Type `explore`, purpose discovery, `research_route_id: null`.\nIdentity for this turn: model `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash`, effort `max`, session `b0b97307b63b9f5ef26e7dd3`,\ndepartment `dept_9e3c846778a19c71137dde42`, run `lc-63a9a60e07335b40`. Budget 2 h; measured cost this turn\nabout **0.13 CPU-h** (no period was built above T_23).\n\n## The lead, in one sentence\n\nThe project's covering capacity does not need the tile at all: **the phase-max capacity of a killer set\nis a function of the tile's cyclic gap WORD**, and the row for every prime is therefore decided by one\npass over a word of the same length, with no residue class, no slot value and no position ever read.\n\n## What I did\n\nRead first, as the brief requires: the closed-routes register (`research/OUTCOMES.md`, section \"Closed\nroutes\"), the open questions (`/questions`: 5 OPEN, 49 PARTIAL of 220) and the route board (32 routes;\nroute **26 is blocked** and is titled \"the two-class covering run, and the finite reach of the maxsum\ndoubling certificate\"). Route 26's `obstacle` states the object I attacked: the phase-max `K*(31)` needs\n`prod(Q) * D_31 = 3.64e21` slot visits; its `revisit_when` asks whether `K*` is the phase-max or the\nanchored object and says that if it is phase-max, \"the cheapest credible substitute is then a\nphase-restricted upper bound with its restriction named\".\n\nFour executed pieces, each with its own gate:\n\n1. **The identity for `|Q| = 1`** (`identity.py`, `identity.json`). For a window of adjacent slots,\n   consecutive slots differ by a cyclic gap, and staying killed by one prime forces each gap to keep\n   the partial sums inside the class pair it came from. So\n   `L(T_x,p) = 1 + max k` over cyclic runs of `k` consecutive gaps whose partial sums lie in `{0,-2}`\n   (branch A) or all in `{0,+2}` (branch B), mod `p`.\n   Tested against **three independent paths that never read the gap word**: the reviewed class-union\n   scan of #1386, the reviewed `killrun.js` state machine, and the definition enumerated over every\n   start and length. **243 entries** at T_5..T_19, p up to 199: **0 mismatches**, and **6/6** corpus\n   diagonal gates pass (`L(T_5,7)=2 ... L(T_19,23)=3`).\n2. **A filed row regenerated from its gaps alone** (`filed_rows.py`, `filed-T23.json`). T_23's row was\n   filed by #622 reading slot residues. Rebuilt here from the tile's gap word: **37/37 entries** equal,\n   with `|T_23| = 21 * 378675 = 7 952 175` exact.\n3. **The generalization to a killer set** (`capacity_q.py`, `capacity-Q.json`). With `h_i` the partial\n   sums of the cyclic gap word, `K*(Q) = max over d in prod_q Z/q` of the longest cyclic run of indices\n   `i` with `h_i = d_q` or `d_q - 2 (mod q)` for some `q`. Tested against the corpus residue definition\n   at **36 entries** over T_11, T_13, T_17 and all consecutive prime pairs and triplets: **0 mismatches**.\n4. **Cost and sparsity, measured** (`timing.json`, all three paths on the same input, same 37 primes,\n   T_23 with 7 952 175 slots): the gap-word criterion takes **5.449 s**, the reviewed class-union scan\n   **152.669 s** (**28.0x**) and the reviewed state machine **400.128 s** (**73.4x**); agreement 37/37\n   against each, row maximum 3 at `p = 31`, as #622 filed it. An earlier inline run of the same\n   comparison on the same input (not committed) gave 3.774 / 109.804 / 356.778, so the machine's load\n   moves the absolute figures but not the ratio's order. And the tail of the row is carried by almost\n   nothing:\n   at `p = 103` the whole `L >= 2` decision rests on **4 gap occurrences out of 7 952 175** (5e-7); at\n   `p = 79`, 310 occurrences; at `p = 173`, none, so `L = 1`.\n\n## Rungs, stated so they cannot be read as more\n\n* The reduction is **verified at the levels and killer sets listed**, not proved. The two-line derivation\n  above is the reason to believe it; the 243 + 37 + 36 comparisons are the reason to use it.\n* Nothing here computes a new `K*`, bounds an exponent, touches an asymptote, or says anything about\n  `H_alpha`, `u` or a sieve. Everything measured is a finite-period quantity.\n* The proposal's central step (a product-free decision procedure) is **not executed**. I claim it as a\n  route with a named cheapest refuter, not as a result.\n\n## The two defects the independent paths caught, both mine\n\n* The criterion's first version took its two branches from a table in which branch A's first-gap set was\n  `{0}` instead of `{0,-2}`, so every window whose first gap is `-2` was never tried: `(T_11, p=17)`\n  came out 1 against three scans that all said 2. Fixed by parameterising the automaton on the class\n  offset.\n* My first two hand-rolled cyclic-run helpers were both wrong -- one turned a period-run of length `L`\n  in the doubled frame into `2L` (and the `min(L,D)` cap then returned `D`), which **invented** a run of\n  2 where the reviewed scans give 1; the next overran by one and made 33 of 36 entries disagree. Both\n  were replaced by the reviewed `determine.longest_cyclic_run`. Four times in this run a check has\n  caught a fault; twice now the fault was in the check or in the new instrument, and the lesson is the\n  same each time: reuse the reviewed wrap logic instead of rewriting it.\n\n## Correction to my own channel claim\n\nClaim message #1877 (infinitude) stated the criterion with the union `{0,+2,-2}`. That reading is\n**strictly weaker than the truth**: a partial-sum walk must stay consistent with the class it came from\n(from state 0 the next gap is `0` or `-2`; from state `-2` it is `0` or `+2`), and a walk like\n`(+2, 0, -2)` is legal under neither branch. The union reading would over-count. The filed criterion and\nevery measurement above use the two-branch form.\n\n## Proposal\n\n`research.proposal` below proposes the product-free version of the same reduction, linked to the blocked\nroute 26 as `parent_route_id`, and cites this run's #622, #627, #637. The nearest prior work is the\nJacobsthal-function family (Hagedorn's computation, Costello, the Erdős/Kanold tradition, the\nHajdu-Saradha disproof of Jacobsthal's conjecture) and the covering-congruence literature; all of it\ncovers runs of consecutive INTEGERS by ALL primes at once, not a run inside an admissible slot set\ncovered by a chosen killer set. The exact uncovered step is the product-free maximization, and the\nsearch record is in `prior-art.md`.\n\n## Outstanding\n\nNo process was left running. The `outstanding` check over all issued attempts was run before the\nassignment and is recorded in `checks.json` (16 issued / 16 settled / `[]`). Three returns of this run\ncarried no usage on the record though their turns had closed (#621, #622, #627); they were credited\nthrough the documented transcript-correction path earlier in this turn (18 090 862 + 23 271 762 +\n14 346 231). Return **#637** remains **uncredited and pending**: the harness still flags `usageIncomplete`\non the turn that submitted it, so nothing is estimated for it, and the ledger carries that pending entry\nwith its next action. This turn is still open at submission, so this return's own usage is `null` by\ndesign.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{"9b715dbdc71e1c90ca00c04ee240520c1a5cff0b8b3ac0623d3533419f2420b3":"hashes.json"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-16T11:03:59.867Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"0":"return #622 / job #1386 (T_23 row regenerated here 37/37 from the gap word alone; its class-union scan is one of the three reviewed paths)","1":"return #627 / job #1387 (T_29 row; the fold machinery and the level-29 anchor)","2":"return #637 / job #1394 (T_31 row; its cyclic gap-tuple method is the closest existing relative of this reduction, and its 0.34 CPU-h is the cost reference for a T_31 scale test)","3":"route 26 (blocked): its obstacle states the prod(Q) * D enumeration and its revisit_when asks for a phase-restricted substitute; this proposal is the linked alternative","4":"docs/research/killrun.js (definition of the capacity run, corrected diagonal, the |T_19| = 378675 anchor)","5":"docs/research/U-FRAME.md section 6 (sweep domain, direction claims)","6":"Jacobsthal-function literature (Hagedorn; Costello; Erdos 1962; Hajdu-Saradha) -- a different object: consecutive integers, all primes, one class each; see prior_art_md"},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":129927,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":110315},"output":110315,"source":"custom-jsonl","entries":1,"cache_read":19735552,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe — job #1402 (explore, adversarial, new route)\n\nEverything below runs from the project root with `PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8`, using the standard\ninterpreter. `R` is this run's state directory, `.solveathome/twin-primes/runs/lc-63a9a60e07335b40`.\n\n## Claim\n\n    python \"$R/work/pursue1372/chat.py\" post infinitude \"$R/work/job1402/chat-claim.md\" claim\n\nChannel caps, learned by refusal: a `claim` message is at most **500** characters (a first version at\n1 475 was refused, then 1 603, 1 552, 1 536, 535); a general message is at most 1 500.\n\n## The reduction, tested (each command exits 2 on any mismatch)\n\n    python \"$R/work/job1402/identity.py\" 200 5,7,11,13,17,19      # 243 entries, 3 independent paths\n    python \"$R/work/job1402/filed_rows.py\"                        # T_23 filed row from gaps alone, 37/37\n    python \"$R/work/job1402/capacity_q.py\" 11,13,17               # |Q| <= 3, 36 entries\n    python \"$R/work/job1402/timing.py\" 23 200                     # the cost comparison, about 8 minutes\n\n`identity.py` imports the reviewed `work/readings/determine.py` (tile construction, cyclic-run helper)\nand the reviewed `work/job1386/grid.py` (class-union scan, killrun.js state machine). `capacity_q.py`\nimports `determine.py` only, and calls `determine.longest_cyclic_run` rather than re-implementing the\ncyclic wrap. `timing.py` imports all three.\n\n## Outputs\n\n    identity.json      the claim, the domain, every entry of the three-way comparison, the corpus gates\n    filed-T23.json     the filed row regenerated from gaps, with the period identity\n    capacity-Q.json    the |Q| <= 3 comparison against the corpus residue definition\n    timing.json        the three timings on the same input, the agreement counts and the row\n    gap-census.json    per-level gap values and multiplicities at T_13, T_17, T_19, T_23\n\n## Framework checks run in this turn\n\n    python \"$TOOL\" outstanding --state \"$R\"                 # 16 issued / 16 settled / []\n    python \"$R/work/usage/tokens.py\"                         # harness identity check per credited return\n    python \"$R/work/usage/sweep.py\"                          # server credits vs ledger pendings\n    python \"$TOOL\" transcript ... ; python \"$TOOL\" correct ...   # the three credits (#621/#622/#627)\n    powershell Get-CimInstance Win32_Process                 # no live process before and after\n\n## Notes on defects found here, so a re-run does not repeat them\n\n* `identity.py`'s first criterion dropped every window whose first gap is `-2`; `capacity_q.py`'s first\n  two cyclic-run helpers invented a run of `2L` and then overran by one.
