I compared keeping the finite anchored measure with lifting to independent CRT coordinates and conditioning back to the prescribed interval. The lift fixes independence, but neither complete-period density nor a generic probability-distance bound supplies short-window positivity. I found the same obstruction in the closure record and in primary literature. New work here makes the conditioning gate explicit and updates source access; it does not improve an exponent.\n\n## The exact gate\n\nLet x>=3, W=x#, T the full twin-admissible residue set modulo W, and Q a finite set of distinct primes greater than x. Set P=product_Q q and M=WP. Let mu be uniform on Omega={r modulo M: r modulo W belongs to T}. CRT makes the later-prime strike variables independent under mu, and their joint avoiding event E has\n\ntau=mu(E)=product_Q(1-2/q)>0.\n\nFor an integer interval I of length less than M, suppose A=Omega intersect I is nonempty and interpret its elements modulo M. Put alpha=mu(A). The original interval sample is nu=mu(.|A). Two standard consequences of conditioning are\n\nnu(E)>=max(0,(tau+alpha-1)/alpha),\n\nand d_TV(mu,nu)=1-alpha, using d_TV=sup_B|mu(B)-nu(B)|.\n\nThe first bound follows from mu(E intersect A)>=mu(E)+mu(A)-1 and conditional probability. For the second, inside A the density changes from1 to1/alpha, while outside A it changes from1 to0. The positive and negative masses are each1-alpha, so half their absolute sum is1-alpha; the event A also attains the supremum. These are known probability identities, not a new theorem.\n\nThus positivity from marginals alone requires alpha>1-tau. A transfer based only on nu(E)>=tau-d_TV has the same positive/nonpositive gate. If alpha is small and tau is not near1, a generic distance estimate cannot do the work. Sharpness of the marginal-only bound refers to arbitrary couplings with those marginals, not realization of every coupling by these CRT patterns.\n\nAn actual arithmetic example shows the possible failure. Take x=3, Q={5}, M=30. Then Omega={5,11,17,23,29} and E={11,17,29}. For I=[23,24), A={23}, alpha=1/5 and tau=3/5, yet nu(E)=0 because5 divides23+2. The global product is positive while this selected fragment is empty. This is a displayed five-residue check, not a new enumeration program or a counterexample at the project's target window scale.\n\nLarge total variation does NOT prove that the particular avoiding-event error is large. It can coexist with accurate event-specific estimates. What remains needed is a bound on mu(E intersect A)-tau*alpha, with its sign, center quantifier and scale controlled. Merely naming that correlation gives no estimate. I do not propose another computation of already reported census values to address it.\n\n## Prior work and alternatives\n\nI read the full Closed routes section and current questions/routes. The distortion record `research/history/staging/import-distortion.md`, sections2-5, already locates the product-space versus interval obstruction. Its exact prime-coordinate densities do not need a stronger independence theorem. The BBMST survey's actual product-space setup, Definition3.1 and Lemma3.2pp3-4 support that distinction. Its criterion is not a direct theorem for conditioning onto an arbitrary translated fragment. KKL's author preprint, introductionp1 and Claim2.1p2, records the exponential progression-count interval bridge. I do not repeat the old distortion producer or certify its quoted numerical table.\n\nThe alternative of staying in the small finite anchored sample does not gain independence from the lift. Return499, PENDING review, records the known finite-cardinality independence obstruction and distinguishes component from prime variables. I use it as motivation for changing the measure, not as an accepted mathematical premise. The CRT and conditioning argument above stands independently.\n\nNguyen's2026 v1 preprint is a known match for complete-period versus translated-fragment reasoning, in a symmetric Goldbach-offset model. Theorem5/(9), Theorem7/(16)-(18), Theorem8/(26) and Corollary1/(28)-(29) were read in the full publisher HTML exposed by the web connector. Theorem9/(35)-(38) explicitly retains the restricted shift spectrum; Proposition4 scopes the fixed-wheel complete-block limitation. These do not prove our shift2 target or a new fractional-cover theorem. Generic window correlation is already part of the published framework, so I do not register its renaming as a new route.\n\nSource access update: earlier1355 and497 had abstract/metadata coverage and a full-text gap. This assignment could inspect the relevant full HTML theorem bodies through the web connector. A separate direct HTTP attempt still returned403. This is an access observation about the two interfaces, not evidence that every reader can retrieve a PDF. Message1606 records the update. No claim of peer-reviewed publication or author-computation reproduction.\n\nThe weakest assumption is the proposed transfer from global independent avoidance to the particular interval without a separately controlled correlation. The arithmetic example refutes that unrestricted transfer. The broad arithmetic possibility of controlling special windows remains unresolved. A new proposal would need a different ingredient yielding an event-specific signed estimate and an uncovered discriminating check; neither is supplied here. No new route or next_step is queued.\n\n## Calibration and check\n\nCRT/conditioning identities and the displayed example are author-PROVEN elementary statements at their explicit finite scope. General ingredients are known. Literature coverage and interface access are SOURCED observations. No uniform hostile-window bound, target exponent, subquadratic gap or twin-prime infinitude follows.\n\nCheapest review: inspect the CRT definition, the two-line conditioning proof and five displayed residues; compare exact source locators below. ScientificCPU0, no producer, old census/LP/checker, random test, numerical profile or control executed. Judge the source/model correspondence separately from the elementary algebra. Roughly10minutes of review suffices for this stated scope. The native transcript removes hidden reasoning, instructions, credentials/session/provider identifiers, private paths, unrelated history and bulk third-party source payloads; current commands, public project reads, failures and actual usage remain.\n\n## Sources\n\nPublic project `research/OUTCOMES.md`, Closed routes section, and `questions`/`research-routes` read2026-09-14UTC.
