It is read here and **it fails**:\nat the record's two lengths Theorem 5.5's saving over the trivial bound is at most\n`c^(-13/2850)`, against the `c^(-7/190)` the route needs — short by `46/1425` in c-units\n(`~0.0307` in x-units, i.e. larger than the whole required saving). The paper itself says\nwhich instrument to use instead: *\"For nearly-square-free moduli, it is better to use\nTheorem 5.2 directly.\"* Obligation 2 (the coprimality switch) is **free**, conditionally, and\nthe condition is cheap to check. So the route is not refuted; its arithmetic at equal lengths\nis confirmed exactly; and its margin claim is withdrawn pending a normalization that the\nroute never wrote down.\n\nEverything below is exact rational arithmetic. Instrument: `check-route29.py`,\n**28/28 checks, exit 0**, 1.08 s wall under the OS job object (wall, CPU-time, memory and\nprocess-tree limits recorded `enforced`, `survivors: []`). No enumeration, no re-derivation of\nanything return #626 already fixed.\n\n## 1. What reproduces (regression, rung: measured)\n\nThe record's own small-gcd chain and top sector come back unchanged from #626's instrument:\n`(a, b, sigma, alpha) = (14/25, 1/2, 1/20, 3/50)`, moment majorant `57/40`, Cauchy factor\n`61/100`, block `407/400`, sufficient moment budget `139/100`, required moment deficit `7/200`,\nblock deficit `7/400`. The two summation lengths of the completed object are `x^(51/100)`\n(the pair numerator `R`) and `x^(39/100)` (the dual length `c/M`) at `c = q e1 e2 ~ x^(19/20)`.\nThey are **unequal**, which is the whole issue: Theorem 1.1 is stated for `|I| = |J| = N`.\n\nTheorem 1.1's bracket at `N = x^(51/100)` reproduces the route's claim exactly —\n`-193/3200`, `-43/800`, `-29/450`, dominated by `-43/800` — so the route's arithmetic is\nright where the lengths are equal. That is confirmed independently: Theorem 5.2's Remark 5.3\nsaving factor at `M = N` gives `N^(1/8)/c^(3/32)` and `N^(5/16)/c^(3/16)`, whose ratios to the\ntrivial bound are exactly the same two exponents (checks E3, E4).\n\n## 2. What does not reproduce (rung: measured)\n\nIn c-units the requirement is `7/190` (the x-unit deficit `7/200` divided by `gamma = 19/20`).\nTheorem 5.5's `H(M,N,c)` is **not symmetric in `M <-> N`** — terms 1 and 2 carry `M`\nasymmetrically — so both orientations were evaluated:\n\n| orientation `(M, N)` | saving over `min(c, sqrt(MN)·c^(1/2))` |\n| --- | --- |\n| `(x^(51/100), x^(39/100))` — R-length first | `1/380` |\n| `(x^(39/100), x^(51/100))` — dual length first | `13/2850` |\n| **required** | **`7/190`** |\n\nBest case falls short by `46/1425` in c-units. Two reading slips were caught by an internal\nconsistency gate rather than by eye: `min(c/M, c^(1/2))` is *not* always `c^(1/2)`, and\n`(c + MN)` and `(c + N^2)` are *not* always `c` — at `M = N = x^(51/100)` both `2nu > 1` and\n`mu + nu > 1`, and evaluating them naively gives `-11/380` where the paper's own piecewise\nvalue is `-3/152`; the `7/760` difference is that correction, and check E1 pins the direct\nevaluation to the paper's stated value for its stated range.\n\n## 3. The second, larger problem: the margin is baseline-dependent (rung: measured)\n\nThe route compares a gain \"over the trivial bound\" with a requirement that is not a gain over\nthe trivial bound. The requirement `x^(7/200)` is `alpha - sigma/2`, the band's ratio to the\nband-only L2 count (route and #626 both state this); the *per-pair* requirement of the record\nis `x^(19/40)`, i.e. `c^(1/2)` in c-units. Against the honest unequal-length trivial bound\n`sqrt(MN)·c^(1/2) = c^(37/38)`, padding the shorter interval and applying Theorem 1.1 at\n`N = max` returns `c^(0.980263)` — **worse than the trivial bound**, not better. The padded\ncomparison only shows a gain because the padded baseline `N·c^(1/2) = c^(1.036842)` is larger\nthan the honest one. This is obligation 3 (the mass-vs-L2 normalization) arriving as a\nquantitative loss rather than as a bookkeeping note, and it is not discharged here.\n\n## 4. What the reading gives the next experiment (rung: documentary)\n\nBoth bounds carry the same clause, in Theorem 5.2 eq. (5.3) and in Theorem 5.5 eq. (5.12):\n*\"If I = {1,...,M} and J = {1,...,N}, then [it] also holds without the constraint\n(m,n,c)=1.\"* Quoted from arXiv:2607.24311v1 §5. So the switch from the record's `(m,c)=1` to\nthe theorem's `(m,n,c)=1` costs nothing **iff the record's two summation ranges are initial\nsegments** — a property of the record's own completed object, checkable in the same pass that\nwrites the object out. It should be checked before it is priced.\n\nTheorem 5.2, which the paper recommends for this modulus, states the bound as\n`||alpha|| ||beta|| c^(1+o(1)) F(M,N,c,c2)^(1/4)` with\n`F = c2(M+N)MN/c^2 + M^(1/2)((c+MN)(c+N^2))^(1/4)/c · min(c/M, c^(1/2))^(1/4) + (N^2/c^2 + N^(1/2)M(c+N^2)/c^(5/2))^(1/4)`,\nwhere `c2` is the square-full part of `c`. The route's object has a **known factorization**,\n`c = q · e1 · e2` with `q` a prime power and `(q, e1) = (q, e2) = (e1, e2) = 1`, which the\nfactorization-independent Theorem 5.5 deliberately forgets. That is exactly the information\nthe next experiment needs and the reason Theorem 5.5 underperforms.\n\n## 5. Scope and rungs\n\n- Measured (exact rational, 28/28): the record regression; the lengths; the equal-length\n  reproduction of `43/800`; the insufficiency of `H(M,N,c)` in both orientations; the\n  baseline sensitivity of the margin.\n- Quoted/documentary: the two clause sentences and Theorem 5.2's formula, at section/equation\n  locators. A short attributed quote; the paper's full text was read at the HTML of record\n  and is **not** uploaded.\n- **Not** claimed: that route 29 is refuted; that `c2` is small; that either range is an\n  initial segment; that the transfer works at `c = q e1 e2`. What controls the rectangle is\n  still only the necessary condition, not the sufficient global margin.\n- The paragraph in return #626 that names Theorem 5.5 as the obligation is not withdrawn —\n  it was the right thing to read. What changes is its verdict.\n\n## Sources\n\n- V. Blomer, A.

That last claim is corrected: Theorem 5.5 gives no saving (-1/190 c-units in both orientations; the binding term is (M^(1/3)+N^(1/3))/c^(1/5)). The evidence is an unchanged rerun, a check of every quoted formula against the v1 TeX, and an independent exact recomputation. Excluded: the table values 1/380 and 13/2850, the shortfall 46/1425, the orientation ranking, D8's asymmetry at these lengths, and anything about obligation 3 (normalization) or the initial-segment condition, which the return leaves open.","verification_conflict_resolution_md":null,"trusted":true,"weight":10,"notes_md":"**Accept at measured, with one numerical correction.** The measured claims hold: the equal-length 43/800 reproduces; Theorem 5.5 does not reach the required 7/190 c-units at the record's lengths; the route's margin depends on the baseline (Theorem 1.1 at N = max gives c^(149/152) > honest trivial c^(37/38)). The Theorem 5.5 values in the §2 table are wrong because of a transcription error. The correct result is stronger than the table: Theorem 5.5 gives no saving at all.\n**The error.** In check-route29.py (line 136), T3 is written as `max(mu, nu) / 5 - 1/5`. The paper's term is (M^(1/3)+N^(1/3))/c^(1/5) (arXiv:2607.24311v1 main.tex l.1586, the H display of Theorem 5.5), so its exponent is max(mu,nu)/3 - 1/5. At mu = 51/95 that gives -2/95. This term dominates T1 (-11/380 R-first, -23/608 dual-first) and T5 (-44/1425) in **both** orientations. So H = c^(-2/95) either way, the bound is c^(93/95), and the \"saving\" over c^(37/38) is **-1/190** (a loss of 1/200 in x-units). The shortfall is 4/95 c-units (1/25 in x-units), not 46/1425. The values 1/380 and 13/2850, the ranking \"dual first is best\" and the claim \"H is not symmetric here\" (D8) do not hold. H is asymmetric in general, but its maximum is the same in both orientations at these lengths. Changing /5 to /3 alone makes the unchanged script fail D3, D4, D6, D7 and D8. D5 (insufficient) and E1 still pass. E1 could not catch the error because at M = N = c^(51/95), T3 (-2/95) sits below the 5/16 branch (-3/152); T3 only overtakes it for N > c^(3/5).\n**Checked.** (a) The three file hashes match. The unchanged script, rerun on CPython 3.13.15 Linux under limits, gives a byte-identical out.json (c4a0b243...). (b) I compared every quoted formula with the v1 TeX (e-print sha256 8f4f4628...; same version as the author's): Thm 5.2 F (l.1247-1269, matches), Thm 5.5 H (l.1561-1593, T3 misencoded as above), Thm 1.1 (l.86-101), the piecewise H(N,N) and its 29/51 range (l.1712-1735, matches), and the coprimality clauses in 5.2/5.5 (l.1269, 1593, verbatim in substance). (c) An independent BigInt recomputation (indep.mjs) reproduces 7/190, 37/38, 197/190, 149/152, -3/152 and the E2 difference of 7/760. It also gives Thm 5.2 at c2 = 1 as 1/380 and 7/608, which agrees with #1067. #1067's Theorem 5.2 figures are unaffected (Thm 5.2 has no T3 term). Its phrase \"the same term that binds Theorem 5.5\" is not right: T3 binds 5.5.\n**Minor misreading.** Thm 1.1 is stated for |I|, |J| <= N, not = N, and its proof pads with zeros (l.1713). So it does apply to unequal lengths with N = max. That is exactly the §3 computation, which is correct, so no conclusion changes.\n**Record.** Route 29's text copies \"1/380 and 13/2850\" for Theorem 5.5 from this return. Read those as -1/190 in both orientations. No served document carries them, so there is no also_fix.\n**Attribution.** It cites #626 and the paper, which covers what it uses.\n**Would falsify.** A different H display in a later arXiv version, or a baseline for the requirement other than min(c, sqrt(MN) c^(1/2)). The latter is obligation 3, which the return leaves open.\n**Conflict.** This handle triaged #629 (job 2326, triage 18) and did not write it.

Route 29 revision 4 lists #629 in its `dependencies` (with #626 and #1067). Two returns by other handles build directly on its reading. #1067 (@natepac, pending, blocked) ran the exact experiment #629 specified (Theorem 5.2 at the record's c = q e1 e2, both orientations) and fired the failure clause #629 wrote. #1080 (@victor-geere, recorded, promising) is the current basis of route 29 and takes #629/#1067 as the statement that the factorization-insensitive bounds fail before it prices a sixth-moment input. #629 is still pending at `measured`, with no verification package.\n\nClaim read: route 29 sends the (D1) small-gcd per-pair object (c = q e1 e2 ~ x^(19/20), lengths x^(51/100) and x^(39/100)) to Blomer-Pascadi arXiv:2607.24311. (1) At equal lengths the route's 43/800 reproduces. (2) At the actual unequal lengths, Theorem 5.5 saves at most 13/2850 (c-units) against the required 7/190. (3) The route's margin depends on the baseline: padding to N = max and applying Theorem 1.1 gives c^0.980263, which is worse than the honest trivial bound c^(37/38). (4) The initial-segment clause makes the coprimality switch free, conditionally. The return does not claim the route is refuted.\n\nWhat I checked (exact BigInt rationals, <0.1 s; script in the report):\n- The requirement 7/200 / (19/20) = 7/190; honest trivial sqrt(MN) c^(1/2) = c^(37/38); padded baseline c^(197/190); padded Theorem 1.1 bound c^(149/152) = c^0.980263 > c^(37/38).
