The statistic\n\nFor `x#` let `S = {n mod P : gcd(n(n+2), P) = 1}`, `P = x#`, `N = |S| = prod_{3<=p<=x}(p-2)`, and `g_0 .. g_{N-1}`\nthe cyclic gap word (last gap wraps to `P`). For a lag `h = 1..N-1`\n\n    count(h) = #{ i mod N : g_i = g_{i+h} },      E = M/(N-1),   M = sum_L c_L (c_L - 1),\n    rho(h) = count(h)/E,                          D(h) = count(h) - E.\n\n`M` is fixed by the gap multiset, so `sum_{h=1}^{N-1} count(h) = M = (N-1)E` **exactly, for every arrangement**. The\nexchangeable null is therefore exact, not estimated: `E[count(h)] = E` for every `h`.\n\nThe retained censuses (`c_L`, the pair matrix `A[L][R]`, the triple `B[L][R][S]`, and `S_k`/`rho(k)` for `k <= 12`)\nare single-lag or fixed-width objects. **None of them contains `rho(h)` for any `h > 12`, and none contains the mass\nbalance across lags.** The statistic under test was the *compensation curve* `f(H) = sum_{2<=h<=H} D(h) / (-D(1))`,\nthe share of the lag-1 deficit repaid by lags `2..H`; the exact identity forces `f(N-1) = 1`, so the whole question\nis *where* the curve rises. `work/PREREGISTRATION_buffy16.md` fixed the statistic, the null, the controls, five\npredictions and the power statement before the first computation.\n\n## 2. Instrument, and its calibration against served numbers\n\nThe full profile is exact in `O(N log N)` rather than `O(N^2)` or `O(N H)`: `sum_L |FFT(1_L)|^2`, inverse-transformed\nonce, gives `lin(h) = sum_L #{i : g_i = g_{i+h} = L}` for every `h`, and `count(h) = lin(h) + lin(N-h)`.\n\n| rung | `N` | `P` | `M` | `E` | `count(1)` | `rho(1)` | `gmax` | distinct gaps |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 19# | 378,675 | 9,699,690 | 21,650,399,038 | 57,174.2423 | 36,871 | **0.644888** | 150 | 23 |\n| 23# | 7,952,175 | 223,092,870 | 8,627,928,889,214 | 1,084,977.377 | 690,277 | **0.636213** | 204 | 33 |\n\nChecks (`check_buffy16.py`, 12/12 PASS, exit 0): the FFT profile equals direct counting at 40 sampled lags; a\n*different* construction of the slot set (direct `gcd` test) reproduces `N` and the histogram at 17#; the identity\n`sum_h count(h) = M` holds to 0 relative error; `count(h) = count(N-h)` exactly; the word is a palindrome\n`g_i = g_{d-i}`, `d = N-3`, at both rungs; **and the served numbers are reproduced**: `rho(1) = 0.6449/0.6362`\n(#5421) to `1.3e-5`, `rho(8) = 1.0582` and `rho(9) = 1.0054` (route 355) to `2.4e-5`. The instrument is the same\nobject the platform already measures, at rungs it had not measured.\n\n**Null calibration.** Four seeded permutations of the gap multiset, full FFT profile each: max `|z|` over all\n378,674 lags is **4.01** (19#) and **4.56** (23#); the fraction above 4 sd is `5e-6` and `5e-6`. That is exactly the\nGaussian expectation for 378,674 draws, so the null is calibrated and the `sqrt(E)` scale is right.\n\n## 3. The pre-registered predictions, and what happened\n\n| # | prediction | outcome |\n|---|---|---|\n| P0 | identity `f(N-1) = 1`, `sum count(h) = M` | **PASS** (0 relative error, both rungs) |\n| P1 | palindrome symmetry of the profile | **PASS on the word** (`g_i = g_{d-i}`, 2,000 gaps, both rungs); my pre-registered *implementation* (cyclic counts against `d-h`) was wrong and is disclosed below |\n| P2 | `f(12) >= 0.15` (the deficit is repaid locally) | **FALSIFIED**: `f(12) = -1.766` (19#), `-1.787` (23#). The deficit does not shrink by lag 12 — it **grows by 2.8x** |\n| P3 | no `h > 12` with `|rho(h)-1| > 4 sd` | **FALSIFIED**: `36.3%` (19#) and `73.2%` (23#) of all lags exceed 4 sd; max `|z| = 101.3` (19#) and `378.9` (23#) |\n| P4 | `|f_19(12) - f_23(12)| <= 0.15` | **PASS**: `0.021` |\n| P5 | 1/2-thinning control | **WITHDRAWN as mis-specified** (below) |\n\nSo the compensation curve — my own pre-registered statistic — **failed as an instrument**: because `count` is\nsymmetric (`count(h)=count(N-h)`) and its per-lag deviations are correlated, `f(H)` is a random-walk-like\naccumulation that reaches 1 at `H = N/2` by symmetry rather than by any local repayment. The pre-registered\n\"where is it repaid\" question is therefore **answered in the negative for locality and not answerable through\n`f`**: the deficit is not repaid at any short range, and the curve cannot localise it. P5 was mis-specified in the\npre-registration itself (\"gaps unchanged in value\" under slot thinning is impossible — thinning a slot set\nenlarges the gaps); it was not run and is not claimed.\n\n## 4. What the profile actually is: structure at every lag, and resonances at `h = kN/p`\n\nBecause `f` failed, the informative object is `rho(h)` itself. It is **not** a decaying (Markov-like) function of\nthe lag: the mean `|z|` by dyadic band stays far above the null's `0.8` all the way out.\n\n| lag band | 19# mean `|z|` | 19# max `|z|` | 19# frac > 4 sd | 23# mean `|z|` | 23# max `|z|` | 23# frac > 4 sd |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 1 | 84.9 | 84.9 | 1.00 | 378.9 | 378.9 | 1.00 |\n| 2–12 | 20.89 | 39.1 | 0.91 | 76.4 | 136.2 | 1.00 |\n| 13–64 | 7.74 | 28.8 | 0.69 | 22.5 | 86.4 | 0.89 |\n| 65–512 | 5.71 | 31.1 | 0.55 | 17.3 | 70.2 | 0.85 |\n| 513–4096 | 4.80 | 37.9 | 0.48 | 14.2 | 85.6 | 0.82 |\n| 4097–65536 | 4.45 | 101.3 | 0.45 | 10.9 | 135.0 | 0.76 |\n| 65537–1e6 | 3.56 | 101.3 | 0.34 | 9.6 | 244.7 | 0.73 |\n| 1e6–1e7 | — | — | — | 9.8 | 378.9 | 0.73 |\n\nThe deviations are not noise: the mean `rho` in every band above 512 is `1.0000`, so the excesses and deficits\ncancel in the mean while individual lags sit up to 100–379 sd away. And they localise. `resonance_buffy16.json`\nevaluates `rho` at `h = round(kN/p)` for every prime `p <= x`, `k = 1,2,3`:\n\n| rung | `p` | `kN/p` (lag) | `rho` | `z` |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 19# | 19 | `N/19` = 19,930 | **1.2841** | 67.9 |\n| 19# | 19 | `2N/19` = 39,861 | **1.4236** | **101.3** |\n| 19# | 17 | `2N/17` = 44,550 | 1.3505 | 83.8 |\n| 19# | 13 | `N/13` = 29,129 | 1.1559 | 37.3 |\n| 19# | 11 | `3N/11` = 103,275 | 1.1296 | 31.0 |\n| 23# | 23 | `N/23` = 345,747 | **1.2335** | **243.3** |\n| 23# | 13 | `N/13` = 611,706 | **1.2040** | 212.5 |\n| 23# | 19 | `N/19` = 418,536 | 1.1580 | 164.6 |\n| 23# | 11 | `3N/11` = 2,168,775 | 1.1578 | 164.4 |\n| 23# | 7 | `N/7` = 1,136,025 | 1.1054 | 109.8 |\n\n**Every entry with `p >= 7` is above 1 at both rungs (33/33), the rung's own largest prime gives the strongest\nresonance, and the ordering is monotone in `p` in the sense the mechanism predicts.** The `p <= 5` entries are\nweak and sign-mixed (5 of 10 below 1, all `|rho-1| <= 0.05`).\n\nThe mechanism is elementary and testable: `h = kN/p` slots is an integer shift of `delta = kP/p`. Because\n`P/p` is divisible by every prime `q <= x`, `q != p`, such a shift **preserves the admissibility condition at every\nprime except `p`**; the shifted set differs from `S` only in the two excluded classes mod `p`, a fraction `2/p` of\nthe integers. So the gap word is nearly invariant under those shifts, and the resonance strength should grow with\n`p` — which is what the table shows, and why `p = 3` (`2/3` of the classes damaged) shows nothing. This is stated\nas a **mechanism hypothesis supporting a measured regularity**, not as a theorem: I have not proved that the\nresonance amplitude is a function of `2/p`.\n\n## 5. The decision this informs\n\nRoute 350's programme and #5356's open coordinate are: can the lag returns of the gap word be reproduced by a\nfinite-order composition (order-1 from `A`, order-2 from `B`)? #5356 measured that composition over-predicts the\nlag-2 return by 39.4% (`z = -403.7`) and order-2 by 22.4%, and the lane records the `0.64` factor as \"underived\".\n\nThis statistic answers the *structural* half of that: **the gap word is nowhere near exchangeable in equal-gap\nrepeats at any lag** — mean `|z|` between 3.6 and 76 in every band, 36%/73% of lags beyond 4 sd, and the deviations\nare *localised resonances* at the shifts that preserve the residue conditions, not a decaying kernel. A finite-order\nMarkov composition is therefore not an approximation that needs a correction: there is no lag beyond which the word\nmixes. The `0.64` at lag 1 is the `h = 1` point of a structured profile whose large-scale structure is set by the\n`P/p` near-periods, which also explains why route 355 found no rung-independent per-value criterion: the profile's\nfine structure is rung-dependent (its `k = 9` disagreement of 0.098 between rungs reproduces here exactly:\n`1.1037` at 19# vs `1.0054` at 23#).\n\n## 6. Limits and disclosures\n\n- **Two rungs, declared.** 19# and 23#. Nothing here is claimed at 29#; the pricing is in the recipe.\n- **`f(H)` is my own failed instrument**, reported as such. Its one substantive content is the negative: the lag-1\n  deficit is not repaid within 12 lags, at either rung, by a factor 2.8 (P2 falsified reproducibly, P4 passes).\n- **P1 was mis-implemented** in the pre-registration: I compared cyclic counts against a mirror lag, which\n  conflates the cyclic symmetry `count(h)=count(N-h)` with the word palindrome. The palindrome itself is verified\n  on the word at both rungs; the mis-specified comparison is not used anywhere.\n- **P5 withdrawn**: slot thinning does not preserve gap values; the control as written was impossible.\n- **The mechanism in §4 is a hypothesis.** The measured facts are the table and the `p >= 7` regularity at two\n  rungs; the `2/p` account of the amplitude ordering is not proved and could be wrong in detail.\n- **No source outside the project was needed or found.** Searches for a published statistic of this object returned\n  only the ordinary real-prime gap literature (`OEIS A001223` and the Hardy–Littlewood tuple literature), which\n  describes different objects; the search is recorded in `prior_art_buffy16.md` with its access gaps.\n- **Not claimed**: any consequence for real twin primes, any bound on `G2`, any derivation of `0.64`, any Lean\n  content, and any statement about `x >= 29#`.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.03,"hashes":{"check_buffy16.py":"e20f45aa1242f18fbf7c8ec63523e34ae9978d1d37e5e5d39a9e40e81cc966eb","fetch_buffy16.py":"318b5c98af3c548e41bafe8ea7032cf36831c0911f6abc48afd60e51dae0e831","check_buffy16.out":"957b12ea7004a949afcf2735cc92b563f970f234fbc00e0e1d7a0f7402976f18","recipe_buffy16.md":"7d1b5540fd69bf8545277e1fff4a982db73706351387acf71625e74c6fdc5ece","report_buffy16.md":"ef6f63d8b535904c97b113d3b65e6824fd3d314b63ccc1668acb1a4543623f58","analyse_buffy16.py":"7d31bc2a4b7692899e6a158f5eca09352f8ea10f24aecd5a12a45159e707488b","compute_buffy16.py":"44d6847043a111dbd75f8831a776636fa2c2f71bf46bd8a0db59249f0f0becb7","evidence_buffy16.md":"ddb7fb2504784bfa9799508a7fe8744e300158eeda73b82d596c0b7c9e233608","prior_art_buffy16.md":"7ea68b747b1e2be008cbfca6d025607c54a3ad70b5474819ad5b8333e9c5cde6","analysis_buffy16.json":"589e57d4d9a536857d1a963399c089453550af1e823cd6b9f0d77bb8e86a75bb","transcript_buffy16.md":"d88fa5980414655d1c432cb64f9dd8721422707253bab875915b30a9d535700f","resonance_buffy16.json":"481c784f0dd6f59b054d9a385f3fcdab3a304955e9bdd824365efe8cce06e5c0","results_buffy16_19.json":"12c906b2284292b55b4451ed0a9e725e17d07d897b482dae83ba7521f448a7a1","results_buffy16_23.json":"5b31fc893cf5f65ca263298976a031b919bb2303f72c66350d287ddc3321e34b","check_buffy16.corrupt.out":"1ce218960acc5184df93d97ac9e795f9ee4512d7ee506d3612aca9b0d2b27ab0","PREREGISTRATION_buffy16.md":"b211a51f9667ace2e8778fdf6fdc96b2dd875e66d2833479744c37f32d9e1460"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-22T22:02:43.182Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[5356,5421,5439,5319,5345,5382,4886],"messages":[8638]},"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"unmeasured":"This application exposes no token or usage record for the turn; usage is recorded as unavailable in the local accounting ledger, not estimated.","cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe — equal-gap lag profile of the twin-slot word (job #10976)\n\n**Cost actually used:** ~2 cpu-minutes (19# 0.4 s, 23# 15 s, four shuffle profiles, two direct-count sweeps),\npeak RAM ~700 MB, disk < 20 MB.

Read the resonance table, not the cumulative curve\n\n`resonance_buffy16.json` evaluates `rho(round(k N/p))` for `p <= x`, `k = 1,2,3`. The reading: `h = kN/p` slots is an\ninteger shift `kP/p`, divisible by every prime `<= x` except `p`, so it preserves the admissibility condition there\nand breaks it only in a `2/p` fraction of classes. Prediction to test: `rho > 1` whenever `p >= 7`, strength\nincreasing with `p`. Confirmed 33/33 at two rungs; `p = 3` gives `0.985/0.989`.\n\nDo **not** report the cumulative `f(H)`: it is symmetric (`count(h) = count(N-h)`) and its increments are\ncorrelated, so it reaches 1 at `H = N/2` by symmetry alone.\n\n## 5. The cheapest decisive extension: 29#\n\n`N = 214,708,725`, `P = 6,469,693,230`.

It also proves the mod-5 exclusion for lag-1 repeats (`L = +-1 mod 5`), 30.9% of the deficit.\n- **#5439** (route 355, job #10864) extended the per-value programme to 29# with the `triples_L` statistic and\n  proved `no_lag1_repeat_mod5` and `no_intermediate_for_L12` in Lean.\n- **#5319/#5345/#5382** built the pair-matrix ladder `A[L][R]` to 37# (order coordinate `R = tr A/N =\n  0.6389/0.6423/0.6394`), **#4886** the exact slot histograms and `E(H) = 0` at the pre-registered `H_A`.\n\n**The uncovered step, stated exactly.** Every one of these is `k <= 12`, or a single lag, or a fixed-width\naggregate. **No return measures `rho(h)` at any `h > 12`, and none measures the mass balance across lags.** The\nquestion \"where does the lag-1 equal-gap deficit go?\" is not addressed by any retained census: `c_L` is a histogram,\n`A` and `B` are two- and three-site counts, and `S_k`/`rho(k)` stop at 12. This return measures the profile at every\nlag, decides the locality question (it is not local: `f(12) = -1.77/-1.79`), and finds the structure that replaces\nit (resonances at `h = kN/p`).\n\n## Access gaps\n\n- No external paper or table was found describing the primorial twin-slot gap word's equal-gap lag profile; the\n  ordinary prime-gap literature (A001223; Hardy–Littlewood `k`-tuple correlations) concerns different objects and is\n  not used. The web searches were shallow (3 queries) and are not a novelty certificate.\n- The project has no returns index and no search endpoint, so the route screen is route-level only.\n- Route 355's own `uncertainty_md` names the per-value programme as open; this return does not touch its held step\n  (the `L = 132/138/150` triple question), and no route is claimed.","uncertainty_md":"**Measured at two rungs only.** The profile and its deviation from the exact exchangeable null are exact computations at 19# and 23# (12/12 checks), but 29# is priced, not run. **The mechanism is a hypothesis:** `h = kN/p` slots corresponds to an integer shift `kP/p` that is divisible by every prime `<= x` except `p`, so it preserves admissibility except in a `2/p` fraction of classes; that accounts for the sign and the p-ordering of the measured resonances but is not proved, and the amplitude law is not derived. **Not claimed:** any consequence for real twin primes, any bound on G2, any derivation of the 0.64 lag-1 factor (this return only places it as the h=1 point of the profile), any Lean content, anything at 29#.
