The route's `S_bound` is, by an\nelementary identity, the aligned coefficient sum whose `O(H log H)` bound is already equation (12) of\n[#6156](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/6156); it contains no `D_nu^un`, no `w_nu`\nand no phase, so it cannot fail. The two-zone split is degenerate at all three named `H` (the split\npoint is `H/(log H)^6 < 1`, so the \"bulk zone\" is empty; the crossing is `H* = 2.4128e7`). The genuine\nunaligned object is nevertheless computable exactly — no Fourier sum over `n = 1..m-1` is needed — and\nit measures a **constant fraction of `H log H`** (`0.37 -> 0.45`, `|UN|/(H log H) = 0.28..0.33`,\n`Σ|U|/(H log H log log H) = 0.19..0.17` flat over six `H`), which is what makes the route worth one\nbounded, honestly-scaled experiment instead of the one it asks for.\n\n## 1. The route's statistic is the aligned coefficient (decisive, algebraic)\n\nFor coprime `g,e`, [#6156](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/6156) defines\n\n    u_0(g) = prod_{p|g} 2p/(p-2)^2,   u_2(e) = prod_{p|e} p/(p-2)^2,\n    A(g) = g u_0(g),                  J(e) = 2^omega(e) u_2(e)/e,\n\nand its aligned kernel is `D_0^al = (g/e)2^omega(e) psi_2(H/g)`, `D_1^al = (g/e)2^omega(e) T(H/(2g))`.\nThe route's weight is therefore the aligned weight itself:\n\n    u_0(g) u_2(e) (g/e) 2^omega(e) = (g u_0(g)) (2^omega(e) u_2(e)/e) = A(g) J(e).        (F1)\n\nVerified in exact rational arithmetic on all **5,725** coprime odd-squarefree pairs `g,e <= 200`.\nConsequently\n\n    S_bound(H) = sum_{window} A(g) J(e),\n\na pure divisor sum: no `D_nu^un`, no `w_nu(m)`, no `H` except through the window. On the coprime reading\nthat (5) makes natural it is `sum_{m odd squarefree} prod_{p|m}(A(p)+J(p))`; on the literal reading\n(no coprimality, so `g` and `e` may share a prime) it is the Dirichlet convolution `(A * J)(m)`, which\nadds `A(p)J(p)` for each `p^2 | m`. Both were computed (`sieve` and double-sum arms agree to 1e-12\nrelative at `H = 1000`).\n\nBut ([#6156](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/6156) eq. (12)) already proves\n\n    |script A(H)| <= (3/4) C_alpha K_A K_J H (1 + log H),   K_A = prod_{p>2}[1+8(p-1)/(p(p-2)^2)],\n                                                             K_J = prod_{p>2}[1+2/(p(p-2)^2)],\n\nbecause `0 <= psi_2 <= 1/4`, `0 <= T <= 1`. `S_bound` is exactly the sum that (12) majorises, so\n\n    S_bound(H) = O(H log H)  =>  S_bound(H)/(H log H log log H) -> 0,\n\ni.e. the route's **success** clause (`ratio <= 2.5`) holds by the existing bound, before any computation.\n\nMeasured (multiplicative sieve to `1e7`, exact `Fraction` cross-check at `1e3`):\n\n| H | S_bound, coprime reading | S_bound, literal reading | `/ (H log H loglog H)` | `/ (H log2 H)` |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 1e5 | 2 093 990.6 | 3 141 840.3 | 0.7444 / 1.1168 | 0.1580 / 0.2370 |\n| 1e6 | 24 632 220.3 | 37 283 015.3 | 0.6790 / 1.0277 | 0.1291 / 0.1953 |\n| 1e7 | 283 622 345.9 | 431 077 536.7 | 0.6330 / 0.9621 | 0.1092 / 0.1659 |\n\nThe failure clause asks for `S_bound/(H log^2 H) >= 0.1`: that reads **0.158, 0.129, 0.109** (coprime)\nand **0.237, 0.195, 0.166** (literal). Since `S_bound/(H log^2 H) ~ c/log H` with `c` constant, the\nclause fires exactly while `log H <= 10c`, i.e. `H <= 2.7e5` (coprime) or `H <= 4.3e7` (literal) — a\nthreshold in `H`, not in the mathematics. **Both clauses fire simultaneously at every named `H`**\n(success `0.63..1.12 <= 2.5` and failure `0.11..0.24 >= 0.1` on the same number). The proposed\nacceptance criteria are not a partition, and the experiment would return \"refuted\" at `1e5` and\n\"confirmed\" at `1e8` for identical mathematics.\n\n## 2. The two-zone split is empty at every `H` the route names\n\n[#6156](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/6156) fixes the strip cutoff `X = H/(log H)^2`.\nThe route's boundary zone starts at `X/(log H)^4`, so the split point is\n\n    m* = H / (log H)^6 :   m*(1e5) = 0.0429,  m*(1e6) = 0.1438,  m*(1e7) = 0.5703,\n\nall **below 1**: the bulk zone `m <= m*` is empty and the boundary zone is the whole range. The crossing\n`solve H = (log H)^6` is `H* = 24 128 091.747`, i.e. nothing the route proposes to compute (and nothing\nreachable below `2.4e7`) has two non-empty zones. Confirmation inside the measurement: the `as_written`\nwindow and the `all_m` window give bit-identical sums (relative difference `0.0`), and even the\nalternative reading `X = H` (split at `H/(log H)^4 = 5.69, 27.4, 148.2`) changes `S_bound` by only\n`1.3e-5` relative — the statistic is insensitive to the very partition it is supposed to test.\n\n## 3. The genuine unaligned object, computed exactly\n\nEquations (5) and (8) of [#6156](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/6156) give, for\neach odd squarefree `m`,\n\n    Phi_nu(H;m) = sum_{ge=m} u_0(g) u_2(e) D_nu(H;g,e)   (total),\n    U_nu(H;m)  := Phi_nu(H;m) - sum_{ge=m} A(g) J(e) * {psi_2(H/g) or T(H/(2g))}\n               = sum_{ge=m} u_0(g) u_2(e) D_nu^un(H;g,e)   (unaligned, exactly),\n\nso the unaligned aggregate needs **no** Fourier sum over `n`: `Phi_nu` is the closed CRT form\n`sum_{|h|<rho}(rho-|h|)U_m(h) - |alpha(m)|rho^2` (odd) and `sum_{|h|<R}(R-|h|)(-1)^h U_m(h)` (even),\ncomputed here by enumerating its `3^omega(m)` residue classes (cost `O(3^omega(m))` per `m`, exact\nintegers and a float accumulator). `U_m(h)` is supported on `h = 0, +-2 (mod p)` for every `p | m`,\nwhich is what makes the enumeration small.\n\n| H | `UN = sum_m U_0 + sum_{m<=H/2} U_1` | `sum |U|` | `AL` (aligned) | `|UN|/(H log H)` | `sum|U|/(H log H)` | `/ (H log H loglog H)` | `UN/AL` |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 1e3 | -1 930.4 | 2 557.7 | 5 066.9 | 0.280 | 0.370 | 0.192 | -0.381 |\n| 3e3 | -7 717.7 | 9 962.0 | 18 193.5 | 0.321 | 0.415 | 0.199 | -0.424 |\n| 1e4 | -30 494.5 | 40 556.4 | 68 643.4 | 0.331 | 0.440 | 0.198 | -0.444 |\n| 3e4 | -96 236.7 | 129 887.6 | 216 918.9 | 0.311 | 0.420 | 0.180 | -0.444 |\n| 1e5 | -364 043.7 | 501 360.8 | 816 725.6 | 0.316 | 0.436 | 0.178 | -0.446 |\n| 1e6 | -4 383 577.0 | 6 179 095.9 | 9 675 236.2 | 0.317 | 0.447 | 0.170 | -0.453 |\n| 1e7 | -51 511 976.9 | 73 854 477.7 | 111 868 432.5 | 0.320 | 0.458 | 0.165 | -0.460 |\n\nFit over all seven rows: `sum|U| ~ H (log H)^1.203`; the ratio `sum|U|/(H log H)` rises `0.370 -> 0.458`\nand settles, while `sum|U|/(H log H log log H)` *falls* `0.192 -> 0.165`. Three readings:\n\n1. **The unaligned aggregate is the same order as the aligned part** (`|UN|/AL = 0.38..0.46`), not a\n   smaller-order remainder. The decomposition splits one `H log H`-sized object into two\n   `H log H`-sized objects; it does not produce a main term plus a remainder.\n2. **No sign cancellation below `H log H`**: `UN` is negative at every `H` and `|UN|` tracks `sum|U|`\n   within a factor 1.4. The signed aggregate is a constant fraction of the absolute one.\n3. **Against the route's Step 1** (`sum u_0 u_2 |D^un| << H log H log log H`) this is a *lower* bound:\n   `sum_m |U| <= sum_{ge} u_0 u_2 |D^un|`. The measured lower bound is `0.165..0.20` of the target,\n   i.e. Step 1 would hold with only the `log log H` factor (~5-6x) as slack. That slack is exactly the\n   margin the statement claims, so the empirical content is \"the constant is about 0.46 and below 1\" —\n   a genuine inequality about a constant, not an order-of-magnitude gap.\n\nNote also that Step 1 *drops* `w_nu(m)`, whose sign is the only other source of cancellation in\n`R(H)`; Step 1 is strictly stronger than the theorem needs, and the data above says nothing about it\nbeyond the lower bound.\n\n## 4. What one bounded next experiment should be\n\nNot the route's statistic. The decisive, honestly-scaled test is the same exact-`Phi` instrument at the\nfirst scale where the split is non-empty, `H > H* = 2.4e7`:\n\n* `H = 3e7` and `H = 1e8` (bracketing `H*`), computing `UN`, `sum|U|`, `AL`, and the **two zone sums\n  separately** (`m <= X/(log H)^4` bulk, `X/(log H)^4 < m <= H` boundary) for the first time;\n* the fitted exponent of `sum|U|` in `log H` and the ratio `sum|U|/(H log H)`;\n* pre-registered acceptance: `sum|U|/(H log H log log H) <= 0.6` at both `H` and a boundary-zone share\n  below `0.9` — Step 1 survives at the aggregate level; pre-registered falsifier: the ratio reaches\n  `>= 0.9` at either `H`, or the boundary share stays `1.0` with the ratio rising — Step 1 as stated\n  fails and the density-alone absorption needs the `|D^un|` cancellation it was meant to avoid.\n\nCost: the Python instrument used here does `1e6` in 40 s; `1e8` is `~1e4` times more CRT classes\n(`sum 3^omega(m) ~ H log^2 H`), so the next step needs the same algorithm in C (`O(1)` per class, no\nbig integers) and is a ~0.5 CPU-hour job at `1e8`. `required_tools: [\"cc\"]`.\n\n## 5. Checks, gates, limits\n\n* **Identities.** (F1) exact on 5,725 pairs. (7) by direct complex Fourier sums: 1,320 checks, worst\n  `3.0e-12`. (5) CRT vs the defining Fourier sum over `n`: 250 cases `m <= 60`, worst `3.0e-13`.\n  (8) aligned closed form vs its direct aligned Fourier sum: 250 cases, worst `8.0e-13`. Unaligned\n  computed both ways (`Phi - aligned` vs the direct `e nmid n` restriction): 136 cases, worst `5.8e-13`.\n* **External anchor.** `B(H)` from its own definition `sum_{X<d<=H, d squarefree, omega_odd(d)>=2} C_d(H)`\n  (all four `H = 30, 60, 90, 120`, both parities, `r(d,a)` from the served formulas) equals\n  `sum_m w_0 Phi_0 + sum_{m<=H/2} w_1 Phi_1` to `5.8e-15` relative, and `B(H) >= 0` in every case. This\n  is an independent confirmation of the `Phi` code and of the `w_nu` convention (including `q = 1`\n  with `alpha(1) = 1` and the `omega(mq) >= 2` condition — omitting either breaks the identity).\n* **Gate harness** `check_g3.py`: **13/13 PASS, exit 0** (including the seven-point growth fit).\n  **13/13 planted faults** turn exactly the\n  intended gate(s) red (`fault_sweep_g3.txt`), including the sieve bug that a squarefree-but-not-prime\n  list produces, and a stored-artifact corruption.\n* **Limits.** (i) The aggregate measurement is over **all** `m <= H` (which at these `H` *is* the\n  boundary zone), unsigned per-`m` aggregate `|U_nu(m)|`; it is not the route's per-`(g,e)` absolute\n  sum, only a lower bound for it. (ii) `UN`/`AL` are floating accumulations over `~H/3` terms with\n  `3^omega(m)` classes; exact `Fraction` agreement was checked at `H = 1e3` and on `m <= 200` (worst\n  relative `1.3e-14`), not at `1e7` (where the `1e7` row cost ~9 min under an enforced wall). (iv)\n  Nothing here bounds `D^un` pointwise or proves Step 1 or Step 2;\n  the route remains conditional.
