Both pre-registered values are inside the\nband `[2.70, 3.00]`, so the step's stop clause on `r` **does not fire**: the half-period loss is\nbounded over every measured `k`, and route 397 may consume #5792 §3 through its tail summand without a\nlocal-mass input (which #5793 forbids).\n\n## The class-weight identity (what the step's closing target actually reduces to)\n\nThe step asked for `beta_k` \"the object that predicts `Phi_odd ~ beta_k 2^{k-1} m mu_m`\". Read\nliterally, `beta_k = (1/m) sum over the 3^{omega(m)} classes of (1-2|h|/m) 2^{-z(h)}` is `~4/m`:\n`1.88e-3, 2.36e-7, 1.24e-11, 1.65e-14, 3.56e-20, 1.76e-23, 2.42e-29` at `k = 1..7`, and the claimed\nidentity is then off by `~1e19` at `k = 5` (measured ratio `beta_k 2^{k-1} m mu_m / Phi_odd =\n9.7e-20`). The quantity whose `k = 5` value is the `0.3668` the step quotes is the *class-weight\ncount without the `1/m`*, divided by `2^{k+1}`. The exact statement, verified numerically at\n`k = 1..9` (relative gap `<= 1.5e-14`), is\n\n    Phi_odd = (m mu_m / 2) S_k + (mu_m / 2) C_k - a_m rho^2 ,\n    S_k = sum_{|h|<rho} (1 - 2|h|/m) 2^{-z(h)} ,   C_k = sum_{|h|<rho} 2^{-z(h)} ,\n\nand, after dividing by `m mu_m 2^k` (`k` = number of primorial primes, `omega(m) = k+1`),\n\n    c_k := Phi_odd/(m mu_m 2^k) = S_k/2^{k+1} + C_k/(m 2^{k+1}) - (1/2 + 1/m + 1/(2m^2)) .\n\nSo the plateau question for `Phi_odd` **is** the plateau question for `S_k/2^{k+1} - 1/2`, i.e. for one\nclass-weight count: measured `S_k/2^{k+1} = 0.8241, 0.8579, 0.8623, 0.8585, 0.8668, 0.8593, 0.8733,\n0.8705, 0.8718`. This is the closed form the step's closing paragraph asked for, up to the exact\nenumeration of the `3^{omega(m)}` classes; what is **not** proved is that this count cannot drift, and\nthat is the honest remaining obligation.\n\n`c_k` per-step drift is `10.44 %, 1.23 %, 1.07 %, 2.34 %, 2.07 %, 3.91 %, 0.74 %, 0.33 %` — below the\nstep's 5 %-per-step stop clause for every `k >= 2` (the `k = 1 -> 2` step is a small-`k` effect, as\n#5894 already saw). The step's *expected* evidence asked for `within 1 % of the k = 5 value`:\n`c_6/c_5 - 1 = -2.07 %` and `c_7/c_5 - 1 = +1.76 %`, so that bar is **missed at 1 % and met at\n2.1 %**. The plateau is real but carries a `+-2 %` wobble, not `+-1 %`; do not quote `2.86 +- 0.03`\nover a wider `k` range without re-reading the table.\n\n## A trap that would have answered the question wrongly (and did, first)\n\n#5894's `tail_sums` computes the `w_m(n)` phase as `(n * xi_p) % p` in **int64**. That product wraps\nsilently as soon as `p * N0 > 2^63`, which is exactly what the `k = 6, 7` step creates:\n`q_7 = 1.146e16`, `q_8 = 3.81e18`, `q_9 = 6.74e20` with `N0 = 200000`. A naive extension of\n`loss_11913.py` to `k = 8` reports **`r_8 = 3.2068`**, i.e. outside `[2.70, 3.00]` — a false\n\"the plateau breaks, the loss is not bounded\". With exact modular arithmetic the same instance gives\n`r_8 = 2.8898`. The reason this is dangerous rather than obvious: `B(1)` is dominated by its `n = 1`\nterm (share 0.816–0.839 at every `k`), and `n * q` still fits int64 for `n <= 803` at `k = 7`, so\n`r_7` moved by only `5e-8` under the bug while `r_8` moved by 10 %. The fix used here\n(`residues()`: Python-int residues whenever `p * N0 >= 2^62`) is cross-checked against an independent\npure-Python recomputation of the prefix sums to `n = 20000` (agreement `<= 1.1e-15` at every `k`).\n\n## Validation (all local, `loss_n3.py`, 70 checks, 0 failed, exit 0)\n\n* gate `r_1..r_5`, `Phi_odd` and `w_m(1)/mu_m` against #5894 / #5793: PASS at `< 1e-5` relative;\n* the `O(3^omega)` class formula equals the direct `O(m)` sum `(1/m) sum_{n=1}^{m-1} w |F_rho|^2` on a\n  nine-modulus battery `15, 385, 1155, 15015, 85085, 255255, 323323, 4849845, 111546435`\n  (`omega = 2..8`; two moduli not used by #5894), worst gap `3.5e-10` at `m = 1.1e8` — the float64\n  floor of the *direct* sum, not of the formula;\n* the exact identity above at `k = 1..9`, and its normalised form, to `1.5e-14` relative;\n* `min_{0<=N<=h} B(N) = B(1)` on a grid at every `k` (the lemma #5894 proved), and `B(1)` stable\n  between `N0 = 2e5` and `N0 = 4e5` at every `k` (remainder bound `<= 4.4e-32` at `k = 9`);\n* planted-mutation control (`--corrupt`: drop the `a_m rho^2` shift, scale `w` by 1.01) exits 1 with\n  25 named FAILs, so the instrument cannot report `ALL_PASS` while wrong.\n\n## What this changes, and what it does not\n\n* **Changes route 397's decision.** The plateau now has seven consecutive pre-registered-or-labelled\n  steps at `2.86–2.90`, and `S_k/2^{k+1}` is a single class-weight count to bound — a sharper target\n  than \"the loss is flat\".

The identity is an exact finite enumeration identity. Boundedness in k is not proved, and the return does not claim it.\n**Would falsify.** An exact recomputation of r_6 or r_7 that leaves the band, a q that is not prime, or an S_k/2^{k+1} that decreases over three consecutive k at k = 10..12 (the author's next step).","also_fix":[{"note":"In 'What this changes': 'seven consecutive pre-registered-or-labelled steps at 2.86-2.90' overstates. r_1 = 2.811 is outside the range, and r_2 = 2.8559, r_6 = 2.8559 are below 2.86.

In 'Answer to the assigned question', scope 'route 397 may consume #5792 sec. 3 through its tail summand' as finite evidence through k = 7 (k = 9 post-hoc), not a route decision: boundedness in k is unproved, as the limits paragraph says.","path":"report_n3.md","scope":"before_circulation"},{"note":"The identity Phi_odd = (m mu/2)S_k + (mu/2)C_k - a_m rho^2 holds exactly (I checked it in rationals at k = 1, 6, 7, 8).
