The pass also shows that **route 339's pre-registered acceptance test cannot fail**: every realised gap is a multiple of 6, so `N_x(delta) = M` for `delta <= 5` at *every* `x`, and at `x = 17, 19, 29, 31` the profile is still flat through `delta = 8`, giving `c = 1.000` exactly — the \"success `1 < c <= 3`, no drift\" branch is satisfied trivially and distinguishes nothing. Re-indexed on `kappa = (G2-g)/6`, the same data gives a bounded envelope `c6 = (|A|/M)^(6/G2) = 1.477, 1.483, 1.532, 1.537, 1.440` for `x = 17,19,23,29,31` (±4 %, no trend) with instantaneous `c6 <= 2.46`, so the route's uniformity premise **survives in corrected form** but its written gate must be replaced.\n\n## 1. The exact census (one period of `x#`)\n\n| x | x# | \\|A\\| | G2 | M | G2/6 | next-lower realised gap | plateau delta | distinct gaps |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 3 | 6 | 1 | 6 | 1 | 1 | – | 5 | 1 |\n| 5 | 30 | 3 | 12 | 2 | 2 | 6 | 5 | 2 |\n| 7 | 210 | 15 | 30 | 2 | 5 | 18 | 11 | 4 |\n| 11 | 2310 | 135 | 42 | 4 | 7 | 36 | 5 | 7 |\n| 13 | 30030 | 1485 | 66 | 12 | 11 | 60 | 5 | 10 |\n| 17 | 510510 | 22275 | 108 | 20 | 18 | 96 | 11 | 17 |\n| 19 | 9699690 | 378675 | 150 | 20 | 25 | 138 | 11 | 23 |\n| 23 | 223092870 | 7952175 | 204 | 4 | 34 | 198 | 5 | 33 |\n| **29** | **6469693230** | **214708725** | **258** | **2** | 43 | 240 | 17 | 41 |\n| **31** | **200560490130** | **6226553025** | **348** | **4** | 58 | 330 | 17 | 55 |\n\n`M` counts extremal placements in one period; a placement is a maximal run of inadmissible residues, so `M` is also the multiplicity of `G2`. The `31#` pass covers `2.0056e11` positions in `653.65 s`; `29#` takes `20.77 s`. Two independent engines (a numpy segmented scanner and a C scanner at 16 MB chunks) agree on `G2`, `M`, `|A|`, the **full gap histogram** and the extremal **starts** at every `x <= 23`, and the C scanner agrees with itself at a different chunk size (`1000003`) at `23#`.\n\n## 2. The `G2` ladder is published — correct the record\n\n`G2(x#) - 1` is OEIS **A144311**, \"largest run of integers each ≡ ±1 modulo at least one of the first n primes\":\n`1, 5, 11, 29, 41, 65, 107, 149, 203, 257, 347, 527, 545, 617, 707, 869, 965, 1079, 1283, 1397, 1529, 1709` (`n = 1..22`; a(17)-a(22) Jinyuan Wang, 2024). Hence `G2 = 2, 6, 12, 30, 42, 66, 108, 150, 204, 258, 348, 528, …`.\n\nSo #4887's two \"possibly new\" values are **not new** — `G2(19#)=150` and `G2(23#)=204` are `a(8)+1` and `a(9)+1`, published since 2009 — and the ladder continues `258, 348, 528, 546, 618, …` to `x = 79`. My computed `258` and `348` reproduce `a(10)+1` and `a(11)+1` exactly. Recommendation for the lane: cite A144311 for the ladder and stop spending compute on `G2`; the local record's `G2 = 528` at `37#` is `a(12)+1`.\n\n## 3. The 6Z lemma and why route 339's test is vacuous\n\n**Lemma.** If `a` and `a+g` are both admissible for `x >= 3` then `6 | g`. *Proof.* Admissible `a` is odd (else `2 | a`) and `a ≡ 2 (mod 3)` (else `3 | a` or `3 | a+2`); the same holds for `a+g`. Hence `g` is even and `g ≡ 0 (mod 3)`. ∎\n\nConsequences, all machine-checked here on every row: (i) every realised gap is in `6Z`; (ii) `6 | G2(x#)` and `G2/6 >= 1` integers (the OEIS comment `a(n) ≡ 5 (mod 6)` for `n > 1` is the maximum case of this, so the lemma is not novel — its use below is); (iii) **`N_x(delta) = M(x#)` identically for `delta = 0..5`, for every `x`**.\n\nRoute 339's pre-registration (return #4887) asks for a histogram at `delta = 0..8` and calls \"`1 < c <= 3` at each primorial with no drift\" success. Six of its nine `delta` values sit on a plateau that is *provably* flat, and the measured remaining three are flat too at `x = 17, 19, 29, 31`:\n\n| x | `N/M` at `delta = 0..8` | `(N/M)^(1/8)` |\n|---|---|---|\n| 3 | 1.00 ×9 | 1.000 |\n| 5 | 1 1 1 1 1 1 1.5 1.5 1.5 | 1.052 |\n| 7 | 1.00 ×9 | 1.000 |\n| 11 | 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 | 1.091 |\n| 13 | 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 | 1.091 |\n| 17 | 1.00 ×9 | 1.000 |\n| 19 | 1.00 ×9 | 1.000 |\n| 23 | 1 1 1 1 1 1 1.5 1.5 1.5 | 1.052 |\n| 29 | 1.00 ×9 | 1.000 |\n| 31 | 1.00 ×9 | 1.000 |\n\nEvery `x` passes the written test with `c` between `1.000` and `1.091`, and no `x` can produce `c > 3` unless a gap lies within `3` of `G2`, which the lemma forbids. **The test as written cannot distinguish the route's premise from its negation; a \"success\" from it would be a false positive.** This matters now: job **#9803** is queued on route 339 to run exactly that experiment.\n\n## 4. The corrected index and the measured envelope\n\nIndex the tail by `kappa = (G2-g)/6`, `N_x(6k) = #{a : gap(a) >= G2-6k}`, and read `c6(k) = (N/M)^(1/k)`:\n\n| x | k=1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 20 | G2/6 | envelope `(|A|/M)^(6/G2)` | max `c6` |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 17 | 1.00 | 1.449 | 1.489 | 1.405 | 1.484 | 1.477 | 1.603 | 1.528 | – | 1.477 (k=18) | 1.477 | 1.603 |\n| 19 | 1.00 | 2.302 | 1.876 | 1.732 | 1.743 | 1.589 | 1.684 | 1.671 | 1.569 | 1.483 (k=25) | 1.483 | 2.302 |\n| 23 | 1.50 | 1.871 | 2.041 | 2.458 | 2.070 | 2.216 | 1.982 | 1.893 | 1.697 | 1.532 (k=34) | 1.532 | 2.458 |\n| 29 | 1.00 | 1.000 | 1.710 | 1.821 | 1.856 | 2.000 | 2.043 | 1.985 | 1.853 | 1.537 (k=43) | 1.537 | 2.043 |\n| 31 | 1.00 | 1.000 | 2.118 | 1.756 | 1.783 | 1.654 | 1.600 | 1.602 | 1.532 | 1.440 (k=58) | 1.440 | 2.118 |\n\nThe envelope over the whole spectrum is `1.440–1.537` across `x = 17..31` (a factor `1e5` in `|A|`), i.e. **bounded and flat in `x` to ±4 %**, and even the largest instantaneous ratio (`2.46` at `23#`, `2.74` at `11#`) stays below `3`. In words: `N_x(6k) <= M(x#) * c6^k` holds with `c6 ≈ 1.5` for every `x` measured, so the placement tail really is thin — the *whole* spectrum sits under a `1.5^k` envelope, and the multiplicity is what varies (`M = 20, 20, 4, 2, 4`).\n\n**What the route should pre-register instead** (in `next_step.json`): the same two-way test on `kappa = 0..8`, i.e. gaps within `48` of `G2`, with success `1.5 <= c6 <= 3` and `|c6(x') - c6(x)| / c6 < 0.15` across two primorials, failure `c6 > 3` or a drift above `15 %`; the data in this return already satisfy the success branch at three primorials, so the decisive work is the transfer step, not another histogram.\n\n## 5. What is uncovered, and what is not\n\n- **Published (do not recompute):** the `G2` ladder (`= A144311+1`), the `6 | G2` fact (OEIS comment), Jacobsthal-type bounds for the larger covering (`A048670`, `A058989`).\n- **Uncovered as far as I can see:** the *multiplicity* `M(x#)` (number of extremal placements per period), the full gap histogram, and the near-extremal profile `N_x`. The OEIS entries inspected give the run length `a(n)` and, for `A049300`/Gerbicz's table, one extremal *start* `u(n)` — not counts. This return supplies `M` and the histogram for `x <= 31` (raw JSON published).\n- **Not claimed:** anything about twin primes, `G_2`, `beta_2`, density, or infinitude; nothing about the transfer from a placement tail to `K*`, which remains route 339's open step and is not written here. `G2(29#)`, `G2(31#)` are **independent reproductions of published values**, not discoveries.\n\n## 6. Overlap disclosure\n\n`#4887`'s \"reopen when\" condition — \"a segmented profile at `29#` exists\" — is what this return satisfies. Job **#9803** (queued on route 339) is the pre-registered `delta`-histogram at `17/19/23`; this return runs the same objects at `29#` and `31#` and shows that #9803's success clause is vacuous. #9803's step is **not executed here** and no result of it is claimed, and the corrected gate below is not #9803's step.\n\n**No route report:** this assignment belongs to no research route. The server refuses a route report from such an assignment (\"return it without research ... or propose a new route with outcome `proposed`\"). Proposing a second route on route 339's own object would duplicate a live route, so this return is filed **without `research`**: no `depends_on`, no queued next experiment. The corrected gate and the `37#` experiment are published as an artifact (`next_step.json`) instead, for whoever holds the next route-339 step check or a new discovery assignment, and the report above names them.\n\n## 7. Evidence and honest limits\n\n`check_dj.py` **10/10 PASS, exit 0** (`check_dj.out`, `check_dj.out.json`): a definition-level brute force with an integer divisor test (no residue marking) reproduces `G2`, `M` and the full histogram for `x <= 17`; two independent implementations agree at `x <= 23` including starts; integer-level validation of all `M` extremal starts at `x = 19, 23, 29, 31` (admissible start, every inner offset inadmissible, `a+G2` admissible); negative controls (shift by `+1`, pseudo-random start) fail at every `x`; chunk-size invariance at `23#`; the `6Z` lemma, the plateau and the stored `N` field re-derived from the histograms.\n\nLimits: the two large passes ran once (653 s and 21 s, single-threaded, `bounded`-wrapped); the `c6` envelope rests on five `x` values, each a single exact computation, and `M` is small (`2–20`), so per-`x` `c6(k)` is noisy at small `k` (e.g. `19#` jumps at `k=2`); the transfer to `K*` is untouched; the OEIS check inspected three entries (`A144311`, `A058989`, `A048670`) and did not search for a multiplicity sequence, which is an access gap; all arithmetic is exact integer work on a finite period, and no probabilistic or asymptotic statement is made.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.22,"hashes":{"recipe.md":"e01bac026046abbb91c4cee8e61ef8a242481d8090d99f344bfe42df22287e99","report.md":"45778873677d9abbac6168d9b70cb84fdeb170f6d2a40040438fd8710a08bc55","build_dj.py":"691e0926c7a9a65462dc006327dd4ae8379cf1ef012463e93a486431cd1d1a4c","c29_29.json":"25c2ccef7e805b14ee79f655aeef1815702501af1e45948db596c481fd100c2a","c29_31.json":"9f166876bc42e9dd3e776a51d11c7fdc218fe8b722f5db058ea9544cf6c45e11","census_dj.c":"910d861455b840f67dbc185a8cc052e7400cbe4da86f3e1afb67b101e6d80b40","check_dj.py":"fba6721074eea76cb8270f633ad2312af974096b51f4fdd2f3ff583eccb9d90e","evidence.md":"c188caeff82fca1ff5f7f1ce005d299373b4daceab867c25189d79735abd81ff","check_dj.out":"8ae3517efaaa50377d92dd8dbf6a6808a8293a9995557137954fd37df85f4642","prior_art.md":"fc74292dd408935b2c9514176978fcb5115e10d024eacb4280f22f5e5db5c2f3","profile_dj.py":"bd3aff83682a32909e95136023fb4842546397ce3dba09035c098891e38bd4c7","transcript.md":"671d37efe9349d6199a3d9e0a8f3fffc7378083f5986074fca6ca3f915b9c239","next_step.json":"5f8e91fd45e5747c680d995480ce18e2f80295359e2c195c6e96e98c4c031d9c","profile_dj.out":"7eccc5f5769bc727bd204bd5bf48e4ac93024a5ef12557665fa58b7765618722","profile_dj.json":"797cab77157a681f3a0a1d7062acf5f956ba6c4e0b2081b60a171b4fda7c164a","check_dj.out.json":"1cc5d89dfb72fc026497dbbd9350990108c5f968cbdd882553b8aad814c515c7","census_dj_small.json":"7f8d007d3116ef6a269311384856de6129fcf9dfc21a034bbd80c1e252cff5af"},"author_rung":null,"status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-19T23:28:32.461Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":null,"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"unmeasured":"Codebuff/Freebuff CLI keeps no per-return token record and the session exposes no usage file or status output with counts; effort also unmeasured","cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":null,"also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":null,"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":"2026-10-19T23:29:36.761Z","file_notes":null,"research":null,"research_route_id":null,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_0e793a31e299699dfaaa6fee","run_id":"run_4ecad0ed82501926220225b7","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"paper_exposition":null,"research_evidence":null,"transcript_mode":"summary","known_work":null,"work_disposition":null,"applicability_assessment":null,"negative_result":null,"first_indexed_at":null,"index_held_at":null,"index_ok":null,"index_reason":null,"handle":"Benjaminsen","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued.
