Headline\n\nWith `M^{cap} := J_cap / I_cap` rebuilt from the served artifacts (§2):\n\n| quantity | exact value |\n|---|---|\n| `J_cap` | `+1.227944196333143517003246987284472135245e-93` |\n| `I_cap` | `+3.221621944211201549741047223202908812272e-94` |\n| **`M^{cap}`** | **`3.811571368700121254827906575906508…`** |\n| `1/A = 10000/2583` | `3.8714672861014323…` |\n| **deficit `1/A − M^{cap}`** | **`+5.9895917401311188067e-02`** |\n| midpoint `10166/2583` | `3.935733643050716…` |\n| headroom `mid − M^{cap}` | `+1.2416227435059496662e-01` |\n| `4` | headroom `4 − M^{cap}` = `+1.8842863129987874517e-01` |\n| `Q = J_cap − (1/A)·I_cap` | `−1.929620018687256884307404376582163644329e-95` |\n| `Q_4 = J_cap − 4·I_cap` | `−6.070458135133710289317190199669138966336e-95` |\n\nSo `M^{cap} < 1/A < mid < 4`: the row is **outside** the convention window `(1/A, 4)`, on the low side,\nand it **fails at both anchors**. Its negative verdict is therefore **anchor-independent**: the row's\nclassification does not depend on which normalisation the witness is quoted at. The deficit is\n`0.466` of the whole anchor gap `4 − 1/A = 332/2583 = 0.1285327…`, and it exceeds the record's\n7-significant-digit resolution (`≈5e-7`) by a factor `1.2e5` — the classification cannot be a rounding\nartefact of the numbers as quoted.\n\nThis is the step's `success` branch, not its `stop_if`: the `stop_if` needs `M^{cap} ∈ (1/A, 10166/2583)`,\nand `M^{cap}` lies `0.0599` below the window floor.\n\n## 2. What was recomputed, and from what\n\nNo producer is re-run and no contraction pass is repeated. Everything is `Fraction` arithmetic on served\nbytes:\n\n1. **Matrices.** `gram-E-k46-b64-part*.txt` and `gram-Delta-k46-b64-part*.txt` (12 parts each, served by\n   #1942, sha256-verified one file at a time) are base64 of the gzipped exact upper triangles. Decoded:\n   two `374 × 374` upper triangles, `70,125` entries each, exact rationals.\n   Pinned: `E` decoded-JSON sha256 `b9fa07ead97e9d40…`, `Delta` `2d6f2671a3166238…`.\n2. **Witness.** `reoptimised-witness-d17.json` (sha256 `7699b2cf4a11b8eb…`) — `k = 46`, `eps = 25/861`,\n   `d = 17`, `n = 374`, all `374` coefficients nonzero exact rationals, with the record's exact uncapped and\n   capped scalars.\n3. **The capped pair.** `J_cap = J_0 + k·c*ᵀE_sym c*` and `I_cap = I_0 − c*ᵀDelta_sym c*` with `k = 46`.\n   Recomputed: `c*ᵀE c* = −6.615005160282038495004562044852255440247e-97` (so `k·c*ᵀE c* =\n   −3.042902373729737707702098540632037502514e-95`) and `c*ᵀDelta c* = +4.221730319059834399239769339003609417031e-96`.\n4. **The identities hold exactly, not approximately.** `J_0 + 46·c*ᵀE c*` equals the record's `J_cap`\n   **as a rational**, and `I_0 − c*ᵀDelta c*` equals the record's `I_cap` **as a rational**, to the last\n   digit of 180-odd-digit numerators. `Q` at `1/A` recomputed from the pair equals the record's exact\n   `Q_cap_minus_tau` exactly, and the record's own exact `quotient_cap` string equals `J_cap/I_cap` exactly.\n   The record's quoted double `3.8115713687001214` is the nearest `float64` to the exact quotient.\n\nThe two identities are the substantive test: the capped correction is *linear* in the served matrices, so a\nwrong triangular convention, a dropped factor `k`, a mis-indexed entry or a different witness would all\nbreak them; none does, and the corruption sweep (§6) shows each of those faults is caught.\n\n## 3. The same pair on the #1606 witness, now exact too\n\nThe register also carries #1641's `J_cap/I_cap = 3.7642958695423…` and #1869's `J_cap/I_0 =\n3.5796230066864503…` for the #1606 witness `c0`. Both are recomputable exactly from exact recorded strings\n(#1869 `I0`, `J0`, `E_total`, `k`; #1641 `Delta`; the two `E_total`/`Delta` values are also identical to\n#1942's `gram-check.json` reproduction strings):\n\n| row (same pair, `k = 46`, `d = 17`) | exact `M^{cap}` | deficit to `1/A` | headroom to mid | headroom to `4` |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| #1606 witness `c0` | `3.7642958695423000884…` | `+1.0717141655913235442e-01` | `+1.7143777350841613297e-01` | `+2.3570413045769991152e-01` |\n| re-optimised `c*` (#1942) | `3.8115713687001212548…` | `+5.9895917401311188067e-02` | `+1.2416227435059496662e-01` | `+1.8842863129987874517e-01` |\n\n`M^{cap}(c0) = 3.7642958695423…` reproduces #1641's quoted float, and `J_cap/I_0 = 3.5796230066864504…`\nreproduces #1869's. So **both** capped rows on the record are anchor-robust by the same margin family; the\nre-optimisation lifts the quotient by exactly `+4.7275499157821166e-02` and still lands `0.0599` short.\n\n## 4. What this changes for the register\n\n* The register's weakest assumption — that a Rayleigh quotient with `I_cap ≈ 1e-94` still has a usable\n  margin — is **discharged for this row**: `I_cap` is an exact positive rational of that order, `J_cap` is\n  exact and positive, the quotient is exact, and the margin is `0.0599` in `M` units, i.e. `10^5` times the\n  quoted precision. There is no cancellation pathology here: the deficit is not a difference of two\n  near-equal large numbers, it is an exact rational comparison.\n* The cap obligation's **entry fee** stays what #4170 said — the gap `4 − 1/A = 332/2583 = 0.1285327…` in\n  `M` units — and this row pays `0.466` of that fee below the floor. A capped witness has to climb\n  `0.0599` to reach `1/A` (the source anchor) and `0.1884` to reach `4` (the standard anchor).\n* **No `rho` for this row.** The register's `|Q_4|/Q_{1/A}` is defined only for a positive margin; here both\n  `Q`'s are negative, so the literal absolute ratio (`3.14593447225…`) is a ratio of two negatives and must\n  not be quoted as `rho`. The correct statement is the window position: `M^{cap} < 1/A`.\n* The register's phrase \"about 4 × 10^4 times the row's 7-significant-digit resolution\" is conservative in\n  order but mis-states the factor for the deficit: `0.0598959 / 5e-7 ≈ 1.2e5`. The quoted number itself is\n  unchanged.\n\n## 5. Calibration and limits\n\n* **`M1`, `M2` themselves are not served.** `even_engine.py` and the `ritz_k46_eps25_861_d17.json` witness\n  `c0` live only in #1942's own run directory. So the uncapped part of each row (`I_0`, `J_0`) is #1942's\n  exact recorded scalar; what this run independently recomputes is the entire **capped correction**\n  (`46·c*ᵀE c*`, `c*ᵀDelta c*`), which is where an assembly error would sit, plus the whole quotient and its\n  distances. Stated as a coverage limit, not glossed: this is a *re-derivation of the capped row from the\n  served witness and matrices*, not a fresh build of the uncapped engine.\n* Consequently #1942's own `gram-check.json` reproduction strings (`c0ᵀE c0`, `c0ᵀDelta c0`) are **quoted,\n  not re-evaluated** here — the `c0` vector is not served. What *is* re-derived for `c0` is its quotient\n  from exact recorded scalars (§3), which matches #1641's float.\n* One witness, one basis (`n = 374`, `d = 17`), one `eps = 25/861`, one `k = 46`. Nothing here says the cap\n  obligation is unreachable: a larger basis, a different `d`, or a different `eps` is outside this claim.\n  #1942's own finite-spectrum diagnostic (`3.799…3.812`) already says the `d = 17` basis is close to its own\n  ceiling; this row's `0.0599` shortfall sits inside that diagnostic's noise, which is a reason to expect a\n  larger basis, not a smaller one, to be the next place to look.\n* No Lean, no kernel claim, no asymptotic claim, no statement about `G2`, `beta_2` or twin-prime infinitude.\n\n## 6. Verification\n\n`check_buffy10.py` recomputes every quoted number from the served bytes with a **second** implementation of\nthe quadratic form (dense pair loop, no non-zero shortcut) and re-runs every check against deliberately\ncorrupted inputs: **18/18 checks PASS, exit 0**, and **10/10 injected faults caught, 0 missed**\n(`check_buffy10.out`). Faults include a swapped `E` entry, `Delta` diagonal doubled, a `1e-40` witness\nperturbation, the identity without the factor `k`, `J_cap/I_0` in place of `J_cap/I_cap`, the deficit\nmeasured against `4`, a flipped `Q` sign, a perturbed midpoint headroom, `I_cap` replaced by `I_0`, and a\n`1e-6` move of #1641's `Delta`.\n\n## 7. Next concrete step\n\nThe register now has both capped rows priced exactly. The next worthwhile step is the one the numbers\npoint at: **does the cap obligation's ceiling move with the basis?** Concretely, rebuild the exact uncapped\npair `M1, M2` for `d = 19` (or the next even basis) on the same capped support and ask whether the\n`d = 17` shortfall `0.0599` shrinks or grows; the `d = 17` finite-spectrum diagnostic bounds the gain\ninside this basis, so a cross-basis comparison is the only informative direction. That is a new job, not\npart of this return.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.02,"hashes":{"check_buffy10.py":"6a6c30e4311e49079a10578a5e104327e31153f5e9e2beab2dbcfc783d90b3bb","fetch_buffy10.py":"3c4dff318136e62e39dae8ce7aaa66fc59afaa25542baf6a3a36748ba1a5e9b4","fetch_index.json":"b3ed88122bd1705985a210d7f157a70df1e2c5d39e52d628e9230e889dd3590b","check_buffy10.out":"b14304faa72eccc3fa560062971e5b9a6ad9ce24175e5f16a6aeaee97331d275","derive_buffy10.py":"d82ec143d54b882f8b427a82f5afdf2d6057d00c4873762958d16d0507ea6184","pins_buffy10.json":"040129f5ebe64de61939b6c73df2b2d100ef55eabce97e77d3f59f00b2488a4c","recipe_buffy10.md":"d66b5c157ddac94369892e3de30cbf24d38c8a701b780e63dde46a18a77cc40a","report_buffy10.md":"c809803682a3e5e5085eef2b1cff55bbed8ca718b92bdabda6563c41cbb01d9d","derive_buffy10.out":"c79a00c0c5cb9bd5eff2f000a4283fb95f97daae82acba8a0497199bca2c7a54","evidence_buffy10.md":"fb9a69d56eef92f0a6816920ac938fe955be4a4c683dd65eb4c8256961b96b71","prior_art_buffy10.md":"abffd7cca4b8bfdf960834b33de4e9e952d632200f516dfefecad5ea36b8b222","analysis_buffy10.json":"8629c3fbe0515803b997af97482a86bd6fc579d45be721dee88eeb954a43dd75","transcript_buffy10.md":"73d651252587d423f06e2c8009b45a02504ce1b02ba96602b7629bfe2f6f41f4"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"pending","final_rung":null,"created_at":"2026-10-22T18:51:13.594Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[1942,1869,1641,1606,4170,4162,2577],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"unmeasured":"this application exposes no per-assignment token totals: chat-meta.json and the log.jsonl rows carry no usage counters, so usage is reported as unmeasured rather than invented","cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# recipe_buffy10 — how to reproduce job #10936's capped-row re-derivation\n\nEverything below is read-only on the server; no producer is re-run.\n\n1. **Fetch the artifacts** (server root `/files/<sha256>`, bearer token from the environment; the run's\n   `fetch_buffy10.py` does this and writes `fetch_index.json`, 51 files, 0 hash mismatches):\n   - from return **1942**: `reoptimised-witness-d17.json` (`7699b2cf4a11b8eb491d59181f8f0aa17f9907346ea4ffe2e0f634208baf2875`),\n     `gram-E-k46-b64-partaa..al.txt` (12 parts), `gram-Delta-k46-b64-partaa..al.txt` (12 parts),\n     `gram-check.json` (`42832ea110b0ca62d0df0153dfed509c4f655a4008512ed62c963043bc055476`);\n   - from return **1869**: `compact46-d17.json` (`6aced89645b5d60b9c6522fcc355442f32f71a86bf189ed14566417c8a02e7f7`);\n   - from return **1641**: `certificate-d17.json` (`906768338baab31fcd39055ead14aaf570fd8646b3ff356138aa0f9a4add498d`).\n2. **Decode the Gram pair.** Concatenate the parts in `aa..al` order (byte order, not line order), base64-decode\n   the whole concatenation, gunzip, `json.loads`.

This return is the\n  exact re-derivation it asked for; it confirms the number, refines the deficit to\n  `5.9895917401311188067e-02`, makes the divisor `I_cap` exact, and adds the #1606-witness row exactly.\n\n**What is new here.** (i) The two capped identities are verified as exact rational identities, not as\nagreement at printed precision. (ii) The capped row's position against `1/A`, the midpoint and `4` is given\nas exact deficits, including the divisor's exactness at `I_cap ≈ 3.22e-94`. (iii) The second capped row\n(#1606 witness) is priced exactly, so the register's cap track has two anchor-robust rows rather than one.\n(iv) A negative statement that matters for the register: `rho = |Q_4|/Q_{1/A}` is undefined on this row,\nbecause both `Q`'s are negative.\n\n**Not prior art / not claimed.** No source-normalisation literature is re-read; the convention itself\n(`1/A` vs `4`) is taken from #1606/#1599 as settled.
