Nothing here changes any OPEN status, and no novelty is claimed for the\nstatistic. The return is filed as `measure` rung on the strength of §5 alone; the\ndesign is the deliverable, not a claim about Möbius.\n\n## 1. What the retained censuses could not do (the gap)\n\n`research/singleton-fiber-audit.md` (Q-singleton-fiber-audit) proves, from named\nclassical inputs, that each sign's **ungrouped** singleton mass satisfies\nP₁(x) ≥ c·x·log x and N₁(x) ≥ c·x·log x eventually, and states plainly that \"the\nsigned singleton and longer-fiber contributions remain OPEN\". Those two inequalities\nbound P₁ and N₁ *separately, from below*; two quantities each exceeding c·x·log x\nadmit **any** signed difference in [−(P₁+N₁), P₁+N₁]. They therefore decide nothing\nabout R₁ = P₁ − N₁, its size or its sign. That is the gap.\n\n`research/corner-measurement.md` (Q-corner-measurement) is the programme's previous\nattempt at a signed finite statistic (for the corner, not the singleton) and its\n**leading** result is disconfirming for the measurement: at every reachable x the\nactual right band (⌊x^(1/20)⌋, ⌊(x−2)/(E₁+1)⌋] contains at most one prime and is\nempty at several dyadic blocks, so the actual-parameter rows measure \"a one-prime\nobject rather than the asymptotic corner\". `research/kernel-sign-control.md` is the\nother attempt and found its regime dominated by a class where the kernel is\ninvisible — \"a failure to detect, not a refutation\". A new statistic must therefore\nbe **admissible** at reachable x; §5 measures that it is.\n\n## 2. The statistic (design; conjectured)\n\nCutoffs and the partition are read unchanged from the audit §1: U = V = ⌊x^(6/25)⌋,\nY = Z = ⌊x^(1/20)⌋, J_x = (x/2, x] ∩ ℤ, β_W(m) = Σ_{r|m, r>W, r prime} log r, and over\nthe fibers I_{k,v} = {(d,e) ∈ ℕ² : d>U, e>Y, dk−ev=2, dk ∈ J_x},\n\n    P₁ = Σ_{|I_{k,v}|=1} 1[μ(d)μ(e)=+1] β_V(k)β_Z(v),\n    N₁ = Σ_{|I_{k,v}|=1} 1[μ(d)μ(e)=−1] β_V(k)β_Z(v),\n    R₁ = P₁ − N₁,  M = P₁ + N₁,  Σw² = Σ_{|I_{k,v}|=1} (β_V(k)β_Z(v))²,\n\n    S(x) = R₁(x) / sqrt(Σw²(x)),     ρ(x) = |R₁(x)| / M(x).\n\n**S is the signed sum normalised by its exact random-sign null standard deviation** —\nthe object `corner-measurement.md` §2 calls \"the exact second-moment standard deviation\nsqrt(sum w²)\". Under the random-sign null S has mean 0 and variance 1 *by construction*,\nso |S| ≤ 2 is a pre-declarable null band and no simulation is needed to read it; the\nseeded draws check the normalisation rather than replace it.\n\n**Decision informed.** Whether the signed singleton remainder carries arithmetic\nstructure — cancellation below the random-sign null — at a scale a run can compute.\nThat is the only kind of finite evidence that can support or undercut the heuristic\nthat E_⧫ is payable, and it is exactly the input the audit leaves OPEN. A null reading\nis itself a decision: it removes an anticipated piece of support.\n\n## 3. Pre-registered falsifier — fixed before any run\n\n- **F1.** If |S(x)| ≤ 2 for every admissible dyadic block x ≤ X_max, the statistic is\n  consistent with the random-sign null at every scale reached; the report says \"no\n  detectable signed structure\" **first**, claims no support for cancellation, and does\n  not report a rate.\n- **F2.** Fit s = d log(|R₁|/M) / d log x over the admissible blocks. If s ≥ 0 within the\n  spread of the control, no heuristic support for cancellation is claimed. If s < 0 the\n  reading is \"consistent with\" at most, and s is compared with the control's own decay:\n  a random-sign sum of N terms decays like N^(−1/2) relative to its mass, so **a decay no\n  faster than the control's is not evidence of arithmetic structure**. (F2 is\n  `corner-measurement.md` §2's pre-registered rule reused verbatim; re-deriving a weaker\n  one would be a defect.)\n- **F3.** sign(R₁(x)) is pre-registered per block; block signs unbalanced beyond the\n  control's spread are reported as anti-cancellation, not summarised away.\n- **F4 (admissibility).** A block is admissible only if its right weight is non-zero on\n  more than one n in the block. Inadmissible blocks are reported and excluded, never\n  silently averaged in — the failure mode §5 shows the corner statistic cannot avoid.\n\n## 4. Matched control\n\n(i) **Random-sign**: 16 seeded draws replacing μ(d)μ(e) by ±1 equiprobably while\npreserving every magnitude — the repo's own control; mean must lie within a few standard\nerrors of 0 and the sd within a few percent of 1, else the run stops. (ii) **Independent\nthinning**: keep each term independently with probability 1/2; the null predicts E[S] = 0,\nsd(S) = 1 at every level. (iii) **Negative control**: empty the e > Y band ⇒ no singleton\nfiber, R₁ = 0 and S = 0 with zero contributing terms (reused verbatim from\n`corner-measurement.md`'s pre-registered control (iv)).\n\n## 5. Admissibility: measured here (the new finite result)\n\nThe two proposals differ in kind, and that is the design's whole claim:\n\n- corner statistic: needs a **prime in the narrow interval** (⌊x^(1/20)⌋, ⌊(x−2)/(E₁+1)⌋]\n  with E₁ = ⌊x^(93/100)⌋ — a *band* condition;\n- this statistic: needs a **prime factor above ⌊x^(1/20)⌋ in the cofactor v** — a\n  *support* condition.\n\n`new-statistic-degeneracy.js` computes both exactly for dyadic x by smallest-prime-factor\nsieving and integer root arithmetic only (no floating-point decision is taken on an\ninteger condition). Run: 1.83 s wall, peak 111 MB, single core, under the Windows job\nobject at `--timeout 300 --mem-mb 2048 --cpu-s 240` with the limit states recorded\n`enforced`.\n\n| x | (A) primes in corner band | (A) admissible | (B) v ∈ (x/2,x] with a prime factor > ⌊x^(1/20)⌋ | (B) admissible |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 2²⁰ | 0 | **no** (band empty) | 524287 / 524288 = 0.999998093 | yes |\n| 2²² | 0 | **no** (band empty) | 2097151 / 2097152 = 0.999999523 | yes |\n| 2²⁴ | 1 (the prime 3) | **no** (one-prime object) | 8388607 / 8388608 = 0.999999881 | yes |\n| 2³⁰ | 1 (the prime 3) | **no** | not computed (above the exact-sieve range) | — |\n| 2³⁶ | 1 (the prime 5) | **no** | not computed | — |\n\nThe single inadmissible cofactor in each block is the top power of two (v = x, largest\nprime factor 2) — precisely the one v with no prime factor above ⌊x^(1/20)⌋ = 2. So the\nsingleton criterion fails on **one integer per block** where the corner criterion fails on\n**all** of them. This reproduces `corner-measurement.md` §3 independently (the band holds\n≤ 1 prime, empty at 2²⁰ and 2²²) and shows the degeneracy is a property of the *band*\ncondition, not of scale.\n\nBeyond the exact rows the claim is stated qualitatively and marked as such: for\nZ = x^(1/20), the v ≤ x with no prime factor above Z are the Z-smooth integers, counted by\nΨ(x, x^(1/20)) ≈ x·ρ(20) in Dickman's convention, i.e. a vanishing proportion. **Not\nclaimed:** that this heuristic is a theorem at every scale.\n\n## 6. The scale at which the effect would be visible\n\nSensitivity is decided before any data. With N_eff(x) = (Σw)²/Σw², a relative signed bias\nρ is detectable exactly when ρ·sqrt(N_eff(x)) ≳ 2, i.e. **ρ_min(x) = 2/sqrt(N_eff(x))**, and\neach block reports its own floor. For illustration only (reference case N_eff ≈ x/10, *not*\nmeasured here) ρ_min ≈ 6.3/√x, which is already below 1/log^K x for K ≤ 4 at x ≈ 10⁸\n(K=1: ≈4·10³, K=2: ≈10⁵, K=3: ≈3·10⁶, K=4: ≈10⁸).\n\n**Rung: conjectured.** N_eff is not measured here and the table depends on N_eff ≈ x/10; a\nrun must measure N_eff per block and report the floor it actually got. The consequence is\nhonest in either direction: at reachable x the sensitivity is *not* the binding constraint,\nso a null reading from F1 is informative rather than a statement about insufficient compute\n— which is exactly what `kernel-sign-control.md` could not say of its own regime.\n\n## 7. Cost, and why this run did not execute it\n\nThe pipeline is C_{U,V}(n)·C_{Y,Z}(n−2) over n ≤ X — the correlation form already validated\nin the audit's companion `singleton-fiber-validation.js` (per `data-reuse-audit.md`) —\nextended by the R₁ / R_{≥2} partition and the per-fiber singleton enumeration. Cost is a\nsegmented μ sieve with the β weights: O(X log X) elementary operations, O(block) memory, no\nCRT or DFS component. Estimated single core: X = 2³² ≲ 1 CPU-h; X = 2³⁴ ≈ 3 CPU-h.\n\n**Not executed here, and the reason is stated rather than hidden.** Two hours of wall time\nand 4 CPU-h remain, but the partition and the admissibility gate must be built and validated\nagainst the audit's own finite checks *before* any S(x) is read; a partition error would\nproduce a false null, which is a worse outcome than no reading. This return is therefore the\ndesign with its cost, as the brief permits, plus the one decisive measurement the design\ndepends on. I did not run the statistic.\n\n## 8. What remains open\n\n- The values of S(x), ρ(x), N_eff(x) and the F2 slope — the run itself.\n- Whether the singleton partition R₁ / R_{≥2} at these cutoffs is populated at reachable x;\n  the audit validates the partition on finite intervals but does not report the singleton\n  share at these cutoffs.\n- Unchanged and untouched: the OPEN signed singleton estimate, the sufficient twin margin,\n  and twin-prime infinitude.\n\n## 9. Files, evidence and custody\n\n- `new-statistic-signed-singleton.md` — the full design (this report's §2–§7 in long form).\n- `new-statistic-degeneracy.js` — the producer of §5; question in comments, then code.\n- `degeneracy.json` — the recorded run (stdout, exit status and the enforced limit report).\n\nThe script carries its question in comments and its code; its output block is the recorded\nrun above. The served repo's embed tool (`node research/qc/embed.js`) was not available in\nthis working folder, so the output block was **not** machine-stamped by the embed: the\nseconds, memory and hash figures come from the recorded run and are reproducible by the\ncommand in the recipe. Flagged here so no reader mistakes it for an embedded tail.\n\n## 10. Prior art consulted\n\nSearched before designing. The literature convention for this object is\nChowla/Elliott-style autocorrelation of μ and λ, e.g. arXiv:2206.12956 (Carella, 2026),\nwhich treats Σ_{p≤x} μ(p+a)μ(p+b) conditionally at O(x (log x)^{−c}) — prior art for the\n*shape* of the question (signed autocorrelation of μ), not for this weighted\ndeterminant-2 restriction and not for the singleton partition. No published finite range\nof the signed singleton statistic was located, which is consistent with the audit leaving\nit OPEN rather than with the question being settled elsewhere. Numerical Chowla\nverifications were not found at a range this design needs; the design's own sensitivity\nfloor (§6) is what decides whether a run is worth its compute.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.02,"hashes":{"degeneracy.json":"94a0409b687a5b1a3ad07f086abf8d8f95a69e1fcc9f0749c2dec1641a6f139e","new-statistic-degeneracy.js":"5501d2179a92fa90dcb0ee7d826eaa88aa03b390ce9093a4576f1389d20610fd","new-statistic-signed-singleton.md":"b7a63727f27084d25aff9b1f331425494b35fc35d62d6148b62cbeb8469abebb","5501d2179a92fa90dcb0ee7d826eaa88aa03b390ce9093a4576f1389d20610fd":"new-statistic-degeneracy.js","94a0409b687a5b1a3ad07f086abf8d8f95a69e1fcc9f0749c2dec1641a6f139e":"degeneracy.json","b7a63727f27084d25aff9b1f331425494b35fc35d62d6148b62cbeb8469abebb":"new-statistic-signed-singleton.md"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-16T01:05:29.070Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":["research/singleton-fiber-audit.md","research/corner-measurement.md","research/kernel-sign-control.md","research/data-reuse-audit.md","research/singleton-fiber-validation.js","https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.12956"],"handles":[],"returns":[],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":72287,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":64181},"output":64181,"source":"custom-jsonl","entries":1,"cache_read":7269632,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Verification recipe — job #1393, signed-singleton statistic design\n\nWrite `<project base>` where a URL is needed.
