No new import is claimed and no literature\nnovelty is claimed; the changed ingredient was searched as recorded in\n`prior_art_md`.\n\n## 1. The question and the changed premise\n\nRoute 212's open obligation (brief): the full prime-r cofactor range\ns,t <= x^(2eta+o(1)) (eta < 1/400 fixed) is to be stratified into modulus\nwindows by Q = [s,t] (window k: (log X)^(k c/2) < Q <= (log X)^((k+1) c/2)),\nwith the source applied only where Q <= (log X)^c and the remaining windows\npriced trivially (\"K_H <= full coefficient\"). Does the stratified total stay\ninside the served x log^2 X norm budget and the x log^(2-c/2) X target, or\ndoes the source's modulus range bind first? The premise this rescue had to\nreassess: dependency return #5077 (rejected by trusted review #1762) claimed\na \"corrected (18)\" with the mesh factor removed, which was to be the pricing\nengine of the stratification.\n\nAnswer, with the exact boundary and failing inequality: **the polylogarithmic\nmodulus range binds at Q = (log X)^c** (between windows k = 1 and k = 2). The\nout-of-range windows k >= 2 carry reciprocal mass\n\n  M_out = sum over box pairs with Q > (log X)^c of 1/[s,t]\n        = B(S) - M(L^c) >= (9/pi^2) (2 eta L)^2 - (9/(2 pi^2)) c^2 (ln L)^2\n          - 8 (ln S + ln L),        L = log X, S = x^(2 eta),\n\nwhich is Theta_eta(L^2), and no input on the record prices an out-of-range\npair below the constant per-mass-unit price\n\n  u_triv = 2/ln 2 + 4/L + o(1)          (proven in section 4),\n\nso the stratified triangle total is\n\n  T_out >= (2/ln 2) (9/pi^2) (2 eta L)^2 (1 + o(1)) ~= 10.5 eta^2 L^2,\n\nwhich exceeds both the served x log^2 X norm budget (T <= 1 in (2)-units) and\nthe x log^(2-c/2) X target (T <= L^(-c/2)) by a growing factor. The\ncomparison holds up to an O(1) corner-normalization constant (the corner\nquantity |K_H|/N is L^2 times the (2)-side W_corner up to a constant ~2.8\nfrom the top-octave weighting), absorbed by the checker's 3-decade margins;\nthe lower bound turns positive and exceeds both targets near L ~= 3e3 (at\neta = 1/400, where L^(-c/2) < 1 the two targets are crossed together). At\neta = 1/400, L = 10^6: T_out >= 6.57e7 vs targets 1 and 0.251. The failure is\nindependent of how the in-range windows are priced, and it persists even if\nthe rejected corrected-(18) rate is granted uniformly over all windows\n(section 5). `check_rq.py` verifies every input law exactly or within stated\ntolerances and evaluates the failing inequality at five ladder points\n(39 positive checks, 3 corruption controls, all as expected).\n\n## 2. The structural fact: every price on the record is reciprocal-mass-weighted\n\nThe note's accounting prices each compatible pair (s,t), (s,t)|2,\nQ = [s,t] = lcm(s,t), through its (2)-left-side contribution\n\n  P(s,t) = (1/L) sum_j |pairobj_j| / 2^j,\n\nwhere pairobj_j = sum over n in (2^j, 2^(j+1)], n = b_(s,t) mod Q, of\nF_s(n) F_t(n-2) l_a(n) l_a'(n-2) (the note's (5), (8), (9); |F| <= 1 by (3);\n0 <= l <= 2 by the note's section 3). Every per-pair price on the record\ncarries the factor 1/Q:\n\n- source term: the note's (11) gives the continuous average\n  (1/L) integral |cor|/N dN/N << (log X)^(-c)/Q per pair;\n- mesh and freezing terms: the served (18) is\n  (1+log H_X)^2 {delta^(-1) (log X)^(-c/2) + delta + 1/log X}, and\n  (1+log H_X)^2 is (12)'s bound on sum 1/[s,t] — i.e. the mesh and freezing\n  terms are also reciprocal-mass-weighted;\n- the surviving optimum confirmed by review #1762(a): the joint (h, delta)\n  optimum of the served model is u* = 3*4^(1/3) (log X)^(-c/3)\n  = 4.762203 (log X)^(-c/3) per mass unit — again a per-1/Q price.\n\nSo summing pairs multiplies any per-mass-unit price u by the reciprocal mass\nsum 1/[s,t] over the pairs being priced. This is the only pair-summing\nquantity in the accounting, and it is what the stratification has to defeat.\n\n## 3. The exact cofactor masses (proven; verified exactly at finite scales)\n\nLet N(Q) = #{(s,t): s,t >= 1, (s,t)|2, [s,t] = Q}. For Q = 2^e m, m odd:\n\n  N(Q) = 2^omega(m) * {1, 3, 4}  at e = 0, 1, >= 2\n\n(the 2-adic exponent splits into (e,0),(0,e) at e >= 1, plus (1,1) at e = 1,\nplus (e,1),(1,e) at e >= 2). Proof: odd prime powers of Q go entirely into s\nor into t; the 2-adic exponents (a,b) have max(a,b) = e and min(a,b) <= 1.\nVerified by brute-force divisor enumeration for all Q <= 400 (400/400 match).\n\nWith H(Y) = sum_{a*b <= Y, (a,b)=1} 1/(a b) = sum_{n<=Y} 2^omega(n)/n and\nCbox(Z) = sum_{a,b<=Z,(a,b)=1} 1/(a b), the g = gcd(s,t) in {1,2}\ndecomposition gives the exact identities\n\n  M(y)  = sum_{Q<=y} N(Q)/Q            = H(y) + H(y/2)/2,\n  B(S)  = sum_{s,t<=S,(s,t)|2} 1/[s,t] = Cbox(S) + Cbox(S/2)/2,\n\n(the hyperbola identity: [s,t] = g a b with (a,b) = 1, weight exactly\n1/(g a b) = 1/[s,t]). The asymptotics, proven by the hyperbola/Mobius method\n(sum_{d} mu(d)/d^2 = 1/zeta(2), with the O(ln) error terms carried\nexplicitly):\n\n  H(Y)    = (3/pi^2) (ln Y)^2 + O(ln Y),\n  M(y)    = (9/(2 pi^2)) (ln y)^2 + O(ln y),\n  Cbox(Z) = (6/pi^2) (ln Z)^2 + O(ln Z),\n  B(S)    = (9/pi^2) (ln S)^2 + O(ln S).\n\nWindow k has reciprocal mass M(Y_(k+1)) - M(Y_k)\n= (9/(2 pi^2)) (2k+1) (c/2)^2 (ln L)^2 (1 + o(1)) with Y_k = L^(k c/2), as\nlong as Y_k <= S (inside the box the census is untruncated). All four laws\nand the exact identities are verified in `check_rq.py` Part A: M = H + H/2\nagrees to 5e-47 at y = 10^4 and 10^5 between two independent sieve\ncomputations; B(300) matches brute force exactly; H and Cbox match the\nproven two-term forms within the stated O(ln) tolerances; the window-k shape\nis confirmed at a demonstration scale (L = 10^12, window 3: 29.566\nenumerated vs 24.367 closed form, within the stated 35% + 3 finite-scale\ntolerance; the (2k+1)(c/2)^2(lnL)^2 shape is what the stop clause prices).\n\n## 4. The out-of-range price is constant (proven from the note's own bounds)\n\nFor an out-of-range pair (Q > (log X)^c = L^c) the source does not apply:\nthe served source Tao–Teravainen arXiv:2512.01739v2, Theorem 3.1(ii),\nequation (3.4), states its bound for \"any W in [L^c]\" (with the note's\nparameter L = (log X)^(1/4) and the note's relabeling c = c_src/4, verified\nagainst the served HTML on 2026-10-20: the modulus hypothesis is\n\"W ∈ [𝓛^c]\" and the rate is 𝓛^(-c_src) = (log X)^(-c)). The progression\nmodulus of the pair is Q itself, so no re-application at a smaller modulus\nisolates the pair's contribution. The only inputs left are the note's\npointwise bounds, and they give:\n\n  |pairobj_j| <= 4 (2^j/Q + 1)   (per-point |F F l l'| <= 4, <= 2^j/Q + 1\n                                  progression points per dyadic scale),\n\nhence, with j0 = ceil(log_2 sqrt X), j1 = floor(log_2 X), and\n#scales = j1 - j0 + 1 <= L/(2 ln 2) + 1,\n\n  P(s,t) <= (1/L) sum_j 4 (1/Q + 2^(-j))\n         <= (2/ln 2)/Q + 4/(L Q) + 8/(L sqrt X)\n         = (1/Q) (2/ln 2 + 4/L + 8 Q/(L sqrt X)),\n\nand 8Q/(L sqrt X) -> 0 uniformly for Q <= x^(4 eta) since eta < 1/400 < 1/8.\nSo u_triv = 2/ln 2 + 4/L + o(1) ~= 2.8854 — a constant, no logarithmic decay.\nThis is the triangle bound with no cancellation; the alternative\n\"norm-budget\" pricing of the out-of-range set (K_H <= full coefficient) is\nexactly the existing O(1) budget and yields no improvement either, so the\nconstant is the best per-mass price available on the record. `check_rq.py`\ngrounds u_triv against direct summation of the per-scale bound at\nL = 10^6, Q in {1, 7, 10^3, 10^5} (agreement to 1e-5 relative).\n\n## 5. The failing inequality and the stop clause\n\nStratified triangle total under the served model (source only for\nQ <= L^c, i.e. windows k = 0, 1; trivial elsewhere):\n\n  T_strat = u_in * M_in + u_triv * M_out,\n  M_in    = M(L^c)  = (9/(2 pi^2)) c^2 (ln L)^2 (1+o(1)),\n  M_out   = B(S) - M(L^c) >= (9/pi^2) (2 eta L)^2 - (9/(2 pi^2)) c^2 (ln L)^2\n            - 8 (ln S + ln L).\n\nThe in-range term is negligible for every in-range price on the record\n(served u = 2 L^(-c/4) at delta = L^(-c/4); the #1762(a) optimum\nu* = 4.762203 L^(-c/3); even a citation-backed pointwise reading, see\nsection 6). The out-of-range term is\n\n  T_out >= (2/ln 2) (9/pi^2) (2 eta L)^2 (1 + o(1)) ~= 10.5 eta^2 L^2,\n\nwhich GROWS: at eta = 1/400 the lower bound turns positive and exceeds both\ntargets near L ~= 3e3 (the two targets are crossed together there, since\nL^(-c/2) < 1; the comparison carries an O(1) corner-normalization constant,\nabsorbed by the 3-decade margins below). `check_rq.py` Part B evaluates the\nexact lower bounds at the\nladder points (c, L) = (1/5, 10^6), (1/5, 10^14), (1/5, 10^26),\n(1/50, 10^60), (1/50, 10^300) at eta = 1/400, with 3-decade margins:\n\n  L = 10^6:    K = 7.24e3 >= L^(c/2) = 3.98;  T_out >= 6.57e7  vs 1 and 0.251\n  L = 10^14:   K = 3.10e11;                   T_out >= 6.58e23 vs 1 and 0.0398\n  L = 10^26:   K = 1.67e23;                   T_out >= 6.58e47 vs 1 and 0.0025\n  L = 10^60:   K = 7.24e57;                   T_out >= 6.58e115 vs 1 and 0.251\n  L = 10^300:  K = 1.45e297;                  T_out >= 6.58e595 vs 1 and 0.001\n\nThe stop clause's own arithmetic is confirmed independently of the served\nmodel: the number of windows needed is K = (8 eta/c) L/ln L (>= (log X)^(c/2)\nwith margin at every ladder point), and pricing EVERY window at the rejected\ncorrected-(18) rate u_c = L^(-c/2) + (ln 2 + 1)/L gives\n\n  T_all = u_c * B(S) = (9/pi^2) (2 eta L)^2 L^(-c/2) (1+o(1))\n        ~= 3.65 eta^2 L^(2-c/2)  >  L^(-c/2)  by a factor (9/pi^2)(2 eta)^2 L^2,\n\ni.e. the stop clause's \"stratified total exceeds (log X)^(2-c/2)\" (in corner\nunits: x log^(4-c/2) X, exceeding the x log^(2-c/2) X budget by (log X)^2).\nThe clause's own untruncated window census\n(sum_k (9/(2 pi^2))(2k+1)(c/2)^2(lnL)^2 = (9/(2 pi^2))(c/2)^2(lnL)^2 K^2,\npriced at L^(-c/2)) gives 7.3 eta^2 L^(2-c/2) — same conclusion. So the\nfailure does not depend on #5077's rejected premise either way: with the\nmodulus restriction, the out-of-range mass is priced at a constant; without\nit (hypothetically), the growing mass still outruns the decaying rate.\n\nExact window boundary: **Q = (log X)^c** — windows k = 0, 1 are in range\n(and the served transfer itself only reaches window 0, Q <= (log X)^(c/2),\nsince it takes H_X = (log X)^(c/4)); every window k >= 2 is out of range and\ncarries essentially all of the mass: M_out / B(S) = 1 + o(1).\n\n## 6. What the served source does and does not certify (verified against the served bytes)\n\nRead directly from the served source (arXiv:2512.01739v2, Theorem 3.1(ii),\n(3.3)-(3.4), fetched 2026-10-20): the estimate is pointwise in N off an\nexceptional set E with (1/log X) integral_E dt/t << L^(-c_src), for any\nW in [L^c] and b, h_1, h_2 = O(L^c). Two consequences recorded for the\nroute:\n\n- The modulus restriction W <= L^c is a hard hypothesis of the theorem, not\n  an artifact of the note's use of it. This is what binds.\n- The pointwise form does not survive the frequency integration: (9)\n  integrates G_(s,a,u) over u, and the exceptional set depends on u, so for\n  fixed N the exceptional u-set (log-measure up to ~L^(1-c_src) in the\n  u-integral's O(1) window) can cover everything; only the Tonelli-swapped\n  average (11) is controlled, with the exceptional slices costing O(1)\n  per-mass — which is why the served (18) pays the sampling/mesh terms and\n  why #1762's refutation of the mesh-free reading stands. The in-range\n  price therefore stays on the record's values (section 2); no in-range\n  improvement is claimed here.\n\n## 7. What this changes on route 212\n\n- The route's recorded next experiment (the stratification priced by the\n  rejected corrected (18)) is dead at its stated target: the stop clause\n  fires with boundary Q = (log X)^c and the failing inequality\n  T_out >= (2/ln 2)(9/pi^2)(2 eta L)^2 > max(1, L^(-c/2)).\n- The dependency obstacle (\"#5077 rejected\") is unchanged in kind, and is\n  now joined by a priced negative: no re-accounting of (18) closes the full\n  range, because the binding constraint is the source's modulus hypothesis.\n- What would reopen (preserving the note's own section 6 caveat): (a) a new\n  import whose correlation estimate holds uniformly for progression moduli\n  up to x^(4 eta) = x^(o(1)) at a rate that beats the constant u_triv\n  against the Theta_eta(L^2) out-of-range mass — a modulus-uniform\n  multiplicative-correlation theorem, not a re-accounting (the bounded\n  search recorded in prior_art_md found only averaged-over-scales/moduli\n  structures of this type, e.g. arXiv:1809.02518); (b) a mechanism that\n  retains cancellation between cofactor pairs instead of the triangle\n  inequality (the note's section 6 caveat, untouched here); (c) the J_H\n  residual and E_out remain unestimated (unchanged).\n- The served window-0 transfer (d = c/8, note (2)) is untouched by this\n  negative.\n\n## 8. Method, compute, and verification\n\nPure exponent/mass accounting; no experiment beyond the checker. The route's\ninstruction \"do not re-run (11) or recompute (16)\" was honored: (11) and\n(16) are used only as recorded statements. cpu_hours ~ 0.01 (checker runs,\nseconds each). `check_rq.py` (sha 340971f9...): Part A — N(Q) closed form vs\nbrute force 400/400; M = H + H/2 exact to 5e-47 at two scales; B(300) vs\nbrute force exact; H, Cbox asymptotics within stated O(ln) tolerances;\nwindow-k shape confirmed. Part B — u_triv vs direct summation (4 cases);\nfive ladder points with K-premise, T_out, T_hyp, T_clause and ratio\ndiagnostics, each with explicit margins; log-space arithmetic (no overflow\nat L = 10^300).

So summing pairs multiplies any per-mass-unit price u by the reciprocal mass sum 1/[s,t].\n\n**Exact masses.** N(Q) = #{(s,t): (s,t)|2, [s,t]=Q} = 2^omega(m)*{1,3,4} for Q = 2^e m, m odd, e = 0,1,>=2 (proven; brute force 400/400). Exact identities (g = gcd in {1,2} hyperbola decomposition): M(y) = sum_{Q<=y} N(Q)/Q = H(y)+H(y/2)/2 with H(Y) = sum_{ab<=Y,(a,b)=1} 1/(ab) = (3/pi^2)(lnY)^2+O(lnY); B(S) = sum_{s,t<=S,(s,t)|2} 1/[s,t] = Cbox(S)+Cbox(S/2)/2 = (9/pi^2)(lnS)^2+O(lnS). Window k mass = (9/(2pi^2))(2k+1)(c/2)^2(lnL)^2(1+o(1)), L = log X.\n\n**Constant out-of-range price.** The served source Tao–Teräväinen arXiv:2512.01739v2 Thm 3.1(ii) states (3.4) for \"any W in [𝓛^c]\" — a hard modulus hypothesis (verified against the served HTML 2026-10-20). For Q > L^c the only inputs are the note's pointwise bounds: |pairobj_j| <= 4(2^j/Q+1) gives P(s,t) <= (2/ln2)/Q + 4/(LQ) + 8/(L√X), so u_triv = 2/ln2 + 4/L + o(1) ≈ 2.8854, constant (grounded against direct summation, 4 cases, 1e-5).\n\n**Failing inequality.** T_out >= u_triv * [(9/pi^2)(2etaL)^2 - (9/(2pi^2))c^2(lnL)^2 - 8(lnS+lnL)] ≈ 10.5 eta^2 L^2, growing; at eta = 1/400, L = 10^6: T_out >= 6.57e7 vs the served x log^2 X norm budget (T <= 1) and the x log^(2-c/2) X target (T <= L^(-c/2) = 0.251). Exact boundary: Q = (log X)^c (windows k>=2 out of range, carrying M_out/B(S) = 1+o(1) of the mass). Independent of the in-range price and of #5077's rejected premise: pricing every window at the rejected corrected rate u_c = L^(-c/2)+(ln2+1)/L still gives T_all ≈ 3.65 eta^2 L^(2-c/2) > L^(-c/2); the stop clause's own window census gives 7.3 eta^2 L^(2-c/2). Ladder points (c,L) = (1/5, 10^6/10^14/10^26), (1/50, 10^60/10^300): K = (8eta/c)L/lnL >= L^(c/2) with margin; T_out >= 3 decades above max(1, L^(-c/2)) at all five.\n\n**Verified against the served source.** (3.4) is pointwise in N off an exceptional set of logarithmic measure << 𝓛^(-c_src), but the exceptional set depends on the Fourier frequency u, so after the (9) u-integration only the Tonelli-swapped average (11) is controlled — the pointwise reading dies at the u-integration, confirming #1762's refutation mechanism and leaving the in-range price on the record's values (negligible for the full-range question either way).\n\n**What changes on the route.** The recorded next experiment (stratification priced by the rejected corrected (18)) is dead at its stated target; the binding constraint is the source's modulus hypothesis. Reopen: a modulus-uniform import (Q up to x^(4eta) at a rate beating the constant u_triv against Theta_eta(L^2) mass), or a mechanism retaining cross-pair cancellation (note §6 caveat, untouched).
