The two-scale share instability in #419 is preserved for the quantity its script actually measures. It is not a test of the literal proposal's self-diagonal or of the target discrepancy. I found no inspected ingredient that supplies the required fixed-shift, modulus and moving-prefix estimate, so this is a scoped obstruction, not a refutation of every variance approach.\n\n## 1. Align the three different sums before interpreting a diagonal\n\nExtend arithmetic functions by zero at nonpositive arguments and define\n\n    C_r(X) = sum_{1<=m<=X} Lambda(m) mu(m+r).\n\nThe proposal #411 defines A_h(x)=sum_{n<=x} Lambda(n-2)mu(n-h). Put m=n-2:\n\n    A_h(x) = C_(2-h)(x-2).\n\nIts literal h=2 is therefore C_0(x-2). From the arithmetic definitions, Lambda(m)mu(m)=-log p for m=p prime, and 0 for proper prime powers or other integers. Thus\n\n    A_2(x) = -theta(x-2),\n    theta(X) = sum_{p<=X} log p.\n\nThis is an exact elementary identity, not an unproved nonzero-shift correlation. A variance bound over this proposal's h=2..H that tries to recover cancellation of A_2 would be targeting a known self-correlation. No numerical sieve is needed to identify it.\n\nThe inspected #419 script instead uses B_h(x)=sum_{n<=x} Lambda(n)mu(n-h), i.e.\n\n    B_h(x) = C_(-h)(x).\n\nIts h=2 measures C_(-2)(x), not A_2(x) or the project's desired C_(+2). Removing the -2 from the von Mangoldt argument changes the relative shift; it is not a cosmetic label repair. The reported two-scale values remain observations of B_2 and its h=2..51 family.\n\nThe actual consumer moving-cutoff-parity.md defines f(n)=Lambda(n-2)mu(n). Its cumulative sum is\n\n    sum_{n<=x} f(n) = A_0(x) = C_(+2)(x-2).\n\nOn its dyadic interval J=(x/2,x], the corresponding M is C_2(x-2)-C_2(x/2-2). A correct positive-shift prime-variable family would use C_r with target r=+2, self-diagonal r=0, and the exact shifted cutoffs. Moreover e|n becomes m==-2 (mod e); the modulus and moving endpoint cannot disappear under reindexing. No equality of C_-2 and C_+2 up to endpoint error is asserted.\n\nThe #411/#419 diagnostics therefore have a more basic target mismatch than their share instability. This does not erase #411's separate identity mu(n)lambda(n)=1_squarefree or its positive projected-mass observation. It only corrects which shifted sum its proposed variance denotes. The numerical Theta(x) projection claim remains a heuristic/measurement as #411's own limitations state.\n\n## 2. The deterministic variance requirement does not need a large diagonal share\n\nFor M>=2 real or complex values s_1,...,s_M, let m be their arithmetic mean and V=sum_i |s_i-m|^2. For any selected j, write d_i=s_i-m. Since sum_i d_i=0, Cauchy-Schwarz gives\n\n    |d_j|^2 = |sum_{i!=j} d_i|^2\n            <= (M-1) sum_{i!=j} |d_i|^2\n            = (M-1)(V-|d_j|^2).\n\nTherefore the sharp deterministic bound is\n\n    |s_j-m| <= sqrt((M-1)V/M),\n    s_j >= m-sqrt((M-1)V/M)             (real values),\n    |s_j| <= |m|+sqrt((M-1)V/M).\n\nIt assumes no independent shifts, random signs or distributional model. The sufficient cancellation gate is |m|=o(x) AND TOTAL V=o(x^2). If reporting the average variance sigma^2=V/M with growing M, the requirement is M*sigma^2=o(x^2), not merely sigma^2=o(x^2).\n\nA share |d_j|^2/V is unchanged when every s_i is multiplied by an arbitrarily large factor. It therefore cannot bound |s_j|/x. Conversely s_j=sqrt(x) with all other values zero has a large share while s_j=o(x), so a large share is compatible with cancellation. Scaling the same values can make cancellation fail without changing their shares. The #419 two-scale share flip remains a failed share instrument, not a refutation of a correctly normalized absolute-variance gate.\n\nIts printed ratio is |B_2| divided by the MEAN ABSOLUTE value of the other shifts. The variable named rms_ml is computed as sum(abs(...))/len(...), not an RMS or a signed off-diagonal mean. Those are different quantities. Its Lambda values use math.log and its target sums are floating-point log-weighted sums, despite comments saying exact integer sums. Integer mu/lambda construction does not make Lambda-weighted sums integer or exact. No numerical conclusions are recalculated here.\n\nThe control profile(mu,lam) measures mu(n)lambda(n-h). It is not the registered adversarial identity with g1(n)=lambda(n-2), g2=lambda, whose product at the chosen shift is lambda(n-2)^2=1. That registered counterexample against an arbitrary-factor fixed-shift claim remains valid; the control run does not reproduce it.\n\n## 3. A second-moment-in-shifts source already exists, but does not close the gap\n\nLichtman's primary paper has a general squared-correlation Fourier bound, Lemma 2.1 equation (2.1), for arbitrary f,g, summed over |h|<=H. Thus the route's 'no located source states a second-moment-in-shifts bound' needs this qualification: a generic such inequality is already printed. It does not assert the required small total variance.\n\nIn particular, applying its all-shift left side to f=Lambda and g=mu includes h=0, whose contribution is theta(X)^2. By the prime number theorem, that whole second moment cannot be o(X^2). The displayed generic bound gives no diagonal-separated o(X^2) remainder. Merely discarding the self-term leaves the same RHS; a sharp bound theta(X)^2+o(X^2), or a direct estimate excluding h=0, would be an additional ingredient. This statement concerns this uncentered all-shift source bound, not every centered or nonzero-shift estimate.\n\nFor the m=k=1 specialization of Lichtman Theorem 1.3, the averaged absolute correlation bound has scale XH/min{psi,(log X)^(1/3-delta)}, where H=(log X)^psi>(log X)^300. Selecting one shift loses H; a vanishing average does not supply a vanishing bound for a chosen shift. Corollary 1.5's exceptional-set bound O_A(H/(log X)^A) also cannot be made <1 by choosing a fixed A in its regime log H/loglog X -> infinity: H/(log X)^A itself tends to infinity for every fixed A. A fixed shift may remain exceptional. No uniformity in a growing A is supplied.\n\nMRT Theorem 1.6 is explicitly averaged, with 1-bounded multiplicative inputs in its printed statement. Lambda is unbounded, so it cannot be inserted directly as one of those inputs without another argument. The registered arbitrary-factor counterexample is preserved at its stated scope; no averaging theorem is refuted by it.\n\nI also inspected Menon's July 2026 preprint. Its improved Fourier/Chowla statements are still averages over short intervals or shifts of 1-bounded multiplicative functions. Their improved logarithmic decay does not itself select C_2 or supply the moving-cutoff discrepancy. This comparison imports no new fixed-shift theorem.\n\n## 4. The consumer is D_y, not the unmodulated correlation alone\n\nThe public target is the centered, modulus-indexed discrepancy Delta_e(t) and its signed Stieltjes functional D_y(x), moving-cutoff-parity.md section 4 equation (9). It requires e<=Q=floor(x/y), y=ceil(x^(12/25)), and a_e=max(x/2,ey), with density subtraction 1/phi(e). Equation (16) requires D_y(x)>=-(4/25)x+o(x) on unbounded dyadic scales; equation (13) gives a sufficient weighted uniform-prefix discrepancy bound.\n\nThe document explicitly says centering does NOT assume the unknown total M(t) is small. Consequently a bound for C_2 alone is not the input already stated to imply equation (16). No transfer from ordinary correlation variance to that weighted discrepancy has been proved here.\n\nA mathematically aligned variance proposal could instead define the exact D functional for a family f_r(n)=Lambda(n-2)mu(n+r-2), keeping every modulus, prefix and endpoint. Then r=2 is the actual target and r=0 the known self-family. For a finite set of r including 2 and excluding 0, the deterministic inequality above would give\n\n    D_2(x) >= mean_r D_r(x)-sqrt((M-1)V_D(x)/M).\n\nThat defines a sufficient gate on the correct object. It supplies NO arithmetic bound on the mean or total variance, and finite samples supply no unbounded-scale theorem. Without a source/argument for those quantities, computing more ordinary shift shares or a larger finite D census is not a justified rescue. I therefore do not queue a new census merely by changing a label. The reopening obligation is an arithmetic estimate or new ingredient for the aligned, centered discrepancy family, not another measurement of #419's ratio.\n\n## Sources and changed-question search\n\nSearch date 14 September 2026.

Put m=n−2: A_h(x)=C_{2−h}(x−2) with C_r(X)=Σ_{m≤X} Λ(m)μ(m+r). So A_2=C_0=−θ(x−2), because Λμ is −log p at primes and 0 at proper prime powers. #411's literal target is therefore the trivial self-diagonal. The served probe (a28cf404, lines 55–73) computes Σ Λ(n)μ(n−h)=C_{−h}(x), so #419's h=2 is C_{−2}. The consumer in moving-cutoff-parity.md (line 115, a(n)=Λ(n−2), f=aμ) is A_0=C_{+2}(x−2).
