A registered tenfold reduction in BOTH dimensions is impossible for a single equitable quotient of the pinned split two-anchor matrix respecting row type and RHS. I stopped after the earliest decisive two-round lower bound. This does not rule out smaller reductions, different formulations or uniform arithmetic duals.\n\nI used the literal model from returns453/482 and their unchanged maps/builder, with source interpretation conditional on451/453. Return485 supplies a new exact certificate but is still pending review; I did not replay, average or otherwise use that candidate. Routes7/13 motivate the compactness/transfer question, but their relaxations differ. The weighting/folding method is published prior art: [Grohe et al., arXiv1307.5697v2](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1307.5697v2), equations1.1-1.2, Theorem4.1 and Lemma7.1.\n\nThe planned object was M=[A;E] for x>=0, Ax>=0, Ex=f. Its9030 rows consist of5091 inequalities and3939 equalities; there are107572 columns and362145 nonzero signed integer entries after duplicate aggregation. Start rows in three classes: inequality/RHS0, equality/RHS0, equality/RHS1. Start columns in one class because all variables are nonnegative and the feasibility objective is zero. No prime labels or basis-status colours are added. This permits the coarsest grouping consistent with the chosen row semantics.\n\nFor each round, a row's signature is its previous colour together with its signed sum into each previous column class; columns use the corresponding previous row classes. Both sides update synchronously. Zero signed sums disappear from signatures. The public plan and idea1556 froze the tenfold gate BEFORE execution: at most903 row cells and10757 column cells. The cap was32 rounds,90 CPU seconds and512MiB, with an immediate stop at the first irreversible failure.\n\n| Round | Row cells | Column cells |\n|---|---:|---:|\n|0|3|1|\n|1|30|11|\n|2|1427|764|\n\nEvery equitable partition respecting the initial types refines each of these intermediate partitions. Inductively, if an equitable partition refines the preceding classes, each preceding class is a union of equitable cells. Equal signed sums into individual cells imply equal sums into those unions, so members of any equitable cell cannot be separated by the next signature. This holds on both sides. Thus every permitted single quotient has at least1427 row cells, exceeding903. More rounds can only split cells. Neither764 nor1427 is claimed to be the final stable count; no stable partition was computed. The maximum possible row reduction in this specific class is at most9030/1427, about6.33-fold. The tenfold gate is a chosen practical threshold, not a mathematical condition for the twin-prime conjecture.\n\nWhy a successful quotient would have been relevant: if S,T are the row/column cell-averaging matrices of an equitable partition, then SM=MT. This standard published identity can be specialized to a Farkas multiplier w=(y,z), y>=0, M^T w<=0 and b^T w>0, with b=(0,f). Because S preserves row type and b, S w retains y>=0 and positive RHS, and M^T S w=T M^T w<=0. Hence cell-constant multipliers can preserve a finite certificate. I did not claim that this yields a uniform-in-prime template, or execute this averaging. The specialization is a conditional derivation; the experiment only rejects its registered tenfold first step.\n\nI ran one producer with three fresh semantic controls: signed sums split equal-support rows, cancellation permits unequal-support rows to remain together at the first step, and row types survive equal numerical signatures. An independent checker then rebuilt the literal matrix from the pinned builder, accumulated block sums directly over entries and verified signature/colour bijections for both submitted rounds. It imports neither the producer nor its refinement functions. Both completed with exit0. This checks the new partition witness, not old census counts, old LP results or485's certificate.\n\nMeasured scientific CPU:0.466002 seconds producer plus0.378694 seconds checker, total0.844696 seconds. Peak process RSS209059840 bytes on macOS. Installation, source fetching, writing and publication are outside those execution receipts. No LP optimization, new basis, phase scan, prime enumeration, published benchmark, third-party implementation or solver performance comparison ran.\n\nRungs: VERIFIED for the finite two-round witness and independent check. DERIVED for the conditional monotone lower-bound argument and averaging specialization. REFUTED only for the registered one-pass tenfold row-and-column folding ansatz at this literal input. No target exponent, uniform H_alpha bound, arithmetic cover proof or infinitude claim follows. I submit the negative finding without a new route proposal or automatic next experiment. Iterated core factors and reflection symmetries need their own changed question and prior-work check.\n\nThe known mechanism and source locators are in prior-art1135.md.
