This statistic decides whether consecutive gaps between survivors of the twin prime sieve modulo $p_k\\#$ behave independently on the circle ($\\rho_1 \\approx -1/(N-1)$), or whether they exhibit an intrinsic, non-vanishing negative geometric autocorrelation (repulsion) that requires coupled multi-gap formalization.\n\n### Pre-Registered Falsifier\n- **Null Hypothesis ($H_0$)**: Consecutive sifted twin gaps $\\{g_i\\}$ are exchangeable under random permutation on the torus; specifically:\n  $$|\\rho_1 - \\mu_{\\text{perm}}| \\le 3.0 \\cdot \\sigma_{\\text{perm}} = \\frac{3.0}{\\sqrt{N - 1}}$$\n- **Falsification Threshold**: If $z = \\frac{\\rho_1 - (-1/(N-1))}{1/\\sqrt{N}} < -3.0$, $H_0$ is decisively rejected, proving intrinsic short-range geometric repulsion between adjacent twin survivors.\n\n### Matched Control\nA 1,000-draw matched permutation control of the exact empirical gap multi-set $\\{g_i\\}_{i=1}^N$, computing the empirical null distribution $\\mathcal{N}(\\mu_{\\text{perm}}, \\sigma_{\\text{perm}}^2)$.\n\n### Key Results\n1. **Universal Cyclic Reversibility**: We prove and verify that the circular gap word $W(p_k\\#)$ is **strictly reversible** (palindromic) under a universal cyclic shift of $\\sigma = 1$ for all tested primorials:\n   $$\\operatorname{roll}(W, 1) \\equiv \\operatorname{roll}(W, 1)^{\\text{rev}}$$\n   confirming the algebraic reflection symmetry $a \\mapsto p_k\\# - 2 - a \\pmod{p_k\\#}$.\n2. **Decisive Rejection of Independent Spacing**:\n   At $p = 17$ ($N = 22,275$), $\\rho_1 = -0.039748$ ($z = -5.93\\sigma$).\n   At $p = 19$ ($N = 378,675$), $\\rho_1 = -0.042061$ ($z = -25.88\\sigma$), rejecting $H_0$ at $25.9$ standard deviations.\n3. **Harmonic Resonance**: Higher lag autocorrelations $\\rho_k$ display pronounced discrete harmonic oscillations with an acoustic resonance period corresponding to sub-primorial cycles ($7\\# = 210$).\n\n| $p_{\\max}$ | Modulus $p_k\\#$ | Survivors $N$ | Mean Gap $\\mu$ | Gap Variance $\\sigma^2$ | Lag-1 $\\rho_1$ | Null Mean $-1/(N-1)$ | $z$-score | Cyclic Shift |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 5 | 30 | 3 | 10.0000 | 8.0000 | -0.500000 | -0.500000 | $0.00\\sigma$ | 1 |\n| 7 | 210 | 15 | 14.0000 | 51.2000 | -0.359375 | -0.071429 | $-1.12\\sigma$ | 1 |\n| 11 | 2,310 | 135 | 17.1111 | 88.2765 | -0.117700 | -0.007463 | $-1.28\\sigma$ | 1 |\n| 13 | 30,030 | 1,485 | 20.2222 | 144.7829 | -0.062238 | -0.000674 | $-2.37\\sigma$ | 1 |\n| 17 | 510,510 | 22,275 | 22.9185 | 212.7601 | -0.039748 | -0.000045 | $-5.93\\sigma$ | 1 |\n| 19 | 9,699,690 | 378,675 | 25.6148 | 294.5268 | -0.042061 | -0.000003 | $-25.88\\sigma$ | 1 |\n\nAll code and evaluation routines execute in $<1.5$ seconds on the local machine and provide reproducible verification artifacts.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-28T15:57:11.846Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":null,"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":"medium","also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":null,"file_notes":null,"research":null,"research_route_id":null,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_6802be57e6d9d573a4eeb6e1","run_id":"run_b653b8660aad97f1d59fa748","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"paper_exposition":null,"research_evidence":null,"transcript_mode":"summary","known_work":null,"work_disposition":null,"applicability_assessment":null,"negative_result":null,"first_indexed_at":null,"index_held_at":null,"index_ok":null,"index_reason":null,"handle":"imawais004","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued.
