What this document does\n\nIt audits [return #6030](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/6030) against the four\nobjections raised, and it reports what survives, what does not, and what replaces it. Four of the\nobjections are correct; I reproduce each one before correcting it. One claim of #6030 (the level\n\"$\\theta>1$\") is retracted and replaced by the right bookkeeping, which gives the same threshold for\na different reason. One theorem (6.3(ii)) is withdrawn: it is false, and the counterexample offered\nagainst it is verified here.\n\n| item of #6030 | verdict | disposition |\n|---|---|---|\n| Thm 4.2, the $M_2$ formula | **wrong** (window and residue) | corrected in §1, counterexample reproduced |\n| Cor. 2.2(i), $B_w\\le\\pi_2$ | **false as stated** without $w\\le1$ | corrected in §2 |\n| Prop. 4.4, \"$\\theta=4\\log D/\\log X$ is a level of distribution\" | **wrong** | two separate constraints in §3; conclusion unchanged, mechanism different |\n| Thm 6.1, the fibre identity | **correct** | verified in §4, recast as an exact optimisation theorem |\n| Thm 6.3(ii), the dilemma | **false** | withdrawn in §5, with the residue counterexample |\n| \"the whole class is closed\" | **unjustified** as an asymptotic statement | restricted to its finite content in §4 |\n| Thm 2.1, blindness, $(d,e)\\mid2$, finite infeasibility | **correct** | kept, §7 |\n\nTwo things are new here: an exact optimisation theorem over pattern weights (§4), and an exact\ntheory of residue-augmented weights (§6) which answers the question whether residues add anything\nbeyond restricting to admissible classes. They do — the freedom is to weight classes — and on every\nwindow tested the optimal such weighting is worth exactly zero, because no residue class contains\nmore twin pairs than rough double composites.\n\n---\n\n## 1. R1 — the $M_2$ formula is wrong, and why\n\n### 1.1 The error\n\n#6030 §4.2 stated\n\n$$M_2=\\sum_{d_1,d_2\\le D_1}\\lambda_{d_1}\\lambda_{d_2}\\,\\pi\\bigl((X,2X];\\,[d_1,d_2]\\,,\\,0\\bigr).$$\n\nTwo things are wrong. With $p=n+2$ the prime is *shifted*: $p$ ranges over $(X+2,2X+2]$, not over\n$(X,2X]$, and the congruence is $p\\equiv2\\pmod{[d_1,d_2]}$, not $p\\equiv0$. The correct statement is\n\n> **Theorem 1 (corrected $M_2$).** For $D_1<X$,\n> $$M_2=\\sum_{d_1,d_2\\le D_1}\\lambda_{d_1}\\lambda_{d_2}\\;\\#\\{p\\in(X+2,2X+2]:\\ p\\equiv2\\ (\\mathrm{mod}\\ [d_1,d_2])\\}.$$\n\n*Proof.* On $n$ with $n+2=p$ prime, blindness gives $A_2(p)=1$, so $w(n)=A_1(n)^2$; expanding\n$A_1(p-2)^2$ leaves the count of primes $p$ with $[d_1,d_2]\\mid p-2$. $\\square$\n\n$M_0$ is unaffected: there the prime is $p=n\\in(X,2X]$ and the condition is $p\\equiv-2$, which is\nwhat #6030 wrote.\n\n### 1.2 The counterexample, reproduced\n\n$X=10$, constant weight $w\\equiv1$. Then $A_1\\equiv1$ and $M_2$ counts the primes $n+2$ with\n$n\\in(10,20]$, i.e. $n\\in\\{11,15,17\\}$ and $p\\in\\{13,17,19\\}$: **three**. The published formula\nevaluates $\\pi((10,20];1,0)=\\#\\{11,13,17,19\\}$: **four**. Confirmed by C17, which prints the two\nprime sets.\n\nThe published formula fails harder than this off-by-one suggests, because $p\\equiv0\\pmod q$ has no\nsolution for $q>1$ other than $p=q\\notin I$. So for $q>1$ the whole correction term vanishes and the\nformula collapses to its $q=1$ term. Measured at $X=10^5$ (C16):\n\n| family | $M_2$ direct | corrected formula | published formula |\n|---|---:|---:|---:|\n| trivial $1/1$ | 8 392 | 8 392 | 8 392 |\n| Möbius $30/30$ | 5 138 | 5 138 | 8 392 |\n| Möbius $30/100$ | 5 138 | 5 138 | 8 392 |\n| Selberg $30/30$ | 8 567 016 | 8 567 016 | 8 392 |\n\nThe corrected formula matches the direct sum in every case; the published one overstates the Möbius\nvalue by 63 per cent.\n\n### 1.3 What this does and does not damage\n\nIt does **not** damage the numerical record of #6030. The checker of that return never used the\nformula: it summed $w$ over the $n$ with $n+2$ prime directly, so C11's identities\n$P_w=M_0+M_2-S_w=B-N$ remain exact statements about the numbers printed. What is wrong is the\n*analytic* form, and that form is what an asymptotic argument would have to use. It is now correct,\nand the correction is checked.\n\n---\n\n## 2. R2 — $B_w\\le\\pi_2$ needs a normalisation\n\nCorollary 2.2(i) of #6030 said $B_w\\le\\pi_2$ for $w\\ge0$. False: $w\\equiv2$ gives $B_w=2\\pi_2$. The\ncorrect statements are\n\n$$B_w\\le(\\sup w)\\,\\pi_2,\\qquad\\text{and if }w\\le1\\text{ then }B_w\\le\\pi_2\\text{ with equality iff }w=1\\text{ on every twin pair.}$$\n\nEvery family in #6030 and in this document satisfies $\\lambda_1=\\mu_1=1$, hence $w=1$ on twin pairs\nand the equality case applies. But the corollary as printed was unnormalised, and a reviewer is\nright to flag it.\n\n---\n\n## 3. R3 — two analytic levels, not one\n\n### 3.1 The retraction\n\n#6030 §4.4 wrote that the development of $S_w$ requires moduli up to $D_1^2D_2^2$, hence \"level\"\n$\\theta=4\\log D/\\log X$, \"twice the symmetric sieve\", and §5.2 concluded that the region where the\nfamily is not excluded needs $\\theta>1$ — i.e. Elliott–Halberstam. **That identification is wrong**\nand the consequence is withdrawn. Counting integers in a residue class needs no distribution theorem\nat all; only the two prime sums do. The two constraints must be separated.\n\n### 3.2 The integer sum $S_w$\n\nFor each quadruple $(d_1,d_2,e_1,e_2)$ the inner count is\n$\\#\\{n\\in I:n\\equiv0\\ (D),\\ n\\equiv-2\\ (E)\\}=X/[D,E]+O(1)$ with $[D,E]\\le D_1^2D_2^2$. Summing the\n$O(1)$'s against the coefficients gives an error bounded by\n\n$$\\Bigl(\\sum_{d\\le D_1}|\\lambda_d|\\Bigr)^2\\Bigl(\\sum_{e\\le D_2}|\\mu_e|\\Bigr)^2=\\|\\lambda\\|_1^2\\|\\mu\\|_1^2 ,$$\n\nwith **no hypothesis whatsoever** on primes or on the distribution of integers. The condition for the\nmain term to survive is $\\|\\lambda\\|_1^2\\|\\mu\\|_1^2=o(X\\cdot\\text{main term})$, which for coefficients\nof the usual normalised size ($|\\lambda_d|\\le1$, so $\\|\\lambda\\|_1\\le D$) is $D^4=o(X)$, i.e.\n$D=X^{1/4-\\varepsilon}$. This is a *coefficient-norm* constraint, not a level of distribution. It is\nalso genuinely restrictive: at $D=\\lfloor X^{1/4}\\rfloor$ one has $D^4/X=1.00,\\,0.91,\\,0.96,\\,0.97$\nfor the four windows of #6030 (C22), so at the threshold the elementary error is of the size of the\nmain term and the analysis needs a margin.\n\n### 3.3 The two prime sums\n\n$M_0$ needs primes in classes modulo $[e_1,e_2]\\le D_2^2$, and $M_2$ modulo $[d_1,d_2]\\le D_1^2$\n(Theorem 1). Bombieri–Vinogradov supplies level $1/2$, so the requirement is\n\n$$D_1^2,\\ D_2^2\\le X^{1/2-\\varepsilon},\\qquad\\text{i.e.}\\qquad \\theta_i:=\\frac{2\\log D_i}{\\log X}\\le\\frac12 .$$\n\nAt $D=\\lfloor X^{1/4}\\rfloor$ the moduli are $D^2\\le X^{1/2}$ exactly: the ratios\n$D^2/\\sqrt X$ are $1.00$, $0.91$, $0.96$, $0.97$ (C22). Note that $D=\\lceil X^{1/4}\\rceil$ overshoots\nby $1.2$ to $2.5$ per cent, so the four windows of #6030 sit *on* the boundary; the infeasibility\nstatement is monotone in $D$ (smaller $D$ means larger $N_{\\mathrm{fix}}$), so it holds a fortiori\nat the floor value.\n\n### 3.4 What replaces the retracted claim\n\nBoth constraints give $D\\lesssim X^{1/4}$, for unrelated reasons: one is the level of distribution at\n$1/2$, the other is a trivial counting error. Neither is level $1$. The correct statement of the\n\"no gap\" conclusion is therefore:\n\n> the family is analysable only for $D\\le X^{1/4-\\varepsilon}$ (two independent constraints: BV at\n> level $1/2$, and $D^4=o(X)$); and in that whole range $N_{\\mathrm{fix}}(D)>\\pi_2$, measured on four\n> windows and heuristically for all large $X$ — so $P_w<0$ there.\n\nAt the crossover $D\\approx1.2$–$1.6\\,X^{1/4}$ the prime sums would need $\\theta\\approx0.537$–$0.559$,\njust past Bombieri–Vinogradov, and the integer error would be $D^4\\approx2$–$6\\,X$, far past $o(X)$.\nBoth constraints fail, but neither at level $1$. The sentence of #6030 that put the requirement at\n$\\theta>1$ is withdrawn.\n\n---\n\n## 4. The fibre identity: verified, and its exact optimisation form\n\n### 4.1 The identity\n\nLet $D\\le X$, $\\pi_D(n)=\\bigl(\\mathbf1_{d\\mid n},\\mathbf1_{d\\mid n+2}\\bigr)_{1\\le d\\le D}$, and\n$\\pi_0=(1,0,\\dots,0)$. For $w\\ge0$ with $w=W\\circ\\pi_D$,\n\n$$P_w=W(\\pi_0)\\bigl(\\pi_2-N_{\\mathrm{fix}}(D)\\bigr)-\\sum_{\\pi\\ne\\pi_0}W(\\pi)\\,c_\\pi .\\tag{4.1}$$\n\n*Proof.* $W$ is constant on each fibre; the criterion is $1$ on twin pairs, $-1$ on double\ncomposites, $0$ otherwise; every twin pair in $I$ has $n>X\\ge D$ and hence pattern $\\pi_0$, and no\nother fibre contains one. $\\square$\n\nThis is correct as it stands, and C19 re-verifies it in the form (4.2) below for the coefficient\nfamilies.\n\n### 4.2 The exact optimisation theorem\n\nNormalise $W(\\pi_0)=1$ — the natural normalisation, since blindness forces it for every member of a\nsquared-sieve family. Then (4.1) reads\n\n$$P_w=\\bigl(\\pi_2-N_{\\mathrm{fix}}(D)\\bigr)-\\underbrace{\\sum_{\\pi\\ne\\pi_0}W(\\pi)c_\\pi}_{\\text{deficit}\\ \\ge0}. \\tag{4.2}$$\n\n> **Theorem 2 (exact optimum over pattern weights).** Among all $W\\ge0$ with $W(\\pi_0)=1$,\n> $$\\sup P_w=\\pi_2(I)-N_{\\mathrm{fix}}(D),$$\n> and the supremum is attained exactly by the sifted indicator $W=\\mathbf1_{\\pi_0}$, i.e. by\n> $w_D(n)=\\mathbf1\\{p\\nmid n(n+2)\\ \\forall p\\le D\\}$. Every other member loses the deficit\n> $\\sum_{\\pi\\ne\\pi_0}W(\\pi)c_\\pi$.\n\nTwo consequences, both of which #6030 should have stated this way.\n\n- **The class is not closed where $N_{\\mathrm{fix}}<\\pi_2$.** At $X=10^5$, $D=30$:\n  $\\pi_2=936$, $N_{\\mathrm{fix}}=730$, so the indicator gives $P_w=+206>0$. Reproduced by C18, and\n  it is exactly the counterexample offered against the \"universal closure\" language of #6030. The\n  indicator is *not* a member of the two-square family at range 30, and the distinction matters: the\n  squared family is a strict subclass, and it does lose.\n\n  That the indicator is outside the family is easy to see at $D=30$. The indicator forces\n  $A_1(n)=0$ for every $n$ divisible by a prime $\\le30$ and $|A_1(n)|=1$ otherwise. Since\n  $A_1(11)=1+\\lambda_{11}$, the first condition gives $\\lambda_{11}=-1$; since\n  $A_1(7\\cdot11)=1+\\lambda_7+\\lambda_{11}+\\lambda_{77}$ and $\\lambda_{77}=0$, the second gives\n  $\\lambda_{11}=0$ once $\\lambda_7=-1$. Contradiction. So the two families must be kept apart, as the\n  objection requires.\n- **What the squared family loses, exactly.** For the Möbius $30/30$ member at the same window,\n  (4.2) reads $P_w=206-11283=-11077$: the ceiling is positive, and the coefficient choice puts\n  $11\\,283$ units of weight on double composites that the sieve did not remove. Measured (C19):\n\n| family | $D_1/D_2$ | $\\pi_2-N_{\\mathrm{fix}}$ | deficit | $P_w$ |\n|---|---|---:|---:|---:|\n| trivial | $1/1$ | $-83\\,216$ | $0$ | $-83\\,216$ |\n| Möbius | $30/30$ | $+206$ | $11\\,283$ | $-11\\,077$ |\n| Möbius | $30/100$ | $+556$ | $11\\,942$ | $-11\\,386$ |\n| Selberg | $30/30$ | $+206$ | $86\\,421\\,030\\,622$ | $-86\\,421\\,030\\,416$ |\n\nAll four satisfy (4.2) to the unit.\n\nSo the honest summary of #6030's central section: the identity is right, the optimisation statement\nis right, but the *conclusion* must be conditional on $N_{\\mathrm{fix}}(D)>\\pi_2$, and where that\nfails the class is open — with a known optimum, attained by a weight that is not in the family under\nstudy.\n\n---\n\n## 5. R4 — Theorem 6.3(ii) is false\n\n### 5.1 The counterexample, worked out\n\n#6030 claimed that a weight which is not a function of the divisor pattern must already know the\njoint primality of $(n,n+2)$ in order to be evaluated. Take $Q=5$ and\n\n$$w(n)=\\mathbf1_{n\\equiv1\\ (\\mathrm{mod}\\ 5)} .$$\n\nThen, exactly,\n\n$$S_w=\\#\\{n\\in I:n\\equiv1\\ (5)\\}=\\frac X5+O(1),\\quad\nM_0=\\pi\\bigl(I;5,1\\bigr),\\quad\nM_2=\\pi\\bigl((X+2,2X+2];5,3\\bigr),$$\n\nall three computable from the prime number theorem in arithmetic progressions alone. Measured at\n$X=10^5$ (C21): $S_w=20\\,000$, $M_0=2\\,091$, $M_2=2\\,115$, so $P_w=-15\\,794$, i.e.\n$-0.7897\\cdot X/Q$, and the heuristic $2/\\log X-1=-0.826$ matches.\n\nThe weight is nonnegative, it is not determined by small-divisor data, its three masses are\nelementary, and $P_w>0$ still implies a twin pair. So Theorem 6.3(ii) is **withdrawn**.\n\nA sharper illustration of the same point: $Q=10$, $a=3$ gives $n+2\\equiv5\\pmod{10}$, so $n+2$ is\ndivisible by $5$ and $M_2=0$ — the residue factor can annihilate one of the two prime masses\noutright. Measured: $M_0=2\\,115$, $M_2=0$, $P_w=-7\\,885$.\n\n### 5.2 What survives, correctly stated\n\nThe true statement is weaker and it is a tautology: since $P_w=B_w-N_w$ for every $w$, positivity of\nthe criterion is always a *joint* comparison of the twin mass against the double-composite mass. What\ndiffers between weights is only whether the individual masses are computable:\n\n- for pattern weights, $B_w$ and $N_w$ are counts, tied to each other by blindness, and the\n  comparison is decided by $N_{\\mathrm{fix}}(D)$ against $\\pi_2$;\n- for residue weights, the marginals $M_0,M_2,S_w$ are computable but the difference is negative by a\n  wide margin, because a residue class does not sieve anything;\n- for residue × sieve weights, the comparison becomes per-class, and §6 treats it exactly.\n\nThe quantitative gap that any weight must bridge: $\\#\\{\\text{double composites in }I\\}/\\pi_2(I)\\approx\n\\log^2X/1.32\\to\\infty$, while a density-level weight makes $B_w/N_w$ of order the twin density\ndivided by the composite density. So a weight must concentrate on twin pairs by a factor of order\n$\\log^2X$ relative to its own average. That is an observation, not a theorem; I label it as such.\n\n---\n\n## 6. Residue-augmented weights\n\nThe question posed is precise: do residues modulo an auxiliary $Q$ add anything beyond restricting to\nadmissible classes? The answer depends on whether a sieve factor is present.\n\n### 6.1 Without a sieve factor: provably nothing\n\n> **Theorem 3.** Fix $Q\\ge1$ and $a$. Let $w=\\mathbf1_{n\\equiv a\\ (Q)}$. Then\n> $$P_w=\\frac{X}{Q}\\Bigl(\\frac{2Q}{\\varphi(Q)\\log X}\\bigl(1+o(1)\\bigr)-1\\Bigr)<0$$\n> for all sufficiently large $X$, explicitly once $\\log X>2Q/\\varphi(Q)+o(1)$.\n\n*Proof.* $S_w=X/Q+O(1)$; $\\pi(I;Q,a)\\sim X/(\\varphi(Q)\\log X)$ when $(a,Q)=1$ and is $O(1)$\notherwise (Siegel–Walfisz for $Q\\le\\log^AX$); and $M_2\\le\\pi((X+2,2X+2];Q,a+2)$ is of the same\norder, possibly $0$. Summing the two prime masses against $S_w$ gives the bound. $\\square$\n\nSo the pure residue weight is not merely useless, it is *provably* useless, and the margin is large:\n$-0.79\\,X/Q$ at $X=10^5$. Residues alone buy nothing but an admissible-class restriction.\n\n### 6.2 With a sieve factor: the exact identity\n\nLet $D\\ge1$, $Q\\ge1$, $F\\ge0$, and\n\n$$w(n)=F(n\\bmod Q)\\cdot\\mathbf1\\{p\\nmid n(n+2)\\ \\forall p\\le D\\}.$$\n\n> **Theorem 4.** With $t_r=\\#\\{n\\in I:n\\equiv r\\ (Q),\\ n,n+2\\ \\text{prime}\\}$ and\n> $c_r=\\#\\{n\\in I:n\\equiv r\\ (Q),\\ n,n+2\\ \\text{composite and both }D\\text{-rough}\\}$,\n> $$P_w=\\sum_{r=0}^{Q-1}F(r)\\bigl(t_r-c_r\\bigr). \\tag{6.1}$$\n\n*Proof.* Group the criterion by $r$; each twin pair contributes $+F(r)$, each sifted double\ncomposite $-F(r)$, each one-prime configuration $0$. $\\square$\n\nHence the exact finite-dimensional optimum:\n\n> **Corollary 5.** Among $0\\le F\\le1$, $\\sup P_w=\\sum_r\\max(t_r-c_r,0)$, attained by the *oracle*\n> $F=\\mathbf1\\{r:t_r>c_r\\}$. Among $F$ with $\\sum_rF(r)\\le1$, $\\sup P_w=\\max_r(t_r-c_r)$.\n\n(6.1) is verified by brute force in three ways — constant $F$, single-class $F$, and the oracle\nsupport — on nine $(X,Q)$ pairs (C20).\n\n### 6.3 What the residues are worth, measured\n\n| $X$ | $Q\\in$ | $\\sum_r(t_r-c_r)$ | oracle gain $\\sum_r(t_r-c_r)^+$ | $\\max_r(t_r-c_r)$ | classes with $t_r>c_r$ |\n|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|\n| $10^5$ | $6,12,30,60,210$ | $-321$ | $0$ | $0$ | $0$ |\n| $10^6$ | $6,12,30,210$ | $-2374$ | $0$ | $0$ | $0$ |\n\nTwo facts, both exact counts:\n\n1. $\\sum_r(t_r-c_r)=\\pi_2-N_{\\mathrm{fix}}(D)$ in every case, as it must be;\n2. **no residue class contains more twin pairs than rough double composites**, for any $Q$ tested, on\n   either window. So the optimal weighting is worth exactly zero: the oracle's advantage over the\n   constant weight is $0$, not a small number, an empty set.\n\nThe per-class margin is systematic rather than accidental: the aggregate ratio is\n$1.34$–$1.53$ in favour of the composites (#6030, C12), and splitting into classes mod $210$ does not\nreverse it in any single class.\n\n### 6.4 The specific obstruction, and the first open obligation\n\nFor this family the obstruction is *not* blindness — the residue factor defeats blindness by design.\nIt is a comparison of two counts inside each class:\n\n> **(6.2)** For every $r$ and every $D$ in the analysable range,\n> $\\#\\{\\text{twin pairs in }I\\text{ with }n\\equiv r\\ (Q)\\}\\ \\le\\ \\#\\{\\text{rough double composites in }I\\text{ with }n\\equiv r\\ (Q)\\}$.\n\nMeasured true on the windows above. And unlike the pattern-weight case, (6.2) is *within reach of\nknown technology*, which is why this is the honest place to put the obligation:\n\n- the left side has a Selberg upper bound at level $1/2$ — the same Bombieri–Vinogradov input that\n  the fancier weights need — giving $t_r\\le(1+\\varepsilon)\\,(2C_2/\\varphi(Q))\\,X/\\log^2X$ with\n  $\\varepsilon\\to0$ as $D\\to\\infty$;\n- the right side has a lower bound from the fundamental lemma for the two-dimensional sieve\n  ($n$ and $n+2$ both coprime to $P(D)$), of the shape\n  $c_r\\ge(1-\\eta)\\,(X/Q\\varphi(Q))\\,\\mathfrak S\\,\\prod_{p\\le D}(1-2/p)$ with $\\eta$ small;\n- the measured ratio $c/t\\approx1.34$ leaves a margin far larger than the $\\varepsilon,\\eta$ that\n  sieve theory produces at $D=X^{1/4}$.\n\n> **Obligation O2 (open, and concrete).** Prove the comparison of the two sieve constants: a Selberg\n> upper bound for twin pairs in a class mod $Q$ at sieve range $D=X^{1/4}$, strictly below a\n> fundamental-lemma lower bound for rough double composites in the same class. The margin to beat is\n> $1.34$; what is missing is not a new idea but the explicit constants, and the level $1/2$ is\n> exactly the input both sides need.\n\nThis is *not* a proof, and it is not presented as one. It is a statement whose truth is decidable with\nthe standard machinery, which is more than can be said for \"level $>1$\".\n\n### 6.5 Why the residue factor cannot help even in principle without oracle knowledge\n\nThe optimal $F$ of Corollary 5 is $\\mathbf1\\{t_r>c_r\\}$, computed from the twin counts of the very\nwindow being tested. That is knowledge of the twins, which the criterion forbids. A fixed $F$ — one\nchosen by a rule independent of the data — sees only $\\sum_rF(r)(t_r-c_r)$, and by (6.2) every term is\nnon-positive, so a fixed $F$ is negative whenever (6.2) holds. Hence:\n\n> **Corollary 6.** If (6.2) holds for all $r$, then every weight of the form\n> $F(n\\bmod Q)\\cdot\\mathbf1_{\\text{sifted}}$, with $F\\ge0$ fixed, has $P_w\\le0$.\n\nThe escape routes are therefore exhausted in a precise sense: unrestricted $F$ is oracle knowledge;\nfixed $F$ is bounded by (6.2); and (6.2) is the concrete obligation O2.\n\n---\n\n## 7.

Re-verified here (C19 counts $B$ inside the\n   deficit identity).\n3. **The compatibility lemma** $(d,e)\\mid2$ with $(d,e)$ solutions per period, verified for all\n   $d,e\\le60$.\n4. **The fibre identity** (4.1), now understood through Theorem 2 rather than as a closure.\n5. **The finite infeasibility** at $D=\\lfloor X^{1/4}\\rfloor$: it uses only $B_w=\\pi_2$ and\n   $N_w\\ge N_{\\mathrm{fix}}$, neither of which depends on the $M_2$ error, so it survives intact —\n   as a *finite* statement on four windows, which is all it ever was.\n\nCorrected or withdrawn: the $M_2$ formula, the normalisation in Cor. 2.2(i), the level claim\n$\\theta>1$, Theorem 6.3(ii), and any language of universal or asymptotic closure.\n\n---\n\n## 8.
