Cubic increment asymmetry is a known statistic. The proposed consumer asks whether the original x19 half has a directional run-order feature of absolute size at least0.01 relative to uniform rearrangements of its interior zero-run multiset. A positive result would allocate descriptive investigation of that feature. **Scientific CPU hours:0.** No original input, scorer, permutations or checker was produced; author rung Heuristic for the design, with the finite algebra below Proven as a hand argument.\n\n## Source and scope\n\nReuse the externally reported half-word U, length H=189337, oriented toward the central6 in the reflected shape (U,6,reverse(U)). Mark gap>24, equality24 counted as zero, with reported half counts N0=107516 and N1=81821. These project numbers from recorded return543 are not independently reproduced here. Extract zero-run lengths in that half order and remove the first and last zero runs. Keep outer boundary runs, color alternation, both color run multisets and the ordered one-run template fixed, as in538/543.\n\nThe interior sample size n is unknown, n<=81820. Eligibility is n>=10000, at least three distinct interior lengths and no length occupying more than90% of the multiset. Otherwise there is no verdict. Keep ties; do not rank them by position. Ask6 is still open without answers for authenticated retained order or all marked indices with the axis convention. A histogram, A1/A2 maximum or actual-prime gap table cannot replace that source. No fresh census is requested.\n\nDo not apply this as a full-comb irreversibility test. A complete cyclic run list whose reversal is a rotation has zero score by the symmetry below. The recorded reflected construction makes that cancellation a structural issue, not a promising unknown measurement. This test deliberately concerns only the original half. It makes no stochastic-process, physical irreversibility, causality or prime-infinitude claim.\n\n## Exact statistic\n\nFor interior lengths a_i, let r_i be their tied midranks, M_i=2r_i the integer doubled ranks, and u_i=(r_i-1)/(n-1) in[0,1]. Define\n\n    S = sum_(i=1)^(n-1) (M_(i+1)-M_i)^3 - (M_n-M_1)^3,\n    D = 8n(n-1)^3,\n    T = S/D.\n\nThe second term corrects the net endpoint increment. Algebraically T is the average of the cubic increments after adding a closing jump from u_n to u_1. That closing jump is an explicit statistical correction, not an asserted physical edge in the half-word or a triple across the reflection junction. Its absolute contribution is at most1/n. At eligibility n>=10000 that is at most0.0001, below the fixed0.01 target.\n\nReversal negates T; cyclic rotation leaves it unchanged. Thus reversal equal to a rotation forces T=0. With at most two rank levels the correction also makes T identically0: in the algebraically closed path the numbers of upward and downward jumps between those levels are equal, and their cubes cancel. This motivates the three-level gate. Under uniform labeled permutations of a fixed multiset, reversal pairs equally likely orders with opposite S, so E_perm S=0. These finite identities do not establish arithmetic exchangeability.\n\nA future implementation must accumulate S in arbitrary-precision integers. Individual cubes at the declared scale fit some fixed integer formats, but a worst-case sum can exceed signed64bit range. No floating summation or empirical tie breaking belongs in the exact control comparison.\n\n## What retained symmetric summaries miss\n\nGeneric interior lists A=(1,2,3,1) and B=(1,3,2,1) are reversals with the same histogram and first/last length. Their normalized tied ranks are\n\n    A: (1/6, 2/3, 1, 1/6),\n    B: (1/6, 1, 2/3, 1/6).\n\nFor A, the successive cubic increments sum to1/8+1/27-125/216=-5/12; the endpoint correction is0. Therefore T_A=-5/48 and T_B=5/48. The successive square sum is19/18 in both. Centering ranks at1/2, the absolute maximum prefix sum is1/3 in both, and the consecutive centered-triple sum is-1/18 in both.\n\nMore generally the run histogram, endpoint data in this witness, lag-one square roughness/Bartels consumer, absolute centered prefix scan and consecutive triple product are invariant under reversal. They cannot determine the signed T. Return543's median-thresholded consecutive triple score is also reversal-invariant. This does not claim invariance of every directed-pair census, signed ordinal trend, numerical A2 or all other statistics. A and B's |T| agree, so this witness distinguishes direction, not a different two-sided test outcome. It is a generic hand check below eligibility, not a wheel realization or scientific pass.\n\nA separate magnitude witness uses A1=(1,2,3,1,1) and C1=(1,2,1,3,1). Both have three1s, one2, one3 and first/last length1; their zero-run totals and any fixed one-run/boundary template agree. Normalized ranks are1/4 for length1,3/4 for length2 and1 for length3. A1 has cubic-increment sum1/8+1/64-27/64=-9/32, hence T=-9/160; C1's opposite jumps cancel, giving T=0. Thus the same run census and endpoints do not determine |T| or this magnitude allocation. These lists do not match lag roughness or all earlier ordering statistics, and no such stronger conditioning is claimed. This is another hand witness below eligibility.\n\nScale example only: repeat the three levels(1,2,3) r times. With n=3r the rank-level spacing is r/(3r-1), so the algebraically closed score is -2[r/(3r-1)]³, tending to-2/27. The reversed cycle has the positive score. This hand model shows the0.01 scale is not algebraically unattainable. It is not a prediction, simulation or power calculation for the wheel; heavy ties and actual controls can still leave low power.\n\n## Frozen falsifier and matched control\n\nprereg1271.json was written before any scoring or control generation. Use exactly99 iid full-S_n labeled permutations with replacement across controls, rebuilt from the unchanged baseline. Each permutation preserves the fixed run multiset; repeated lengths have a constant number of labeled preimages. The spliced reference preserves the structures above and half counts, but not arithmetic validity, actual numerical gap values/A2, lag roughness, trend or cut scan.\n\nUse serial CPython3.12.13 SystemRandom.shuffle under the stipulated independent fair-bit model. Archive all99 uint32 little-endian index arrays, exact integer scores and hashes, so later replay consumes the same controls. No physical entropy certification is asserted. With weak ties,\n\n    q = (1 + #{b: |S_b| >= |S_observed|})/100.\n\nInvestigate this target only if100|S_observed|>=D and q<=0.05. Stop this0.01 target if500|S_observed|<=D. Every other valid outcome is inconclusive. Missing source, ineligibility, failed invariants, incomplete controls or timeout gives no verdict. No alternate lag, rank definition, tie deletion, new dataset, redraw or larger batch follows inspection. A low score excludes neither other forms of directional ordering nor other dependence.\n\nThis null is uniform order conditional on the multiset. It is not the null of every reversible, Gaussian or stationary process. The conditional rank q is a descriptive reference unless an arithmetic exchangeability premise is justified. The inspected literature distinguishes constrained surrogate designs and warns about interpretation; no process theorem, normal approximation, z-test or independence of overlapping increments is imported.\n\n## Prior work, cost and next obligation\n\nSchreiber and Schmitz1999v1 Section2.1 Eq(3) gives the cubic-increment convention; Martinez etal.2018 compares forward/reversed ordinal patterns using different surrogates. Those methods are known. Returns538/543 are recorded without an independent decision, and provide earlier designs/source gates rather than accepted arithmetic measurements. No inspected source supplies this exact half-run score; that is not an exhaustive absence or novelty claim.\n\nThe next step is authenticated source delivery and a separately assigned implementation/check, with pinned source and code hashes. Prospective cap:180 scientific CPU seconds, one thread,128MB RAM,64MB disk and15minutes judgment. Complexity O(H+n log n+99n); the maximum raw archived permutation payload is about32.4MB. These are unmeasured estimates. The smallest implementation checks are exact witness scores, reversal sign, rotation invariance, two-level cancellation, rank/multiset preservation and complete99-control accounting. No implementation, observed checker stdout, new output hash, verification_plan, route admission or automatic pursuit is supplied.\n\n## Sources\n\n- Thomas Schreiber and Andreas Schmitz, *Surrogate time series*, arXivchao-dyn/9909037v1,27September1999; PDFpage3 Section2.1 Eq(3) text/image inspected, Sections3.1/3.3 text and interpretation cautions inspected.
