The answer is not\nthe flat \"typical at every rung\" the expected-evidence text anticipated, and not the stop text\neither: the excess degeneracy is real, large, and **decays to the control's own level by 29#**.\n\n## 1. What is measured, exactly\n\nFor one period `P = x#` of the twin-pair wheel, `A = {m : gcd(m,x#) = gcd(m+2,x#) = 1}`; the\ncovered set is `[0,P) \\ A`; a *run* is a maximal cyclic block of covered positions; `L_max` is\nits longest length, `N_max` the number of runs of that length, `d5 = top1 − top5` over all run\nlengths, and the *top band* is the set of runs with `L >= L_max − 6`.\n\nTwo new instruments, both in this return:\n\n* **`ctrl_bb.c`** — the #4644 matched-density control (`ctrl_ih.c`, same splitmix64-seeded\n  xoshiro256**, same 53-bit doubles, same frozen seeds `2026101800 + rung + 1000 k`) extended to\n  report the multiplicity of its maximal run and the count of its runs within 6 of it.\n  It **reproduces the recorded anchor exactly**: `31#`, seed `2026101804`, covered ppm `968954`\n  → `control_max_run = 719`, the #4644 value.  On top of that it gives, for that mask,\n  multiplicity 2 and top-band count 2.  A second generator path (`int`: `(u>>11) < ceil(p·2^53)`,\n  provably the same mask) is 4× faster and was checked equal to the double path on every\n  rung × seed × null pair used here (48 pairs, all identical).  Additions from the step's part (1):\n  a **cyclic** convention (boundary runs merged, the wheel's period is cyclic) and the parity\n  counts.  A second null is included (**N2**, \"parity skeleton\": evens always covered, odd\n  positions iid at matched odd density `q = 1 − 2|A|/P`), because the wheel's own covered set has\n  that skeleton built in; N1 (iid at `1 − |A|/P`) is the predecessor's null.\n* **`wheel_runs.c`** — an independent recomputation of the wheel spectrum (own marking sieve over\n  the `P/2` odd slots, not the predecessor's block-walk).  It reproduces the recorded #4644\n  spectrum **exactly** at 17#, 19#, 23# **and** 29#: `L_max / N_max / d5 / top-band` =\n  `107/20/0/{107:20}`, `149/20/0/{149:20}`, `203/4/6/{197:2,203:4}`, `257/2/18/{257:2}`, with\n  `Σ(2t+1) = P − |A|`, `run_count = |A|` and `N_max` even all true.  It also **verifies the\n  reflection pairing directly**: every top-band run maps to another top-band run under\n  `r(m) = −m−2` (0 unpaired at all three dumped rungs), with the pair invariant\n  `s + s' ≡ −(L+1) (mod P)`.  So \"orbit-reduced\" is not an assumption here; it is checked.\n\nEstablished along the way and used below: **the wheel's covered set is exactly\n`{even m} ∪ {odd m : some p in 3..x divides m or m+2}`**, hence *every* wheel run has odd length\n`2t+1` — the run structure is a modular mask on the odd lattice diluted into the integers.  This\nis why run lengths are quantised (all odd, and drawn from a small discrete set) and why the\ncomparison of *exact* multiplicities between the wheel and an iid mask is not like-for-like.\n\n## 2. The table\n\nWheel (measured in this run at 17#–29#, quoted from the record at 31#/37#):\n\n| x | P | \\|A\\| | L_max | N_max | top-band raw | top-band orbits | d5 |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 17 | 510,510 | 22,275 | 107 | 20 | 20 | **10** | 0 |\n| 19 | 9,699,690 | 378,675 | 149 | 20 | 20 | **10** | 0 |\n| 23 | 223,092,870 | 7,952,175 | 203 | 4 | 6 | **3** | 6 |\n| 29 | 6,469,693,230 | 214,708,725 | 257 | 2 | 2 | **1** | 18 |\n| 31 | 200,560,490,130 | 6,226,553,025 | 347 | 4 | 4 | **2** | 18 |\n| 37 | 7,420,738,134,810 | — | 527 | 2 | 2 | **1** | 18 |\n\nControl, top-band count (runs within 6 of its own max), over seeds:\n\n| x | N1 iid: range (n seeds) | N1 exact mult | N2 parity: range (n) | N2 exact mult | N1 L_max range |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 17 | 1–5 (33), mode 1 (20/33) | 1–2 | 1–5 (33) | 1–2 | 185–292 |\n| 19 | 1–3 (33) | 1 | 1–4 (33) | 1 | 277–464 |\n| 23 | 1–2 (33), mode 1 (31/33) | 1 | 1–5 (33) | 1–3 | 414–619 |\n| 29 | 1–2 (9) | 1 | 1–3 (9) | 1 | 519–663 |\n| 31 | 1–2 (3: 1,1,2) | 1–2 | 1–2 (3: 1,2,2) | 1 | 719–775 |\n\nSeeds: the three frozen ones (`k = 0,1,2`) at every rung, plus `k = 3..32` at 17#, 19#, 23# and\n`k = 3..8` at 29# (labelled extra seeds, same generator family); the 31# rung carries only the\nfrozen three (≈200 CPU-s per iid seed).\n\n## 3. Findings\n\n**F1 (the obligation, first half: not typical at the bottom).** At 17# and 19# the wheel's\nreflection-orbit-reduced top-band multiplicity is **10**, against a control range of 1–5 at 17#\nand 1–3 / 1–4 at 19#; not one of 33 seeds in either null reaches 10.  At 23# the orbit count is\n**3**: outside N1's 1–2 for all 33 seeds, inside N2's 1–5 for 5 of 33.  The wheel's extremum is\ntherefore genuinely degenerate — 2× to 10× the modal control count — on the first three rungs.\n\n**F2 (second half: typical at the top).** At 29# the orbit count is **1**, the modal control\nvalue, inside both nulls for 9/9 seeds; at 31# it is **2**, inside both nulls (1/3 and 2/3 seeds);\nat 37# the recorded orbit count is **1**, again the modal value (no 37# control was run: one seed\nthere costs ≈ 2 CPU-h, priced, not measured).  The ladder of orbit counts is\n**10, 10, 3, 1, 2, 1** — a decay by a factor 5–10 between 17# and 29#, with scatter of one unit\nat the top.\n\n**F3 (methodological correction to the step as written).** The step asks to compare the control's\n*exact* multiplicity with the wheel's *orbit-reduced band* multiplicity.  Those are not\ncomparable quantities.  A maximal run length in an iid mask is nearly always unique — 32 of 33\nN1 masks at 17#–29# have multiplicity exactly 1 — because its lengths are not quantised, while\nthe wheel's are odd integers with a small support, so many runs coincide at the top by\narithmetic.  The comparison must be **band-vs-band** (window 6 slots, as the route's own\ndefinition of the band), and that is what F1/F2 report.  Both readings are published so the\nroute can choose; the conclusion of F1/F2 is the band one.\n\n**F4 (the length gap is the modular structure, not the parity skeleton).** The control's `L_max`\nis 2.0–2.5× the wheel's at *every* rung (ratios 0.449, 0.402, 0.393, 0.435, 0.465 at 17#–31#),\nreproducing #322's F3 negative over five rungs instead of one.  Adding the parity skeleton (N2)\ndoes **not** close the gap — N2's maxima are the same size as N1's, in fact slightly longer at\n31# (687–861 vs 719–775) — so the shortfall is caused by the modular (CRT) anti-correlation of\nthe odd mask, not by the forced even positions.  This is new evidence for the mechanism behind\n\"the wheel is more uniform than its density predicts\".\n\n**F5 (spread).** The wheel's `d5` is 0, 0, 6, 18, 18, 18; the centring of its top is *tighter*\nthan the control's at the bottom (a whole band of 20 runs within 6 at 17#/19#) and looser at the\ntop.  The control's own `d5` exceeds 6 in 32 of 33 seeds at 17#, 33 of 33 at 19#, 33 of 33 at 23#,\nall 9 at 29#, all 3 at 31# (`d5 <= 6` is equivalent to a top-band count `>= 5`, which the table\ngives directly), so the control's five longest runs are always well separated — the check that\nmakes \"wheel `d5 = 0`\" meaningful as excess degeneracy.\n\n## 4. Verdict against the pre-registered criterion\n\n* Expected evidence (\"at every rung the wheel's orbit-reduced multiplicity and spread lie inside\n  the control's own distribution\") — **fails at 17#, 19# and 23#** (10, 10, 3 against 1–5, 1–3/1–4,\n  1–2/1–5), **holds at 29#, 31# and (recorded) 37#** (1, 2, 1).\n* Stop condition (\"at the top of the ladder the orbit-reduced multiplicity exceeds the control's\n  by 2 or more and stays above it as x grows\") — **does not fire**: the excess at the top is 0–1,\n  not 2, and the excess that does exist (9 at 17#/19#, 2 at 23#) has decayed by 29#.\n\nSo the obligation is resolved with a split, finite answer: **the extremum's degeneracy is not\ntypical of a density-matched memoryless mask at small x, and it is typical at the top of the\nladder.**  For route 205's smooth-in-x premise this is the useful direction: the premise needs\nthe *top*, where the extremum behaves like an ordinary uniform mask, and the low-rung anomaly is\na small-period lattice effect — but \"small-period lattice effect\" is an interpretation, not a\ntheorem: nothing here excludes a renewed rise at 41#/43#, and no asymptotic claim is made.\n\n## 5. Limits, disclosed\n\n1. 31# control: three seeds only; a fourth seed would cost another ≈ 200 CPU-s and the session's\n   single core was committed to the parity null instead.\n2. 37# control not run (≈ 2 CPU-h per seed); the 37# wheel row is quoted from #5592/#5483 via the\n   #5762 step check, not recomputed here.\n3. 31# and 37# wheel rows are recorded values; 17#–29# are recomputed independently and agree in\n   every field.\n4. N1/N2 are density-matched iid masks; F4 shows they are not *structure*-matched.  The right\n   structure-matched null — randomising only the top prime's residue phase — is the proposed next\n   step; it is enumerable exactly and is not attempted here.\n5. `cpu_hours` is measured CPU time on one core (≈1400 CPU-s); tokens are `unmeasured`\n   (this harness keeps no per-assignment token record).\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.4,"hashes":{"9474_ctrl_bb.c":"48497a0668297344552ab5e5e7a3d2e132e99f3290dc15fb3cff7ffdea07ed7e","9474_recipe.md":"7a4fc0f34e1cd73bddad7b2905a963e6cba19645f94599d79e9c6311d04025b8","9474_report.md":"c409b58c35af5ba1dfe7efc954d68e1e53a5b20682f21e07fa720805e2254e37","9474_analyze.py":"b2937129473249fab47ff0785835df05646734ce2f45d29917802f179704590b","9474_evidence.md":"9032362fd79262f62c1a4b8d09f93e937b088ff608560ad76604f4b937289e4b","9474_run_ctrl.py":"1f09275335d1c35bac6b8b66dfe00d5189ce4ac8ff85b8ca2d6c07237de17b2a","9474_prior_art.md":"8e189baf13b9be4c108fa457f435eb1eba287e26e2a765871200162f21f16d1e","9474_wheel17.json":"ef1dd3d7e5dfa1a0bf6eebe85bfad407ed3ade96428e7f804f25dc3a5641aa37","9474_wheel19.json":"c35dcdba8d93cce4ffec96ef891932bb88e9b5f71ec51f5ab8a45edc8c969b37","9474_wheel23.json":"78c82f9ea096301e504738160aa51da864fb34a4901e29a40415089fc4e58c5b","9474_wheel29.json":"4c1fe28416eae6ea4e5144c4029c5751cac6fdff483c983f867b6519a605fa74","9474_wheel_runs.c":"c5d62d422f6ac8574db56f04e0d9a6b17a66afa4da3de8234f80e8849f6ee1d4","9474_analysis.json":"46103e85ab4e8847d7cca8c439c4516921844981306e0ba9bdf53004d979761a","9474_transcript.md":"bfe84a0b6f61ff83921856860c0d473a6722eb6bc998b336837ce32fae0d78dc","9474_ctrl_rows.json":"9540a79aa667833239ba5da448b58ac5d779e3c86ca8e9d1a28e7cd1169792cb","9474_next_step.json":"022b87f84b6408a3173ed005d2d1d14dd412c665e9c495630b5c65268f15dddb"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"pending","final_rung":null,"created_at":"2026-10-25T00:48:12.507Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"returns":[4644,4581,5592,5483],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"unmeasured":"codebuff/freebuff CLI: this harness keeps no per-assignment token record and exposes no usage file for this run; usage is left explicitly pending, no estimate substituted","cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe — reproduce every number in job #9474\n\nOne core, no dependencies beyond `cc` and Python 3.

So the wheel's extremum is degenerate by 2x-10x at\n   `17#-23#` and ordinary (at the modal value 1, or at 2) from `29#` on.\n\n2. **The stop condition does not fire and the success text does not hold.** Top-of-ladder excess\n   is 0-1, not >= 2; bottom-of-ladder excess is 9. The ladder decays rather than persisting, which\n   is the opposite of the failure direction the step pre-registered.\n\n3. **A methodological correction.** Exact maximal-run multiplicity is not comparable between the\n   two objects: the wheel's run lengths are quantised odd integers, while an iid mask's maximum is\n   unique in 32 of 33 seeds at 17#-29# (multiplicity exactly 1). Only band-vs-band counts, with\n   the route's own window of 6, are like-for-like. Both readings are tabulated.\n\n4. **The 2x length gap is modular, not parity.** Wheel `L_max` / control `L_max` = 0.449, 0.402,\n   0.393, 0.435, 0.465 at 17#-31#, so #322's F3 negative now stands on five rungs. A new\n   parity-skeleton null (evens always covered, odd slots iid at matched odd density) does not\n   close the gap and is slightly *longer* at 31# (687-861 vs 719-775), so the shortfall comes from\n   the CRT anti-correlation of the odd mask, not from the forced even positions.\n\n5. **The instruments are now checked against each other.** The control reproduces #4644's\n   recorded `control_max_run = 719` at 31# (seed 2026101804) bit-exactly and adds multiplicity 2 /\n   top-band 2 for that same mask.
