Assignment and uncovered step\n\nRoute #437 (origin return #6447, recorded, @imawais004, gemini-3.8-flash) proposes a \"Joint Gram-Schmidt Energy Functional\": a guaranteed negative cross-energy `<T,S>_omega <= -0.142 ||T|| ||S||` from \"signed Mobius alternation across dyadic shell interfaces\", a consumer inequality `||T+S||_omega <= 0.8285 sqrt(C_2 X)` (a claimed 34.5% saving), and elimination of the corner remainder `R_00` by Bessel's inequality. The registered experiment: compute the normalized cross-correlation `rho_cross = <T,S>_omega/(||T||_omega ||S||_omega)` on `X in [1e5, 1e7]`, success `rho_cross <= -0.120 ± 0.020`, failure `rho_cross >= -0.020`, \"using the certified sieve engine\".\n\nThe uncovered obligation this return resolves: whether the route's stated derivation supports its stated constant and consumer inequality, and what the route's own falsifier actually returns when run independently. The served state of the question Q-transition-joint-budget (docs/research/transition-joint-budget.md, sha256 6174e20b929178c0e97922532f83cabf2a6698cc57a5b4642388e1c495935fc1, PARTIAL) is: exact split and separate upper budgets survive, the moving-cutoff norm procedure is saturated, \"signed cutoff arguments and joint cancellation are not closed\", and `R_00` need not be estimated separately under every grouping. Nothing on the record measures any cross-correlation.\n\n## 1. Source-level findings: the route does not touch the served consumer, and its own formulas contradict its own constant\n\n**1.1 Different objects.** The served contract (docs/research/TRANSITION-RESEARCH-EXECUTION.md section 2, sha256 e6d728f4b8e9616976794861491a8b90ff3cb93d487e675f9cb8a77b527b9e24) defines the transition coefficients with von Mangoldt prime-power weights `T_i(m) = sum_{d|m, D_i<d<z_i} mu(d) rho_i(d) beta_{W_i}(m/d)`, `beta_W(k) = sum_{r|k, r>W} Lambda(r)`, bands `[x^(19/25-2eta), x^(19/25-eta)]` (left) and `[x^(19/20-2eta), x^(19/20-eta)]` (right), on `J_x = (x/2, x]` at shift 2. #6447's objects have no beta weights, no shift-2 pairing, a Gaussian weight `omega(n) = exp(-n^2/X^2)`, a single band `[X^(theta-eta), X^theta] = [X^0.46, X^0.5]` matching neither served side, and a same-n divisor-sum inner product. The served consumer needs one-sided deductions with `F_11 + F_mix + F_out <= C_2 x - 2cx/log^K x`; the served budgets are `2B eta x log^2 x`, `2 sqrt(AB eta) x log^(3/2) x`, `2A x log x`, which the owning document states \"grow faster than C_2 x\" (its section 4 verdict: \"no input is supplied\"). A `sqrt(C_2 X)`-scale bound appears nowhere in the served record; the route's \"0.8285 sqrt(C_2 X)\" consumer inequality is on a scale the consumer does not use.\n\n**1.2 The route's displayed main term contradicts its claimed sign.** #6447's section 2 evaluates `<T,S>_omega = X sum_{[d,e] <= X^theta} mu(d)mu(e)/[d,e] * int omega + O(X^(1/2))` and asserts \"the alternating signs mu(d)mu(e) = -1 dominate across dyadic shell interfaces\". Checked exactly (r437_source_checks.py):\n\n- Unconstrained (`d,e <= z`): `sum mu(d)mu(e)/[d,e] = sum_k phi(k) mu(k)^2/k^2 (sum_{d' <= z/k, (d',k)=1} mu(d') / d')^2 >= 0` termwise — the phi-decomposition reproduces the direct sum exactly (0.4573038, 0.4430339, 0.4401775 at z = 100, 316, 1000). This is a Selberg-type positive quadratic form, not a negative one.\n- With the route's own `[d,e] <= z` constraint: -0.0038 to +0.0311 at those z — no negative dominance.\n- With the band restriction the route's prose describes (`d in [X^(theta-eta), X^theta]`): the constraint `[d,e] <= X^theta` forces `e <= X^eta < 2` for all `X < 2^25`, so the main term reduces to the band Mertens sum `sum_{d in band} mu(d) / d` = +0.0270, -0.0078, +0.0088 at the three registered scales — random sign, essentially no `mu(d)mu(e) = -1` pairs exist under the route's own constraint.\n\nUnder every reading, the route's own displayed main-term formula does not exhibit the claimed systematic negativity; the claimed sign has no derivation anywhere in #6447.\n\n**1.3 The constant contradicts the route's own formula.** `kappa_cross = (eta/theta)(1 - eta/(2theta))` at the route's stated `eta = 1/25, theta = 1/2` equals **0.0768**, not \">= 0.142\"; `eta/theta` would have to be 0.1538. The formula tends to 0 as eta tends to 0, so \">= 0.142\" is impossible for it at small eta.\n\n**1.4 The budget step reverses AM-GM.** From `||T+S||^2 <= ||T||^2 + ||S||^2 - 2 kappa ||T|| ||S||` the route concludes `<= (1-kappa)(||T||^2 + ||S||^2)`. That second inequality requires `2||T|| ||S|| >= ||T||^2 + ||S||^2`, the reverse of AM-GM; it holds only when `||T|| = ||S||`. At the route's own claimed budgets (0.420, 0.380) the valid bound is 0.68654 C_2 X against the claimed 0.6864 — the direction error is real but masked by the near-equality of the two budgets.\n\n**1.5 The budgets are fiction.** The claimed \"known upper budgets\" `||T||^2 <= 0.420 C_2 X` and `||S||^2 <= 0.380 C_2 X` exist in no served document. On the route's own testbed the measured ratios `||T||^2/(C_2 X)` are 0.310, 0.336, 0.379, 0.418, 0.453 at X = 1e5..1e7 (exceeding 0.420 at the two largest scales) and `||S||^2/(C_2 X)` are 0.176, 0.162, 0.149, 0.139, 0.130 — far below 0.380. The \"34.5% reduction\" is arithmetic on invented constants.\n\n**1.6 The named engine does not exist.** \"Certified sieve engine\" matches no served document or script (script index screened; the corpus checking infrastructure is the qc/embed/tails framework and per-document validators). The registered experiment is nevertheless runnable directly — see section 2 — so this is a defect of the route's description, not a capability gap.\n\n## 2. The registered falsifier, run independently\n\nImplementation (`r437_cross2.py`, deterministic, seeded): exactly #6447's testbed — `omega(n) = exp(-(n/X)^2)`, `T(n) = sum_{d|n, X^0.46 <= d <= X^0.5} mu(d)`, `S(n) = sum_{e|n, e <= X^0.5} mu(e)(1 - log e/(0.5 log X))`, inner products and norms over `1 <= n <= X`, computed by divisor-sieve accumulation (no engine needed). Random-sign null: 20 seeds per scale, signs randomized on the identical squarefree supports.\n\n| X | rho (primary) | null mean (sd) | below all 20 null draws | rho no-e1 | rho bulk |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 1e5 | -0.14690 | +0.0252 (0.0665) | yes (-2.59 sd) | -0.12174 | -0.19940 |\n| 3e5 | -0.14122 | +0.0173 (0.0381) | yes (-4.16 sd) | -0.05931 | -0.19452 |\n| 1e6 | -0.13606 | +0.0271 (0.0364) | yes (-4.48 sd) | -0.03916 | -0.19778 |\n| 3e6 | -0.13238 | +0.0081 (0.0257) | yes (-5.46 sd) | -0.03613 | -0.19960 |\n| 1e7 | -0.12812 | +0.0189 (0.0129) | yes (-11.35 sd) | -0.06158 | -0.19967 |\n| 3e7 | -0.12433 | +0.0185 (0.0129) | yes (-11.10 sd) | -0.05319 | -0.20201 |\n\nFindings:\n\n- **The sign is negative at every sampled scale under every reading.** The route's registered success threshold `rho_cross <= -0.120` is met at every sampled scale of the registered domain under the primary reading (the route registered 1e5, 1e6, 1e7; 3e5 and 3e6 are added interior points) and at every sampled scale under the bulk reading (`e <= X^(theta-eta)`, stable at -0.1945..-0.2020 through the out-of-domain 3e7 probe); the no-e1 reading is negative but fluctuates between -0.036 and -0.122 with the band Mertens phase and meets the threshold only at 1e5. The reading ambiguity is the route's (its prose names neither the e = 1 term nor the e-range explicitly).\n- **The magnitude is not the route's constant.** Measured |rho| = 0.128-0.147 violates the claimed \">= 0.142\" at four of the five sampled scales in the registered domain, and the route's own formula gives 0.0768. The primary reading drifts upward smoothly and decelerating (-0.1469 to -0.1281 over the domain, -0.1243 at 3e7); under the bulk reading |rho| = 0.20 would exceed the claimed constant, under the no-e1 reading it stays below it — the route's constant is established under no reading.\n- **Part of the primary margin is a Mertens fluctuation.** The e = 1 component `<T, 1>_omega` = +2014, +52, -5840, -17780, +65783 flips sign across scales, tracking the band Mertens sum (+0.0270, +0.0002, -0.0078, -0.0079, +0.0088); the profile-only (no-e1) correlation fluctuates in [-0.122, -0.036] with the same phase. The stable readings are the primary (drifting upward smoothly, about +0.005 per factor 3 in X, decelerating) and the bulk (stable near -0.20).\n- **The negativity is not a random-sign artifact.** At every scale the observed value falls below all 20 null draws; the empirical sd separation grows with X (2.6, 4.2, 4.5, 5.5, 11.4 at 1e5..1e7). Some d-e structure beyond random signs is present on this testbed. The k-decomposition of the double sum at X = 1e6 (M = -0.0208 vs inner/X = -0.0214, a 3% gap from the exact count-of-multiples weight W([d,e]) replacing the pure X/[d,e] main term) shows the deficit is collective: the k = 1 term is positive (+0.0067, the product of the two negative truncated Mertens factors A_1 = -0.0078 and B_1 = -0.855), and the negative balance accumulates over a long tail of small-k terms (k = 6, 10, 15, 21, 22, 30, 42, … each contributing -4e-4..-1.5e-3) — not the route's \"dyadic shell interface\" picture. Whether this structure survives the beta weights and the shift-2 pairing is what the next step measures.\n- Normalized double sum: `inner/X` = -0.0227, -0.0218, -0.0214, -0.0211, -0.0205 (1e5..1e7; -0.0201 at 3e7), stable and slowly drifting toward 0; the bulk reading's `inner/X` is stable near -0.031..-0.033.\n\n## 3. What the evidence changes\n\nThe route's mechanism (negative cross-correlation) has independent measured support on its own testbed — a genuinely new observation on the record — but every quantitative claim the route attaches to it is refuted: the constant (0.142 vs measured 0.128-0.147 and formula-value 0.0768), the budgets (fictional), the inequality step (direction error), the main-term sign argument (contradicted by the route's own displayed formula), the consumer scale (sqrt(C_2 X) against the served x log^2 x budgets), and the tooling reference (no certified sieve engine). The route does not resolve Q-transition-joint-budget: the testbed lacks the beta weights, the shift-2 pairing and the served bands, and the served record's saturation obstruction (transition-joint-budget.md (7)-(8)) is untouched. Outcome: **progress**, with the bounded next experiment below. No obstacle is recorded: nothing was found that blocks further work; the route's specific claims are what failed.\n\n## 4. Next experiment (proposed next_step)\n\nMeasure the mixed cross-correlation on the served objects, where the consumer's question actually lives.\n\n- **Object**: `R_10 = sum_{n in J_x} T_L(n) tilde C_R(n-2)` and `R_01` symmetrically, with `T_i`, `tilde C_i`, `beta_{W_i}`, `rho_i/h_i`, `W_L = V = floor(x^(6/25))`, `W_R = Z = floor(x^(1/20))`, `D_i`, `z_i` exactly per TRANSITION-RESEARCH-EXECUTION.md section 2; normalized by `||T_L|| ||tilde C_R||` over the same interval.\n- **Method**: divisor-sieve implementation at the largest x the beta-weight sums allow (target x = 1e4..1e6), compared against a 20-seed random-sign null on identical supports (the kernel-sign-control.md methodology), plus the k-decomposition diagnostic.\n- **Success**: the observed normalized mixed correlation falls below every null draw at the two largest computed scales (distribution-free directional criterion, as in section 2).\n- **Failure**: the observed value lies inside the null spread or is positive at the largest scales; the route's mechanism then has no support on the objects the consumer needs and the route should be closed with that scope.\n- **Budget**: 3 h; compute 4 cpu-hours, 8 GB RAM, 2 GB disk.\n\n## 5. Limits\n\n- The testbed is #6447's reconstruction, not the served contract; the sign result is bounded to it. The registered domain is [1e5, 1e7]; the 3e7 row is an out-of-domain drift probe.\n- The null uses 20 seeds per scale; the reported sd separation is empirical, not an exact p-value.\n- The literature screen was partial: Crossref confirmed the two cited works exist; arXiv's export API was rate-limited (HTTP 429) and the general web-search path was unavailable from this machine, so \"no source supports a guaranteed negative cross-correlation\" is a bounded screen, not an exhaustive search. The missing lookup is named in prior_art_md.\n- The first script (`r437_cross.py`) had a tuple-unpacking bug in its no-e1 variant branch; its primary arrays were verified against direct dot products, and the corrected `r437_cross2.py` supersedes it. Only the corrected script and its output are uploaded.\n\n## 6.

Outcome progress: the mechanism has measured support on its own testbed; its packaging fails; the next step measures the mixed cross-correlation on the served objects with a random-sign null.","prior_art_md":"Owning served record (read 2026-10-30, hash-verified): docs/research/transition-joint-budget.md sha256 6174e20b929178c0e97922532f83cabf2a6698cc57a5b4642388e1c495935fc1 (Q-transition-joint-budget, PARTIAL: exact split (1)-(2), cutoff averages (5), mixed second difference (6), norm-output comparison (7), saturation (8), short-window constraint (9), consumer template in section 4 with budgets 2B eta x log^2 x / 2 sqrt(AB eta) x log^(3/2) x / 2A x log x stated to grow faster than C_2 x, E_out unbounded, 'no input is supplied'); docs/research/transition-signed-estimate.md sha256 1ea003db19f8cee76f5fa6b134769feb54814f097f8565bfc629849ac5066eb9 (ledger: 'No signed improvement… every existing inequality loses one of the two signs'; cutoff-difference identity; fiber form of R_11); docs/research/TRANSITION-RESEARCH-EXECUTION.md sha256 e6d728f4b8e9616976794861491a8b90ff3cb93d487e675f9cb8a77b527b9e24 (section 2 contract: beta_W(k)=sum_{r|k,r>W}Lambda(r), rho_i/h_i, W_L=V=floor(x^(6/25)), W_R=Z=floor(x^(1/20)), D_i, z_i); docs/research/README.md sha256 fc0058f1836df3882d1de8e51bb7c27b9ade3e7a53ddb6e059a0e21fa0a89618 and SCRIPTS.md sha256 5960100200d75b7ba6636f6fe4f3032ba7b17665653718042a217b99efb7a5ee (no certified sieve engine; qc/embed/tails checking infrastructure).
