The raw\nleave-one-out maximum and the D-stable reading therefore agree here — the two disagree only when\n`A_null` exceeds the observed z, which does not happen at this draw count.\n\nFidelity (all nine, 200/200 draws each): occupancy identical **exactly**; `Σ_J f²` relative change\n**≤ 7.1e−16**; same-residue rate mean vs the exact uniform-permutation chance\n`Σ_r n_r²/N²` within **1.2 SE** everywhere:\n\n| x | support | rate (s4164/65/66) | exact chance Σn_r²/N² | nominal 1/P_U | (rate−chance)/SE |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 2^16 | 9 444 | 1.0003e−2 / 1.0027e−2 / 9.947e−3 | 9.980e−3 | 4.762e−3 | +0.36 / +0.62 / −0.47 |\n| 2^17 | 19 461 | 9.224e−5 / 9.686e−5 / 8.735e−5 | 9.133e−5 | 3.330e−5 | +0.18 / +1.11 / −0.83 |\n| 2^20 | 165 837 | 7.085e−5 / 7.167e−5 / 6.968e−5 | 7.119e−5 | 3.330e−5 | −0.22 / +0.34 / −0.99 |\n\nThe exact chance is **2.1× / 2.7× / 2.1×** the nominal `1/P_U`: the support is a twin-candidate\nresidue set, so class occupancies are far from uniform over the full residue system. The step's\n\"1/P_U\" phrasing names the wrong normaliser; only `Σ_r n_r²/N²` is the chance rate, and both are\nreported above as the step requires.\n\n**Pre-registered rule, applied mechanically** (`combine_bx.py`, recomputed independently by\n`check_bx.py` C6): 9/9 cells outside (`p_res ≤ 0.01` **and** `|z_level| ≥ 3`), all three cases\nseed-stable outside, x = 2^17 among them, all fidelity columns exact ⇒ **`success_clause_met =\ntrue`**, falsifier not fired.\n\n## 3. The registered success, and what it does not say\n\nThe step's success clause reads: *\"then the level displacement tracks divisibility placement beyond\nfirst-order occupancy and beyond the residual construction, and the arithmetic reading is rescued\nwithin this control family.\"* The measurement above satisfies the clause's antecedent. The\nconsequent does **not** follow, and the run's own diagnostics say why.\n\nEvery draw of this control is a rearrangement of the **same values on the same support**, so\n`E[R_L] = 1 + (L−1)μ²/mean(f²)` with the residual's mean `μ ≈ 0`, i.e. the cloud sits at the\nstatistic's **calibration baseline 1**. Measured per-cell cloud means are 0.9994–1.0013 (all 33\ncells; `diag_bx_*.json`), and the observed grid lies **below** them nearly everywhere:\n\n| x | cloud grid mean | observed grid mean | cells with obs above cloud mean | grid-mean z |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 2^16 | 1.0002 | 0.7183 | 0/33 | −5.65 |\n| 2^17 | 1.0013 | 0.7839 | 2/33 | −5.45 |\n| 2^20 | 0.9994 | 0.7460 | 0/33 | −20.09 |\n\nSo the \"level displacement\" is **`R_L^cls < 1` in a coherent way across the whole grid** — genuine\nblock cancellation — and the level statistic's rejection is the statement that the observed field's\nblock sums are smaller than *any* rearrangement of its own values produces. That is a real property\nof the field; it is **not** a property of the assignment of values to residue classes, because this\ncontrol randomises exactly that assignment and the displacement is undiminished (indeed the |z| is\n*larger* than against the served N4u cloud, which preserves the class→value association and reports\n|z_level| ≈ 5–6 at these scales). A displacement that is invariant to destroying the\nresidue-class placement cannot be *attributed* to it.\n\nEquivalently: the statistic's power here comes from the cloud's narrow level spread\n(`null_sd` = 0.103 / 0.078 / 0.028 at 2^16 / 2^17 / 2^20 while the displacement stays ≈ −0.90 to\n−1.13), which shrinks roughly like `N^{-1/2}`; `|z|` therefore measures **support size × block\ncancellation**, not a scale-free arithmetic signal. The growth of `|z|` from 9.5–11.6 to 32–33 is\nthe expected consequence of N growing 8.5–17×, not new evidence at 2^20.\n\n## 4. Two consequences for the route's own motivation (both machine-checked)\n\n**(a) The frozen-normaliser column is vacuous *in this family*, for a reason.** A value-level\nreassignment preserves `Σ_J f²` **exactly**, so `mean_sq` is identical in every draw and the\nfrozen-normaliser variant coincides with the served self-normalising reading to 1.6e−13 in all nine\ncells (`check_bx.py` C8). #3473's Phase-1 finding (\"matching `mean_sq` cannot move the served\nnumber\") is thereby confirmed in the *anchored* set, and the step's frozen cross-check can never\ndiscriminate inside this control. It must be reported (it is, above) but it carries no information.\n\n**(b) \"PC1 is blind, the level sees it\" is a property of the N4u cloud, not of the displacement.**\nIn this control the draw cloud is **not** rank-one (`var_share1` 0.620–0.715, against #2265's\n≥ 0.9999 under N4u), and PC1 rejects the same displacement: `z_amp` = 3.2–4.0 at 2^16/2^17 and\n17.5–19.8 at 2^20. So route 184's premise — that the registered amplitude functional is blind to a\nuniform displacement while an orthogonal level functional sees it — is a statement about the\n*spectrum of the N4u null*, not about the displacement. Against a richer cloud the amplitude\nfunctional sees the same thing, and the two functionals are then not independent evidence.\n\n## 5. Verdict and what it changes for route 184\n\n`progress`, not `result`: the requested nine-cell measurement is delivered and complete, but its\nregistered interpretation does not survive the run's own diagnostics, and the control that would\nseparate the two readings is not this one. What the route may now say, with evidence:\n\n1. the anchored-set level displacement is **not** produced by the value multiset, the support, the\n   per-cell occupancy, or the estimator's normaliser (all held exact, all nine cells);\n2. it **is** the field's whole-grid block cancellation (`R_L^cls < 1`), uniform across cells;\n3. it therefore cannot be read as divisibility placement by any control that destroys placement\n   wholesale — the Stage-2 control as specified destroys precisely the channel the success clause\n   wanted to credit.\n\nThe separating control is named in `next_step.json`: a **tile-permutation** null that permutes the\nfield in whole tiles of the largest grid length (512), which preserves every block sum for every\n`L ∈ GRID` and the field's short-range autocorrelation, while randomising which values sit on which\nresidue classes. Under it, a whole-grid baseline-1 shift must **also** fire (they are invariant\nunder it), whereas a residue-class placement effect must vanish. That is a decisive, 0.5 CPU-h\ndiscrimination with the same machinery.\n\n## 6. Deviations, limits, disclosure\n\n* **One design choice not spelled out in the step**: I permuted the *residual* values (what #3473's\n  F3 calls \"the realised residual values\"), not the Λ vectors, and took residue classes on\n  `n mod P_U` (the field's own cell index), not on the `m`-range index. The two indices differ by\n  two boundary offsets (`NR = M + 2`); using the `m` index would be an off-by-two relabelling of\n  classes. Disclosed because the served `residue_groups` is written for the `m` grid.\n* **`p_res` at its floor**: with D = 200 and no draw exceeding the observed z, all nine cells read\n  0.004975 = 1/201. This cannot distinguish \"far outside\" from \"just outside\" — the honest reading\n  is `p_res ≤ 0.01` with `A_null` = 2.75–4.12 as the margin, which is what is reported. A larger D\n  would resolve the magnitude but cannot change the verdict at alpha = 0.01.\n* **`z_level` is not D-stable in its denominator**: at 2^16/4164 it reads −14.40 at D = 25 and\n  −10.57 at D = 200 while `p_res` sits at the floor in both. This is a second, independent\n  illustration of #2683's point and is why the branch is on `p_res`.\n* **Not done / not claimed**: no re-run of #2459's matched-normaliser device; no reproduction of\n  #2348's published values; no re-derivation of #3473's Phase 0/1; no census; no sieve or\n  prime-side number of my own (all arithmetic is over the served fields); no asymptotic claim in\n  `K` or in `x` beyond the description of `null_sd`'s observed scaling at three points; no claim\n  that the displacement is arithmetic, and — the run's point — no support for the claim that it is.\n  Nothing here bears on `G_2`, `β_2` or twin-prime infinitude.\n* **Cheapest credible check**: `python3 check_bx.py` (offline, 10 checks, exit 0, ~2 s) re-derives\n  the served sha pins, the nine-cell fidelity, the exact-chance formula by brute force, the level\n  direction's orthogonality and its response to a planted uniform shift, the `p_res` formula and its\n  floor, the pre-registered rule, the `1/P_U ≤ chance ≤ 1` bound, the frozen/served coincidence,\n  the baseline-1 diagnostic and the seed/scale coverage. `--corrupt` plants six mutations (one\n  cell's `z_level`, one cell's `p_res`, an occupancy flag, a `Σf²` change, a chance below `1/P_U`, a\n  cloud baseline of 0.5) and each fails **exactly its own named check** — `CONTROL RESULT: OK`,\n  artifacts unmodified.\n* Usage tokens: this harness exposes no per-turn count, so they are returned **pending**\n  (`source: \"none\"`); nothing is estimated.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.08,"hashes":{"recipe.md":"431c2fd065704b34fc1eb37df2e71aa0e06aab34ebb47a421453c1d780e7fee1","report.md":"e659850ee609b711c62d9b3d839d6506b4d5a4bb6c8943f348695eb17c0a1c49","diag_bx.py":"0b2c9ba751f7a49b445bee09fc5be5af9e482131e6aeb42bbfd0e1678667f473","check_bx.py":"5cf47ed440268211b7eab4080b6ff968d3b548bf656e0533a91e5992aaa195eb","evidence.md":"5faa41aa604e8e5ebe22b302ac8e88df1d6e483be5e8910fe10e85e690e1f860","fetch_bx.py":"3241425da575b6900731e0e9affeb69a8ed2af5857336e26b1e2c9ef89820f31","check_bx.out":"1d262843e966e0036a792349c6b3667ed408d263179825466bcffa41d06f966b","prior_art.md":"3edc3690fbc15856709c347d65c7078adf54588e6d0e1ebde89ba7fecdee4a94","combine_bx.py":"60c301d402ab2f1f085b6ba4364ab5d51c88d05f8e9167ad97c455a07e79120a","compute_bx.py":"98151727553d3dd7347971a67cb7466a5bcb2f9eed4452a7dc3206858af99245","run_all_bx.sh":"499e142cd9e1c0666b672a197fca02791b2036f5c9b85e210ab7798abb111c7f","transcript.md":"7483f1dbd735db1d2b6a9828168efff8e4fcaa915390347ebf43c08cbffe81f6","next_step.json":"fd3664fe47f094515d90de54e549062a2af7ed885b3e2b4a26ccb4a27ebc2d7d","results_bx.log":"6c2f9b3f600247795024344082aefdb250b75f99f4eab14b1a7c3046a4abfb6a","results_bx.json":"60c885b2fad312300b413a61bd640e70c4c3250d909b16ef065cefbd9c2cee7f","served/n4_run.py":"664f82b737e2ea948d195d0fd2ed5adf37ba68cdce9c67156d354028dec62477","diag_bx_65536.json":"99598df739ae0b22663463ed861da88c4ac3deb44410d109dbc3d61417619c2a","check_bx.inputs.txt":"a5c11b471658c5a1c94b522749d25010dd8f95e23c3cfe8bdf01f9425d09cb84","diag_bx_131072.json":"dc85171e69f0a7f1d582fd49eacdabed7cd121a2a31792e8c601bb3a24ff6014","check_bx.control.out":"de58ccbfa67b219988d0e59b6420e60955c0afa7540c7561742f80f8d8f14ff2","diag_bx_1048576.json":"3f2a61e77d5d742c7536562cbeff21bdd40d148551886a028199c0f1e5f5b7b8","PREREGISTRATION_bx.md":"9d51a74eb342e9c019b1e6e0a747f0681b517758c3c5e5b8887e8b99683d1d06","results_bx.status.txt":"976003d5c115e2369d48b39c9de4d84358c06b58f70e71b9eac205fd3bf86854","served/provenance.json":"6bbef75bcee29f2ef2ed6799325c061161ac00d0f8552477f16abab7a9bab1db","served/f654_stat1438.py":"3907b1518b8bc0133b09f1cd2f28a39f3fff62fc5ded2d522c4016b67cbffce4","served/f2002_sieve-null.py":"a53c50266370a779c75d3e2d7b3d93603425ad2d9dcdc68801ea353a2b62f1c8","served/f636_fibre-sign-lag.py":"a74825d84e5421eb330d6b54f93029a0aebdc2fd5120fce02ab5d6d857545b56","results_bx_65536_10-10-1-1_4164.json":"53ef4dee69844ac765670b2d620dec336a975392170a74c2fa84289adeef3ccb","results_bx_65536_10-10-1-1_4165.json":"dfa4e61db5673da1ed158b90fe85fd3f6302cdbe1f5d196f68c6f7c7595e00b3","results_bx_65536_10-10-1-1_4166.json":"ab04447f8c41811b2b3b277709c57b274f05f7a95e32addb191c0b852c3480d7","results_bx_131072_14-14-1-1_4164.json":"5b60f0b1605f7ee1b9476d706a644d734907af4ffcbcdd3963f603532b1459ad","results_bx_131072_14-14-1-1_4165.json":"3819be75e2b1a278af2cc064d1ce0339f35eefbe7356e14c035bf74ad58a788d","results_bx_131072_14-14-1-1_4166.json":"afa0073c82f0ce4ded2575eeea332fd885b30278df1289fc26890c1a1c483bfe","results_bx_1048576_14-14-1-1_4164.json":"f58d0c3f2c9e002a4c11f4b7fb8c51514da870653de9ba4d2662cd43092e7c41","results_bx_1048576_14-14-1-1_4165.json":"7f3e343228b0456f25f99a562705cb12e96e3bd7d3f56cc0fd7f48735fcea98f","results_bx_1048576_14-14-1-1_4166.json":"c609142486812c2f0a8231d33344ea7c217a5534809b5270a5f3534731fb56fd"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-20T06:30:40.944Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[2265,2348,2459,2523,2546,2683,3473,4950],"messages":[]},"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 — route 184 job #7133 (run-2026-10-20-bx)\n\nAll paths are relative to `/work`.
