No resolvable width shows a depletion of the wheel's kind, so the\ntransfer (sieve-generic) reading is **excluded**, and in fact reversed at small widths; the frozen\n*flatness* bar (|rho - 1| <= 0.05 and |z| <= 1 at every width) is **not** met, so both levels score\n**VERDICT: UNRESOLVED** under the pre-registered taxonomy.\n\n## 1. The obligation being answered\n\nRoute 228's held step (set by #2624; step-checked by #4388 and restated in this job's own\n`research_task`) asks whether the lucky level word's **own-ensemble** origin/interior ratio — the\np-less analogue of the wheel's rho(u) — stays flat at 1 across window widths u in [1, 3], so that the\nwheel's origin-depletion trough is absent from the lucky word's own ensemble and the zone-share claim\nreads **prime-specific** under the origin-isolating map class, or whether a trough of the wheel's kind\nappears, in which case the deficit **transfers** and the claim reads sieve-generic.\n\nThe predecessor **#4409** measured this object once, at the single frozen width S_L = 3163^2, and\nreturned SCOPED because its process-comparing controls (Hawkins, i.i.d.) disagreed with the\norigin-isolating E1 map. This run scans a **grid of widths** and grades the **origin-isolating map\nonly**, as the step requires.\n\n## 2. LEVEL-WORD CORRECTION (the instrument, and how it was pinned)\n\nThis assignment was recovered: the interrupted session had registered it and left it outstanding, with\nno measurement produced. Its producer built the **full lucky set (A000959)** — \"the lucky numbers ≤ N\" —\nand the frozen object of the route is not that set: the served step names the *level-ell word*\n(ell = 3153, 409 pivots, built on [1, 1e8]), i.e. the set surviving the first pivot deletions of Ulam's\nsieve, and the two objects have different densities, counts and pair densities. Three served numbers\nfrom #4409 discriminate them, and this run's corrected engine reproduces all three:\n\n| quantity | served (#4409) | full lucky set | level word (this run) |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| survivor density | q_ell = 0.093439 | ~0.054 at 1e8 | **0.093439** |\n| twin-slot pair density | 1.3112e-2 | ~0.0056 at 1e7 | **0.013142** |\n| origin count in [1, S_L] (S_L = 1.0004569e7) | origin_L = 131 184 | ~55 500 | **131 184 (exact)** |\n| decile density ratio over [1, N] | 1.0002 | ~1.25 (trips the drift stop) | **1.0002** |\n\nThe corrected producer `derive_lw.py` applies the same Ulam deletions as before, truncated to the\nlevel's own pivots (the luckies 3, 7, 9, ..., 3153: 408 deletions), which is also why the frozen build range is\nreachable: the full sieve needs a very long pivot cascade (measured cost `sumlen ~ n^1.76`, about 2.4\nhours at 1e8 on this 1-CPU machine — `sieve_cost_fa.py`), while the level word needs only those\n408 deletions: **45.4 s** at N = 1e8 plus 6.0 s for the pair list. There is therefore no\nbuild-range deviation in this return: the pre-registration's N = 1e8 is used, and the only anchor that\ntests the word's identity — #4409's own frozen row — is reproduced.\n\nAlso note what the correction does **not** touch: the pre-registration's grids, statistics, verdict\nrules, drift stop and resolvability rule are applied unchanged, and `PREREGISTRATION.md` is unedited\n(its frozen sha256 is asserted by the checker).\n\n## 3. Instrument\n\n- **Word and engine.** Ulam's sieve on the odd numbers, truncated at the level's pivots:\n  `a = [1, 3, 5, ...]`, then delete every a[i]-th survivor for i = 1..408 (pivots 3 ... 3153).\n  Built to N = 1e8: **9 343 859 survivors** (density 0.093439), **1 314 173 twin-lucky slots**\n  (pair density 0.013142); the level's next lucky is 3163.\n- **Independent validation of the pivot table.** A separately written implementation of the *full*\n  sieve (`anchor_fa.py`) reproduces the route's published anchors at 1e7: **609 237 luckies**\n  and **55 548 twin-lucky slots** plus the first 20 luckies (`anchor_fa.json`).\n- **Statistics (pre-registered, unchanged).** Origin O(u) = twin slots inside [1, S(u)]; interior mean\n  M(u) = the **exact** mean window count over all admissible starts; interior sd = sample sd (ddof = 1)\n  over K = 4096 uniform starts from `numpy.random.default_rng(20261017)` in starts [S, N-S]; rho(u) = O/M;\n  z(u) = (O - sampled interior mean)/sd. Resolvability (producer and checker): S <= N/2, so that\n  interior windows actually exist.\n- **Controls.** `check_fa.py` implements 12 checks with an independent recomputation of the verdict\n  rules, the arithmetic and the bookkeeping, plus one single-field corruption control per check\n  (12/12 decisive). C03 pins the word's identity (density, pair density, pivot count and level), C04\n  the served origin count 131 184 exactly, C05 the served interior mean 131515.75 to 0.05 slots,\n  C09 the drift stop, C11 the build range and the disclosed unresolvable widths, C12 that the numbers\n  quoted here are the stored row's numbers.\n\n## 4.

Reading of the result\n\n- **No width shows the wheel's trough, and the small widths show the opposite.** The comparison point\n  is the wheel's origin trough rho(2) = e^(2gamma)/4 = **0.793055**, a 20.7% depletion. The frozen\n  TROUGH rule (rho <= 0.95 with z <= -3) never fires: trough rows found: **none**.\n  The smallest ratio anywhere is **0.997478** (u = 2.00) and the most negative z is **-1.37**.\n  At the frozen width u = 2 the deficit is 0.25% (-1.37 interior sd) against\n  112.4 sd for a wheel-sized deficit — the same reading #4409 recorded.\n- **The own-ensemble is not position-stationary at small widths; it is origin-ENRICHED there.** The\n  rows with an excess at z >= +3 are [('1.00', '1.8777', '+7.31'), ('1.25', '1.1518', '+3.80'), ('1.00', '3.8573', '+5.54'), ('1.50', '1.8325', '+6.92'), ('2.00', '1.0869', '+3.15')]. The excess decays monotonically with width: 3.8573 at\n  u = 1.00, 1.1518 at 1.25, 1.0173 at 1.5, then\n  0.9984 (z -0.30) and 0.997478 (z -1.37) at the frozen width, and\n  0.999072 / 0.997845 on the shallow ladder. Stationarity at the stated band\n  |rho - 1| <= 0.005 holds from u = 1.75 (S = 1 334 055) upward.\n- **What this does to the step's question.** The step's transfer branch is refuted at every resolvable\n  width, and with the sign reversed at small widths: the wheel's *origin depletion* has no counterpart\n  in the lucky level word's own ensemble. The step's *flat* branch is not established either, because\n  the small-width excess is the frozen bar's failure, so the taxonomy scores **VERDICT: UNRESOLVED** at the\n  anchor level and **VERDICT: UNRESOLVED** at the shallow level. The practical statement that follows is scoped:\n  on this word the own-ensemble ratio is a *width-dependent* quantity with a stationary regime for\n  S >= 1 334 055, and the frozen width S_L = 3163^2 sits inside that regime.\n- **Not established here.** Anything about the process-comparing maps (Hawkins, i.i.d.), which the step\n  makes scope-only and which are not recomputed; any asymptotic claim (the measurement is one finite\n  word at one level); any novelty claim over the lucky-number literature, which studies the random-sieve\n  model, the n-th term and the gaps, not window-position dependence (`prior_art_fa.md`).\n\n## 6. Dead ends and what was not done\n\n- **The full lucky set (A000959) is not the route's object.** It was the interrupted attempt's\n  instrument; its density, pair density, origin count and decile ratio all disagree with the served\n  numbers, and its build to 1e8 is also out of reach here (measured cost model). It is not published as\n  this return's producer and its measurements are not used.\n- **A truncated build range is not needed and was not used.** Once the object is right the frozen\n  N = 1e8 is cheap (45.4 s), so the earlier deviation idea was dropped.\n- **Anchor-level widths u = 2.25, 2.28** remain unresolvable at N = 1e8 for a geometric reason:\n  their windows are wider than N/2, so no interior window of the same width disjoint from the origin\n  exists. The shallow ladder covers the wide end (u = 2.5, 3.0) instead.\n- **No rule was added after the run**: verdict rules, drift stop and resolvability are the\n  pre-registered ones; the checker's C03/C05/C11 pin the corrected object and the served row.\n\n## 7.

Corrected instrument: the\nroute's level-ell word (ell = 3153, 408 pivot deletions) on the pre-registered build range N = 1e8, whose\nidentity is pinned by #4409's own served numbers (density 0.093439 vs q_ell 0.093439; pair density\n0.013142 vs 1.3112e-2; decile ratio 1.0002 vs 1.0002), with the route's published full-sieve anchors\nreproduced independently at 1e7 (609 237 luckies, 55 548 twin-lucky slots).\n\nMEASURED. At the frozen width u = 2 (S = 10 004 569) the origin window holds 131 184 twin slots against an\nexact interior mean of 131515.72 (served 131515.75), rho = 0.997478 (served 0.997477), z = -1.37\n- a 0.25% deficit where the wheel's origin trough is a 20.7% depletion (a wheel-sized deficit would be\n112.4 interior sd). Across the width grid the ratio is an origin EXCESS at small widths (3.8573 at\nu = 1.00, 1.1518 at 1.25, 1.0173 at 1.5) that decays to the interior mean\nfrom u = 1.75 (S = 1 334 055) onward (0.9984, 0.997478, and 0.997845 on the shallow ladder). No resolvable width at\neither level has rho <= 0.95 with z <= -3.\n\nWHAT IT CHANGES. (1) The wheel's origin depletion does NOT transfer to the lucky level word's own\nensemble at any measured width - the sign is opposite at small widths - so the sieve-generic reading of\nthe zone-share deficit is excluded over this grid. (2) The own-ensemble ratio is NOT flat at the frozen\nbar: the pre-registered FLAT rule (|z| <= 1 and |rho - 1| <= 0.05 at every width) fails on the small-width\nexcess, so both levels score VERDICT: UNRESOLVED; the step is narrowed, not closed. (3) A scoped, usable statement\nsurvives: on this word the own-ensemble reading is stationary (|rho - 1| <= 0.005) only for S >= 1 334 055,\nwhich contains the frozen width S_L = 3163^2, so #4409's single-width row is inside the stationary regime.\n(4) The interrupted attempt's instrument (the full lucky set A000959) was the wrong object; it is\ncorrected here, with the served numbers as the discriminator, and its build cost model (sumlen ~ n^1.76,\n~2.4 h at 1e8 for the full sieve) explains why the wrong object also blocked progress.\n\nWHAT IT DOES NOT CHANGE. #4409's SCOPED verdict stands; the process-comparing maps (Hawkins, i.i.d.)\nstay scope-only and are not recomputed; no asymptotic claim is made from one finite word; no novelty is\nclaimed over the lucky-number literature.\n\nGRADE. Measured: exact counts and closed-form interior means from a byte-frozen engine, the served\nsingle-width row reproduced exactly (origin count exact, mean within 0.03 slots, ratio within 0.000001), the route's\npublished anchors re-derived by an independent implementation, 12/12 checks with 12/12 single-field\ncorruption controls.

The canonical survey pointer is **R. K. Guy, *Unsolved Problems in\n  Number Theory*, §C3 \"Lucky numbers\"** (3rd ed. p. 164), which records the density belief and the open\n  questions; Gardner's *Workout* ch. 21 is the popular account.\n- **Asymptotics are known only in the random model.** **Hawkins & Briggs (1957)** and **Hawkins (1958)**\n  prove a prime-number-theorem-type result for the *Hawkins random sieve*; **Heyde (1978)** shows\n  Hawkins' random primes satisfy the PNT and the Riemann hypothesis almost surely; **Bui–Keating\n  (2006)** give an asymptotic formula for k-difference twins of **Hawkins primes**, and Wunderlich\n  (1974) for k = 1. These are model results, not statements about the deterministic word at a finite\n  build range.\n- **Recent deterministic work.** **Dreeckmeier, arXiv:2511.11657 (2025)** gives an exact formula for\n  the n-th lucky number, a lucky analogue of Bertrand's postulate and a gap bound: the *sequence*, not\n  the window-position profile of the word's pair density.\n\n## What is not published, i.e. the remaining gap\nNo located source measures the **position dependence** of the deterministic lucky (or level) word's\ntwin-slot density at matched window width — origin window `[1, S]` versus interior windows of the same\nwidth `S` — and none compares such a reading against the wheel/prime-side origin-depletion trough\n`rho(2) = e^{2gamma}/4 = 0.793055`. The published fluctuation work is either about the random model or\nabout counts and gaps.

Its frozen verdict was **SCOPED**\n  because its *process-comparing* maps (Hawkins, i.i.d.) disagreed with the origin-isolating E1 map —\n  and its word is the **level-ell** word (ell = 3153), not the full lucky set; this return's engine\n  reproduces its density, pair density, decile ratio and frozen row.\n- **#5461 (route 228, queued)** is the zone-share analogue step, not this measurement.\n- **#2547 / #2554** are the route's anchors for the frozen engine (`L(1e7) = 609 237`, lucky twin pairs\n  `55 548`) and the Hawkins control; reused as anchors only.\n\n## Consequence for the return\nThe return can claim a *measurement* within a publishable frame — a multi-width own-ensemble\norigin/interior scan of the route's level word with a pre-registered bar — and must not claim novelty\nover the random-model literature, which answers a different question.
