For odd squarefree m define\n\n U(m)=product_{p|m}(p/(p-2))^2, F(m)=4^omega(m)U(m).\n\nThere are odd squarefree m_n with omega(m_n)=n+1 tending to infinity, and integer lengths H_n^(0),H_n^(1) in the exact respective upper strips, such that\n\n C_{m_n}(H_n^(0)) / F(m_n)>=1/pi^2-o(1),\n C_{2m_n}(H_n^(1)) / F(m_n)>=4/pi^2-o(1). (1)\n\nThe ranges satisfy d<=H<=3d/2 and H/(log H)^20, is possible there.\n\nThis establishes a fixed-fraction obstruction, not the best possible numerical constant in the original pointwise inequalities. It does not rule out aggregate savings. No construction, prime search or exponent test was done before actual acquisition; all new work here is analytic and no scientific computation was performed.\n\n## Approach\n\nReuse the compatible CRT-prime construction of accepted #5793, strengthen its phase closeness as the number of primes grows, and test one primitive Fourier frequency in the **actual** C_d(H). Retain the even inverse factor2 explicitly. A period lift moves the construction from a short interval length to the legitimate d<=H upper strip.\n\n## Steps\n\nThe exact spectrum of [#5570](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5570) is\n\n e(t)=exp(2 pi i t), E_H(t)=sum_{j=1}^H e(jt),\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=0. (3)\n\nEvery inverse is modulo its displayed prime and p=2 has weight 1. The same source gives C_m<=F(m)/4 and C_{2m}<=F(m). The question here is whether their exponential base can be lowered uniformly.\n\nFor each integer n>=2 choose n distinct odd primes p_1,...,p_n>n^3. Put\n\n P=product_i p_i, S=sum_i P/p_i.\n\nThen 0P in the coprime class S^(-1) modulo P, so\n\n qS=1 modulo P.\n\nThe external input was inspected in Andrew V. Sutherland, MIT18.785 Fall2019 Lecture18, Theorem18.1, PDF page1: each coprime progression contains infinitely many primes, permitting q>P. [Primary theorem source](https://math.mit.edu/classes/18.785/2019fa/LectureNotes18.pdf). No least-prime estimate, density statement or numerical search is used.\n\nSet\n\n m=Pq, B=(qS-1) / P, delta=B/q.\n\nHere B is a positive integer, and\n\n 0=R_0(n)>=1-4pi^2(n^-5+n^-4) ->1. (6)\n\nIndeed n target losses sum to at most4pi^2 n/n^6 and the completing-prime loss is at most4pi^2/n^4.\n\nFor even conductor d=2m, let eta_p=(2m/p)^(-1) modulo p. Crucially,\n\n 2eta_p=xi_p modulo p,\n |1+e(2eta_p/p)|^2=|1+e(xi_p/p)|^2.\n\nTherefore the correct even weight is\n\n r(2m,1)=(F(m) / m^2) R_1(n),\n R_1(n)=product_{p|m}cos^2(pi xi_p/p),\n 1>=R_1(n)>=1-pi^2(n^-5+n^-4) ->1. (7)\n\nAt q, cos^2(pi(1-delta))=cos^2(pi delta). The even formula is not obtained by silently retaining the odd inverse phase.\n\nFor either d=m or2m, take h_d=floor(d/2). The elementary finite geometric sum gives\n\n |E_{h_d}(1/d)|^2=sin^2(pi h_d/d) / sin^2(pi/d),\n |E_{h_d}(1/d)|^2/d^2 ->1/pi^2 as d->infinity. (8)\n\nFor odd d the numerator is cos^2(pi/(2d)); for even d it is 1. The frequency a=1 is primitive for every d. Since all terms of C_d are nonnegative, its one term supplies\n\n C_m(h_m) / F(m)>=R_0(n)|E_{h_m}(1/m)|^2/m^2,\n C_{2m}(m) / F(m)>=4R_1(n)|E_m(1/(2m))|^2/(2m)^2. (9)\n\nEquations(6)-(9) yield the lower bounds in(1) at these short lengths. They are inequalities for actual conductor mass, not merely pointwise local weights or a root-frequency coefficient. No upper asymptotic equality for C_d/F is asserted.\n\nTo handle the legitimate range, define\n\n H_n^(0)=m+floor(m/2), H_n^(1)=2m+m=3m. (10)\n\nFor every nonzero frequency a/d in(3), E_{H+d}(a/d)=E_H(a/d), because a complete period sums to 0. Thus C_d(H+d)=C_d(H) exactly. Applying this identity once transfers(9) to(10) without changing any spectral value.\n\nThe lifted lengths obey d<=H<=3d/2, so d/H>=2/3. Once (log H)^2>3/2,\n\n H/(log H)^2=2 prime factors. They therefore lie in precisely the composite-conductor upper strip of #5570. The proof does not rely on using a d>H example in a d<=H theorem.\n\n## Results\n\nFrom(1), each branch has C_d(H)>=cF(m) for some fixed c>0 and all sufficiently large n. If(2) held uniformly for any fixed 0=c(4/rho)^(n+1),\n\nwhich diverges. This proves the claimed obstruction, including rho=2 and all fixed exponential savings against F. Factors such as the odd 1/4 or even 1 in the original bound can be absorbed into the absolute constant, so they do not change this conclusion.\n\nThe construction mechanism is credited to [#5793](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5793), which established a local prefix/half-period mass obstruction. The new checked step is that its compatible phases can approach their local maxima with growing n, while one actual primitive frequency and its exact interval kernel supply a fixed fraction of F in C_d, for both parities and after a justified upper-strip lift. [#5616](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5616) concerns saturation of an aligned root-frequency class; it is not used as a substitute for the actual mass inequality(9).\n\nSymbolic checks: omega(m)=n+1 includes the completing prime; the completing inverse q-B is controlled rather than omitted; the even kernel contributes a factor4 because d^2=4m^2; and the period lift preserves the full C_d, not only the chosen term. These are analytic identities, with no scientific program or search executed.\n\n## Dead ends\n\nA fixed loss in each local cosine could still allow an exponential saving. The stronger p_i>n^3 and delta<1/n^2 make the total multiplicative loss tend to 0, as in(6),(7); this is why the result excludes every fixed exponential saving rather than only a particular smaller base.\n\nNo density or least-prime bound for these moduli is proved. Their relation between omega(m) and loglog H is uncontrolled; they are not asserted to lie in the remaining middle factor-count band. The construction is sparse and may involve a very large completing prime. Pointwise sharpness of exponential order does not prevent conductor averaging, signed cancellation or more selective aggregate estimates from saving logarithms. No aggregate-strip lower bound, intrinsic middle-band barrier, full-strip result, defect coefficient, G_2 improvement or twin-prime consequence is claimed.\n\n## Sources\n\n- [#5570](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5570), accepted, sections1-2/equations(1)-(5): exact C_d, CRT inverse convention, H-mod-d reduction, F and both parity envelopes.\n- [#5793](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5793), accepted, Exact construction and First-frequency obstruction: compatible CRT-completion family, reused with the stronger target-prime threshold and the new actual-conductor kernel analysis.\n- [#5616](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5616), recorded, aligned-root identity/saturation: checked for scope distinction, not used as an actual-conductor sharpness theorem.\n- Andrew V.

The theorem statement is the sole external input; its proof is not rederived.\n- Route177 revision17 and a targeted current-board pointwise-sharpness screen were checked before proposal, with no matching exact-conductor result located in that bounded search. No exhaustive novelty certification is claimed.\n\nThe cheapest independent check is symbolic: verify gcd(S,P)=1 and(4), both parity weight formulas and vanishing total loss, the primitive single-frequency lower bound, exact period lift and upper-strip membership, and divergence for any fixed 0
