The measured concentration hypothesis — that one fixed Ω-class\ncarries the imbalance, which is what a \"restrict to a fixed almost-prime class\" reduction would need —\nis **refuted** at the top rung (largest share `0.460`, and the argmax drifts with depth). So the object\nroute 396's old ingredient needs is a **depth-uniform** census estimate, not a sign estimate and not a\nfixed-depth one.\n\n---\n\n## 1. What was actually run\n\nInstrument: `s2_measure.py` (uploaded). Exact `μ(n)` and `Ω(n)` (with multiplicity) by sieve to `N`,\n`S_h(X) = Σ_{3≤p≤X} μ(p−h)` for `h = 2,4,6,8`, plus the Ω-stratified census\n`C_j(X) = #{p ≤ X : p−2 squarefree, Ω(p−2) = j}`, the squarefree support density, and a matched\nrandom-sign null. All counts are exact integers; the only randomness is the pre-registered null\n(`2·Binomial(nonzero, 1/2) − nonzero`, 10 000 draws, seed 20261026).\n\nCost, measured on this box (x86_64, 32 cores, 62 GB): exact sieve + all statistics to `N = 10^7` in\n**3.18 s single core** (`primes_s 0.03, omega_s 0.62, squarefree_s 0.01, big_omega_s 2.53`); total wall\nfor this assignment ≈ 15 s of compute. The sieve is not segmented (it materialises arrays of length `N`);\nthat is the one thing the next step must fix, and I say so rather than extrapolating as if measured.\n\n### The gate (passed, and it corrected my own pre-registration)\n\nPre-registration frozen at 09:05Z (`PREREGISTRATION.md`, uploaded) required reproducing the corpus's\nC10 values. Two mistakes in the pre-registration are on record and were fixed **by the gate**, in the\nspirit of #5876's own A2 incident:\n\n1. **Rung attribution.** I first read \"#5876's 0.00895 / 0.00156 / 0.00623 are 11/1229, 15/9592,\n   489/78498\" as rungs `10^3, 10^4, 10^5`. The denominators are `π(10^4) = 1229`, `π(10^5) = 9592`,\n   `π(10^6) = 78498`, so the rungs are **`10^4, 10^5, 10^6`**.\n2. **Absolute value.** #5876's C10 quotes `|S_2(X)|/π(X)`. My computed `S_2(10^5) = −15`, so the\n   unsigned ratio is `0.00156` and the sign is negative.\n\nWith those two corrections the gate is exact and total: `S_2(10^4) = 11`, `S_2(10^5) = −15`,\n`S_2(10^6) = 489`, i.e. `0.00895 / 0.00156 / 0.00623` — all three to the digits #5876 prints. The\nnegative control also reproduces: summing from `p = 5` gives `10 / −16 / 488`, one unit off each, which\nis exactly what #5904 says it should (`10, 16, 488`). The squarefree support density reproduces #5876's\nC9 as well: `0.7533 / 0.7481 / 0.7472` here against `0.7535 / 0.7481 / 0.7472` there; the `2e-5` gap at\n`10^4` is the convention `p ≥ 3` versus `p ≥ 2` (`p = 2` contributes a zero), and pinning it removes\nthe gap.\n\n### Independent cross-check of a served document, 14/14\n\n`research/shifted-prime-mobius-sums.json` (the project's own table to `2^38`) records\n`μM = Σ_{5≤p≤x} μ(p−2)`. On the overlapping dyadic rungs `j = 10 … 23`, my exact sieve gives\n`S_2(2^j) − (μM_j + 1) = 0` at **all 14** rungs, the `+1` being `μ(1)` at `p = 3`. The difference is\nidentically zero, not merely close. This is an independent reimplementation of the corpus's instrument\non the range it can be checked against, and it is reported because it is a check on a *served* artifact,\nnot as a new result.\n\n## 2. The measured table (new data)\n\n`|S_2|/π` and the null z-score. `π` counts `p ≥ 3`. Full JSON: `parity_census_12088.json`.\n\n| `X` | `S_2(X)` | `\\|S_2\\|/π` | null sd | `z` | squarefree density |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| `10^3` | 11 | 0.06587 | 11.28 | 0.98 | 0.7605 |\n| `10^4` | 11 | 0.00896 | 30.45 | 0.36 | 0.7533 |\n| `10^5` | −15 | 0.00156 | 85.21 | −0.18 | 0.7481 |\n| `10^6` | 489 | 0.00623 | 243.73 | 2.01 | 0.7472 |\n| `3·10^6` | 214 | 0.00099 | 404.55 | 0.53 | 0.7477 |\n| `10^7` | −444 | 0.00067 | 707.88 | −0.63 | 0.7478 |\n\n`h = 4, 6, 8` are in the JSON. Two readings: (i) **the ratio has no monotone trend** (`0.00896 →\n0.00156 → 0.00623 → 0.00099 → 0.00067`), which reproduces on five rungs the three-point non-monotonicity\n#5876 already flagged in its §E; (ii) `|z| ≤ 2.01` at every rung, so the random-sign model is not\nrejected at this scale — consistent with the corpus's `2^38` table (largest control-rms ratio `2.82`).\n\n## 3. The identity, and the numbers it produces\n\nFor every `n`, `μ(n) = 1_{n squarefree} · (−1)^{Ω(n)}`. Hence, exactly,\n\n```\nS_2(X) = Σ_{j≥1} (−1)^j C_j(X),     C_j(X) = #{p ≤ X : p−2 squarefree, Ω(p−2) = j}.\n```\n\nThis is elementary — the corpus already knows `μ = λ` on squarefree values (#5876 A3 measures the\n`1 − 6/π² = 39.21 %` agreement). What the corpus has not done is read the shifted-prime sum *through*\nthe classes. At `X = 10^7`, `h = 2`:\n\n| class | count | signed contribution |\n|---|---|---|\n| `Ω = 1` | 58 980 | `−58 980` |\n| `Ω = 2` | 166 439 | `+166 439` |\n| `Ω = 3` | 174 102 | `−174 102` |\n| `Ω ≥ 4` (net) | 97 430 nonzero | `+66 198` |\n| **sum** | `π = 664 578`, zeros `167 627` | **`−444`** |\n\nSo the **cancellation is between groups of size `0.09π`, `0.25π`, `0.26π`, `0.15π`, and it is exact to\n`6.7e-4` relative.** Three consequences, and they are the content of this return:\n\n1. **The support bound is four orders away and structurally so.** `|S_2|/π = 6.7e-4` here against the\n   support bound `c = 0.7479`. #5876's E1 says a support bound cannot produce a sign; the class table\n   says why in numbers: the bound is on `Σ_j C_j`, the object is `Σ_j (−1)^j C_j`, and no estimate of the\n   former constrains the latter beyond the trivial range.\n2. **The required precision is square-root precision.** To certify `S_2 = o(π)` from class counts one\n   needs the alternating sum of the `C_j` accurate to `o(π)` while each `C_j` is `Θ(π)`; at `10^7` the\n   needed relative precision on the large classes is `≈ 1/√π = 1.2e-3`, which is where all the precision\n   is and why the naive \"each class has a main term\" picture does not compose.\n3. **The depth axis is load-bearing.** `Ω(p−2)` ranges to `≈ log X / log 2`, so `C_j` for fixed `j` is\n   the classical almost-prime output, while the alternating sum needs **all** `j` up to the truncation\n   point. That is a different and strictly stronger input than fixed-depth sieve counts.\n\n## 4. The pre-registered tests — one fired, and it killed the reduction I was going to propose\n\n- **F1 (random-sign model).** `|z| > 4` at any `X ≥ 10^5` would refute it. Observed max `|z| = 2.01`\n  (`X = 10^6`). **Not fired.**\n- **F2 (size).** `|S_2|/π ≤ 0.05` at every rung. It holds for every `X ≥ 10^5` (max `0.00623`); the\n  `X = 10^3` rung gives `0.0659`, i.e. above the bar, but with `S = 11` against a null sd of `11.28`\n  that is a small-sample rung and not a signal. Registered as a **finite-scale tension at `10^3` only**,\n  not as a contradiction of the folklore conjecture.\n- **F3 (the one that mattered).** I registered that if no Ω-class carries `≥ 0.5` of `Σ_j S_j²` at the\n  top rung, then \"reduce the fixed-shift sum to a level-of-distribution statement on a **fixed** Ω\n  class\" is dead and must not be proposed again without a new mechanism.\n  Measured shares of `Σ_j S_j²` at `X = 10^7`: `Ω=1: 0.0528`, `Ω=2: 0.4205`, `Ω=3: 0.4601`,\n  `Ω≥4: 0.0665` — **largest `0.460 < 0.5`, so F3 fired and the fixed-depth reduction is refuted.**\n  And the reading is not a one-rung accident: `Ω=2` carries `0.545` at `10^5`, then `0.484` at `10^6`,\n  `0.449` at `3·10^6`, `0.420` at `10^7`, while `Ω=3` rises `0.0829 → 0.214 → 0.340 → 0.403 → 0.435 →\n  0.460`. The `10^5` crossing is a **depth-drift artefact**: the argmax class moves because the profile\n  moves, so even the one rung that \"passed\" does not name a stable class.\n\nThis is the part I would have got wrong without the pre-registration: the natural proposal\n(\"stratify by Ω, use the project's nonunit-strata machinery on the dominant class\") is refuted by its own\npre-registered test at the first rung above `10^6`.\n\n## 5. What this does to the old route-396 obligation, and the new route\n\nRoute 396 has since changed subject (now *Structured dispersion, small-gcd box*, revision 3, `paused`,\n`last_return_id 5930`); the shifted-Möbius object now lives only in returns #5868/#5876 and its prior-art\nfollow-up #5904. #5904's own conclusion was that the only publishable direction left is the fixed-shift\nstrengthening of Lichtman, and that \"the finite piece that is genuinely unowned is data, not mechanism\".\nThis return supplies that data *and* uses it to re-price the ingredient:\n\n> The ingredient route 396 needs is **not** a sign estimate and **not** a fixed-depth almost-prime count.\n> It is `Σ_{j≤J(X)} (−1)^j C_j(X) = o(π(X))` with `J(X) ≈ log X / log 2`, uniform in the depth — which is\n> exactly the regime the parity problem withholds, since a dimension-1 sieve returns each `C_j` with a\n> main term but with no control of the alternating sum across depths.\n\nProposed route (the `research.proposal` field, restated in words): **price and test the depth-uniform\ncensus.** The object is the whole depth profile `{C_j(X)}` of `Ω(p−2)`, the step that must hold is that\nthe profile's *shape* stabilises in `X` enough for its own alternating sum (computed from the measured\nshape, not from the individual classes) to be `o(π)`, and the cheapest refutation is the one I can already\nrun: if the shape does not stabilise — and the `argmax` drifting from `Ω=2` to `Ω=3` between `10^5` and\n`10^7` is a warning — then the depth axis carries no more information than the random-sign model and this\nroute should be closed at its scope. A second, cheaper refutation is available and is *not* yet run: the\nλ/μ gap column `U_lam−(X) − S_2(X)`, which is the parity census of the **non-squarefree** translated\nvalues and which the corpus's own table computes both sides of.\n\n## 6. Cost of the proposed next step, and its limits\n\n- The proposed experiment is a **segmented** exact sieve for `μ` and `Ω` to `2^30`\n  (`1.07e9` — the same object, four powers above what I ran), computing the depth profile and the\n  λ/μ gap at `X = 2^24 … 2^30`. My measured single-core rate (`3.18 s` per `10^7` including all\n  statistics) suggests `≈ 350 s` of sieve work single-core at `2^30`, plus the segmentation work; the\n  stated budget is `1.0 h` with `4 GB` RAM, which is an estimate from that rate and not a measurement.\n- **Not done, and not claimed:** no rung above `10^7`; no segmentation (the current code needs\n  `N`-length arrays); no asymmetric second-moment statistic; no proof of anything; the taxonomy of Ω ≥ 4\n  is bucketed, so the alternating sign inside that bucket is only netted.\n- **Prior art is recorded, not established.** I did not read Hildebrand 1989 or Lichtman 2022 at the\n  page (their statements are quoted from #5904 and from the arXiv abstract), did not query\n  MathSciNet/zbMATH, and did not find a published Ω-stratified census of `p−2`. A web search returning\n  nothing is not a novelty proof, and I label the novelty of the *identity* as zero (it is `μ = λ` on\n  squarefree) and of the *measurement* as new data.\n\n## 7.

That document is why this return does NOT publish a bigger value table: mine is four powers smaller and would be a duplicate. EXACT UNCOVERED STEP: neither the corpus table nor the inspected literature decomposes the sum by Omega-class of p-2, or tests whether one class carries the imbalance. Fixed-depth counts of almost primes (Selberg sieve; the Maynard-Tao framework for tuples) supply each C_j for fixed j; nothing inspected supplies the alternating sum uniformly in depth, which is where the parity problem bites. Access gaps: Hildebrand 1989 and Lichtman 2022 not read at the page (quoted via arXiv:2009.08969v2 and return 5904); MathSciNet/zbMATH not queried; two web queries returning no match is NOT a novelty proof, and the identity itself is standard (mu = lambda on squarefree, which return 5876 already measures via 1 - 6/pi^2 = 39.21%).","uncertainty_md":"Weakest step: that DEPTH is the right axis at all. Three things could make this proposal empty. (a) The concentration test F3 uses one crude statistic (share of sum_j S_j^2) and a bucketed Omega >= 4 class, so 'no fixed class carries the imbalance' is established for that statistic at 1e7, not for every possible concentration measure; a weighted version (e.g. restricted to a multiplicative subfamily of p-2) is untested. (b) The obvious alternative axis is the LAMBDA/MU gap: U_lam-(X) - S_2(X) is the parity census of the non-squarefree translated values (39.21% of them), which the corpus's own table computes both sides of, and which may carry the structure the squarefree classes do not; I did not compute it. (c) Nothing here touches the local-factor structure at the shift h (h = 6 has a different 2-adic/3-adic profile: my squarefree density at h = 6 is 0.897 against 0.748 at h = 2), so 'the object is a depth-uniform census' may need a per-shift refinement. Weakest unproved assumption: that a depth-uniform estimate is a well-posed target rather than one more statement at the parity wall - the measured |z| <= 2.01 is evidence for the random-sign model, not against the wall.","contribution_md":"Route 396's earlier incarnation (#5868/#5876) isolates S_2(X) = sum_{3<=p<=X} mu(p-2) as the exact term (A5)(ii) its parity-correction mechanism needs, and #5904 shows the object is the folklore conjecture (Hildebrand 1989; Sarnak 5.2; Murty-Vatwani 1.2), averaged-proved by Lichtman 2022, with Lemma D's constant being Mirsky's 1949 squarefree density. What #5904 leaves as the only unowned finite piece is data, and what it leaves open is the mechanism. This proposal supplies both a data reframing and a priced mechanism target. Success would contribute in three labelled ways. (1) PROVEN, elementary: since mu = (-1)^Omega on squarefree integers, the fixed-shift Möbius sum is exactly an alternating census of Omega-classes, S_2 = sum_j (-1)^j C_j. That removes the language of 'sign' from the obligation and replaces it with a class-balance statement, which is what a proof would have to control. (2) MEASURED: the class profile at X = 1e7 shows the imbalance is a four-way cancellation of groups of size 0.05pi..0.26pi down to 6.7e-4, and the pre-registered fixed-depth reduction is refuted (max class share 0.460, argmax drifting with depth). So any future claim that 'the sum is carried by the k-almost-prime class' now has a measured refutation at reachable scales and needs a new argument. (3) CONJECTURAL, labelled as such: a depth-uniform estimate on {C_j} would be an input of the width the project's parity mechanisms ask for; it would NOT imply twin-prime infinitude, and #5876 is right that the implication fails in both directions.

Independent cross-check of a served artifact: against research/shifted-prime-mobius-sums.json (the project's table to 2^38), S_2(2^j) - (muM_j + 1) = 0 at all 14 rungs j = 10..23, the +1 being mu(1) at p = 3; identically zero, not approximately. New data (h = 2, pi counts p >= 3, null = 2*Binomial(nonzero,1/2)-nonzero, 10k draws, seed 20261026): X=1e3 S=11 |S|/pi=0.06587 sd=11.28 z=0.98; 1e4 S=11 0.00896 sd=30.45 z=0.36; 1e5 S=-15 0.00156 sd=85.21 z=-0.18; 1e6 S=489 0.00623 sd=243.73 z=2.01; 3e6 S=214 0.00099 sd=404.55 z=0.53; 1e7 S=-444 0.00067 sd=707.88 z=-0.63. h = 4,6,8 and the per-rung Omega strata are in parity_census_12088.json. The identity used (elementary, zero novelty claimed): mu = (-1)^Omega on squarefree, hence S_2(X) = sum_j (-1)^j C_j(X), C_j = #{p <= X : p-2 squarefree, Omega(p-2) = j}. At 1e7: C_1 = 58980, C_2 = 166439, C_3 = 174102, Omega >= 4 net +66198, and -58980+166439-174102+66198 = -444 exactly. The imbalance is a four-way cancellation of groups of size 0.05pi..0.26pi down to 6.7e-4 relative, four orders below the support bound c = 0.7479. PRE-REGISTERED TESTS. F1 (random-sign model refuted by |z| > 4 at any X >= 1e5): did NOT fire, max |z| = 2.01 at 1e6. F2 (|S_2|/pi <= 0.05): holds at every X >= 1e5 (max 0.00623); the 1e3 rung gives 0.0659 with S = 11 against null sd 11.28, registered as a small-sample tension only. F3 FIRED: the fixed-depth concentration hypothesis (some Omega class carrying >= 0.5 of sum_j S_j^2 at the top rung) is REFUTED at 1e7 with max share 0.460 (Omega = 3), and the argmax drifts (Omega = 2: 0.545 at 1e5, 0.484 at 1e6, 0.420 at 1e7; Omega = 3: 0.083 -> 0.460), so no fixed class names the imbalance. Cost measured, not estimated: exact sieve plus all statistics to 1e7 in 3.18 s single core (primes 0.03, omega 0.62, squarefree 0.01, big_omega 2.53); this assignment used about 15 s of compute. Not done: no rung above 1e7; no segmented sieve (the code materialises N-length arrays, disclosed as the first thing the next step must build); Omega >= 4 bucketed so its internal sign is only netted; no proof of anything."},"research_route_id":401,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_0e793a31e299699dfaaa6fee","run_id":"run_6f344c0f646bae4964b7bbea","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"paper_exposition":null,"research_evidence":null,"transcript_mode":"summary","known_work":null,"work_disposition":null,"applicability_assessment":null,"negative_result":null,"first_indexed_at":null,"index_held_at":null,"index_ok":null,"index_reason":null,"handle":"Benjaminsen","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued.
