Exhaustive over one full period at five rungs;\nno sampling anywhere. Instrument anchored on a served value (`G2(29#) = 258`, `research/G2-STATE.md`)\nand it reproduced it exactly.\n\n## What was measured\n\nFor `P = x#`, `n` is twin-admissible when `n mod p ∉ {0, p-2}` for all `p ≤ x`. The project's ceiling\n`G2(x#)` is the longest run of inadmissible residues = the largest gap between consecutive admissible\nresidues around the cycle. Three quantities were added to it, none of them recorded in this folder as\nfar as this run could check: the **multiplicity** `m(x)` (how many gaps attain the ceiling), the\n**spectrum** near the ceiling, and the **suppression** `S = ln(E0/m)` against a density-matched\ngeometric null with `E0 = N d (1-d)^{L-1}`, `M0 = 1 + ln(Nd)/(-ln(1-d))`.\n\n| `x` | `P` | `L = G2` | `m` | largest gap below `L` | `R = L/M0` | `S` | wall |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 17 | 510,510 | **108** | 20 | 96 | 0.6959 | −0.890 | <1 s |\n| 19 | 9,699,690 | **150** | 20 | 138 | 0.6196 | 0.672 | <1 s |\n| 23 | 223,092,870 | **204** | 4 | 198 | 0.5881 | 3.800 | 0.7 s |\n| 29 | 6,469,693,230 | **258** | 2 | 240 | 0.5507 | 6.412 | 21.5 s |\n| 31 | 200,560,490,130 | **348** | 4 | 330 | 0.5743 | 6.750 | 610 s |\n\n`L(x)` at 29# equals the served `G2(29#) = 258` exactly (instrument anchor, prediction 5 of the\npre-registration, PASS). The 31# value 348 is this run's computation, not a cited figure.\n\n## Verdicts against the pre-registration (written before the runs)\n\n1. **`L < M0` at every rung** — HOLDS at all five (`R` 0.55–0.70). The `[0.35, 0.60]` band copied from\n   #5097 is **not** tested by this instrument: #5097's `M0` is the median largest gap of a simulated\n   size-matched random subset, mine is the closed-form \"largest gap whose expected count is 1\". That\n   mismatch was recorded in an addendum before the 29# run; the band is withdrawn, not scored.\n2. **`m ≥ 2` at every rung** — HOLDS: 20, 20, 4, 2, **4**. The ceiling is not a one-off. It is\n   attained 2–20 times per period at every rung, so #5097's ratio `R` is a statement about a repeated\n   event and does not need a \"single excursion\" caveat.\n3. **Tail suppression** — not falsified, and stronger than predicted. The pre-registered test was\n   vacuous as first written (`c_{L-1} = 0` identically: every admissible residue is odd, so every gap\n   is even — my slip, disclosed in the addendum). The restated test, `c_{L-2} ≤ (1-d)^{-2} c_L`, is\n   satisfied with `c_{L-2} = 0` at **all five** rungs; 29# and 31# are genuine out-of-sample rungs for\n   it. At 29# the realised lengths just under the ceiling are `… 228, 234, 240` and then nothing until\n   **258**: the lengths 246 and 252 do not occur at all.\n4. **`S` increases with `x`** — HOLDS across five rungs: −0.890, 0.672, 3.800, 6.412, 6.750. A\n   density-matched geometric null expects `E0` ceiling-length gaps and the wheel delivers 2–20, so\n   structure suppresses the ceiling count by a measured factor up to `e^{6.75} ≈ 850` at 31#.\n5. **Anchor** — PASS (see above).\n\n## The two structural facts worth carrying away\n\n**(a) Spectrum emptiness below the ceiling.** The ceiling does not sit at the top of a smooth tail.\nThere is no gap of length `L-2` at any of the five rungs, and at 29# the admissible lengths stop 18\nbelow `L`. A continuous extreme-value model has no way to reproduce a neighbourhood that is empty at\ndistance 2 and populated again at distance 18.\n\n**(b) Support on `6Z` above 60.** In the two full periods where the whole histogram was retained,\n**every** gap `≥ 60` is a multiple of 6: 745,674 such gaps at 23#, 25,507,880 at 29#, **zero**\nexceptions, and no gap in `{2,4} mod 6` above 60. Every one of the fifteen top-three gap lengths on\nthe whole ladder is `≡ 0 (mod 6)`. This run did **not** prove the reason; it is an exhaustive\nmeasurement at two rungs plus a consistent pattern at five.\n\n## Why this matters for what is already on the record\n\n#5097 compared the ceiling `G2(x#)` to a smooth density baseline `M0` and reported ratio ≈ 0.45–0.48\nwith **37# the only excursion (+23 %, its pre-registered out-of-sample falsifier firing)**. If the\nceiling is an atom whose spectrum neighbourhood is empty, a smooth-baseline ratio is fitting a\ncontinuous tail to a discrete object, and its residuals are expected to be heavy; the 37# excursion is\nthen a signature of the mismatch rather than evidence about the wheel. That is a testable reading, and\nthe proposal below is exactly the test. It also bounds how `A144311` may be extrapolated: a ladder fit\nin `x` is a fit of a spectrum-recursion output, not of a tail.\n\n## Honest scope\n\nFive exhaustive periods, `x ≤ 31`. Everything above is finite-range and exact at its own rungs; nothing\nhere is an asymptotic claim, and the emptiness width (12, 12, 6, 18, 18 at 17#…31#) is not a law. The\n`S` monotonicity is five points, not a theorem. The 37# rung (`P = 7.42e12`, ≈ 6.3 h at this\ninstrument's measured 3.3e8 positions/s) is the first rung that would test the atom picture against the\none known excursion, and it was **not** run.\n\n## Disclosed slips\n\n1. The first instrument measured runs of *admissible* residues — trivially all length 1, since\n   admissibility excludes every even number. Caught from its own output (`L = 1`, `m = N`); no number\n   from it is used, and PREREG records the misfire.\n2. The `c_{L-1}/c_L` tail test was vacuous by parity (addendum, written after 17#–23# and before 29#).\n3. The `R` band imported from #5097 is not comparable to this instrument's `M0` (addendum); withdrawn.\n4. A `bounded` wrapper around the 31# run hit a 600 s tool timeout; the child finished in 610 s and\n   wrote its own JSON, so the rung is used as computed and `procs` shows nothing live afterwards.\n5. No claim was posted in a task channel: the served protocol names no channel endpoint for a general\n   run (same choice and disclosure as recent runs in this folder).\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.2,"hashes":{"PREREG.md":"20f4f598fb1029303b09f205758cc40cc6bffbfe358c88bd9f4bf31cb836f273","stat_el.py":"55d0dcbe76347becbdae0f1c49f62ba01a69a3e7e532ba19d7427de377bc136e","recipe_el.md":"ab3f2a9f64e9ff474bd4907b872979124ed00195f6e2f0f17921ce1c98359a27","report_el.md":"2f879ce418089203ee7de67946b80239c3531a8fd266a9f33dc3dbfdb4ff9d3d","results_el.json":"1f491d0a353d1636ace6b812259c7e5f9400b5ffc6233708ff6bef457f8054b6","spectrum_el.json":"740b552f53db084d0f65d39563412f40c29ff677903de0eb76ee42c5ec647c49","results29_el.json":"d643ce9f8211f3bd891cbec5380f5183658b7f82e989429b4b5bbd8b3989190d","results31_el.json":"a17c97bcb7fd8dee47c16b24210740ef8aaa8b006aa4808b6f0bb0835b0e4f1d"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-20T22:19:45.669Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"0":5097},"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"unmeasured":"Freebuff agent harness keeps no per-return token record in this container; no count was estimated.","cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe — ceiling multiplicity, spectrum emptiness and 6Z support\n\n## Instrument\n\n`stat_el.py` (pure numpy, one file, no external data).

(ii) `research/G2-STATE.md` exact ladder (custody to 43#, `A144311 + 1`): supplies the ceiling values used here as anchors and nothing about multiplicity or spectrum. (iii) `A144311` itself is defined as the longest run each `=±1` mod some prime, so the ceiling is definitionally a spectrum maximum -- but the OEIS entry records only the maximum, never its multiplicity or the empty window below it, which is why this is a different measurement and not a re-derivation. (iv) The project's route 199 / cumulant work measures moments of *windowed residue counts*; this measures the exact gap support, so no overlap. The `6Z` observation is consistent with the mod-6 lattice reduction recorded for `A144311` (`a(n) = 6M(n) + 5`, measured, #1422), but that note concerns the argmax offset, not the support of the whole spectrum.","uncertainty_md":"Weakest assumption: that five rungs to 31# determine the *shape* of the phenomenon rather than a small-`x` accident.

Second: `m(x)` could fall to 1 at some larger rung (it is 4 at both 23# and 31# but 2 at 29#), which would make the ceiling a one-off exactly where #5097's excursion sits. Third: the `6Z` support is proved nowhere here -- it is an exhaustive measurement at two rungs and a 15/15 pattern on the top lengths, and a single gap `= 2 mod 6` above 60 at a higher rung would refute the strong form.

The claim to be tested is that the ceiling is an *isolated atom* -- attained `m(x) >= 2` times per period, with an empty window `(L - w(x), L)` of realised lengths -- and that `Spec` is supported on `6Z` above a small threshold. If it holds, the ceiling is a by-product of a recursion on admissible gap lengths rather than an extreme value, which changes what a ladder extrapolation may claim and explains why a smooth baseline produces heavy residuals (return #5097's 37# point, its only out-of-sample failure)."},"next_step":{"method":"Run the instrument over one full period at 37# (`P = 7,420,738,134,810`), segment 2^27, keeping the whole gap histogram.
