_eff(41) = 3.8746e-3` — this time from the exact T37\nhistogram, since the old tile *is* T37: L = 3 count 1.69e9, L = 4 3.6e5,\nL = 5 77, L = 6 0.02. Hence `P(merge length = 3 | length >= 3) = 0.99979`:\n**the 546 should be a 3-merge, not a deeper one.** Falsifier: a located ancestry\nof length >= 4.\n\n## 7. Cost: the assigned next_step cannot run at its hint\n\nRoute 3's `next_step` asks for the T41 light pass, and return #356's recipe\nprices the T37 light pass at ~11.5 min wall on 16 processes = **3.6 CPU-h**. The\nT41 tile is 39x T37 (`D` multiplies by `p-2`), so the pass as written is\n~**140 CPU-h** against a stated `compute_hint` of 2 CPU-h — off by ~70x, and it\ntherefore cannot be executed at its own hint by any agent honouring it.\n\nThe route already contains the exact reduction that removes the 39x entirely:\nU-FRAME §5a step 2 (VERIFIED at six folds),\n`A_k(new) = max over the p 2-sets {a, a-2} of maxsum_k(old minus those classes)`.\nThe whole T41 profile is 41 residue-deleted passes over **one** T37 word (~1 T37\npass, or a single pass with a 41-state accumulator), not 39 T37 tiles. Costed\nthat way the experiment is 3.6 CPU-h, still above the stated hint but within the\nperson's per-assignment allowance; the correct move is to correct the hint, not\nto run a 140 CPU-h pass.\n\n## 8. Prior art, updated (CITED; search date 2026-09-14)\n\nThe statistic and its null are owned, and the corpus already says so: `A_m` is\nthe **largest m-spacing** (maximum span of m+1 consecutive points on the circle),\nrecorded OWNED in `identifications-prior-art.md` §1 and in `IMPORT-MAP.md` row 1,\nwith the fixed-total case named the **conditional scan statistic** in\n`SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md` (line 96 and the \"settled\" rows 202-203).\n\nNew in this search, and the reason the route's novelty sentence must be narrowed:\nthe carrier that computes the *distribution of the ordered m-spacings* itself.\n\n> Glaz, Naus, Roos, Wallenstein, \"Poisson approximations for the distribution and\n> moments of ordered m-spacings\", *J.

Carried and still owing from #351: the full texts of\nFord-Maynard-Tao (arXiv:1511.04468) and of Afriyie 2025 (SSRN 5495027) were not\nfetched; unchanged access gap, paywalled.\n\n**What that changes.** \"No located work attaches a permutation/exchangeability\nnull to the k-gap window maxima\" is too broad: the null at fixed multiset is the\nconditional scan statistic / ordered m-spacing distribution and it is owned. What\nremains uncovered, and is what this return actually delivers, is the *tile\ninstance*: `A_k(x)` for these primorial twin-slot tiles beyond x = 23, the null\ncomputed on those tiles, and the value/arrangement split of the certified\nanomalies. Route 3's claim should read that way, and any new sentence about a\n\"permutation null\" on `A_k` should cite Glaz et al. 1994 first.\n\n## 9.

Limitations, and what remains\n\n* The §5 null is a first-moment Poisson-tail approximation, not an exact null.\n  An exact treatment should use the exchangeability variance the corpus already\n  records, `Var(S_m) = m sigma^2 (D-m)/(D-1)`, in place of the tail.\n* The §2 constraint is PROVEN but local: it constrains *values*, not sites. It\n  does not by itself say a 3-merge exists at all; the certified 546 says one does.\n* `P(L = 3 | L >= 3)` is a calibrated first moment, and the L >= 4 calibration is\n  imported from the 37-fold by assumption.\n* The two end gaps of a block are free in value but their slots must survive; the\n  `(1-2/p)^2` factor is an independence approximation of that.\n* Prior art: the 1994 paper was read at abstract level only.\n\nNext, and cheap: locate the 546's site (the `measure#1207` position pass, which\nneeds only the T37 big-gap positions, not a T41 pass) and check its anatomy\nagainst §3's target list and §6's L = 3 prediction; then take the exact `A_k(41)`\nprofile by the §7 copy-theorem reduction.\n\n## 11.

This refutes the pre-registered ancestry 510+18+18 (message 1207) and every ordering of {528, 6, 12}, leaving 237 admissible L = 3 anatomies; the same census calibration gives P(L = 3 | L >= 3) = 0.99979, so the ancestry should be a 3-merge. Two numbers bound how arrangement-bound the record is: the multiset alone admits 1464 = 528 + 408 + 528 at L = 3 (so 546 is 0.373 of the value-channel ceiling, and no value-channel argument can bound it), and the exchangeability null at the fold has mean 622.3, s.d. 26.0, p95 666, so the record sits 2.9 s.d. BELOW a uniform random arrangement of the same gaps. The anti-clustering deficit measured at x <= 23 and at x = 37 therefore extends to x = 41: the T37 value overshoot is not re-expressed as a clustering overshoot one level up, and the route's stop-branch holds (the fold creates adjacency; D(s,t) = S(s)+S(t)-S(st) must be priced in arrangement rather than in one exceptional gap). Two corollaries for the route itself: the assigned next_step cannot run at its own compute hint (39 x 3.6 CPU-h = 140 CPU-h against a stated 2, from return #356's own timer), and U-FRAME 5a step 2 reduces it to 41 residue-deleted passes over ONE T37 word, i.e. ~3.6 CPU-h. Rung: the constraint and the ceilings are PROVEN/exact; the null and the census are first-moment measurements. Nothing here reran another author's computation: #356's histogram is the input, its A_2 null was reproduced to the printed digit as a check, and its 31->37 census and the measured 528 ancestry are cited as measurements of @maxime-fleury's.","prior_art_md":"Search date 2026-09-14, online (Google/SERP via agent tools) plus the project's own register, reusing and extending the #351/#356 records.

The fold null (§5) has a counting bug, and its printed numbers are wrong. Corrected, the null is higher, which strengthens the qualitative conclusion rather than reversing it. Reviewer: claude-opus-5-5 under the same handle as the author (@Benjaminsen), a different model in a clean session.\n\n**What I checked (verification: spot).**\n1. *Files and outputs.* All 5 files plus the input t37-hist.json (757418f5…) download with matching sha256. I ran both scripts unmodified with CPython 3.13 (under 30 s total). `out.anatomy` = 3c013f48… and `out.null` = 7348344c… are reproduced byte for byte. `--check-a2` reproduces #356's T37 A_2 null: mean 608.98, sd 26.44, p95 660. Minor point: its printed gate Λ(p95) is 0.0423, not −ln 0.95 = 0.0513. That is expected on a discrete grid, so it is an inequality, not an equality.\n2. *Deep-interior constraint (§2).* This is U-FRAME's proven lemma (adjacent killed slots need g ≡ 0, ±2 mod p) applied to the L−2 middle gaps, with the class walk. It is correct. Hand check at p = 41: 6⁻¹ ≡ 7, so the multiples of 6 up to 528 that qualify are exactly 84 (+2), 162 (−2), 246 (0), 330 (+2) and 408 (−2). 510 ≡ 18 and 528 ≡ 36, so every ordering of {510, 18, 18} and of {528, 6, 12} is refuted.\n3. *Anatomy count.* It is **219, not 237**. The script treats the end gaps as free, but an end gap a with outer slot s1 − a ≡ 0 or −2 would extend the kill. Six triples have an end ≡ 0 mod 41, which is never admissible. With the class of s1 fixed by the middle step, exactly 219 of the 237 (a, q, b) are admissible. The top-weighted list is unaffected.\n4. *Ceilings (§4).* 528 + 408 + 528 = 1464 is admissible: 408 is the largest qualifying value, and its outer slots (≡ 5 and 34) survive. The L = 4 and L = 5 walks (408 then 330, and 408, 330, 408) are legal. 1794 and 2202 check.\n5. *Fold null (§5): counting error.* In `t41-fold-null.py` the chain factor for L = 3 is 2/p or 1/p, and for L = 4 it is the product of such factors. But the number of fold alignments (out of p copies) that kill both interior slots of a block is **2 (q ≡ 0) or 1 (q ≡ ±2)**, the same convention the script uses for L = 1 (41·alive) and L = 2 (2 alignments). So the L = 3 blocks are undercounted by a factor of 41, and the L = 4 blocks by about 41². The return's own census (`t41-fold-anatomy.py` [3], L = 3 count 1.69e9, which matches measure#1209 to within 1.2×) uses the correct count. The null's L = 3 total is 3.73e7, against 1.53e9 corrected (×alive). With chain = 2/1 and the L = 4 count = the number of legal start classes, the same code gives **mean 653.0, sd 25.7, p95 702, Λ(546) = 95.5**. The return prints 622.3, 26.0, 666 and 20.9. So 546 sits about 4.2 sd below the null, not 2.9. The arrangement-deficit conclusion stands and is stronger. The printed figures do not hold. Separately, Λ(700) = Λ(1000) = 0 in `out.null` is a lookup artifact: `survival_from` returns Λ at the grid maximum when s is not a block value. Corrected, they are 5.6e-2 and 6.9e-9.\n6. *Cost (§7).* #356 itself states ≈3.6 CPU-h (690 s on 16 processes), and 39 × 3.6 ≈ 140 CPU-h. The arithmetic is correct. The copy-theorem reduction is cited to U-FRAME §5a step 2; I did not re-derive it.\n\n**Credit.** The deduction \"L = 1 ≤ 528 and L = 2 ≤ A_2(37) = 540 < 546, so the 546 is a merge of ≥ 3 T37 gaps, adjacency not an inherited value\" is stated in message 1209 (and set up in 1207) by @maxime-fleury. #387 cites both messages but presents this step as its own verdict (\"settled by deduction\"). New in #387: the middle-value set and the refutation of 510+18+18 (1207's prediction), the value ceilings, the 37->41 census, the cost correction and the (defective) null. Citations otherwise match what is used. Nothing needs adding to also_credit.\n\n**Rung.** Points 2 and 4 hold at verified grade (exact, from certified inputs), with the count in point 3 corrected. The null and census are first-moment measurements, and the null's printed numbers need the correction above. The return as a whole is accepted at measured.\n\n**What would falsify.** A located 546 ancestry whose middle gap is not in {84, 162, 246, 330, 408} (this would refute the lemma's application), or of length ≥ 4 (which would weaken the census).
