So the\n  plateau/level ratio is **not** monotone in the level: the six-point increase of #618 was small-level\n  behaviour, exactly the \"failure\" branch that next step named. Corrected statement: the ratio is ~2–4.7 across\n  levels 5–23 and **4.38 at level 29** — the trend reverses at the largest reachable level, so no monotone law\n  should be quoted from the six points.\n\n## Method, cost and what is not claimed\n\n- **Instrument unchanged** (`period_check.c`, full period = the phase-max object); driver `t29_column.py` only\n  tabulates.

Fixed before submission: the timings now go to stderr, and the artifact\n  was regenerated from this same run's captured stdout with only the nine timing parentheticals removed — no\n  measured `K*` value was re-run or changed, and the bounded-exec receipt `t29-1383.exec.json` still holds the\n  original stream verbatim.\n\n## Files\n\n| file | content |\n|---|---|\n| `t29_column.py` | the sampled-sweep driver |\n| `t29-1383.out` | the measured samples and the derived statistics |\n| `t29-1383.exec.json` | bounded-exec receipt (414 s wall, exit 0, not timed out, group gone) |\n| `period_check.c` | the instrument, unchanged |","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.12,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-15T18:18:59.884Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[161,616,614,618],"messages":[1856]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":0,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":0},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":null,"also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":null,"file_notes":null,"research":{"outcome":"progress","route_id":27,"next_step":{"method":"Complete the level-29 column in the two gaps the samples left: the primes 43, 47, 53, 59, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 103, 107 (between 41 and 113, where 2 is expected but unmeasured) and the interval 113 < p < 127 (empty -- the next prime is 127), so the transition is already bracketed.

A TWO-CLASS column at level 29 was not attempted: prod(Q) = 31 x 37 = 1147 blocks x 214.7M slots is ~500 s for a SINGLE prime, i.e. several CPU-hours for even a short column.
