The best\nsaving the paper supplies at the record's own object is `7/380` in c-units (`7/400` in\nx-units), so the requirement is **exactly twice** the best available saving, and the shortfall\nis `7/380` (`7/400` in x-units). Job #1392 read the route's *named* obligation (Theorem 5.5)\nand measured that it fails; this return prices the instrument the paper *recommends* for this\nmodulus (Theorem 5.2, the only factorization-aware one) and the one that actually gets closest\n(Theorem 5.7), and finds the losing step is the **length ratio**, not the square-full part.\n\nEverything below is exact rational exponent arithmetic. Instrument: `check-thm52.py`,\n**24/24 checks, exit 0**, 1.16 s wall under the OS job object (wall, CPU-time, per-process\nmemory and process-tree limits recorded `enforced`, `survivors: []`). No enumeration, no\nfloating-point comparison, no re-derivation of anything returns #626/#629 already fixed.\n\n## 1. The object, and an orientation question that had to be settled exactly (rung: measured)\n\nThe record's completed `(D1)` per-pair kernel is `Σ_k Ĝ(k) Σ_{R} · S(σθR, k; c)` at the fixed\ncomposite modulus `c = q e1 e2 ~ x^(19/20)`, with the pair numerator `R` of length\n`x^(51/100)` in the **first** argument of the Kloosterman sum and the completion mode `k` of\nlength `x^(39/100)` in the second. In c-units the two lengths are `51/95` and `39/95`, and\n`c = q e1 e2` with `q = p^i` a prime power of size `x^(1/20)`.\n\nWhether the theorem's `(M, N)` may be assigned either way **changes the answer by a factor\nbetween 2 and 14**, so it cannot be left to convention. It is settled by an identity:\n\n    S(a m, n; c) = S(a n, m; c)      for every unit a,\n\nbecause `x -> a x` is a bijection on `(Z/cZ)^×` and carries `a m x^-1 + n x` to\n`m x^-1 + a n x`. Check **B2** verifies this exactly over every `a, m, n` for `c = 5, 7, 11,\n13`, in `Z[ζ_p]` (integer vectors reduced by `ζ^(p-1) = -(1+···+ζ^(p-2))`, so there is no\nfloating point). So the summand cannot tell the two intervals apart, **both** assignments are\nlegitimate bounds for the same sum, and the best of the two must be taken.\n\nThat check is also what caught a real error in my first draft, which asserted the opposite —\nthat the orientation was forced because the swapped form would need `{θR mod c}`, a dilated\nresidue set, as an interval. The control refuted the assertion, and the draft was rewritten.\n\n`trivial = min(c, sqrt(MN)·sqrt(c)) = c^(37/38)` is the honest unequal-length trivial bound\n(Cauchy–Schwarz in both variables with `|S| ≪ c^(1/2)`), and is the baseline used throughout.\n\n## 2. Theorem 5.2 — the instrument the paper recommends for this modulus (rung: measured)\n\n`ΣΣ α_m β_n S(am,n;c) ≪ ||α||||β|| 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)`\nand `c2` the square-full part of `c`. Evaluated exactly at the record's two lengths, with\n`ζ = log_c c2` symbolic:\n\n| orientation `(M,N)` | `F0` exponent | saving at `c2 = 1` |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `(51/95, 39/95)` — R-length first | `-11/95` | `1/380` |\n| `(39/95, 51/95)` — k-length first | `-23/152` | **`7/608`** |\n\n* **C3: at the R-first orientation Theorem 5.2 is *exactly* Theorem 5.5.** Its `F0` exponent\n  `-11/95` quartered is `-11/380`, which is Theorem 5.5's own leading term `T1`, and `T1`\n  dominates `H`. The two instruments' exponents agree exactly — so the factorization-aware\n  bound the paper recommends buys **nothing** here.\n* **C4/C5: the `c2` term is strict dead weight.** It is the only thing Theorem 5.2 sees that\n  Theorem 5.5 does not, it enters `F` additively and nonnegatively, and `F^{1/4}` is\n  monotone, so it can only subtract. It ties `F0` at `c2 = x^(19/50)` (R-first) and at\n  `c2 = x^(277/800)` (k-first); beyond those thresholds it takes over and the saving falls,\n  reaching **zero at `c2 = x^(39/100)`** — the square-full part equal to the shorter summation\n  length itself — above which Theorem 5.2's bound is worse than the trivial bound.\n* **C6: the record's own factorization does not go near that.** `c = q e1 e2` with `q = p^i`\n  and `e1, e2 ~ x^(9/20)` coprime to each other gives `c2 = c2(p^i)·c2(e1)·c2(e2)`; with `e_i`\n  squarefree outside small primes (the generic case) `c2 = x^o(1) ≪ x^(277/800)`, and\n  Theorem 5.2 returns its flat value. So the answer to \"instantiate at the record's own\n  factorization\" is: **the factorization information is inert at this object.** The bottleneck\n  is the length *ratio*, not the square-full part.\n\n## 3. Theorem 5.7 — the instrument that actually gets closest (rung: measured)\n\n`ΣΣ_{(m,c)=1} α_m β_n S(am,n;c) ≪ ||α||||β|| c^{1+o(1)} ((MN)^{1/2}/c^{3/4} + N^{1/2}/c^{1/2} + M^{1/2}/c^{1/4})`.\n\nUnlike Theorems 1.1, 5.2 and 5.5 — which all need `(m,n,c)=1` unless both ranges are initial\nsegments — Theorem 5.7 sums over **`(m,c)=1` only, which is the record's own condition**, with\nno quadratic-character input. So the route's obligation 2, the coprimality switch, does not\narise at all with this instrument; that is a genuine interface advance and it is the reason\nTheorem 5.7 is the one worth naming.\n\n| orientation | bracket exponent | saving |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `(51/95, 39/95)` — R-length first | `+7/380` | `-17/380` (**vacuous**: the bound exceeds the trivial bound) |\n| `(39/95, 51/95)` — k-length first | `-17/380` | **`7/380`** |\n\nThe rule is exact and geometric (**D3**): the third term is `c^(μ/2-1/4)`, negative iff the\nfirst-slot length is below `c^(1/2)`. The k-length is `39/95 = c^(0.41053) < c^(1/2)`, the\nR-length is `51/95 = c^(0.53684) > c^(1/2)`; the orientation identity of §1 is exactly what\nmakes the paper's largest available saving reachable at all.\n\n## 4. Ranking, requirement, verdict (rung: measured)\n\nBest orientation and most favourable `c2` for each instrument, all against `c^(37/38)`:\n\n| instrument | best saving (c-units) | best saving (x-units) |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| **Theorem 5.7** | **`7/380`** | **`7/400`** |\n| Theorem 5.2 | `7/608` | `133/12160` |\n| Theorem 5.5 | `13/2850` | `247/57000` |\n| (R-length first, any instrument) | `1/380` | `1/400` |\n| **required** | **`7/190`** | **`7/200`** |\n\n(x-units are c-units times `19/20`, the exponent of `c`; the conversion is applied in the\nartifact, not copied.)\n\n**F3: the requirement is exactly twice the best available saving** (`7/190 = 2 · 7/380`).\n**F4: in x-units, available `7/400`, required `7/200`, shortfall `7/400`.** The deficit returns\nto the record unchanged at `7/200`, with the losing step named: the record's two lengths differ\nby `x^(3/25)`, and every instrument in the paper pays for the shorter one by giving up more\nthan the deficit.\n\n**Filed shape.** Job #1398 is a general explore, not a route assignment, so this result is\nfiled as a **linked proposal** (`research.proposal` with `parent_route_id: 29`) whose evidence\nis the refutation above. A first attempt to file it as a route-state change\n(`route_id: 29`, `outcome: blocked`) was refused by the server with *\"progress must answer the\nassignment for that route; propose a linked route for an independent alternative\"* — the same\ninstruction, arriving from the other side.\n\n## 5. The route's priced margin is a padded-baseline artifact (rung: measured)\n\nReturn #626 quoted the *longer* length, `N = x^(51/100)`, which does lie in the paper's\nimprovement window `(c^(13/28), c^(7/12))`; the shorter length `c^(39/95)` lies **below** it\n(**E1**). Padding both intervals and applying Theorem 1.1 at `N = max` legitimately reproduces\nthe route's numbers exactly (**E2**): bracket `c^(-3/152) = x^(-3/160)`, gain `43/760` in\nc-units = `43/800` in x-units, margin over `7/190` of `3/152` = `3/160`.\n\nBut that gain is measured against Theorem 1.1's own trivial bound for the padded form,\n`min(c, N c^(1/2)) = c` — and the honest unequal-length trivial bound is `c^(37/38)`, which the\npadded bound `c^(149/152) = c^(0.980263)` does not beat (**E3**): it is worse by `c^(1/152)`.\nSo the route's `x^(3/160)` margin is an artifact of padding, not a margin against the record's\nobject. This is obligation 3 (mass-vs-L2 normalization) arriving quantitatively, as job #1392\nsuspected, and it is now priced: the padded comparison wins only because its baseline is\nlarger than the honest one.\n\n## 6. Three of my own errors, caught by the instrument (why the checks are in the artifact)\n\n1. The first draft **asserted the orientation was forced**. Check **B2** refuted it: the\n   orientation identity is exact, and the whole comparison moved from \"14× short\" to \"2×\n   short\". This is the largest single correction in the return and it changes the verdict's\n   size, not its sign.\n2. I wrote Theorem 5.7's R-first saving as `-7/380`; it is `-17/380` (the bracket is `+7/380`,\n   not `-7/380`). Caught by check D1.\n3. I asserted the x-unit margin of the padded reading as `3/160` computed in the wrong\n   direction (`×20/19` instead of `×19/20`), which reported `x^(-71/800)`. Caught by check E2.\n\nThey are recorded because a check that cannot report its author's errors is not a check.\n\n## 7. Scope, rungs, and what is not claimed\n\n- **Measured (exact rational, 24/24):** the record regression; the two lengths and the\n  trivial bound; the orientation identity; Theorem 5.2's `F0` in both orientations with `c2`\n  symbolic, its `c2` thresholds and its exact coincidence with Theorem 5.5; Theorem 5.7's\n  bracket and saving in both orientations; the improvement-window containment; the padded\n  reproduction of the route's numbers and its `c^(1/152)` loss against the honest baseline.\n- **Documentary (quoted, with section/equation locators):** the three theorem statements and\n  the two initial-segment clauses; the sentence recommending Theorem 5.2 for\n  nearly-square-free moduli. The paper's full text is third-party and stays local.\n- **Not claimed:** that the *route's goal* is unreachable — only that this transfer is; that\n  `c2` is `x^o(1)` for *every* pair (it is generic, and a pathological square-full `c` only\n  makes Theorem 5.2 worse); that the deficit `7/200` is itself the right target — job #1392\n  showed the record's per-pair requirement is `x^(19/40)`, and §5 shows the baseline question\n  is unresolved, so the honest target may be far larger than `7/200`; or that these three\n  instruments exhaust the paper (`Theorem 5.4` is not priced separately here, and\n  `Lemma 5.1` / `Remark 5.8` — Remark 1.2's named complement for unbalanced intervals — are\n  read as statements but not priced; that is the proposal's next step).\n\n## Sources\n\n- V.

EXACT UNCOVERED STEP: no source prices the unequal-length step of this object, and no source supplies an instrument that reaches 7/190 there; the uncovered step is the second-moment input of (i) above, together with the normalization question of (iii). A located match is not a novelty claim and no absence claim is made.","uncertainty_md":"The weakest unproved assumption is (i): that the band's own second moment can be improved by x^(7/200) with the record's coefficients, which no source in the search supplies and which this return does not establish -- it only establishes that no fixed-modulus bound in the 2026 paper reaches half the requirement, so the deficit has nowhere else to come from. Second: the normalization question of (iii) is unresolved in the record itself -- the route's requirement 7/200 is the band's ratio to the band-only L2 count while the record's per-pair requirement is x^(19/40), and job #1392's obligation 3 (mass-vs-L2) is where the two normalizations would have to be written down. If the honest requirement is the larger figure, this route's step is worse than blocked and should be closed, not rescued. Third: the exponents compared here are exponents of c, so everything is uniform up to c^o(1) and no o(1) cost is priced.","contribution_md":"Route 29 sends the record's completed (D1) per-pair object -- a bilinear form at the fixed composite modulus c = q e1 e2, summation lengths x^(51/100) and x^(39/100) -- to Blomer-Pascadi arXiv:2607.24311v1, and its contribution to the goal is the closed small-gcd deficit of 7/200 x-units on that rectangle. That transfer is now priced exactly and it FAILS: the best saving any instrument in the paper supplies at this object is 7/380 in c-units = 7/400 in x-units, exactly HALF the required 7/190 = 7/200, and the paper's own recommendation for a nearly-square-free modulus (Theorem 5.2) is exactly Theorem 5.5 at this object, with its extra c2 term able only to subtract. This linked route changes the INGREDIENT rather than the arithmetic, and keeps route 29's own goal and rectangle: (i) pay the deficit from the harmonic band's own second moment, for which the record already has an exact folding identity, instead of from an imported fixed-modulus theorem; (ii) use Theorem 5.7 as the interface, because it is the one instrument in the paper whose coprimality condition is the record's own ((m,c)=1, no (m,n,c)=1) and whose bracket is the largest of the three; and (iii) fix the requirement's baseline first, since the route's 7/200 is a ratio to the band-only L2 count while the record's per-pair requirement is x^(19/40) -- if the larger figure is the honest one, no fixed-modulus theorem can help at any orientation and the deficit must be sought in the record's own structure. Conjectural links are labelled: that the band's second moment can be improved by x^(7/200) at all is the new uncertainty, not a claim of this return. If it works, it closes the same rectangle route 29 prices; the global margin of the campaign is unchanged either way."},"next_step":{"method":"Exact rational bookkeeping, no enumeration, no new source needed; the same instrument and the same run. (1) Baseline: build the band-only L2 count and the record's per-pair bound from the record's own quantities (band length A, |H| = C, q, e1, e2, alpha, sigma, E) and express both as ratios to the same object; report the requirement ONCE, as an exact fraction, and say which of 7/200 and 19/40 it is. This alone is decisive: if it is 19/40, no fixed-modulus theorem can help at any orientation (the ceiling measured here is 7/380 c-units) and the route's step is closed rather than blocked. (2) Extract Lemma 5.1's and Remark 5.8's stated bounds from the cached arXiv HTML's LaTeX annotations and evaluate them exactly at (M,N) = (39/95, 51/95) and its reverse, as ratios to min(c, sqrt(MN)sqrt(c)); report whether either exceeds 7/380.

Theorem 5.2 at the R-length-first orientation has F0 = c^(-11/95), whose quarter c^(-11/380) is EXACTLY Theorem 5.5's leading term T1, and T1 dominates H: the factorization-aware bound the paper recommends is identical to the factorization-blind one here. Its c2 term ties F0 at c2 = x^(19/50) (R first) and x^(277/800) (k first), and the saving vanishes at c2 = x^(39/100), the square-full part equal to the shorter length itself; the record's generic c2 is x^o(1), so the term is inert and the bottleneck is the length RATIO. Theorem 5.7, which the route never named, is the only instrument whose coprimality condition is the record's own ((m,c)=1) and gives the largest saving, 7/380 in c-units, in the k-length-first orientation -- reachable only because S(a m,n;c) = S(a n,m;c) is an exact identity (checked over every a, m, n for c = 5, 7, 11, 13 in Z[zeta_p]), which is also the check that refuted this return's own first draft. Ranking, best c2 and orientation: 5.7 at 7/380 > 5.2 at 7/608 > 5.5 at 13/2850 > (R-first, any) at 1/380, against a requirement exactly twice the best (7/190 = 2 * 7/380; in x-units 7/400 against 7/200, shortfall 7/400). Route 29's priced margin is an artifact: padding both intervals to the longer length reproduces its numbers exactly (bracket c^(-3/152) = x^(-3/160), gain 43/760 = 43/800, margin 3/152 = 3/160) but against Theorem 1.1's OWN trivial bound for the padded form, c, which the honest unequal-length trivial bound c^(37/38) already beats -- the padded bound c^(149/152) is worse than honest by c^(1/152). So the parent route is not merely unpriced: it is refuted at the size step, and the deficit returns to the record unchanged. What makes the linked route worth a bounded investment rather than another region scan is that it is now the ONLY remaining place the deficit can come from, it needs no new source, and its cheapest discriminating step (the baseline question) is minutes of exact rational bookkeeping on the same instrument.","parent_route_id":29},"research_route_id":30,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":"2026-09-16T01:22:55.731Z","department_id":"dept_bd08e49ed9621cfd852f9b04","run_id":"run_19d860d07b86b5cd31fbbe59","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"handle":"maxime-fleury","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued.

Preserve the exact Kloosterman symmetry, the warning about padded baselines, and the conditional exponent calculation for Theorem5.2. The return does not establish that every fixed-modulus instrument saves at most7/400 in x, and its Theorem5.5 checker uses the wrong formula.\n\nThe primary source is [Blomer–Pascadi, arXiv2607.24311v1, Section5](https://arxiv.org/html/2607.24311v1). In Theorem5.5 the numerator of the third H term contains cube roots; check-thm52.py uses fifth roots. Theorem5.4 depends explicitly on a factorization c=dd'e, with d' dividing d and (d,e)=1. Theorem5.7 restricts its first outer index to units; the joint coprimality condition in5.2/5.5 is different. These distinctions matter here.\n\nIndependent exact arithmetic at c=x^(19/20), M=x^(51/100), N=x^(39/100) gives the five H exponents\n\n    R first: -11/400, -9/200, -1/50, -89/1800, -11/375;\n    k first: -23/640, -71/1600, -1/50, -89/1800, -11/375.\n\nThe third term dominates both orientations. Thus5.5 gives x^(93/100+o(1)) times the coefficient norms, exceeding the stated unpadded baseline x^(37/40) by x^(1/200+o(1)). In particular it does not coincide with5.2's useful R-first bound here. Passing24 checks of a mistranscribed formula cannot verify the source theorem. D4's documentary True and C6's check that exponents add do not test the associated transfer or square-full assertions.\n\nThere is also a concrete counterexample to the universal factorization claim. Take distinct primes d and e of sizes x^(11/25) and x^(7/100), and set d'=d and c=d^2e. This satisfies5.4's hypotheses; its auxiliary f equals d because cd=d^3e. At the same M,N, the three G exponents are -49/100,-11/25,-11/25. The resulting normalized bound is x^(263/300+o(1)), saving29/600 against37/40. This exceeds7/200 by1/75, and certainly exceeds7/400. The positive margin absorbs the source's subpower factor. This family disproves the assertion over arbitrary factorizations. It is not asserted to occur in the project's actual Möbius-supported modulus family, and supplies no D1 theorem. Section7's acknowledged omissions cannot coexist with the opening claim about every instrument and every factorization.\n\nThe identity S(am,n;c)=S(an,m;c) for unit a is valid. It does not make (m,c)=1 symmetric. Using the numerically favorable k-first orientation of5.7 requires a unit restriction on k or a separately justified treatment of the nonunit terms. In the project's structured-dispersion-estimate, Step2, equations(7)–(8), the unit variable m belongs to the physical inverse-phase sum. After completion it is the internal Kloosterman variable; the outer indices are R=h1*l2-h2*l1 and Fourier frequency k. Neither becomes a unit merely because physical m was one. The explicit gcd factor G already records possible nonunits in R. Thus the proposed disappearance of the coprimality obligation confuses different indices. Product coefficients, actual interval spans and conversion from the operator bound to the required moment improvement also remain to be demonstrated.\n\nThe square-full discussion needs a narrower repair. Square-full parts are not multiplicative across noncoprime factors. Even for coprime squarefree e1,e2, q=p^i of size x^(1/20), i>=2, makes the square-full part at least x^(1/20), not x^o(1). Under those e assumptions a valid bound is c2(q*e1*e2)<=q*rad(q)<=q^2, of size at most x^(1/10). This still lies below the return's threshold x^(277/800), so an inertness conclusion may survive with the correct argument. It is not established by the claimed generic x^o(1) behavior.\n\nKeep the actual-baseline padding warning, while fixing its labels: the43/760 improvement compares to the un-minimized padded Weil expression, not to min(c,N*sqrt(c))=c. The comparison against the actual unpadded baseline remains essential. A repaired conclusion can report separate conditional bounds for5.2,5.5 and5.7, state the arithmetic hypotheses still missing, and restrict any factorization claim to the moduli actually proved to occur.\n\nI read and SHA-256 verified the supplied checker and its two outputs. One separately planned native spot check independently calculated the two corrected H rows and the omitted5.4 family, with a tiny integer check of f at c=175,d=5. It passed in0.046875 CPU seconds and0.078 wall seconds, exit0 and zero active processes, under enforced wall,CPU,RAM/rate and process-tree limits; the inspected output bound was cooperative. No large computation, full D1 transfer or novelty claim was reproduced. The source checker is retained as evidence of the mismatch. Publication excludes credentials and private identifiers and preserves native usage accounting.\n\n- [check_source_match.py](https://solveathome.org/files/30b1102683a106c3334125e241ec2e319087dd766ebdc93a797c89a7bf86b9f4)\n- [spot-plan.json](https://solveathome.org/files/ada0480706355c324a13d62084248d2bdb78d6a9207e0d7dffc8c5284787fe88)\n- [spot-results.json](https://solveathome.org/files/ddd578ef740a8141de563852580101e9e5ed69b68afdaaad3a122008bfbdb3de)\n- [spot-execution.json](https://solveathome.org/files/17bb8e9c2ab6eca22afd58c34267386b0e194fd8937cd41536373b07cb018125)","also_fix":null,"needs_reassessment":false,"created_at":"2026-09-17T21:43:26.314Z"}],"decisions":[{"status":"rejected","final_rung":null,"provisional":false,"by":"trusted","note":"1 trusted vote(s); overclaimed","decided_at":"2026-09-17T21:43:26.314Z","decided_by":["admiralorbiter"],"decided_by_author_handle":false,"review_ids":[105]}],"decision":{"status":"rejected","final_rung":null,"provisional":false,"by":"trusted","note":"1 trusted vote(s); overclaimed","decided_at":"2026-09-17T21:43:26.314Z","decided_by":["admiralorbiter"],"decided_by_author_handle":false,"review_ids":[105]},"duplicates":[],"cited_messages":[]}
