External: the parity problem in its standard statements - Wikipedia 'Parity problem'; Tao, 'What's new' tag page (sieve theory cannot sift out primes; the Liouville function counts the parity of the number of prime factors) - both state the obstruction qualitatively and neither supplies a finite-level blind-class ratio; MathOverflow 233240 (sieve cannot distinguish primes from 2-almost primes) and Lola Thompson's Chapter 9 (Selberg's sieve; 'cannot really distinguish between (a) primes and (b) products of two primes of roughly equal size') give the same qualitative form; arXiv:1909.07975v6 ('On the Infinitude of the Twin Primes', 'due to the parity problem we construct a Selberg sieve with an upper bound of the sieve function') is a claimed unconditional route that this attempt has NOT evaluated - it is recorded as a source to check, not as support. No external source found states a level-indexed split ratio of the delta = +1 class in an admissibility-tile convention, so this object appears nameable but not published. In-house: research/OUTCOMES.md 'Closed routes' (the two aggregate-constant-4 tests are CLOSED at every fixed u > 4 with the corrected contamination constant 4; the closure does not extend to the decorrelation hypotheses); research/README.md (router, consulted); the predecessors that name the same missing step - return #661 / note N-1455-01-route36-two-twos.md and return #659 (job #1453, lane formalize) - and the sibling finite calibrations they produced (return #657 / note N-1450-01-blockgrain-vs-occupancy.md, per-slot occupancy lambda_hat = 0.12602 / 0.14774 / 0.12061 at x = 11/13/17); the class-preserving-null pattern from #648/#1421 and the gate-before-table rule from #645/#1416. Adjacent in-repo closed evidence on the same object: F-0905-04 ('reading negative Liouville sign as primality') is the precise earlier error this measurement avoids - a sign is classified here, it is never read as primality, and the twin count enters only through an independent sieve.","uncertainty_md":"The weakest unproved assumption is that the delta-blind mass is the right object: a weight family could distinguish the sub-classes through a non-delta ingredient (a fold, a modulus, a two-point average) without any of the four class counts changing, so the measurement bounds what delta-measurable families can do and says nothing about families that are not delta-measurable - the route's premise is exactly the negation of that. Second, the domain is finite and narrow: x <= 17, n <= 1e6, one range, whole slots only; the ratios 0.918/0.886/0.856 are three points and the monotone trend is not a limit, and the levels were not chosen for long-gap structure. Third, this instrument's per-slot occupancy (8169/58439 = 0.1398 at x = 11) is the same order as, but not equal to, #1450's block-scale lambda_hat (0.12602), because the ranges and the block partitioning differ; the two are not interchangeable and neither is corrected by this attempt. Fourth, nothing here is a claim about the ladder, the L-grid convention, or the certificate's arithmetic, all of which remain at their own recorded rungs.","contribution_md":"Routes 36 and 37 (returns #661 and #659) both reduce the project's threshold question to one named step, and both state it in the same words: in Selberg's example the parity class that a Brun/Selberg weight family cannot see is EMPTY, whereas the project's contaminant class is NON-EMPTY and 'lies inside one parity class'. Neither return measures that in its own convention: #661's instrument writes the threshold as c*_real(u) = f_1(u/2)^2 (1 + D_1/(rho_odd(u)-1)) with D_1 = 1 exactly, and #659 calibrated the channel on two known positives, but the containment claim is an assertion about the tile that nothing in the record checks. This attempt measures it. In the project's own admissibility convention (twin slots n with gcd(n(n+2), x#) = 1, the T_x tile), classify every admissible slot by (lambda(n), lambda(n+2)), lambda = (-1)^Omega: twin primes occupy (-1,-1) only, and any certificate whose weight is a function of delta(n) = lambda(n)lambda(n+2) alone treats the delta = +1 sub-classes (-1,-1) and (+1,+1) identically. MEASURED at x = 11, 13, 17 over n <= 1e6 (all gates passed first, 1.89 s, one process): the blind (+1,+1) class is not merely non-empty, it is 91.8%, 88.6%, 85.6% of the good (-1,-1) class at x = 11, 13, 17 respectively, and the delta = +1 aggregate is split almost evenly between the two sub-classes (delta mean = -0.0004, -0.0015, -0.0005). The good class is itself dominated by non-twins: the twin share of (-1,-1) is only 0.5365, 0.6241, 0.6952 at the same levels, i.e. 46%, 38%, 30% of the good class is blind mass that no delta-measurable weight can exclude. The contribution is therefore a quantity the transfer step needs and the record does not have: the blind-class ratio, with a level trend that is monotone and can be extrapolated against. The route changes the ingredient rather than the constant: the missing object is not a sharper constant in D_1/(rho_odd - 1) but a weight family that is NOT a function of delta alone, and the measured ratio is exactly the discrimination such a family must supply. Cheapest test of the route's premise: extend the same 2 s instrument to x = 19 and x = 23 and fit the ratio against the level; a ratio that stays in (0,1) and strictly decreasing keeps the route alive, a ratio tending to 1 says the blind class saturates the delta = +1 aggregate (and any signed aggregate certificate is fatal by construction), and a ratio tending to 0 would make a delta statistic discriminating and is the outcome that would falsify the closed parity rows."},"next_step":{"method":"Reuse work/job1459-paritysplit.py unchanged in its definitions and gates (G1 8169 exact, G2 independent admissibility recount, G3 multiplicativity); extend the level list to x = 19 and x = 23 and scan matching ranges (>= 2 x# windows, segmented Omega-parity sieve with 1 MB segments to keep one core under 1 GB); then add the split-aware probe: pre-register a weight family w(n) = +1 on measured (-1,-1), -1 on measured (+1,+1) (and 0 on the delta = -1 slots), compute its mean and its permutation p-value against a null that preserves the class sizes, and report the ratio series 0.918, 0.886, 0.856 with its two new points before any probe number is read.","compute":{"ram_gb":1,"disk_gb":0.5,"cpu_hours":0.5},"failure":"The segmented Omega-parity sieve cannot reach two windows of x = 23 inside the budget, or the permutation null cannot be built with the class sizes at x = 23 (slot counts too small per window), or the ratio series turns non-monotone in a way that shows three points were not enough to read a trend.
