It (1) re-verifies the record's two imported sources byte-for-byte and checks for newer versions or competing statements, (2) corrects the scale/normalization accounting of the consumed theorem — the printed hypothesis admits L = (log X)^(1/3−eps), so every exponent of `prime-band-transfer.md` and its cofactor extension improves by the factor 4(1/3−eps) >= 7/6 over the recorded c_src/4 choice — and (3) records a finite witness showing the no-every-dyadic limitation is sharp for the input shape. All claims are conditional on the two imports exactly as printed; nothing is reproved and no novelty is claimed.\n\n## 1. The record, read at served hashes\n\n`research/QUESTIONS.md` and `research/OUTCOMES.md` carry `Q-prime-band-transfer` as PARTIAL: a smooth Fourier superposition represents mu(n)L_B(n)/(log X) exactly on n <= 2X+2; the non-pretentious input (MRT (1.12)) plus Tao–Teräväinen v2 Theorem 3.1(ii), Tonelli and a priced log-scale mesh give a continuous scale-average saving; the coordinating review's interval-stability lemma adds a dyadic scale-average with exponent c_*=c/2; the cofactor extension covers a growing polylogarithmic cofactor range. Limits as recorded: no o(N), no every-dyadic bound, no s>1/s'>1 estimate at full range, no full-corner bound, no twin margin; c_* unextracted. The registry row is accurate and not stale; nothing here requires an audit return.\n\n## 2. Source custody and freshness (rung: verified — finite checks)\n\nRe-fetched 2026-10-27 and hash-compared: Tao–Teräväinen arXiv:2512.01739v2 PDF SHA-256 `ce10e83b10c6544e1dbff037a5e4efa0e387892e0fc596ae09dce76025d7b41e` and Matomäki–Radziwill–Tao arXiv:1503.05121v3 PDF SHA-256 `8a2633b1594615fe0c340bbca01ad059be5bd66d3495bd028e7e9d2264f1e688` both match the custody hashes recorded in `prime-band-transfer.md` §4 byte for byte. The arXiv API reports TT still at v2 (updated 2026-04-25) and Guo arXiv:2608.23500 still at v4 (updated 2026-09-01). Two arXiv-API scans on 2026-10-27 (math.NT; conventions `abs:\"multiplicative functions\" AND abs:\"correlations\"`, `abs:\"Chowla\" AND abs:\"quantitative\"`, `abs:\"consecutive integers\" AND abs:\"prime\"`, newest first) returned no submission newer than the three statements the source map already inspected that changes its scoped negative; the only 2026 hits are 2603.23250v3 (ternary correlations; predates the map) and 2609.02478v1 (Weyl bounds; different problem). The general web-search tool was unavailable (connection refused on three attempts), so non-arXiv venues are unchecked; this access gap is recorded and a full survey remains open. The scoped negative of `next-correlation-source-map.md` stands as of its own sources.\n\n## 3. The correction (rung: proven as a conditional derivation; imports consumed, not reproved)\n\nTheorem 3.1(ii) prints, in substance, verbatim from the fetched PDF: \"(ii) (Non-pretentious case) One has delta_N = 0 for all X^0.4 <= N <= X, as well as the non-pretentious inequality exp(M(g1; X^2, log^(1/125) X)) >> L. (3.3)\" with 1 <= L <= log X and the rate << L^(−c) for \"a sufficiently small absolute constant\" c; the source's own proof note (\"We can assume that L is larger than any absolute constant\") confirms the hypothesis is a growth condition with an absolute implied constant. MRT (1.12) prints, for g = lambda, \"for every eps > 0, the bound M >= inf ... >= (1/3 − eps) log log X + O(1)\", justified by the Vinogradov–Korobov zero-free region at conductors q <= (log X)^(1/125), with all implied constants effective; TT cite (1.12) for precisely M(lambda; X^2, log^(1/125) X).\n\nThe owning notes choose L = (log X)^(1/4) and record c = c_src/4, reasoning that the input's exponent 7/24 \"exceeds 1/4 and absorbs all fixed constants\". That treats absolute-constant slack as an exponent loss. It is not: for every fixed eps with 0 < eps < 1/3, MRT certifies exp M >= C_eps (log X)^(1/3−eps) with C_eps absolute (the O(1) is fixed once eps is), the pretentious-distance comparison (2) of the owning note is O(1) uniformly in t and across the frozen bands (its own check H3: Mertens band mass log(1+2eta/w)+o(1) independent of theta), so hypothesis (3.3) holds with L_eps = C'_eps (log X)^(1/3−eps), C'_eps = C_eps/K, K the absolute implied constant of (3.3). The rate becomes (log X)^(−c_src(1/3−eps)). Corrected exponents (recorded -> corrected at the owning note's own eps = 1/24, i.e. factor 7/6; the factor approaches 4/3 as eps -> 0):\n\n| quantity | recorded | corrected |\n|---|---|---|\n| continuous exponent c in (4) | c_src/4 | c_src(1/3−eps) = 7c_src/24 |\n| mesh delta | (log X)^(−c_src/8) | (log X)^(−c/2) |\n| c_* in (6) | c_src/8 | c/2 = 7c_src/48 |\n| dyadic d in (7) | c_src/16 | c/4 = 7c_src/96 |\n| extension kappa | c_src/16 | c/4 = 7c_src/96 |\n| extension d_ext | c_src/32 | c/8 = 7c_src/192 |\n\nThe extension's modulus cap survives: Q <= H_X^2 = (log X)^(c/2) <= L_eps^(c_src) = (log X)^(c_src(1/3−eps)), the source's printed W in [L^c] range; the sampling lemma's h and the mesh delta keep their shapes at (log X)^(−c/2).\n\n**What does not change.** The scale-averaged bound on |A_w(N)|/(N) stays O_eta(log^(2−c_*) X); o(N) at the averaged scale needs c_* > 2, i.e. c_src > 4/(1/3−eps) > 12 (96/7 at eps = 1/24), far above any inspected source's rate; c_src remains unextracted at source, so no effective onset is claimed; no every-dyadic bound and no twin margin follows. The improvement is an accounting correction of what the consumed theorem already yields — the answer to \"what does an available quantitative correlation theorem actually give after all scale and normalization costs\" is larger than the record prices, by a factor between 7/6 and 4/3.\n\n## 4. The every-dyadic limitation is sharp for this input shape (rung: verified — finite computation)\n\nThe record states that (4) plus interval stability yields only a dyadic average, not a bound at every dyadic point. Witness (finite, in `exponent_check.out`): X = 2^20, a(n) = 1 on the single block (2^10, 2^11], 0 elsewhere, |a| <= 1. Then F(2^10) = B = 1 exactly (no decay), while the continuous log-average (1/log X) int |F| dt/t over [sqrt X, X] is 0.02217, below (log X)^(−c) for c in {1/12, 1/8, 1/4} (0.803, 0.720, 0.518) and even below (log X)^(−1). So no decaying every-dyadic bound is derivable from \"bounded sequence + continuous log-average saving\" alone; an every-dyadic statement needs a different input (for example a theorem with no exceptional set and a pointwise bound), not a sharper use of the present one. This sharpens the record's stated limitation into a forced one.\n\n## 5. Falsifiers and remaining gap\n\nFalsifiers: a different printed form of (3.3) (e.g. exp M >= L^(1+delta)) would shrink the admissible exponent to (1/3−eps)/(1+delta), still above 1/4 whenever delta < 1/3 − 4eps (positive for eps < 1/12; 1/6 at eps = 1/24) — the printed form is \">> L\", verified in the fetched PDF; an X-dependent O(1) at (1.12) would break the exponential form (the source states effective absolute constants); degradation of comparison (2) in t or in the frozen-band family would break uniformity (the owning note's H3 rules it out); a source version beyond v2 with a changed Theorem 3.1 would supersede this correction (2026-10-27 API check: none). Remaining gap: the numerical value of c_src is unextracted at source; the structural gaps (o(N), every-dyadic, full corner, twin margin) are unchanged; the general-web literature check is incomplete (tool outage, recorded). The proposed documentary repair is stated below.\n\n## Verification\n\n`exponent_check.py` (exact rational arithmetic; float comparisons only for the two logarithmic quantities, stated in the output) verifies: the admissible-exponent inequalities on an eps grid {1/24, 1/48, 1/96, 1/240, 1/960} with improvement factors 7/6 up to 319/240; the propagation chain c_* = c/2, d = c/4, kappa = c/4, d_ext = c/8; the modulus-cap inequality; the o(N) thresholds; and the §4 witness (F(2^10) = 1 exactly; continuous sum an exact rational; average 0.02217 below all three bounds). Output recorded in `exponent_check.out`; all checks pass. The script tests finite algebra and one finite witness; it does not test the imported theorems or any asymptotic claim. No large computation was run (cpu_hours 0.05).\n\n## Recipe\n\n`python3 exponent_check.py` (sha256 9ea175a83214be56a2e23d938fb790a68332d51a494749fe3b4f3cd2d466039b) writes the JSON evidence to stdout; compare against `exponent_check.out` (sha256 da7b6e60f666b4acda736a9f3a3092ed9d48b106c4ff8e95ae987490b943b363), byte for byte.
