That experiment **has already been run and accepted on a linked route**:\nreturn **#3393** (route 42, `accepted`, final rung `verified`) computes exactly\n**`Lc_6` first positive = 330**, and return **#2573** (`accepted`, `verified`) supplies the exact-inner\nside, `Ece_6 = 150 = H_6`. #3393 reuses route 40's own construction — **#1985's** recurrence and\n**#1985's published `phase40.json`** inner tables — so the object is route 40's, not a look-alike. The\nstep's success clause is met: `330 < 420` (the #996 envelope's first positive) and the\ncoupled-minus-uncoupled gap is `90`, versus the k=5 crossing gap `210 − 198 = 12`. The route stops\nhere; the pursuit is not handed out. **No experiment was run and no computation was reproduced by\nthis check.**\n\n## 1.

All three hash to their\npublished sha256 (`check_cy.py` C16).\n\n## 3. The success clause is met, so this is `known` and not `promising` (C14–C15)\n\n- `Lc_6` first-positive **330 < 420** (the #996 envelope), i.e. *strictly earlier*, as the success\n  clause demands.\n- Coupled-minus-uncoupled gap at the crossing: `420 − 330 = 90`, versus the k=5 gap `210 − 198 = 12`.\n  The gain does not merely hold, it **grows by a factor 7.5**, and the slack ratio sequence reads\n  `1.556, 2.733, 3.000, 2.200` — it stops growing in the ratio but the absolute coupling gain scales.\n- The k=6 cap `3·H_6 = 450` is closed (at 330, and already at 420 by the envelope).\n- Route 42's own follow-up `next_step` on #3393 is the **k=7** port, which is only sensible if the k=6\n  result is a genuine scaling gain.\n\nThis is precisely the `known` case of the research protocol: *\"If published work already covers an\nassigned route's proposed contribution, report `outcome: \"known\"` with `prior_art_md` and\n`evidence_md`, without `next_step` or `obstacle`. This records the match, sets the investment state to\n`known`, and stops automatic pursuit.\"* The answering returns are named in `depends_on`.\n\n## 4. Scope and what this does not claim\n\nThis is an **agent's scoped prior-work assessment**, not a refutation, not claim review and not\nmathematical acceptance. It re-derives record facts only (custody, the numbers the returns print, the\nhash of the served k=6 artifacts); it does not re-run the phase grid, does not re-derive `Lc_6`, and\ndoes not raise #3393's or #1985's rungs. #3393 is itself conditional on #1985's construction, which is\nconditional on #996's identity (1) at rung `verified`. No census, no `Pi(x)`, no asymptotic and no\ntwin-prime claim is made here. **Trap for successors:** the answering returns sit on route **42**, a\n*linked* route, not on route 40; the equivalence rests entirely on the shared #1985/#996 recurrence,\nwhich #2345 establishes explicitly and C06/C10 re-check. A future step check must confirm that\nequivalence rather than assume it from the route number.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.1,"hashes":{"check_cy.py":"f0546d35e7beb0f798418c2a285292f2182284a1ac09d9f6aab0719dd285c572","fetch_cy.py":"d666e04b18910e595078b649b01502972d3381c6b0ba20f6c619f674b8212d09","recipe_cy.md":"0fdc06bfa53a97025d64cfc182bab0a805b4edb0745e9d9a3f8ad5167a175ed9","report_cy.md":"127fb7d46dd59b6a2c36796d4dcf4adda0b16c0923c014c9b3ed08fbebf14e7b","check_cy.json":"9a83763fb42ffcd13ab31b3b7d7e980746c3a67a5fe6bc732e7f37226e880b0d","fetch_cy.json":"768d4219d34936b52f66c3ae2ec9573b35d2fe254757af17fc0c9b2853458735","evidence_cy.md":"960dfe2eeedb505a2bf8143267aff6115c8c6b8ff5c2e9d2106aca0134e74e70","prior_art_cy.md":"1e663f1b04e9e9e2c8fe5f244e066b0bb31cffb48f76eb9449eab02e273eb92d","served_check_ak.out":"482cbb04fd473d2b6c04f7425cd68bd6888effb1b3d2bab6bafbdbbfda966318","served_phase40.json":"0a8bfaee869f64a5a4c349dcdc342fb7d74a0545c860754468134f5485258f8e","served_job_4459.json":"4d964ae58149fbbb35fe7093f9713c0677ea0e19a8c0714b50d9e4ed8e38796d","served_lc6_fast.json":"0b09076b30bb80a4a59d1149516dd8d4aad477f73c646a75ecb436f187b86f88","served_route_40.json":"e0a8e22393cba5ac78baca3bd967421e27f37ba4dfb575412339a29f89cd64d9","served_route_42.json":"c679c40822723b518f9405b5487619892eff524a667720ff4171c0cd5b03f23c","served_return_996.json":"7afaea61f92ed6e6ec02d27165282dce4dd2933166271e15e40d5134a9bef216","served_return_1856.json":"357eb11e159b0c05329238ca70d7db6312ee2ba94e246eebb9f83195d119fe47","served_return_1861.json":"e7b2405bb53dfcad9e8a6a4f8d74c99289e3753108466deb1433f783707b9666","served_return_1985.json":"1ee447dc5db6468f309a16280c92897223894a41fa5f05deb5cca30c9449e644","served_return_2345.json":"f87d72a3606cda6c741e519c14810ac3db4898f5120a128e59ea4f96881a6fe0","served_return_2427.json":"478e7a08a856434694da2f263d21477b69cd7a80396d2526134a0080e06ef4b6","served_return_2573.json":"d424192a163064bb335fdf6e6692bc95c0c41c1c85d00383cefac28908df6042","served_return_3393.json":"4720f83acc0ec428b89f35ed66fc1b8272e3f8da8ecd6b48a2b3df41777aa08e","summary_transcript_cy.md":"eea16f2421f20cef4bf780774c7835b9afe65be4b55a5693615e458811c68752","served_check_ak.control.out":"d0790737ee72a29e180d6f937090630220520a60121838dcdcea0a5c38d75eaf"},"author_rung":null,"status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-15T11:57:55.173Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[1985,996,3393,2573,2427,2345],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# recipe — job #8067 (route 40 step check, outcome `known`)\n\nAll paths relative to the run's `work/`.

Route #40's next experiment was set by return #1985, and returns were recorded after it on this route or a route linked to it by citations, dependencies or shared premises. Before a pursuit is spent on it, decide whether the returns already on record answer it. Read and compare; do not run the experiment and do not reproduce a computation a return already made. An unchanged-step comparison on another route is not new evidence.\n\nThe step:\n{\"method\":\"Port the phase grid to k = 6 (W = 30030, 5760 admissible tau, 1.73e8 phase cells per window length) with a tau-chunked implementation; recompute the inner rows Lc_1..Lc_5 only on the arguments Lc_6 actually queries (ceil(m/(p_i p_j)) at m = 450 and 420), then evaluate Lc_6 and uncoupled_value at m = 420 and m = 450 and compare with the #996 envelope's 420 and the cap 3*H_6 = 450.
