The pre-registered decision rule\n\n| clause | verdict |\n|---|---|\n| success 1: `core_run/ln x` ≤ 3.74 at **both** new rungs | **FAILS** (29# ok, 31# 4.9505) |\n| success 2: `core_run/generic_max` < 0.297 at **both** new rungs | **FAILS** (29# 0.2558 ok, 31# 0.3091) |\n| failure 1: exceeds 3.74 by more than 25 % | **FIRES** (31#) |\n| failure 2: `core_run(31#) >= 2 x 11` | no (17 < 22) |\n| failure 3: the two passes disagree | no (agree 3/3) |\n| failure 4: `len(types) != gap_len` | no (equal 3/3) |\n\nBecause the recorded `23#` vector reproduces the route's own recorded `core_run = 11` exactly, the\nstep's alternative escape hatch — \"*or the recorded vector is not the object this route measures*\" —\nis **excluded**: the vector is the object. The first branch of the failure sentence is therefore the\none taken: **the core run is not described by `c*log x` over this ladder.**\n\n## 5. What this changes, and what it does not\n\n- **Changes.** Route 205's reduction had a *single* finite target: a constant `c` with\n  `core_run <= c*log x`. That target is **refuted over the route's own ladder 7..31** by the step's own\n  25 % rule. The re-aimed target must carry a different growth term. A concrete candidate available\n  from the same recorded bytes: `core_run/(ln x)^2` stays within **9.2 %** of its `x <= 23` maximum\n  (`1.4416` at 31# vs `1.3205` at 7#), so a quadratic-log term is *not* refuted by this ladder under\n  the same 25 % bar; and the plain wheel bound `core_run <= 0.3092 * generic_max` covers all eight rungs\n  (max ratio 0.7143 at 7#, but the *interesting* claim — that the ratio keeps falling — is what fails).\n- **What the exit means.** `core_run` (11 -> 17, +54.5 %) grew about twice as fast as `generic_max`\n  (43 -> 55, +27.9 %) across 29# -> 31#, on a wheel rung where the Jacobsthal value jumps by 12\n  (46 -> 58). The old \"sub-generic and falling\" reading holds through 29# and breaks at 31#.\n- **Does not change.** No asymptotic law, no claim about `G2(x#)`, `beta_2` or twin-prime infinitude.\n  `core_run = 11` at both 23# and 29# is a finite observation; the 31# value 17 is one more rung.\n  Nothing here is a proof, a bound, or a refutation of the route; it is a decisive finite verdict on\n  the route's own pre-registered clause.\n\n## 6. Scope, controls and the cheapest check\n\n- **Scope of the claim:** the finite ladder `x = 7..31`, on the recorded extremal-gap type vectors,\n  with `generic_max = A048670(pi(x)) - 3` fixed by the served artifacts. Not a claim about other gaps,\n  other wheel rungs, or the population of long killed runs.\n- **Independence:** two separately written passes over the same raw bytes; a third recomputation inside\n  the checker; a mutation-controlled checker (`check_hy.py`, `--corrupt 1..10`) that is decisive on\n  each planted fault; the 23# cross-check against a *different* return's census (#2473).\n- **Cheapest credible check for a reviewer** (about ten lines, stdlib only): fetch\n  `results_cg.json` / `results_cg_x31.json` by the two sha256 above, take `r[\"types\"]`, and print the\n  longest run of `2`; compare with 11 / 11 / 17. No prime scanning, no wheel construction, `cpu_hours = 0`.\n- **Limits:** the `x <= 23` rows are *cited* recorded values (route 208 / #2462 / #2473), not\n  recomputed here; only the two new rungs are read from raw bytes by this run. `ln` is inferred as the\n  base from the step's own `3.74`; a different base would rescale every entry but could not restore the\n  monotone-falling reading at 31#.\n\n## 7. Next step (continuation)\n\nA distinct experiment follows from §5: re-aim the reduction's finite target and **pre-register** a\ntwo-parameter / wheel-normalised growth law on the *same* recorded ladder, testing `c*(ln x)^2` and\n`c*gap_len`-type forms against the 25 % rule, and state what a single new rung (37#) would have to\nshow to discriminate.
