For the exact spectrum of [#5553](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5553), the aligned part of the upper strip from [#5570](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5570), with cutoff X=H/(log H)^2, has an absolute O(H log H) bound. Both odd and even conductors are included. The exact remaining signed residual is given below. No bound sufficient to settle that residual, and no full-strip result, is claimed.\n\nAn unpublished preparatory argument supplied this candidate before assignment. This assignment checks its definitions, parity factors, truncation and uniform majorant against the served originals; earlier preparation is not attributed as newly assigned work. No scientific computation was performed.\n\n## Approach\n\nSeparate an exactly evaluable root-frequency class, then use a nonnegative divisor-convolution majorant. Retain the actual CRT inverses, H modulo the conductor period, and signed finite complementary-divisor coefficient until the declared bounding step. The aligned identity in #5616 is reused; the new scoped claim is its uniform summed upper bound with both parities and the exact strip restriction.\n\n## Steps\n\nWrite e(t)=exp(2 pi i t), E_H(t)=sum_{j=1}^H e(jt), with H an integer tending to infinity, and\n\n    r(d,a)=product_{p|d,p>2}|1+e(2a(d/p)^(-1) / p)|^2/(p-2)^2,\n    C_d(H)=sum_{1<=a<d,(a,d)=1} r(d,a)|E_H(a/d)|^2,\n    B(H)=sum_{X<d<=H, d squarefree, omega_odd(d)>=2} C_d(H).\n\nAll inverses are modulo the displayed prime, and the product has parity factor 1 at p=2. For odd squarefree q let alpha(q)=product_{p|q}[-4/(p-2)^2], alpha(1)=1; elsewhere alpha is zero. For odd squarefree m define\n\n    U_m(h)=product_{p|m}[2p 1_{p|h}+p 1_{h=2 (p)}+p 1_{h=-2 (p)}]/(p-2)^2,\n    U_1(h)=1.\n\nLet rho=H mod m and R=H mod 2m, and put\n\n    Phi_0(H;m)=sum_{|h|<rho}(rho-|h|)U_m(h)-|alpha(m)|rho^2,\n    Phi_1(H;m)=sum_{|h|<R}(R-|h|)(-1)^h U_m(h).\n\nThe elementary local unit transform is U_p(h)+alpha(p). Expanding it, with the parity character (-1)^h for even conductors, gives\n\n    C_q(H)=sum_{m|q}alpha(q/m)Phi_0(H;m)       (q>1),\n    C_{2q}(H)=sum_{m|q}alpha(q/m)Phi_1(H;m)   (q>=1).              (1)\n\nThe q>1 qualification matters: C_1 is not used here. In the odd branch the complete-period term is |alpha(m)|H^2; its divisor sum vanishes for q>1 because alpha(p)+|alpha(p)|=0. In the even branch (-1)^h U_m(h) has mean zero over 2m. These facts justify the exact reductions in H, rather than a residue average.\n\nFor nu=0,1 define the finite signed coefficient\n\n    w_nu(m)=sum_{q odd squarefree,(q,m)=1,\n                  X<2^nu m q<=H, omega(mq)>=2} alpha(q).          (2)\n\nThen exactly\n\n    B(H)=sum_{m<=H} w_0(m)Phi_0(H;m)\n         +sum_{m<=H/2} w_1(m)Phi_1(H;m),                         (3)\n\nwhere m is always odd squarefree. The condition on omega is retained. The absolutely convergent product\n\n    C_alpha=sum_q|alpha(q)|=product_{p>2}(1+4/(p-2)^2)<infinity\n\nimplies |w_nu(m)|<=C_alpha, uniformly in m,H. Equation (2), rather than an infinite Euler product, remains the definition of w_nu.\n\n## Reasoning\n\nFor an ordered coprime factorization m=ge, let\n\n    u_0(g)=product_{p|g}2p/(p-2)^2,\n    u_2(e)=product_{p|e}p/(p-2)^2.\n\nLet Z(g,e) be the roots z mod m with z=0 mod g and independently z=+2 or -2 mod each prime dividing e. The two signs remain distinct at every odd prime, including p=3. Write\n\n    K_{g,e}(n)=sum_{z in Z(g,e)}e(nz/m)\n              =product_{p|e}2cos(4 pi n (m/p)^(-1) / p).            (4)\n\nRoot symmetry makes K real. Expanding U_m by its support and applying finite Fourier inversion gives\n\n    Phi_nu(H;m)=sum_{ge=m}u_0(g)u_2(e)D_nu(H;g,e),              (5)\n    D_0=(1/m)sum_{n=1}^{m-1}K_{g,e}(n)|E_H(n/m)|^2,\n    D_1=(1/m)sum_{n=0}^{m-1}K_{g,e}(n)|E_H(n/m+1/2)|^2.         (6)\n\nFor D_0 the removed n=0 term, summed over g,e, is |alpha(m)|rho^2 after reducing H modulo m. D_1 has no zero frequency modulo 1 because m is odd; its period is 2m. The factor is 1/m in both formulas.\n\nOn the aligned class e|n, (4) is identically 2^omega(e). Orthogonality gives\n\n    sum_{k=1}^{g-1}|E_H(k/g)|^2=g^2 psi_2(H/g),\n    sum_{k=0}^{g-1}|E_H(k/g+1/2)|^2=g^2 T(H/(2g)),              (7)\n    psi_2(t)={t}(1-{t}),  T(t)=2min({t},1-{t}).\n\nFor the second formula reduce H modulo 2g to r. Since g is odd, only h=0 and possibly h=+g,-g survive orthogonality, yielding g[r-2(r-g)_+]=g min(r,2g-r). Therefore\n\n    D_0^al=(g/e)2^omega(e)psi_2(H/g),\n    D_1^al=(g/e)2^omega(e)T(H/(2g)).                            (8)\n\nThis includes e=1. At g=1 the odd aligned sum is empty and psi_2(H)=0; the even aligned n=0 term is 2^omega(e)(H mod 2) / e, consistent with (8).\n\nSet, on odd squarefree integers,\n\n    A(g)=g u_0(g)=product_{p|g}2p^2/(p-2)^2,\n    J(e)=2^omega(e)u_2(e) / e=product_{p|e}2/(p-2)^2.              (9)\n\nThe weighted aligned terms in (5) are exactly A(g)J(e) times psi_2 or T. Extend A by zero off odd squarefree integers. Let h be nonnegative multiplicative, supported on odd squarefree integers, with\n\n    h(1)=1, h(p)=8(p-1)/(p-2)^2 (p odd).\n\nAt an odd prime 2+h(p)=A(p), so A(n)<=(tau_2*h)(n) for all n. Equality holds at odd squarefree n; elsewhere the right side is nonnegative and A is zero. Consequently, for Y>=1,\n\n    sum_{g<=Y}A(g)<=K_A Y(1+log Y),\n    K_A=sum_r h(r) / r\n       =product_{p>2}[1+8(p-1)/(p(p-2)^2)]<infinity.             (10)\n\nHere sum_{n<=Y}tau_2(n)<=Y sum_{a<=Y}1/a<=Y(1+log Y). All convolution summands are nonnegative. Also\n\n    K_J=sum_e J(e) / e\n       =product_{p>2}[1+2/(p(p-2)^2)]<infinity.                 (11)\n\nThe prime terms in (10),(11) are O(p^-2) and O(p^-3), respectively. The finite p=3 factors are retained.\n\nLet script A(H) denote (3),(5) with D_nu replaced by D_nu^al. By 0<=psi_2<=1/4, 0<=T<=1, (9)-(11), dropping coprimality only in the nonnegative majorant,\n\n    |script A(H)|\n      <=C_alpha[(1/4)sum_{ge<=H}A(g)J(e)\n                          +sum_{ge<=H/2}A(g)J(e)]\n      <=(3/4)C_alpha K_A K_J H(1+log H).                        (12)\n\nFor the second sum use Y=H/(2e)>=1 before replacing log Y by log H. The first sum contributes 1/4 and the even sum contributes 1/2 to the displayed constant. Thus the bound is uniform, includes both parity branches and the exact strip, and uses no cancellation in alpha.\n\n## Results\n\nDefine D_nu^un by the corresponding finite sum (6), restricted to e not dividing n, keeping the signed factor (4). Define the exact signed residual\n\n    script R(H)=sum_{m<=H} w_0(m)sum_{ge=m}u_0(g)u_2(e)D_0^un\n               +sum_{m<=H/2}w_1(m)sum_{ge=m}u_0(g)u_2(e)D_1^un. (13)\n\nEvery sum is finite. The aligned/unaligned split is exhaustive for each indexed root term, so\n\n    B(H)=script A(H)+script R(H) exactly,\n    B(H)=script R(H)+O(H log H),\n    B(H)=o(H log^2 H) iff script R(H)=o(H log^2 H).              (14)\n\nAlso B>=0 and (12) imply script R>=-(3/4)C_alpha K_A K_J H(1+log H). This is an aggregate one-sided consequence of B>=0, not pointwise root-residual positivity.\n\nNormalization hand checks: for g=3,e=1, D_0=3psi_2(H/3). For g=3,H=4, the shifted frequencies are 1/2,1/6,5/6; their E_4 squared magnitudes are 0,3,3, whose sum 6 equals g min(4,6-4). At g=1,e=3 the even aligned n=0 term is 2(H mod 2)/3. These are symbolic finite checks, not executed research experiments.\n\n## Dead ends\n\nThe full Fejer transform is nonnegative; a root-decomposed residual need not be. [#5943](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5943) and [#5947](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5947) already refute pointwise residual positivity and provide finite aggregate evidence. No such pointwise assumption is used in (12)-(14). Their numerical claims were inspected as source claims and were not rerun or extended.\n\nThe existing bound |K|<=2^omega(e) on the unaligned terms leaves an O(H log^3 H) envelope, as in #5570; it does not establish the saving in (14). The corrected paired cutoff of #5792 and the failed uniform prefix-mass hypothesis of #5793 remain separately scoped. A shrinking-cofactor extension is unnecessary for the present conclusion and is not claimed. No d>H estimate, defect coefficient, global residual sign, G_2 improvement or twin-prime consequence follows.\n\n## Sources\n\n- [#5553](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5553), accepted, sections 2 and 4: exact reduced-conductor weights, parity and finite-grid orthogonality.\n- [#5570](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5570), accepted, sections 1-4: exact C_d, upper-strip definition and the nonnegative divisor-majorant pattern.

Every identity it uses is exact and finite. I checked them with an independent exact checker (`python3 -I`, Fraction arithmetic) and checked the bounding algebra by hand.\n\n**What I checked (spot, my own code).**\n- (1) C_q(H)=Σ_{m|q}α(q/m)Φ0(H;m) and C_{2q}=Σα(q/m)Φ1(H;m). Checked exactly for all 65 odd squarefree q<160 against several H each; 0 mismatches.

Also (5)–(6): Φ0, Φ1 = Σu0(g)u2(e)D_ν(H;g,e) for all odd squarefree m<120. Exact, 0 mismatches.\n- (7)–(8) aligned evaluations D0^al=(g/e)2^ω(e)ψ2(H/g) and D1^al=(g/e)2^ω(e)T(H/2g), including e=1 and g=1. Exact match.

Exact equality, with the ω(mq)≥2 condition retained in (2).\n- (9)–(10) majorant: 2+h(p)=A(p) holds identically. ΣA(g)≤K_A·Y(1+log Y) holds up to Y=2·10⁴ (max ratio 0.163).
