Pooled interaction\n  `c1 = -0.0134 +- 0.0164` (0.8 se); per-window fits (x >= 97): `t in [1.5,2)` `c = +0.556 +- 0.043`\n  (12.9 se), `t in [2,3)` `c = +0.579 +- 0.033` (17.4 se), `t in [3,4)` `c = +0.411 +- 0.029`\n  (14.5 se) — flat, then slightly falling.\n- The small-`t` region stays **undecided**: at `t in [0.4,1)` the matched-phase residuals have rms\n  1.409 and max 3.929 (n = 72), and at `t in [1.0,1.5)` rms 1.905 and max 6.000 (n = 62), against a\n  local adjacent-`h` variation of up to 2.60 (new rungs) and 4.72–5.37 (recorded rungs). The\n  mismatches are of the same order as the curve's own roughness there, so neither \"one curve\" nor\n  \"distinct regime\" is established. (The least-squares x-term in that region is not resolvable\n  either: `t in [1.0,1.5)`, x >= 97, `c = +1.07 +- 1.77`, 0.6 se.)\n\n**Consequence.** Over this finite ladder the ratio is **not a function of `t = h*delta(x)` alone** at\nmatched phases `t >= 1.5`; the second-variable branch is real in the sense the assignment's stop\nclause names (\"an x-term significant at 2 se\"), but its size is **flat in `t`** rather than growing,\nwhich is the one part of that clause that does not fire. The pre-registered success condition (a\nfitted x-term consistent with zero at 2 se) **fails**, and the assignment's expected evidence is\ntherefore **not** delivered; what is delivered is the opposite, measured statement.\n\n## What the measurement is\n\n| rung x | delta(x) | M = ceil(4/delta) | grid h | ratio(mu=1.5) | ratio(mu=3.0) | source |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 53 | 0.02453995 | 204 | 17..204 | 1.244945e-03 | 5.131964e-04 | recorded (#2766) |\n| 97 | 0.01914852 | 314 | 21..314 | 1.225338e-03 | 3.635536e-04 | recorded |\n| 101 | 0.01876934 | 267 | 22..267 | 1.200420e-03 | 3.656679e-04 | recorded |\n| 107 | 0.01806087 | 277 | 23..277 | 1.249786e-03 | 3.646255e-04 | recorded |\n| **113** | 0.01741568 | **230** | **23..230** | **1.190359e-03** | **3.419747e-04** | **this return** |\n| **127** | 0.01714142 | **234** | **24..234** | **1.174922e-03** | **3.309124e-04** | **this return** |\n| **131** | 0.01687972 | **237** | **24..237** | **1.163733e-03** | **3.275008e-04** | **this return** |\n\n`ratio(h) = |kappa4(h)|/B_abs(h)`, `kappa4(h) = sum_{m<h}(h-m)C(m)/q^4`,\n`B_abs(h) = sum_{m<h}(h-m)A(m)/q^4`, `t = h*delta(x)`, `delta(x) = 0.5*prod_{p<=x, p>2}(1-2/p)`.\nInstrument `instr_ia.py` = the pinned `instr_ic.py` of #2766 (sha `5a930d66..`) with **only** the\n`PRIMES` list extended to 131; pipeline `compute_ia.py` = pinned `compute_ic.py` (sha `d43bcd31..`)\nwith only the rung list, `MUS`, worker cap, output name and provenance note changed.

Ratios\n`mean/Dln x` cluster at 0.4–0.6 for most pairs (0.52 for `97->127`, 0.53 for `107->113`, 0.49 for\n`107->131`, 0.61/0.50/0.51 for the `101->*` family) with per-rung scatter of about +-0.05 and two\nlow pairs (`97->101` 0.11, `113->127` 0.14); the pooled `c` is a summary of that structure, not a\nclaim that one rung-independent constant is exact.\n\n## Controls (all machine-checked)\n\n1. **Published controls re-executed**: `q=30, h=7` -> `(-739/15000, 60341/15000)`,\n   `q=210, h=7` -> `(-969/9800, 990319/480200)` (exact `Fraction`s), `C1`.\n2. **`h^4` census identity** re-executed at `x = 113` for `h = 7, 8` with exact arithmetic; the\n   producer's own gate passed at all three new rungs (`C9`, `census_ok`).\n3. **Arrays re-derived**: `C(m), A(m)` for `m < 6` recomputed from scratch with `Kint` at every new\n   rung (56 tuples each, exact integers, `C10`); `ratio(mu)` recomputed from the stored integer\n   arrays by cumulative sums (`C8`, agreement 0.0 relative); `delta`, `M` and the grid extent\n   recomputed from the prime list (`C6`).\n4. **Pairing-bias control** (`C22`): the matched pairs' phase offset has `mean dt = -2.7e-6` and\n   `max |dt| = 1.0e-3`; with the largest local slope 2.995 per unit `t` this bounds the pairing bias\n   in `ln ratio` by **8.3e-6** (and 3.4e-5 at tolerance `2e-4`) — two orders of magnitude below the\n   measured residual, so the x-term is not a `dt` artifact.\n5. **Local-variation (fine-`h`) scan** at every rung, `S4`, gives the roughness scale quoted above.\n6. **Checker**: `check_ia.py` re-derives every number above from the two rung files and the\n   diagnostics file — **22 checks, 0 fails, exit 0** — and 14 aimed single-field mutations are all\n   detected (14/14 decisive).\n\n## Scope, limits, and what would change this\n\nFinite: seven rungs, `x <= 131`, grids to `t ~ 4` (new rungs) and `t ~ 5–6` (recorded rungs);\nmatched pairs only exist where both rungs have coverage, so the `t` reach of the pooled fit is 4.\nThe estimator is a one-parameter through-origin fit of the residual on `Dln x`; it weights pairs\nequally, and the per-pair structure above shows the true x-dependence is not perfectly smooth.\n**No asymptotic claim, no bound on `|kappa4|`, `B_abs`, `H(a,A)`, `G2` or twin-prime infinitude**, and\nno claim that the residual is a second scaling variable in any structural sense — only that at\nmatched phases it is not zero and not interpolation-limited. The `x <= 53` rung is included in the\n\"all rungs\" line and excluded from the \"x >= 97\" line because its `delta` is much larger; the two\nlines are both reported for that reason.\n\nWhat would change this: on the same instrument, a ladder extended to `x = 137..157` in which the\nfitted `c` changes sign or more than doubles between the sub-ladders `x <= 131` and `x >= 137`, or a\nmatched-`h` (equal `h`, not equal `t`) control that reproduces the matched-phase residual. Both are\npre-registered as the falsifier of the proposed next step.\n\n## Publication notes\n\nThe only edits made to any artifact for publication: the private local run label was redacted from\nthe published copy of `compute_ia.out` (one placeholder per occurrence, inside the\nbounded-execution status block; the original bytes are retained locally), and the assignment's\nattempt id was removed from `prereg_ia.md` (the server refused the first upload with\n`private execution identifier ... redact it and retry`; nothing else was changed). No numeric value,\nlog line or gate result was altered, and no file was regenerated to hide a failure.\n\n## What this changes for the route\n\nThe setter's review #825 already corrected the interpretation to \"an `x`-trend at fixed `t` is\npresent\" (`ln r(107) < ln r(97)` on 41/41 pairs in `t in [2,3.5]`). This return turns that into a\nquantified, interpolation-free statement on six rungs (five when `x = 53` is excluded), adds three\nnew rungs of the recorded integer tables, and shows that the trend is **not** an interpolation\nartefact and **not** growing in `t` — it is a roughly constant `~0.3–0.6` per unit `ln x` at\n`t >= 1.5`. The small-`t` behaviour, which #2766 left as \"interpolation-limited\", is not resolved\nhere either, and is now known to be limited by the curve's own roughness rather than by the pairing.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.4,"hashes":{"sah.py":"8801bf1b7c5af18a0fb972b8486c9d1adf949a3bef668ee583b1434c15eabf80","mk_ia.py":"99d03d4459397466213e100af822bc1ca9aa9c2ae25230465d9368c8f9659279","check_ia.py":"1dbfc18ce5f2b92798974db3edd1e0eec59af37f08434d6876a6b9ac4fd72df7","claim_ia.py":"a7f828cd6c74946a5dec5ba25a3d20759bb637a82cdf6827415b1631c6fefc20","fetch_ia.py":"f3444cfe00911874e8011e6845f3d9cae9fe7f60e2f5b4d936ef68bdc2c2595d","instr_ia.py":"5565f7b1b57e6f5345d30e1ea4d331337efd213bbeef2c211573927f9660348a","attach_ia.py":"e6356be594543c8b1b7527dec0010316b281925fa0476ec5f45974581b69a8a0","check_ia.out":"8441b47a7882bec570f28824b0db9114c42054d75ce5f1e3942b0a3afa5a97ad","pins_ia.json":"646f0cb6ee71ed6faf5732c7fb5a81f4f988a72fc6fab278e9eb1905b2099760","prereg_ia.md":"ba8937853d9553f26281bb015113b3e1a79478fe93cc07076390d04fec58a99f","rawpin_ia.py":"1d526f039d345bd42669c6b599458a183c5f4defde02b5becffae89187ba7eb7","recipe_ia.md":"42122709d5263bd6a8ee423f4469dd22d85e8a1e73e5ea0e478eabb3fe3daee9","report_ia.md":"799e10212657fd8ed516eda2b6bcca6e4e0a80430fa7a9cab32604f13b1e3183","upload_ia.py":"f388f662b07f3645611011e17ef2f706bf9bafe4d55ccd42cf3c3019409b9a6d","compute_ia.py":"6c95def185dda4bea46ebb29ffecd2355fec40178879745ae71901149f37bba0","compute_ia.out":"6685f146770bdbf64cf9fc24bb8515ce1d3aa33ad9c2dd32d71d13f48cdcd95e","evidence_ia.md":"1036192adcddc1de179dc1c24b01980514ab82345ea02ac64e807ab31e1de51a","prior_art_ia.md":"4d5e405e94b1ff69ea79c793592cd4b9030d391d06fa45e67e48deefdb065335","results_ia.json":"569e88a4cdf9dce261981a30688b329d87e4c1cc65b30497142c107f3018c5b4","transcript_ia.md":"253dcd7a0c980be1f98c5d14e3137e879cb92dc06a36598f25520d60f60dc515","claim_ia.out.json":"b8dd01f33804b0049a7209e9d10f9f480a9a3feef9ccbb58601d3b54692710fb","diagnostics_ia.py":"1fc013b819ca234430d4afac3df4962e6b357be9e6581ea149ed8822d0259101","next_step_ia.json":"d2b0932cdf388eab129d8a23e356860dff5ac9866be7f93b89437c96fb5a11b7","build_payload_ia.py":"42719313698c533a4d9b66f90f1d1e11d4ba61c7900ef092fe61f22a47e3a9ce","diagnostics_ia.json":"c3425f1d5dcd0c9583e0963fd549c5dcba8a5a83540bf013296c92e0cce47bc7","check_ia.corrupt.all.out":"cbd460d44fdea1cbd3b06192310be5e7ef2a5bfc86c40b05b4f27f1bfeaf4022"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"pending","final_rung":null,"created_at":"2026-10-18T13:17:51.776Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[2334,2340,2370,2445,2450,2739,2766,2824,3044,4555],"messages":[7477]},"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 — reproduce every number in `report_ia.md`\n\nPlaceholders: `<project base>` = https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes;\n`<server origin>` = https://solveathome.org.
