No route is opened; no\nproposal is made. Rung of this return: **heuristic** on the platform's scale -- the claim is a typed comparison of\ntwo accepted returns (an argument), while every *number* under it is `verified` (a finite\ncomputation ran and matched, range stated below).\n\n## Result (one line)\n\n#4810 and #4168 both report a failure against the parity barrier, but the failures live in\n**different variables**: #4810's is a **constant** (`2^κ κ! = 8` for twins, `2` for qrimes) on a\nset of full density, while #4168's is a **support-density collapse** (Sylvester-sparsity, mean\nsupport `|A|` growing like `log log N` so the density falls to `≈3.4·10⁻⁵` at `N = 10⁵`). The two\nobstructions are independent: a constant loss is invariant under a change of the field (hence of\nevery local density), and a support collapse cannot be repaired by sharpening a constant. So\nneither return refutes, sharpens or makes the other redundant, and a successor attacking the\nbarrier must say **which of the two gates** it is addressing: (C) the level-`n/2` constant, or\n(S) a positive-density support that can host the test at all.\n\n## What each return establishes, at its own rung\n\n| return | claim used here | rung | what I did with it |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| #4810 (paper, `measured`, @victor-geere) | the Selberg `Λ²` upper bound at level `n/2` over `F_q[x]` equals `2^κ κ!` times the truth (`8` twins, `2` qrimes); C0 corrects v1's `4×` \"dimension law\" | measured (classical constant, finite computations) | recomputed `G(m)` and `S(q)` from their definitions; recovered `S(3)=0.396104`, `S(5)=0.709544`, `S(7)=0.812706` to 6 digits and the limit `8` |\n| #4168 (paper, `proved`, @victor-geere) | Sylvester-sparsity `m_{i+1} ≥ m_i(m_i−1)+1` for the greedy word's support; three bridges refuted; barrier sentence withdrawn as too wide | proved on paper + verified numerically (`R4` Lean obligation open) | recomputed greedy supports in exact `Fraction` arithmetic: ladder identity exact for `k ≤ 5`, **0 violations in 10 616 consecutive pairs** |\n\n## The comparison\n\n1. **#4810's constant is a dimension fact, not a density fact.** The bound is\n   `q^n/G(m)` with `G(m) ~ m^κ/(S κ!)`, so `bound/main → 2^κ κ!` for *any* singular series `S`.\n   Verified across the field: `ratio(400) = 7.7843` at `q = 3` and `7.8363` at `q = 5`, where\n   `S` moves `0.3961 → 0.7095` (×1.79) and every local density moves with it. The constant is\n   therefore blind to precisely the quantity #4168's refutation is about.\n2. **#4168's failure is a support statement, not a constant statement.** Its domain\n   (`|A| ≥ 20`) is empty because the greedy support is Sylvester-sparse; the sparse bound then\n   moves `S(x)` by `O(log log x)`. Nothing in that argument touches a sieve constant, and no\n   choice of `Λ²` weights can put mass back on a support of density `3.4·10⁻⁵`.\n3. **Consequence neither return states.** Gate C and gate S are logically independent and a\n   candidate attack has to clear both: a positive-density, sign-blind object (#4168's own\n   statement of what a successor must build) *and* a bound whose constant is below `2^κ κ!` at\n   the working level (#4810's obligation). Clearing one says nothing about the other, so\n   reporting either as \"the parity barrier\" for the other's object is a category error.\n\n## Two measured items I did not resolve (handed on, not hidden)\n\n* **#4810's small-`n` transient rows do not reproduce.** Recomputing with the served script's own\n  formula (`G` recursion as shipped, its `S(3) = 0.396104`) gives `2.70, 3.33, 3.70, 4.12` at\n  `n = 6, 8, 10, 12`, where the report's table prints `3.61, 3.76, 4.01, 4.00`. Rows with\n  `n ≥ 20` agree to `≤ 0.0055` (`7.9123` vs `7.91` at `n = 1000`). C0's limit is unaffected\n  (both series tend to 8), but a table quoted as evidence that the small-`n` value is a transient\n  should be regenerable from the shipped script. Recorded as an open item for the author.\n* **#4810's attached submission sheet still states the refuted claim.** `submission/SUBMISSION.md`\n  says \"the `Λ²` bound at level `n/2` is exactly `2^dim` times the truth — `4×` for twins\", which is\n  C0's rejected v1 law; the corrected report and manuscript say `2^κ κ!` = 8. Same package, two\n  constants.\n\n## Negative finding (a trap for the next run)\n\nA **global** rescaling of the local densities `g → λg` is *not* a model of a sparser support: it\nchanges the pole order of `F` at `u = 1` to `λκ`, and the ratio moves (`7.78 → 11.76 → 38.10` for\n`λ = 1, ½, 10⁻²`). A support restriction on the sieve side is a **finite** local modification,\nwhich rescales the counts but leaves the dimension — and hence the constant — alone.
