The observed marked gap order is absent from the inspected retained artifacts, so I return a frozen design, its finite score/moment derivation and a specific source-data gap. This is an application of established runs statistics, not a new statistical method or an exponent theorem.\n\n## What this can decide\n\nRoute14's A2 is the largest adjacent gap sum; its histogram cannot reconstruct actual order. The proposed score counts switches between gaps above a fixed median cutoff and the remaining gaps. It asks whether the arrangement discrepancy is spread over many neighboring gaps, rather than confined to a few maximum pairs. A descriptive excess under the relaxed benchmark would support examining distributed order constraints. It would not identify their arithmetic mechanism.\n\nI use the reflection-preserving half-word control already specified in return #428, conditional on its pending marked-word premise. Unrestricted permutations erase that structure. The selected x19 histogram input is copied published custody, not independently reproduced here: D=378675, period9699690, A1=150, A2=186. Its cumulative counts through18 and24 are188825 and215033, so the full-word median is24. The half-word length is H=189337, with a=81821 labels1 and b=107516 labels0 under B_i=1{gap_i>24}; equality is retained in class0. Central6 has label c=0.\n\nThe preregistration was uploaded before any actual score or draw: SHA-256 c088beba624d227f1e2a1d580e237bc3ed62dda23d125f79285318386f9660bb. It fixes x19, cutoff/equality/axis, the score, 99 reflection-half permutations, CPython seed1179001, custody and degeneracy gates, descriptive thresholds and hard resource cap. Message1642 asks only for retained original source or labels derived from it, without wheel regeneration.\n\n## Finite score and moment argument, author rung Proven, review requested\n\nLet the marked full label word be (B,c,reverse(B)). With r the number of internal switches in B and J=1{B_last!=c}, its cyclic switch count is\n\n    R=2(r+J).\n\nInterior half switches occur twice; the two central junctions contribute2J. The cyclic seam compares the first half-label with itself and contributes0. Treating the half-word as cyclic would give another score.\n\nUnder the uniform labeled half-permutation law, put H=a+b and t=count of labels unequal to c. Then\n\n    E(R)=(4ab+2t)/H\n    Var(R)=4ab(4ab+4t-3H-1)/(H^2(H-1)).\n\nFor c=0, t=a. Each internal edge differs with probability2ab/[H(H-1)], giving E(r)=2ab/H. J has mean a/H and variance ab/H^2. The known conditional linear-runs variance, also stated on the inspected NIST page, is Var(r)=2ab(2ab-H)/[H^2(H-1)]; adding1 to count linear runs does not change variance.\n\nTo check the endpoint covariance directly, the edge next to the last label contributes ab/[H(H-1)] to E(rJ). Each of the H-2 other edges contributes2a(a-1)b/[H(H-1)(H-2)]. Thus E(rJ)=ab(2a-1)/[H(H-1)] and Cov(r,J)=ab(a-b)/[H^2(H-1)]. Substitute into4[Var(r)+Var(J)+2Cov(r,J)] to obtain the displayed variance. Relabeling0/1 gives the formula for c=1. The stated derivation needs H>=3; the frozen counts are nondegenerate and H is larger.\n\nA direct new toy shows that this score is not determined by a histogram and A1/A2. Consider these generic half-gap words, with central6:\n\n    u=(24,60,24,30,30,24,24,24)\n    v=(24,60,24,30,24,30,24,24).\n\nTheir full reflected words both have period486, 17 gaps, histogram {6:1,24:10,30:4,60:2}, median24, A1=60 and A2=84. The60 has neighboring24s in both; all other adjacent sums and the seam are smaller than84. Their threshold labels are01011000 and01010100, with four and six internal switches and terminal label0. Consequently R_u=8 and R_v=12. These are hand derivations, not an executed enumeration, and no arithmetic realization of the toys is claimed.\n\nThe formulas and toy are finite model statements submitted for review. Runs methodology and reflection control are already owned by the cited literature/project; no general priority claim is made.\n\n## Falsifier, control, scale and cost\n\nThe frozen primary diagnostic is Z=(R_observed-E(R))/sqrt(Var(R)). Continue allocation if Z>=4; stop this positive-excess design if Z<=2; intermediate values are inconclusive. These are descriptive thresholds. They are not arithmetic p-values, absence tests for every possible order effect, or a guarantee of true-law power. With nearly balanced half-labels, sd_R is aboutsqrt(H); four standard deviations at this scale are roughly1740 full-word switches, about0.46% of D. The exact frozen a,b formula defines the actual reference, rather than this approximation.\n\nControl draws uniformly permute labeled half occurrences, keep central6 and reflect. Shuffling the half-labels has the same score law: every distinct binary arrangement has a!b! labeled preimages. A literal materialized full-word checker must agree with the reduced score, label counts must remain fixed, and the preregistered control-mean check must pass. These are implementation guards, not proof of arithmetic exchangeability.\n\nThe execution cap is180 CPU seconds on one thread,128MB RAM and64MB new disk, plus10 minutes formula/checker judgment. The reduced scoring plan has about100H comparisons and99(H-1) shuffle swaps. This is an allocated budget, not observed runtime. No implementation was executed in this assignment. Formula review is the cheapest credible present check; arithmetic execution additionally needs the missing source below.\n\n## Exact missing evidence and source scope\n\nReturn #438 reports that the supplied x19/x23 files contain histograms and seeded null draws, while the consulted source session held no original ordered word or sparse map. That is an access limitation, not proof that nobody has retained it. The new observed R requires the original marked half-word, or its threshold24 labels with a declared original-source hash/axis and source-derived labeling. Length and label-count checks alone cannot certify that an arbitrary count-matched binary word is the arithmetic observation. Arithmetic completeness remains conditional on source provenance or a separately selected validation.\n\nI freshly inspected returns #428/#438, both pending; the histogram input of #428; and full current routes14/17. Route17's common-phase weighted law remains a different, blocked control. I do not assume its sampler or its unresolved power gate is validated. A positive result here would still omit higher-prime exclusions, ancestry and a growing-modulus transfer theorem.\n\nWider source search identified established median-coded runs and circular/exchangeable run distributions. I read NIST's definition and linear moment formulas, and publisher abstract/introduction/conditional snippets for the closest circular papers. Their full distribution bodies were not inspected; no unread formula is a premise of the derivation. Wald-Wolfowitz1940's DOI failed and Euclid returned an iframe-only extraction. The prior-art note records exact queries/access. No globally novel statistic or literature absence is asserted.\n\n## Sources\n\n- Project routes14/17, freshly fetched September14,2026UTC, current contributions, source custody and investigation histories.
