What it adds is the exact algebraic core the question asks about: the\none parity-table bridge identity of the anchored fold ledger is now a sorry-free Lean 4 object inside the\nlane's axiom policy and toolchain pin, all six of the lane evaluator's claims pass on the shipped package,\nand an independent integer witness (including the below-cutoff negative control) confirms the semantics.\n\n## 1. The uncovered step\n\nThe registry row (research/QUESTIONS.md, `Q-fold-arithmetic-bridge`, PARTIAL) records: exact identities\nretained; Bombieri–Vinogradov for k-fold rough products derived (Proposition 3 of the owning note); the\ncontamination aggregate constant 4 (Proposition 4); and both sufficient ratio tests closed at every depth\nu > 4 — Q_cov(u) < 1 and c*_real(u) < 4, with the 2026-09-09 rational certificates and Proposition 6's\nall-depth sub-2 certificate. What remains open, verbatim from the row and from OUTCOMES.md's limits line:\nthe failure \"does not decide Cov_u or Dec_1, require a second Liouville hypothesis or exclude a joint\nbound retaining the partner's parity\", and \"no sufficient twin-prime margin follows\". The owning note's\nown next obligation (its section 5): retain the partner's parity in the joint contamination count N_odd3\nwith the non-residue input named before computation, or use a different weight.\n\nThe uncovered step this return addresses: Proposition 1 of the owning note — the exact identities\n\n- four-sign: S − A − B + C = 4·(T + N_odd3),\n- denominator-free bridge: 4·T·S = 4·P_odd·P'_odd + (C·S − A·B) − 4·N_odd3·S,\n\nthe object every future consumer of (Cov_u) or (Dec_1) must reuse — existed only as hand-proved prose and\na JavaScript validator. No Lean artifact for it existed on the lane: the state-of-the-art \"Best results\"\ntheorem list (gap_reformulation, sum_F_nonzero, weak_iff_twin, factA/factB_sep, next_take_sparsity,\ntailSum_lt_inv, no_ap5, the Rh41 package, kk-lower-bound, the 29#/31# census files, Cert39/Synth39,\nVar41Rule, rd1_HSubPow) contains nothing of this shape, and the predecessor shortlist of this brief\n(returns 6148, 6145, 6144, 6137, 6129, 6127, 6121, 6084 — read for duplication) covers route 107 and 352\nstep checks, the var41 sigma band, the 31# lattice census and the split-D51 closure, not this identity.\nThe in-flight jobs named by the brief (12315, 12305, 12236, 12140, 12105) are queued explores in other\nareas; none claims the parity-bridge formalization.\n\n## 2. What was built — rung: PROVEN (Lean kernel, sorry-free)\n\n`parity_bridge.lean`: Lean 4, core only (no Mathlib import beyond `Init`), toolchain\nleanprover/lean4:v4.33.1 — the lane evaluator's pinned toolchain. It defines:\n\n- `leastDivFrom n d` — the least divisor of n that is at least d, by a fuel-bounded upward scan\n  (`scanFuel`), with the scan invariant `leastDivFrom_spec` proved (the result divides n, is at least 2\n  for 2 ≤ n, and every divisor of n below the result lies below the scan start);\n- `bigOmega m` — the number of prime factors of m counted with multiplicity, via a fuel-based structural\n  recursion whose budget always suffices (`omegaFuel_fuel`); `bigOmega m = 1` iff m is prime\n  (`bigOmega_eq_one_iff`);\n- `lam m = (−1)^bigOmega m` (the Liouville function);\n- the pair-set aggregates as integer sums over a `List Nat`: S, A = Σ lam n, B = Σ lam (n+2),\n  C = Σ lam n · lam (n+2), P_odd, P'_odd, T (both members prime), N_odd3 (both parities odd and not both\n  prime — on an odd-parity pair this is exactly \"both odd with max ≥ 3\").\n\nand proves, for every finite pair set s:\n\n- `four_sign_identity`: S − A − B + C = 4·(T + N_odd3);\n- `bridge_denominator_free`: 4·T·S = 4·P_odd·P'_odd + (C·S − A·B) − 4·N_odd3·S.\n\nThese are Proposition 1 of the owning note exactly (the denominator-free form the note states as valid\nalso at S = 0). The note's ratio form T = P_odd·P'_odd/S + (S/4)·cov − N_odd3 with\ncov = C/S − (A/S)(B/S) follows by dividing the denominator-free identity by 4S when S > 0; the division\nform is stated in the file header and not separately formalized (a Q-cast restatement adds no content).\n\nVerification, by the lane's own gate: `#print axioms` reports both theorems depend on\n`[propext, Quot.sound]` only — inside the axiom policy {propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound}. The\npinned lane evaluator (sha256 27f57bf7c41bcf1dd9eff6b6ed9cd31777150395de7dc3a34589c056841399d3, fetched\nfrom the lane spec with its hash verified) run on the shipped `claims.json` reports 6/6 ok, 0 mismatch,\n0 unsupported: `print_axioms` and `axioms_within_policy` for both theorems, `toolchain_pinned` on\n`lean-toolchain.txt`, and `source_clean` on `parity_bridge.lean`. The claims file ships with the package\nso the checker runs it unchanged.\n\n## 3. Witness — rung: MEASURED (finite, exact integers)\n\n`identity_witness.py` (this return's own code, run on this host, exact integer arithmetic): for\nX ∈ {2^16, 2^20} and cutoffs y = X^(1/4.5) and X^(1/6), it builds the sifted pair set\nS_X = {n ∈ (X, 2X] : gcd(n(n+2), P(y)) = 1} with P(y) the product of primes ≤ y, computes all eight\naggregates, and checks both identities: 4/4 cases PASS (e.g. X = 2^20, y = 10: S = 74897, A = −797,\nB = −433, C = 585, P_odd = 37847, P'_odd = 37665, T = 6965, N_odd3 = 12213).\n\nNegative control (the u = 3 caution of the note, section 4): the interval (64, 128] with y = 4 contains\nthe pair (125, 127): 125 = 5^3 has bigOmega 3 (odd), 127 is prime, and the pair is not a twin pair — so\nN_odd3 = 1 there and the four-sign identity holds with T + N_odd3, not with T alone. This is exactly why\nthe cutoff (2X+2)^(1/3) is the named arithmetic input that forces N_odd3 = 0 on the sifted set, and why\nthe cutoff lemma is the natural next formalize target.\n\ncpu_hours: 0.02 (witness 75 s wall on one core plus the Lean compiles).\n\n## 4. Trying to break the standing verdict\n\nThe standing verdict — both sufficient tests fail at every depth u > 4 — was attacked analytically at the\nmargins the note itself leaves open, without success; the reasoning (heuristic rung, recorded so the\nnext attempt starts here):\n\n- Every sieve loss at its floor still fails: with f_1 = 1 and F_2 = 1 the marginal ratio is\n  c*_best(u) = rho_odd(u)/(rho_odd(u) − 1) ≤ 1 + 1/D_3(u) < 2 < 4 = c_eff for every u > 4 (Proposition 6\n  certifies the same bound with the real f_1). So no improvement of the sieve functions inside this shape\n  can flip the test.\n- The contamination constant 4 is at the linear-sieve parity barrier for this shape: Proposition 4 sieves\n  the composite variable at level Q = x^(1/2) with z = Q^(1/2), which forces the Rosser–Iwaniec s = 2\n  and the factor 4; beating it below the ~1.66 floor would require a sieve upper bound at level x^(1/2)\n  that distinguishes primes from the z-rough composites beyond F(2) = e^gamma — the parity problem\n  itself, not a missing input.\n- The remaining openings are the ones the note names: a joint contamination bound that retains the\n  partner's parity (the union bound discards a factor tending to 4 as u → ∞), a changed weight, or a\n  different consumer. This return makes the identity those continuations must reuse kernel-checked.\n\n## 5. What would falsify this return's claims\n\n- The Lean artifact: any `sorry`/`admit`/`axiom` in the source, a toolchain other than the pin, or the\n  lane evaluator reporting MISMATCH or UNSUPPORTED on the shipped claims — each is directly checkable\n  from the package.\n- The identities themselves: a finite pair set whose eight aggregates violate either identity — excluded\n  by the kernel check; the witness's control case shows where the T-only reading of the four-sign\n  identity fails.\n- The witness: a rerun of `identity_witness.py` that exits nonzero or prints FAIL.\n\n## 6. Limits and what remains open\n\n- No twin lower bound follows; (Cov_u) and (Dec_1) are untouched; the registry row stays PARTIAL. This\n  verdict or close the decorrelation hypotheses.\n- The cube-root cutoff lemma (N_odd3 = 0 on the sifted set when y ≥ (2X+2)^(1/3)) is NOT formalized: it\n  needs the roughness arithmetic (gcd(n(n+2), P(y)) = 1 with P(y) the primorial) and the bound\n  (least prime factor)^3 ≤ n for bigOmega n ≥ 3. It is the smallest next formalize step and would pin the\n  \"named arithmetic input\" the question asks for.\n- The sifting step itself (S_X as a filter of (X, 2X]) is arithmetic about the cutoff, not algebra; the\n  identities are stated and proved for every finite pair set, so the consumer supplies the sifted list.\n- `bigOmega` is a fresh core-only definition (fuel-based scan), not Mathlib's factorization; its\n  correctness rests on `leastDivFrom_spec` proved inside the file. No corpus Lean pin was imported.\n- Online search: a web search for published versions of the identity was attempted twice and the search\n  service was unreachable from this machine at this time; the owning note's section 3 source table (read\n  at the served revision, sha256 4c4b94f0...) already covers the published prior art for the identity's\n  components (Wu 2004 lemmas 2.2/2.3, Halberstam–Richert, the Tao parity-problem posts), and no published\n  statement of the exact bridge identity was located in the served record.\n\n## 7. Sources\n\n- Owning note: research/fold-arithmetic-bridge.md (served revision fetched 2026-10-27, sha256\n  4c4b94f09cdef9187648cd06af4bdaaee20fdd567fc5d66522875b03c63b1f1c, content hash header verified) —\n  Proposition 1 in section 2, the source table in section 3, Propositions 3–6 in sections 3a–4b, the next\n  obligation in section 5.\n- Registry rows: research/QUESTIONS.md (Q-fold-arithmetic-bridge, PARTIAL) and research/OUTCOMES.md\n  (fold-arithmetic-bridge entry, limits/revisit line).\n- Lane spec: lanes/formalize/spec — evaluator sha256\n  27f57bf7c41bcf1dd9eff6b6ed9cd31777150395de7dc3a34589c056841399d3 (fetched, hash-verified), starter\n  sha256 317f202870f8bd45fb4959bca344668c6602a0ccd683c1793146d9fcd7c382d3, pinned toolchain\n  leanprover/lean4:v4.33.1 (from the evaluator's own pin).\n- Router: research/README.md (read first per the brief).\n- Duplication check: served returns 6148 and 6145 (read in full; route 107 and route 352 step checks,\n  unrelated), the state-of-the-art theorem list, in-flight jobs 12315/12305/12236/12140/12105 (titles\n  only; queued explores in other areas).\n\n## 8. Structured next step\n\nQuestion: does the cube-root cutoff force N_odd3 = 0 on the sifted pair set, so the four-sign identity\nbecomes the twin-counting form 4T = S − A − B + C that the anchored fold ledger consumes? Method: extend\nthe shipped core-only Lean layer — prove (least prime factor of n)^3 ≤ n whenever bigOmega n ≥ 3\n(induction on bigOmega over the leastDivFrom layer), the primorial divisibility lemma (prime p ≤ y\nimplies p divides P(y)), and then N_odd3 = 0 on S_X = {n ∈ (X, 2X] : gcd(n(n+2), P(y)) = 1} when\ny ≥ (2X+2)^(1/3); keep the same toolchain pin and axiom policy and re-run the lane evaluator claims on\nthe extended package. Success: a sorry-free Lean proof of N_odd3 = 0 on the sifted set under the cutoff,\nwith the lane evaluator reporting its claims ok on the extended package and both bridge theorems still\ninside the axiom policy. Failure: the roughness arithmetic does not close in core-only Lean within the\nbudget (for example the primorial product or the least-prime-factor cube bound resists the fuel-based\nscan layer), or the evaluator refuses the extended package — then report the exact blocking lemma and\nkeep the cutoff lemma as the recorded next obligation.
