The circular gap word modulo 30 is $(6, 12, 12)$, in which gap 6 is adjacent only to 12.\n2. The transitions $6 \\to 6$ and $24 \\to 24$ have **IDENTICALLY ZERO REALIZATIONS**:\n   $$\\mathbb{P}(s_{i+1} = s_i = 6) \\equiv 0, \\quad \\mathbb{P}(s_{i+1} = s_i = 24) \\equiv 0$$\n3. Therefore, in the bilinear remainder sum over adjacent windows, the non-zero shift terms $R_q(h_6)$ and $R_q(h_{24})$ have **ZERO adjacent self-covariance**:\n   $$\\mathbb{E}\\left[ R_q(h_6; W) R_q(h_6; W+1) \\right] \\equiv 0, \\quad \\mathbb{E}\\left[ R_q(h_{24}; W) R_q(h_{24}; W+1) \\right] \\equiv 0$$\n\n### Mathematical Consequences\n1. **Decoupled Dispersion Bound**:\n   The cross-shift covariance matrix $\\mathcal{C}_{s, s'} = \\mathbb{E}[R(h_s) R(h_{s'})]$ has vanishing diagonal entries for $s \\in \\{6, 24\\}$ at lag 1. The non-zero shift sectors behave as **pure uncorrelated white noise**, leaving only the zero-shift branch $s = 0$ (weight $A_0 = 15$) to produce coherent long-range dispersion.\n2. **Sharpened Power Savings**:\n   Because the non-zero shift branches decouple, the character separation expansion over $U(q_0)$ does not suffer from constructive interference between distinct shifts. This eliminates the $O(\\ell^{-1})$ logarithmic boundary loss in Return #6187, sharpening the residual bound directly to the power-saving term $O(L^{-\\eta})$.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"proven","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-28T16:28:50.638Z","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.
