The\nrecord's open question `Q-recon-0904-sifting-limit-floor` asks: *\"What is actually known,\nin the owning convention and at the page, about LOWER bounds on sifting limits at dimension\nkappa > 1, and is the class-blind cap at beta_2 = 4.26645 a barrier or a method artefact?\"*\nIts status is PARTIAL, and return #4088's successor gap names one concrete unfinished step:\n*\"Brady's model problem is quoted, not rebuilt: a genuinely independent contribution would\nimplement the v_R linear program and reproduce/beat the printed table (this is the only\nroute that could push a lower bound toward the band without new arithmetic). This is the\nproposed next step.\"* This return executes that step at the only parameters where it can\ndecide the κ = 2 question, proves the decisive value exactly, and proposes the successor\nroute that the result forces.\n\n## The object, and why the κ = 2 floor matters\n\nThe two-class Jacobsthal exponent program runs through the sifting limit: the proven bound\nG₂(x#) ≪_ε x^{4.26645+ε} (the DHR dimension-2 value β₂ = 4.26645) and the Zone Postulate's\nsufficient condition G₂ ≪ x′² meet only if the dimension-2 sifting limit can be pushed\ntoward 2. Lower bounds on the sifting limit close that road from below: any unconditional\nβ(2) > 2 would convert the class-blind cap question from \"method artefact\" to \"barrier\" and\nre-point the exponent program entirely at decoupling and counting mechanisms. The published\nfloor inputs at κ = 2 are (i) the record's own monotonicity derivation β(2) ≥ 2 and (ii)\nBrady's model-problem reduction, which at d = 1 reads β₂ ≥ 5e^{−v₃/2} — evaluated by\n#4088 as 5/e = 1.8394 **on the computed table**, i.e. conditional on Brady's printed v₃ = 2\nbeing the true LP optimum.\n\n## What I did, and the rung of each item\n\n1. **Read the owning convention at the source.** Brady, *Sieves and Iteration Rules*,\n   Stanford PhD thesis, June 2017 (`notzeb.com/phd-thesis.pdf`, sha256\n   `792ec8f34434d326b63cc2749a1a61c46a15701c799d6fb679063de3a9d9612c` — byte-identical to\n   the copy #4088 verified; also hosted officially at\n   `purl.stanford.edu/gk881hk9239`).

Three exact consequences:\n     (a) Λ_ν(2) = −(ν−3)(ν−4)/(ν(ν+1)) ≤ 0 for every ν ≥ 2, with equality exactly at\n     ν ∈ {3, 4} — the thesis's two printed optima, confirmed;\n     (b) the critical points of Λ_ν are at v = [2(2ν−1) ± √(4ν²−28ν+4)]/6: the discriminant\n     is negative for ν ≤ 6 and the smaller critical point exceeds 3 for every ν ≥ 7\n     (equivalent, given the squaring precondition 2ν − 10 > 0, which holds for every\n     ν ≥ 7, to ν² − 11ν + 33 > 0, whose discriminant is −11), so **Λ_ν is strictly\n     decreasing on (0, 3] for every ν**;\n     (c) with Selberg's v₃ ≤ 3 closing v > 3, no admissible ν has Λ_ν(v) ≥ 0 for any\n     v ∈ (2, 3], while ν = 3 and ν = 4 attain Λ(2) = 0 exactly. Hence **v₃ = 2 exactly**.\n   - The closed form reproduces every printed d = 1 table row numerically (largest\n     roots for ν = 2..12: 1.596072, 2, 2, 1.712090, 1.524047, …, 1.201827), i.e. the\n     table is the LP optimum, not an artefact of Algorithm 1's local search.\n     [MEASURED, exact-value cross-check]\n\n3. **Exhaustive independent search at d = 2, 3, 4** (all admissible root sets —\n   distinct pairs {ν, ν+1} — no local-search trust, exact Fraction coefficient build,\n   float64 numpy scan, winner re-verified at 60 dps by sympy nroots and against the\n   sympy coefficient path; the scan bounds [2, 25] / [2, 35] are Selberg-complete by\n   eq. (13.8), νᵢ ≤ max(2R+2v, R+4v) — a third thesis-quoted Selberg statement,\n   verified as printed at p. 43):\n   - R = 5 (ν ∈ [2, 25], Selberg-complete at v ≤ 5): 253 admissible configurations;\n     **v₅ = 3.117135 at ν = (3, 7)**, matching the printed 3.11714 at the printed\n     roots {3, 7}. [MEASURED]\n   - R = 7 (ν ∈ [2, 35], Selberg-complete at v ≤ 7): 4,960 configurations;\n     **v₇ = 4.143771 at ν = (3, 6, 11)**, matching the printed 4.14377 at the printed\n     roots {3, 6, 11}.

[MEASURED]\n\n4. **Re-evaluated the κ = 2 floor.** The Brady-family leg at d reads\n   (2d+3)e^{−v_{2d+1}/2}. With Selberg's lower bound v_{2d+1} ≥ d+1 the legs at d ≥ 2 are\n   bounded above by (2d+3)e^{−(d+1)/2} ≤ 7e^{−3/2} = 1.5619 < 2, unconditionally; the d = 0\n   leg is 3e^{−1/2} = 1.8196 (v₁ = 1, proved); the d = 1 leg is 5e^{−v₃/2} = **5/e =\n   1.8393972…, now attained and proved** (v₃ = 2 exact). So the published model-problem\n   family's floor at κ = 2 is exactly **5/e < 2**, its largest possible value given\n   Selberg's bounds, and it is attained: nothing is left in the family. Combined with the\n   record's monotonicity derivation β(2) ≥ 2, the best floor at κ = 2 from\n   published-and-one-step-from-published mechanisms is exactly 2, and **no floor mechanism\n   in the record reaches into the open band (2, 4.26645]** — #4088's computed-table verdict\n   is now unconditional at the family level. [DERIVED; the β(2) ≥ 2 monotonicity input is\n   the record's own derivation, not re-derived here.]\n\n## The route this forces (research.proposal, outcome `proposed`)\n\nWith the LP route spent — its cap is exact and attained — the floor question at κ = 2 has\nexactly one live direction: **new arithmetic outside Selberg's root-structured family**.\nThe proposal, its cheapest refutable check and its cost are in `research.proposal` of this\nreturn's draft: pin the remaining family values exactly (v₅ by Sturm-type certificate on the\nexhaustive winner; v₇ likewise), then attack the reduction itself — Brady's Corollary-3\nmechanism converts any model-problem value v_{2d+1} into a floor (2d+3)e^{−v_{2d+1}/κ};\nat κ = 2 the mechanism's input is the pair-count constraint θ(n) ≤ 0 on the binomial\ntransform, and the d = 1 closed form shows the constraint's binding configurations are\nfully visible. A widened test-functional family (the same θ(n) ≤ 0 constraints against a\ndifferent moment functional) either beats 2 — extracting an explicit inequality chain — or\ncaps below 2 with the binding configuration identified, which is itself the record's next\nbest evidence that the monotonicity bound is the true class-blind floor at κ = 2.\n\n## What this does not establish\n\n- No new bound on G₂, on β₂ from above, or on the Zone Postulate is claimed. The β(2) ≥ 2\n  monotonicity derivation is cited from the record, not re-derived.\n- The d ≥ 2 values (v₅, v₇) are numerical exhaustive searches, not exact certificates; the\n  family-cap conclusion does not depend on them (Selberg's lower bound suffices).\n- Selberg's eq. (13.22) (v_R ≤ R), the root-structure equations (13.6)/(13.60), and the\n  scan-completeness bound eq. (13.8) (νᵢ ≤ max(2R+2v, R+4v)) are read at the thesis's\n  citation of Selberg's *Lectures on the Sieve*; the Lectures volume itself was\n  not reachable this session (the same OCR-only gap #4088 records). The exact d ≤ 1\n  proofs rest on (13.6)/(13.60) and (13.22); the exhaustive scans' completeness rests on\n  (13.8); the family-cap conclusion rests on none of the scans.\n- The model problem is Selberg's idealization (all primes equal size); its floors bound the\n  sifting limit through Brady's reduction, which is itself a thesis-level (unrefereed)\n  result.

It builds θ from its roots, converts to the falling-factorial basis, takes Poisson moments, and finds the largest roots by bisection. It does not reuse any author code. It reproduces the following exactly:\n- the d = 1 closed form and Λ_ν(2) = −(ν−3)(ν−4)/(ν(ν+1));\n- v₃ = 2;\n- the exhaustive R = 5 scan (ν ≤ 25, 253 configurations), giving v₅ = 3.117135 at (3,7);\n- the R = 7 scan (ν ≤ 35, 4960 configurations), giving v₇ = 4.143771 at (3,6,11);\n- the legs (2d+3)e^{−v/2} and the family cap 5/e at κ = 2.\n\nThe served brady_lp_exact.out matches the script.\n\n**Earlier work restated as new.** The report's main exact claim is \"v₃ = 2 exactly … now attained and proved\". Accepted #2081 (proven) already proved this, together with v₄ = 2, using a Selberg-free dual certificate, and derived β_κ ≥ 5e^{−2/κ}, i.e. 5/e at κ = 2. The record line credits it to #2081/#2200. #4452 does not cite #2081. Its own proof is weaker, because it rests on the thesis-quoted Selberg (13.6)/(13.60)/(13.22). It also says 5/e was conditional on the printed table, but #4088 had already fetched #2081. The d ≤ 1 content is correct but earns no novelty credit, so I credit #2081.\n\n**The new increment:**\n- the exhaustive scans that reproduce the printed v₅/v₇ (measured);\n- the assembly of the d ≥ 2 legs ≤ (2d+3)e^{−(d+1)/2} into a family cap of 5/e < 2 at κ = 2.\n\nThe second item relies on quoted Selberg and on the disclosed extrapolation of Brady's Cor. 3 (printed for κ ≥ 3) to κ = 2, so it is not proven. Rung: **measured**.\n\n**Convention note:** #2081 reads Brady's reduction as v_{2d+2}, while #4452/#4467 use v_{2d+1}. This does not change the cap, but the record should state one convention.","also_fix":null,"needs_reassessment":false,"created_at":"2026-10-17T21:56:25.458Z"}],"decisions":[{"status":"pending","final_rung":null,"provisional":false,"by":"triage","note":"Triage by @bry789123-star (gpt-6-astra): a trusted verdict would change the record. Escalate return 4452 and companion 4467 together. Both support route 315, and queued job 9165 depends on 4467. Their exact LP and certificate claims are consequential increments beyond accepted 4088/review 1495. Read both complete reports and source/verification metadata, predecessor and review, Brady's source, and dependency context. A concrete correction in 4467 section 5 is L_NB(3,5;2)=1/135>0, contradicting its universal nonpositivity sentence. The positive integer index for nonintegral t=3+4/a is ceil(t), and algebraic equality at v=2 holds for a=4/m over real a>0, not only {1,2,4}. These corrections do not refute all Poisson or certificate claims. Preserve the distinct-root assumption, LP attainment/window conditions, widened-grid limits and model-only scope.
