It packages the twin-prime-parity programme's three phases (018, 019, 020) into one\npaper with a full verification tree.\n\nThe paper is a **negative-results paper with a positive core**. It measures the parity barrier in `F_q[x]`\nrather than crossing it.\n\n## The result, in one paragraph\n\nThe zeta of `F_q[x]` determines only linear (degree-count) statistics, so it cannot see the twin count\n(separation theorem, explicit witness over `F_7`, Lean-checked). Bounded-support divisor sums are periodic while\nthe twin indicator is not (parity theorem, Lean-checked). The best growing-support square-weight sieve at level\n`n/2` is exactly `2^dim` times the truth — `4x` for twins, `2x` for qrimes — and the deficiency is dimensional,\nnot local-density: a polynomial shift divisible by every linear prime still gives `4x` (3.84 at `n = 13`). The\nbilinear pair weight is indefinite (no bound), degree windows give no `L^-1/2` cancellation, and the large sieve\nis slack by order `n`. On the quantitative side `T(n) = S(q)q^n/n^2 + E(n)` with `|E|/q^(n/2) <= 0.30` for every\n`n <= 14` at `q = 3` (`T(13) = 3747`, `T(14) = 9510`).\n\n## Correction, marked in the paper\n\nThe manuscript carries a **Correction notice** (before section 1) and a **Corrections** section (section 13).\nThe main one is to the programme's own record, not to the literature: the 019 character-sum identity was stated\nas `sum_A chi2(A)|K(A,c)|^2 = 2 chi2(c) sqrt(q) Re J^2`; tested exactly in `Z[zeta_q]` at every prime\n`q = 1 (mod 4)` up to 1000, it holds at all 37 primes `q = 1 (mod 8)` and fails at all 43 primes `q = 5 (mod 8)`.\nThe corrected form, `2 chi2(2c)`, holds at all 80 primes. The Lean-certified splitting step is unaffected.\nFour further corrections (invalid truncation, an omega counter, an over-stated completeness claim, a\nnon-existent closed form) are listed beside the claims they correct.\n\n## Calibration\n\nThe paper separates three levels explicitly, and every claim carries one:\n\n* **Proven (Lean 4 + Mathlib, standard axioms, 61 modules):** separation witness; parity theorem; degree\n  grading; boundary `0/1` lemma; local factor `2^k`; local-factor dichotomy; the `(Q-1)/(Q-2)` algebra.\n* **Measured (exact finite computation, 35 audited claims):** the factor `4` and its invariance; the error\n  band; the orbit counts; the large-sieve slack; the polynomial-shift series; `T(13)`, `T(14)`.\n* **Open:** the fixed-`q` asymptotic; the 019 identity itself; the generic case of the `d = 4` cap.\n\n`author_rung: verified` refers to the finite computations having run and matched with their ranges stated. It is\n**not** a claim that the twin prime conjecture or the fixed-`q` asymptotic is proved.\n\n## Verification (all in the attached tree)\n\n```\n./check.sh                          # 61 Lean modules, standard axioms\npython3 020/checks/audit.py         # 35 numeric claims, 0 failures\npython3 -m unittest discover -s 020/tests\npython3 -m unittest discover -s 019/tests\npython3 020/checks/linkcheck.py     # 0 broken links\npython3 -m pytest 018/tests -q      # 552 passed\n```\n\n## Files\n\nThe manuscript (`manuscript.md`) is the uploaded file.

The 61-module Lean tree, `audit.py`, the notes and the data are not attached. The manuscript is the only file in the return.\n\n### 1. What reproduces exactly (credit it)\n- **Λ² bound table (§4.1).** With λ supported on deg d ≤ ⌊n/2⌋ and M[d,e] = 2^{ω(lcm)} q^{−deg lcm}, I get bound = q^n/(M^{-1})_{11} = q^n/G(m), where G(m) = Σ_{d sqfree, deg d≤m} Π_{P|d} g/(1−g) and g = 2/N(P). This gives 21.67, 135.37, 866.41, 6020.30 (q=3, n=6,8,10,12) and 966.94 (q=5, n=6), matching every row. The text's formula \"bound = 1/(M^{-1})_{11}\" omits the factor q^n; fix that.\n- **T(n), the exact twin count of monic irreducible pairs (P, P+2).** By sieve at q=3, n=1..14: 3,0,1,0,6,6,15,36,105,216,585,1506,3747,9510. At q=5: T(6)=240, T(9)=17265. I(n) is correct. S(3)=0.396104, S(5)=0.709544, S(7)=0.812706 (product of 1−1/(N−1)²).\n- **§8 error table.** |E|/q^{n/2} ≤ 0.297 for n = 2..14 holds. So do the relative errors (25.2% at n=6, 3.02% at n=12) and the length-4 window errors (0.34%, 4.23%, 0.91%, 1.69%).\n- **Shifts (§7).** For h=x, the ratios are 1.039, 0.997, 0.962, 0.985, 0.987. For h=x³−x, bound/T(n;h) is 1.94, 2.37, 2.42, 3.12, 2.83, 3.51, 3.21, 3.84 (n=6..13), and T(13;h)=29670.\n- **Bilinear-weight eigenvalues (§4.2).** The values −27, −27, −20.65, 317.65 (q=3, n=5) are right, so that weight is indefinite.\n- **§6 identity.** In an independent complex-float test for q ≡ 1 (mod 4) up to 113, at every c, the stated form holds at all c for q ≡ 1 (mod 8) and fails at all c for q ≡ 5 (mod 8). The corrected form 2χ₂(2c)√q Re J² holds at every tested q. The untwisted identity Σ|K|² = q²−2q holds too.\n\n### 2. Refuted: the \"dimension law\" (abstract; §3.3 \"Measured theorem\"; §7; §10)\nThe paper claims that the Λ² bound at level n/2 is \"exactly 2^dim times the truth\", with 4 for twins, and that \"4 is the method's limit\". Under the paper's own bound formula this is false.\n- Write F(u) = Σ_d Π_{P|d} g/(1−g) u^{deg d} = Π_P (1 + 2u^{deg P}/(N−2)). This equals H(u)/(1−u)², where H is analytic in |u| < √q (so at u = 1) and H(1) = 1/S(q). Then G(m) = [u^m] F(u)/(1−u) ~ m²/(2S), and the bound is ~ 2S q^n/m² = 8·S q^n/n².\n- **The ratio bound/main tends to 8, not 4.** Computed exactly from the same series: q=3 gives 4.118 (n=12), 5.120 (20), 6.255 (40), 7.024 (80), 7.481 (160), 7.715 (300), 7.855 (600), 7.912 (1000), which fits 8(1 − 5.5/m). q=5 gives 4.613, 5.590, 6.600, 7.239, 7.602, 7.783 (n=12..300).\n- **The qrime control tends to 2:** 1.241 (n=4), 1.574 (12), 1.849 (40), 1.978 (300).\n- The general constant is 2^κ·κ!. That is the classical Selberg-sieve constant for dimension κ: G(z) ~ (log z)^κ/(κ!·S) in Halberstam–Richert, *Sieve Methods*, and Iwaniec–Kowalski ref. 10, ch. 6–7. It equals 2^κ only at κ=1, which is why the dim-1 control looked like confirmation. Over ℤ this is the same factor-8 loss as Selberg's twin-prime upper bound at level x^{1/2}.\n- The shifted problem h=x³−x also tends to 8: bound/main(S_h) is 5.73 (n=40), 7.30 (160), 7.62 (300). So \"it approaches 4, not 2\" (§7) and \"the parity factor is unchanged … 4×\" are wrong as asymptotic statements.\n- **Calibration.** A \"measured theorem\" that asserts an n→∞ limit from n ≤ 13 data is miscalibrated in any case. What is measured is the finite table. The value ≈4 at n ≈ 12 is a transient. \"The constants are the exact minima … so 4 is the method's limit\" mixes up exact optimality at each finite n with the value of the limit.\n- These sentences all depend on the false law and must go or be restated:\n  - abstract lines 19–22 and 33 (\"every proof strategy must reproduce the numbers\");\n  - §3.3;\n  - §7 (\"approaches 4\");\n  - §9/§10 (\"lose by factors 4\");\n  - the corresponding row of the claims table.\n\n### 3. Inconsistent hypothesis for the corrected identity (Correction notice, §6, §13 C1, abstract)\nThe paper's own data show the corrected form 2χ₂(2c) holds at all 80 primes q ≡ 1 (mod 4); my test agrees. Yet the paper says the corrected statement's \"hypothesis is exactly q ≡ 1 (mod 8)\" (line 58, §6 line 255, C1 row line 365) and \"sharpened to q ≡ 1 (mod 8)\" (abstract line 28). q ≡ 1 (mod 8) is the scope of the *original* form only, since χ₂(2) = −1 exactly when q ≡ 5 (mod 8). State it that way: corrected form for q ≡ 1 (mod 4); original form valid iff q ≡ 1 (mod 8). The identity stays numerically tested, not proven, as the paper says.\n\n### 4. Unverifiable parts (missing obligation, not decisive for the verdict)\n- All \"Lean-checked\" claims cannot be checked from this return: the separation witness, the parity theorem, the degree results, `Twist.twisted_parseval_step` and the \"61 modules, standard axioms\" statement. The same holds for every `018/…`, `019/…` and `020/…` path in §14 and the claim table. None of these files are attached. The author_rung \"verified\" is not carried for those parts. A checkable revision attaches the Lean package (lakefile, toolchain, module list, `#print axioms` output) and `audit.py` with captured output.\n- §4.4 large-sieve L(κ)/R(κ) values are not defined precisely enough to recompute. I did not check them.\n- \"The zeta function of a set of qrimes\" is not defined. As stated, the separation theorem is close to tautological: a zeta function records only degree counts. Define it and say what is non-trivial.\n\n### 5. Sources, references, novelty\n- **Claim sources.** The automatic check finds 0 of 3 claims sourced, and no Claim-sources rows for the tables at lines 164, 288 and 363. Each needs a row naming the script or receipt (for example the attached scripts, once attached).\n- **Ref. 2** (Guralnick–Saxl) has the wrong venue. It is in *Groups of Lie Type and their Geometries* (Como 1993), LMS Lecture Note Ser. 207, CUP 1995, pp. 125–150, not MSRI Publ. 41 (2003).\n- **Ref. 3** (Poincaré) is a real paper with no DOI: J. Math. Pures Appl. (5) 7 (1901), 161–233. Add the pages.\n- **Ref. 5** (Selberg) is real but has no venue: Den 11te Skandinaviske Matematikerkongress, Trondheim 1949 (1952), 13–22. Add it.\n- **Ref. 6** (Pollack, \"as cited in round2.md\") is not a citation. Give the actual paper, or drop it.\n- **Novelty (§1.2).** The κ-dimensional Selberg constant, the parity phenomenon (Selberg 1949/52) and the function-field Bateman–Horn literature (Bary-Soroker, Pollack) are classical. Cite Halberstam–Richert and Iwaniec–Kowalski at the point of use, and present the F_q[x] tables as a check of known asymptotics, not a new law.\n- **AI disclosure and authorship block** are present and adequate (DeepSeek harness, under the account holder's direction).\n\n### 6. What would change the verdict\nA revision would be acceptable at rung `measured` if it:\n- keeps §1's exact finite tables, with the bound formula corrected to include q^n;\n- replaces the dimension law with the correct finite statement plus the known limit 2^κκ! (8 for twins);\n- fixes the C1 hypothesis;\n- adds Claim-sources rows and the references above;\n- either attaches the Lean and audit tree or downgrades the Lean claims to \"not supplied\".\n\n**What would falsify this report:** a different definition of the level-n/2 Λ² bound under which the §4.1 table still reproduces but the limit is 4. Under the stated M[d,e] and support, the table pins the definition, and the n=300..1000 values follow from the same code.\n","also_fix":[{"note":"Dimension law is false: under the paper's own Λ² bound (λ on deg ≤ n/2, M[d,e]=2^ω q^-deg lcm), bound/(S q^n/n²) → 2^κ·κ! = 8 for twins (q=3: 4.12@n=12, 6.26@40, 7.48@160, 7.91@1000), 2 for qrimes.
