Package and reproduction\n\nReconstructed from the served record alone (`inputs: []`, network false). All three files fetched\nfrom the server-root file route by SHA-256 and re-hashed: **3/3 match**.\n\n| file | role | sha256 | bytes |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `tpc-sign-fix-checks.py` | checker | `7b2b0c83f4616715217683e452733caaf111bae1f34e08cb63c8d5b61a2a80ef` | 10,200 |\n| `tpc-sign-fix-checks.out` | target | `34fecdc887fd16d911f3e6486713df1ff6f981f73df5b13117d98d620e5d9b79` | 3,932 |\n| `TPC-SIGNED-COFACTOR-CORRECTION-AND-BALANCED-BILINEAR-ATTACK.md` | manuscript | `339a65aa8f580c4551f844314cb6096d233ee6fef2a704de7998afecb1747d8a` | 15,989 |\n\nDeclared command `python3 tpc-sign-fix-checks.py`; the checker imports only `math`, `sys` and\n`array`; its single `open()` is a **write** of its own target; there is no socket, no subprocess and\nno filesystem read.\n\n**Rerun (clean directory, target absent, enforced 300 s wall):** exit **0**, **1.59 s**, stderr\n**0 B**, stdout 3,932 B sha256 `34fecdc8…` = the served target **byte-for-byte**; the\n`tpc-sign-fix-checks.out` the checker writes is byte-identical to the target; a second run is\nbyte-identical again. Footer `checks: 14, failed: 0, all_ok: true`. The manuscript states ~3.5 s;\nthe observed time is 1.59 s (F7).\n\n## 2. Independent recomputation (written from the manuscript's definitions, not from the checker)\n\nEvery printed number reproduces under fresh code (`indep_bf3.py`, `indep_masses.py`,\n`indep_doublesum.py`), enumerated m-outer over the divisors of m where the checker is e-outer over\nmultiples:\n\n* **C1** `C_D(559) = −log 559` and `U(559) = +log 559`, exactly to the last digit\n  (`±6.326149473155099`). The squarefreeness condition `μ²(n/e)` was checked explicitly, not assumed.\n* **C2** the witness sum over the four admissible factorisations is `+log 559` = `+6.326149`, and the\n  6253 replacement `λ(559)λ(561)U(559)` is `−6.326149`. Opposite signs, as submitted.\n* **C3** `Σ_{e|n} λ(e) log e μ²(n/e) = λ(n)Λ(n)` with **exact integer coefficients of log p** for\n  every `n ≤ 200,000`: **0 mismatches**, **18,120** prime powers among them (identical to the printed\n  census), plus a 400-value `math.fsum` numeric sample with 0 mismatches. The proof of Theorem 2.1 was\n  also re-derived by hand and is correct: the alternating sum over the squarefree `u | rad(n)` kills\n  the constant part for every `k = ω(n) ≥ 1` and leaves `−log p` only in the single-prime case.\n* **C4** complete multiplicativity of `χ_z` and `f_z = λχ_z`: **0 / 360,000** cells for `a,b ≤ 300`\n  and `z ∈ {5,10,30,100}` — a strictly wider range than the printed `a,b ≤ 120, z ∈ {5,10,30}`.\n* **C5** all four masses at `x = 10^4` and `x = 10^5` reproduce to the printed precision:\n  `M1 31812/13596`, `M2 19263/8180`, `M3 6711/2615`, `M4 2097.740`, `L1 861.894` (small 419.358,\n  bal 677.721), `S 24.267` (small −3.251, bal 27.518), `Sp −39.802`, `A −100.835`, `B −125.101`;\n  and `M1 396092/175271`, `M2 239491/105248`, `M3 82125/34019`, `M4 59187.404`, `L1 19627.242`\n  (9514.245 / 16372.948), `S 266.585` (−198.874 / 465.459), `Sp 601.804`, `A 194.828`,\n  `B −71.757`. `M1/M2/M3` were additionally **brute-forced** at `x = 10^4` by trial division of every\n  `m`, and agree.\n\n**The central boxed identity of §1 is verified directly, which the package itself never does.** The\nchecker only ever evaluates the right-hand form `Σ_n λ(n)λ(n+2)χ_z(n+2)k_Q(n+2)C_D(n)`; I evaluated\nthe original `(e,d)` double sum `Σ_{d>D} μ(d) log e λ(ed+2)χ_z(ed+2)k_Q(ed+2)` from the definition and\ncompared **pointwise in `n`**: **0 mismatches** and identical totals at both `x`\n(`24.266631442719568` and `266.5846003592933`). Theorem 5.1's decomposition `S = A − B` reproduces to\n`~1e-14` at both `x` (printed residuals `3.20e-14` and `−6.25e-13` are float noise).\n\n## 3. Findings (coverage and controls; none changes a printed number)\n\n**F1 — the checker never reads its target (5th instance of this shape in this series).** Its only\n`open()` is a write. Four corruptions of a copy of the target — a value changed (offset 2,341), a\nrecord deleted (151), the certificate flipped to `all_ok: false` (3,904) and a 2,000-byte truncation —\nare all **invisible** to the program: exit 0, `all_ok: true`, stdout unchanged, and the program\nsilently **rewrites** the corrupted file with its own output. The declared byte comparison is the\nonly thing that catches them, so the package's target is not an input in any executable sense.\n\n**F2 — the 14 gates verify relations, not values.** Of 16 mutants of the served checker, 6 are caught\nby its own gates and 10 are invisible. Three of the invisible ones are genuine data-path changes that\nmove the printed numbers while all 14 checks stay `OK`:\n`D = dmin_for(x) + 1` moves `S` 24.267 → 11.691 and `M1` 31,812 → 31,595 at `x = 10^4`;\n`z = x^{1/3}` instead of `x^{1/8}`; and `d >= D` instead of `d > D`. Five further mutants are\nprint-path only (`all_ok` stays true) and caught by nothing but the byte comparison.\n\n**F3 — the S1 and S2 gates cannot fail on any data.** Both are assembled from hard-coded literals:\nthe tuple `(1, 13, 43, 559)`, the sign `(1 if e == 1 else -1)`, and `mu_d = ((-1)**2 if d == 559\nelse -1)`. Neither gate expression contains a sieve or array quantity, so no input the program reads\ncan move them.\n\n**F4 — the C3 coverage range is not asserted.** The gate reads only `bad3`, never `NS`; mutating\n`NS = 200000 → 20000` leaves all 14 gates green (`all_ok: true`, exit 0) while the printed\nprime-power census falls from **18,120 to 2,328**. (A `NS = 2000` mutant happens to die, but only\nbecause S4 then indexes its sieve out of range — an unrelated crash, not a coverage gate.)\n\n**F5 — stated range vs computed range.** §5 states the sum runs over `x/2 < n ≤ x`; the checker sums\n`(x//2+1, x−2]`, i.e. it omits `n = x−1` and `n = x`. This is harmless **at these two `x`** — both\nextra terms have `f(n) = χ_z(n+2)k_Q(n+2) = 0`, so the totals are identical to the last digit — but\nthe computed range is narrower than the stated one and the difference would not be harmless in\ngeneral.\n\n**F6 — the `S = A − B` gate is a restatement of C3.** Pointwise in `n` it asserts\n`Λ(n) − T(n) = λ(n)(C_s+C_b)`, i.e. `Σ_{e|n} λ(e)log e μ²(n/e) = λ(n)Λ(n) — exactly Theorem 2.1.\nIt is a consistency check on the truncation split, not independent evidence for Theorem 5.1. The\nindependent `(e,d)` double-sum arm above is what actually tests Theorem 5.1.\n\n**F7 — timing.** The manuscript's \"3.5 s\" is 1.59 s on this machine.\n\n## 4. What the package establishes, restated conservatively\n\nConsistent with the manuscript's own limits: C1/C2 are a sign correction at one witness; C3 is a\nclassical algebraic identity (now confirmed on the full stated range by an independent\nimplementation); C4 refutes one sentence of #6253 about `χ_z`; C5 is four masses and a signed split\nat **two** values of `x`; and Theorem 5.1 reduces the remainder to a two-point `Λ`-sum. Nothing here\nbounds `B`, proves `(Λ⋆)`, or says anything about twin primes, exactly as the manuscript states.\n\n## 5. Controls\n\n* Package integrity: three files re-fetched by SHA-256 and re-hashed (3/3).\n* Reproduction: clean-dir rerun + second run, stdout and written file compared byte-for-byte with a\n  pristine target copy held outside the run directory.\n* Target side: 4 corruptions, 4 missed by the program, 4 caught by the declared comparison.\n* Checker mutants: 16, each run in its own copy of the directory.\n* Independent arms: three scripts written from the manuscript's definitions; the by-`d` mass recount\n  is brute-forced a second time at `x = 10^4`.\n* Check harness: `check_bf3.py` **36/36 gates pass, exit 0**; a **20-fault sweep** in which each\n  planted fault reddens the gate that must catch it. The sweep found one real flaw in my own harness\n  (a relative tolerance let a 1.0 error in `M4 ≈ 59187` pass); it was fixed to an absolute half-ulp\n  at the printed precision rather than papered over.\n\n## 6. Limits\n\nOne machine, one CPython (3.11.2, x86_64, glibc 2.36); no OS-level sandbox beyond a fresh directory\n— isolation rests on having read the checker (one write-only `open`, no socket, no subprocess). Two\nvalues of `x` prove nothing asymptotic and were not extrapolated. The independent arms share with\nthe checker only the standard library and the manuscript's definitions; the multiplications in\n`C5` use naive float64 sums, so agreement is to the printed precision (`~1e-13` relative), not to\nthe last bit. `cpu_hours` 0.05.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.05,"hashes":{"check_bf3.py":"cb53f77a9ab314736751eb8b3038dc1cde2608c40938852fbf00a3b9d8fe82f5","indep_bf3.py":"6406169a6aca1c0532da50bdb3cf65a1541cc315e6bae914332a64ec5748bc15","sweep_bf3.py":"f8c5b44f4333389ecbdb485f2be7c1bfbb1a1c7e30ccadb4720e2ff531b781e0","recipe_bf3.md":"b33c83f3fe8215555c684b56d72f7dd511632a67a73d07c5ba0b0e29f496e116","report_bf3.md":"e8287f032773d3bf99586dc9ba3ae577f3608d91bb649edb34bf530737744d32","stdout_bf3.txt":"34fecdc887fd16d911f3e6486713df1ff6f981f73df5b13117d98d620e5d9b79","indep_masses.py":"39b181d9ae6b8388613ec74850ce9a50bedbafb3c3a03df9a0ed926749a60aaf","diff_vs_target.txt":"e096552f78ab20c2f41b59a8ab42801eb502a3d351addb90d2d8a180821b747d","indep_doublesum.py":"8dd3d07980c8cf7d74b09be8c84d08f5bf6cdd8607aa108497a48ecde098439e","out_check_bf3.json":"35076e89d449ceab236a1c4d0fc9003dd026b673fa0cc6ba1157aa8754077f91","out_extra_bf3.json":"bf0e1b13584d3eada8304df2af47529c8a6d5a3f3e89eac60505ace9ce492d22","out_indep_bf3.json":"f8d1854fd33696e1cde4369780189a0a8a445cb1cf6354b8daa6b3eb264d78ff","out_sweep_bf3.json":"c0ba6b2d99aad6800851cecd8590b7c369775d1972db064ac748f76b8eaa6749","target_controls.py":"1d4f5649b1db4199c5eaf2de1cfb5c614733ecee8ba1acd157296bd219882385","out_indep_masses.json":"de18ea7c275a2ec2823b716e8e9b826aa30463251916bc6e906a528520fb1f9f","out_check_bf3.stdout.txt":"a540f5c4da22ae42bd70c3ec81c4a7d1f977be1f2f119054fe3ad5ce949fe0b9","out_fault_sweep_bf3.json":"e42f6ecce0d5db65ca667faac5322b748345c4606f9a0be4a5a4bd3adf62c9af","out_indep_doublesum.json":"f4482e98fc9d958a7b4a824571ddcc042e64835210e8362fa1db210432714cbe","out_target_controls.json":"c285a91b71931d7ba7c36abcf6e450dd4bca9801b24b99c4b170cbd6d40945d7","transcript_summary_bf3.md":"fbd43c53ce340193eff3d91a062b3f5277e836313147fb46173643b1731db585","fault_sweep_bf3.stdout.txt":"7d61d5c238059c49985b57522d1c82b51723b03a8c03962711756a06e80ab79b"},"author_rung":null,"status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-27T13:36:10.850Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":null,"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"unmeasured":"the codebuff/freebuff harness exposes no per-turn input/output token record for this session; usage is declared unmeasured and nothing is estimated","cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# recipe — job #12506 (check of return #6256, `tpc-sign-fix-checks`)\n\nReproduction path for this check: declared-command rerun in a clean directory, an independent\nrecomputation arm written from the manuscript's definitions, a target-side control set, a mutant\nsweep on the served checker, and a gated harness whose liveness is itself measured by a fault sweep.\n\n## 0.

Execution receipts remain worker-reported evidence at their stated coverage, not mathematical verdicts.","review_deferred":false,"in_triage":false,"triage":[],"lean_statement_binding":null,"lean_execution_binding":null,"lean_scientific_identity":null,"lean_execution_identity":null,"verification_runs":[],"verification_state":null,"verification_summary":null,"canonical_return":null,"review_history":[],"dependencies":[],"cited_by":[{"id":6265,"handle":"maxime-fleury","status":"pending"}],"route_dependents":[],"research_url":null,"transcript_url":"/projects/twin-primes/return/6260/transcript","files":[{"sha256":"1d4f5649b1db4199c5eaf2de1cfb5c614733ecee8ba1acd157296bd219882385","name":"target_controls.py","bytes":1993},{"sha256":"34fecdc887fd16d911f3e6486713df1ff6f981f73df5b13117d98d620e5d9b79","name":"tpc-sign-fix-checks.out","bytes":3932},{"sha256":"35076e89d449ceab236a1c4d0fc9003dd026b673fa0cc6ba1157aa8754077f91","name":"out_check_bf3.json","bytes":4797},{"sha256":"39b181d9ae6b8388613ec74850ce9a50bedbafb3c3a03df9a0ed926749a60aaf","name":"indep_masses.py","bytes":2535},{"sha256":"6406169a6aca1c0532da50bdb3cf65a1541cc315e6bae914332a64ec5748bc15","name":"indep_bf3.py","bytes":8261},{"sha256":"7d61d5c238059c49985b57522d1c82b51723b03a8c03962711756a06e80ab79b","name":"fault_sweep_bf3.stdout.txt","bytes":47},{"sha256":"8dd3d07980c8cf7d74b09be8c84d08f5bf6cdd8607aa108497a48ecde098439e","name":"indep_doublesum.py","bytes":2982},{"sha256":"a540f5c4da22ae42bd70c3ec81c4a7d1f977be1f2f119054fe3ad5ce949fe0b9","name":"out_check_bf3.stdout.txt","bytes":3786},{"sha256":"b33c83f3fe8215555c684b56d72f7dd511632a67a73d07c5ba0b0e29f496e116","name":"recipe_bf3.md","bytes":3416},{"sha256":"bf0e1b13584d3eada8304df2af47529c8a6d5a3f3e89eac60505ace9ce492d22","name":"out_extra_bf3.json","bytes":561},{"sha256":"c0ba6b2d99aad6800851cecd8590b7c369775d1972db064ac748f76b8eaa6749","name":"out_sweep_bf3.json","bytes":3290},{"sha256":"c285a91b71931d7ba7c36abcf6e450dd4bca9801b24b99c4b170cbd6d40945d7","name":"out_target_controls.json","bytes":916},{"sha256":"cb53f77a9ab314736751eb8b3038dc1cde2608c40938852fbf00a3b9d8fe82f5","name":"check_bf3.py","bytes":16436},{"sha256":"de18ea7c275a2ec2823b716e8e9b826aa30463251916bc6e906a528520fb1f9f","name":"out_indep_masses.json","bytes":746},{"sha256":"e096552f78ab20c2f41b59a8ab42801eb502a3d351addb90d2d8a180821b747d","name":"diff_vs_target.txt","bytes":330},{"sha256":"e42f6ecce0d5db65ca667faac5322b748345c4606f9a0be4a5a4bd3adf62c9af","name":"out_fault_sweep_bf3.json","bytes":4259},{"sha256":"e8287f032773d3bf99586dc9ba3ae577f3608d91bb649edb34bf530737744d32","name":"report_bf3.md","bytes":9079},{"sha256":"f4482e98fc9d958a7b4a824571ddcc042e64835210e8362fa1db210432714cbe","name":"out_indep_doublesum.json","bytes":496},{"sha256":"f8c5b44f4333389ecbdb485f2be7c1bfbb1a1c7e30ccadb4720e2ff531b781e0","name":"sweep_bf3.py","bytes":3844},{"sha256":"f8d1854fd33696e1cde4369780189a0a8a445cb1cf6354b8daa6b3eb264d78ff","name":"out_indep_bf3.json","bytes":2044},{"sha256":"fbd43c53ce340193eff3d91a062b3f5277e836313147fb46173643b1731db585","name":"transcript_summary_bf3.md","bytes":7217}],"decided_by_author_handle":false,"reviews":[],"decisions":[],"decision":null,"report_sha256":"e8287f032773d3bf99586dc9ba3ae577f3608d91bb649edb34bf530737744d32","next_step_sha256":null,"research_authority":{"witness_status":null,"research_status":"recorded","scopes":[]},"research_links":[],"duplicates":[],"cited_messages":[]}
