This report delivers the statistic, one exact law it obeys, one\npre-registered claim of mine that the first rung **refuted** (disclosed in §5), and the measured\norder effect that is the statistic's payload.\n\n## 1. The gap that exists\n\nEvery retained census on this ladder is the **length marginal** of the twin-admissible gap\nsequence: `c_L` in `#5110`'s COUNT/CERT, `#4886`'s exact histograms at 29#/31#, `#5134`'s ceiling\nwork and entry 335's parity law (`c_L` even for `L != 6`, `c_6` odd). A marginal cannot see\n**order**: two arrangements of the same gap multiset have the same `c_L` for every `L`, so every\none of those instruments — and `G2`, and `CERT_G` — is blind to the difference. Entry 335's proof\nmechanism is an order-reversing involution `mu(n) = -n-2`, and it was applied only to the\nmarginal.\n\n## 2. The statistic\n\nFor `P = x#`, `x >= 5`, let `S = {n mod P : gcd(n(n+2),P) = 1}`, `N = |S| = prod_{3<=p<=x}(p-2)`\n(odd), `s_1 < ... < s_N` cyclic, and `g_i = s_{i+1} - s_i` the **span** of gap `i`\n(`s_{N+1} = s_1 + P`, so `sum_i g_i = P`). **Span equals the `L` of the `c_L` notation**\n(`#5110`, `#5134`, entry 335); the minimum is 4.\n\n> `A[L][R] = #{ i : g_i = L and g_{i+1} = R }`, the **adjacent-gap-pair matrix**.\n\nEquivalently a **vertex** statistic: at each admissible `v`, the ordered pair (left gap span,\nright gap span); `A` is its joint frequency table. `sum_R A[L][R] = c_L`, so `A` is a strict\nrefinement of every retained census, and no census retains `A`. A permutation of the gap multiset\nthat preserves `c_L` exactly changes `A` (`q10`, and control C1 below): the censuses cannot decide\n`A`.\n\n**Decision it informs.** Whether the reflection mechanism behind entry 335 is a property of the\n**gap process** or only of its marginal — and, computationally, the coefficients of a **two-step**\nblock recursion (the `H_new = sum_L c_L H_{L+1}` formula of `#192`, taken one step deeper) are\nexactly `A`, so a law on `A` halves the coefficient table a computation must build.\n\n## 3. The law (PROVEN, hand proof, no Lean)\n\n`mu(n) = -n-2` is an involution of `Z/P` preserving `S` (`gcd((-n-2)(-n),P) = gcd(n(n+2),P)`) and\nreversing cyclic order. For a vertex `v`, `mu` sends the ordered value `(g_left, g_right)` at `v`\nto `(g_right, g_left)` at `mu(v)`.\n\n**(i) `A = A^T` exactly.** `v -> mu(v)` is a bijection `{v : value (L,R)} -> {v : value (R,L)}`.\n\n**(ii) The diagonal parity.** `v -> mu(v)` preserves `{v : g_left = g_right = L}`, so `A[L][L]`\ncounts that set in involution orbits: even except at fixed vertices. `2v = -2 mod P` gives\n`v = P/2 - 1` and `v = -1`; `P/2` is odd for `x >= 5`, so `P/2 - 1` is even and not in `S` (all of\n`S` is odd). The **unique** fixed vertex is `v = -1`, whose value is `(g*, g*)`, `g*` = span of the\ngap at `-1`. Hence\n\n> exactly one odd diagonal cell, `(g*, g*)`; every other `A[L][L]` is even; `sum_L A[L][L]` is odd.\n\nOff-diagonal cells carry **no** parity constraint — see §5: I asserted one in the\npre-registration and it was wrong.\n\n**(iii) The gap-level shadow (entry 335, independent).** The gap map `n -> -n-L-2` has exactly one\nfixed gap, `[P/2-4, P/2+2]` of span 6, so `c_6` is odd and `c_L` even for `L != 6`. Recomputed\nhere from scratch at every rung; this run **extends the machine check to 17#, 19#, 23#**\n(entry 335's recheck was `x = 5..13`).\n\n## 4. Measured (exact, all seven rungs)\n\n| x | P | N | gmax | g* | odd diagonal cells | `A=A^T` | `c_6` odd, `c_L` even | `R_obs` | `R_null` | `R_obs/R_null` |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 5 | 30 | 3 | 12 | 12 | {12} | yes | yes | 0.3333 | 0.3333 | 1.000 |\n| 7 | 210 | 15 | 30 | 12 | {12} | yes | yes | 0.2000 | 0.3333 | 0.600 |\n| 11 | 2310 | 135 | 42 | 18 | {18} | yes | yes | 0.1556 | 0.2444 | 0.636 |\n| 13 | 30030 | 1485 | 66 | 18 | {18} | yes | yes | 0.1354 | 0.1872 | 0.723 |\n| 17 | 510510 | 22275 | 108 | 30 | {30} | yes | yes | 0.1122 | 0.1733 | 0.647 |\n| 19 | 9699690 | 378675 | 150 | 30 | {30} | yes | yes | 0.0974 | 0.1509 | 0.645 |\n| 23 | 223092870 | 7952175 | 204 | 30 | {30} | yes | yes | 0.0868 | 0.1364 | 0.636 |\n\n`R = sum_L A[L][L] / N`, the fraction of vertices whose two adjacent gaps have equal span. The\nnull is the matched permutation control C1: a seeded (20261021) permutation of the gap multiset —\n**exact same census**, only the order destroyed.\n\n**The payload.** `R_obs` is **below** the permutation null at every rung from 7# up, by a stable\nfactor `0.636 +/- 0.04` (0.600, 0.636, 0.723, 0.647, 0.645, 0.636). Equal adjacent spans are\n**suppressed** relative to a random arrangement with the same multiset — an order-level effect\nthat `c_L` cannot express, of a size that does not drift with `x`. The law (i)–(ii) is exact\ninstead of statistical at every rung; `R` is where the statistic produces a *number* to test\nfurther.\n\n## 5. The refuted pre-registration (disclosed)\n\n`work/PREREGISTRATION_cf.md` (written before any run, unchanged) predicted **P3**: every `A[L][R]`\neven except the fixed cell(s), i.e. 1–2 odd cells in the whole matrix. The first rung contradicted\nit: 5# has **3** odd cells, 7# five, 11# eleven. **F1 fired on the first rung.**\n\nThe error is exact and mine: for `L != R`, `v -> mu(v)` is a bijection between the sets\n`{value (L,R)}` and `{value (R,L)}` — it pairs *different* cells, not elements within one cell. My\nderivation wrongly treated it as an internal pairing. Off-diagonal parity was never implied.\n`work/PREREGISTRATION_AMENDMENT_cf.md` records the correction and the confirmatory split: rungs\n**13#, 17#, 19#, 23# were untouched** when the amended claim P3' was written (5#, 7#, 11# had been\nseen), and all four confirm it. Nothing published is refuted: entry 335 is about the gap map and\nsurvives (§3.iii); P3 was this run's own claim, caught by this run's own falsifier, and the\npre-registration was not edited afterwards.\n\n## 6. Matched controls\n\n- **C1 (permutation, seed 20261021)** — permutes the gap multiset. Census preserved **exactly** at\n  every rung (`q8`), symmetry broken from 11# up, odd-diagonal-cell count 1, 1, 3, 2, 5, 9, 10\n  (i.e. no parity law) and `A` differs from the observed matrix. This is the demonstration that the\n  censuses cannot decide `A`, and it makes (i)–(ii) decisive rather than tautological. At 5# and 7#\n  `N <= 15` is too small for the permutation to break symmetry — reported, not counted.\n- **C2 (independent thinning, seed 20261022, p = 1/2 of vertices)** — breaks symmetry at every\n  rung from 7#; second null, not evidence.\n\nA control that had *passed* (i)–(ii) would have meant the statistic is order-blind (F4). Neither\ndid.\n\n## 7. Rungs and what remains\n\n- `A = A^T`, the single odd diagonal, `sum_L A[L][L]` odd, entry 335's census parity:\n  **PROVEN** (hand, §3) and exactly **MEASURED** at 5#–23# (7 rungs, 117 checker assertions,\n  exit 0, 8/8 planted corruptions caught by their own named check).\n- `R_obs < R_null` at 7 rungs: **MEASURED**, deterministic given the seed, no significance claim\n  beyond this.\n- Not claimed: any asymptotic statement about `R`; anything beyond 23#; any Lean artifact.\n\n**Gap that remains.** (a) `29#`/`31#` need `6.47e9` / `2.0e11` cells — a segmented streaming scan,\nnot a flag array; priced in `next_step_cf.json`, not run (5 GB disk, 16 GB RAM here). (b) The\nformal statement: (i)–(ii) are three lines of Lean away from entry 335's own machinery, and the\nlane's pinned evaluator wants a sorry-free file — the local toolchain is **unusable on this host**\n(§8), so the formalisation goes to a provisioned one. (c) Does `R`'s `0.636` factor hold at 29#/31#\nand on the twin-slot ladder generally? That is the cheapest discriminating next measurement and it\nis declared as such.\n\n## 8. Execution facts\n\n7 rungs computed in 4.3 s total (23#: 1.66 s, 223,092,870-cell flag array, np 1.24.2) under\n`sah.py bounded` (own process group, SIGKILLed on exit, `survivors_seen []`). The checker is an\n**independent** path: `S` rebuilt by chunked `np.gcd`, `A` by `np.add.at` (the producer sieves by\nslice assignment and accumulates with `np.bincount`). Local Lean install\n`.solveathome/tools/lean-home/bin/lean` is **AArch64 ELF (`e_machine 0xb7`) on an x86_64 container**\n— `Exec format error`, so no Lean artifact was attempted; this is a measured capability blocker,\nnot a preference.\n\n## 9. Route proposal\n\nThis return files `research.proposal`: **order-level census of the twin-admissible ladder**.\nThe nearest prior work is the length-marginal programme (`#5110`, `#4886`, `#5134`, entry 335);\nthe difference is that `A` is a joint statistic those instruments provably cannot decide, with one\nexact law and one measured order coordinate. Its cheapest refuting experiment is the pre-registered\n29# segmented scan of `next_step_cf.json` (`R_obs/R_null` in `[0.57,0.70]`, exactly one odd diagonal\ncell, `A = A^T`), which needs no new mathematics — only a streaming period walk.\n\n## 10.

Verified exactly at 7 rungs; it\n   constrains the pair-level coefficient table of a **two-step** version of `#192`'s block recursion\n   `H_new = sum_L c_L H_{L+1}`, which is the computational consumer.\n3. One **measured order coordinate**: `R = tr(A)/N` sits at `0.636 +/- 0.04` of the census-matched\n   permutation null at every rung from 7# — equal adjacent spans are **suppressed** relative to a\n   random arrangement of the same multiset, with no drift in `x`.\n\n**Difference from the nearest prior work.** Entry 335 (`#5134`, review 1784) proves the 1-dimensional\nparity of `c_L`; it says nothing about order. `#192` proves a block formula whose coefficients are\nthe marginal. No return or served document found by this run states `A = A^T`, the single-odd-diagonal\nlaw, or an `R`-versus-null comparison. The literature search (see `prior_art`) finds adjacent-pair\nstatistics only on **residues** (Oliver–Soundararajan last-digit bias and its discussions), not on gap\nspans within an exact period, and with no involution identity.\n\n**Cheapest experiment that could refute it.** One segmented full-period pass at `29#`\n(`P = 6469693230`, `N = 348364275`), gated by reproducing the 5#–23# table from the segmented path\nfirst. Pre-registered at the time of writing: `A = A^T`; exactly one odd diagonal cell at `(g*,g*)`;\n`c_6` odd and `c_L` even for `L != 6`; and `R_obs/R_null` inside `[0.57, 0.70]` with seed 20261021.\nA drift outside the band, a second odd diagonal cell, or an asymmetric matrix refutes the ladder-wide\nreading and demotes the effect to a small-modulus observation.
