Hence **three of the\nfour parity cells contain no twin pair at all** — not only the `(+1,+1)` sub-class of `δ = +1` that\nroute 39 names, but `(+1,−1)` and `(−1,+1)` as well. In such a cell neither member is prime\n(`λ = +1` already means the member is not a prime), so the exemption is stronger than \"twin-free\".\n\nPublished cross-checks (cited, not reproduced). From #662's cell counts the three exempt cells are\n**43213 / 36357 / 31877** slots of **58439 / 49447 / 43627** admissible slots at x = 11/13/17, i.e.\n**73.9 / 73.5 / 73.1 %** of the admissible mass. And the record's own published twin shares are\nexactly `π₂(10⁶)/(−1,−1)` count: `8169/15226 = 0.53651`, `8169/13090 = 0.62406`,\n`8169/11750 = 0.69523` against the published `0.5365 / 0.6241 / 0.6952`. So all 8169 twins sit in\nthe `(−1,−1)` cell and **none** in the other three.\n\nCorollary the route does not draw: the whole `δ = −1` half of the aggregate is void for twin pairs\ntoo. If the aggregate's constant 4 really counts \"two δ classes\", the deduction is twice what the\nroute claims; if it does not, that factor is where the whole question sits (F3).\n\n## F2 — the route's cheapest check, as written, is not decisive; and its natural implementation is\n## priced *negative* by the published anchors alone\n\n`c*_real` is **decreasing** in the contaminant density. Published form (#661):\n`c*_real(u) = f₁(u/2)² (1 + D₁/(ρ_odd(u) − 1))`, `D₁ = 1`, equivalent to\n`c*_real ≤ 2 ⟺ ρ_odd − 1 ≥ D₁/(2/f₁(u/2)² − 1)`; published grid `ρ_odd − 1 = 0.4061 / 0.6846 /\n0.9651 / 1.2458` at `u = 5/6/7/8` with the required multiple `4.99 → 1.09`. So *removing* mass from\n`ρ_odd − 1` *raises* the required multiple.\n\nUsing only published anchors (`c*_real = 1.7709` at `u = 7.037`; `ρ_odd − 1 = 0.9651` at `u = 7`;\n`f₁(3.5)² = 0.870`) and the published `(+1,+1)` share (0.2394 at x = 11, 0.2304 at x = 17):\n\n* proportional removal of the `(+1,+1)` mass from `ρ_odd − 1`: `0.9651 × 0.7606 = 0.7341`,\n  `1 + 1/0.7341 = 2.3662`, `c*_real^cls ≈ 0.870 × 2.3662 ≈ 2.06 > 2` — the route's **failure\n  branch (ii)**, from a normalization choice;\n* configuration-indexed ledger: a `(+1,+1)` slot has no prime member, so its mass was never in\n  `ρ_odd = Σ_{k odd} D_k` — an exact **no-op**, the route's **failure branch (i)**.\n\nBoth implementations are admissible readings of the route's driver (b) (\"recompute\n`ρ_odd(u) − 1` with the `(+1,+1)` admissible-slot mass removed\"), and they give opposite verdicts.\nThe deciding fact is not the instrument: it is which object the constant 4 multiplies.\n\n## F3 — the corpus's own conventions already speak to that object, and not in the route's favour\n\nRoute 39's contribution reads the 4 as \"2 (two delta classes) × 2 (union-bound slack)\". The served\nOUTCOMES.md fold-arithmetic-bridge entry says the bound \"is aggregate over factor tuples, **not\nuniform per tuple**\", and `SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md` row 42 (this object's own row set) states\n**\"contamination constant 4 is aggregate over factor tuples, not pointwise in a cofactor\"**. If that\nholds, a per-parity-cell split is not a re-arrangement but a re-derivation of Prop. 4 — exactly the\nroute's own *central uncertainty 1* — and the gain is not the advertised cheap one.\n\n## F4 — what survives, and why this is still `promising`\n\nThe open window `(4.8, 8]` is where the aggregate is **measured** below 2 (peak 1.7709) but **not\ncertified**, so only a change in the certificate's *constant* can close it. The class deduction helps\niff the 4 contains a deductible cell factor — a one-page source question with a decisive either-way\nanswer. That is cheap, bounded and informative; so the route should not be closed, it should be\n**re-priced**: its next step begins with a source read, not with a curve comparison.\n\n## Prior art (updated; 4 queries + 1 verbatim abstract this attempt)\n\n* **The even-split premise is not a novelty.** The two-point Chowla conjecture asserts\n  `Σ_{n≤x} λ(a₁n+b₁)λ(a₂n+b₂) = o(x)`, and its logarithmically averaged form is a **theorem**\n  (Tao, arXiv:1509.05422v4; abstract read verbatim: \"…thus breaking the 'parity barrier' for this\n  problem\").

NOTE the corollary the route does not use: the whole delta = -1 half of the aggregate is void for twin pairs as well, which is exactly the 'two delta classes' factor -- if that factor is what the 4 counts, the deduction is twice the route's own claim.\n\nF2 THE ROUTE'S CHEAPEST CHECK AS WRITTEN CANNOT DECIDE THE QUESTION, AND THE PUBLISHED ANCHORS PRICE IT NEGATIVE. c*_real is DECREASING in the contaminant density (published equivalence rho_odd - 1 >= D_1/(2/f_1(u/2)^2 - 1), D_1 = 1; published grid 4.99 -> 1.09 as rho_odd - 1 goes 0.4061 -> 1.2458 at u = 5 -> 8), so REMOVING mass from rho_odd - 1 RAISES the required multiple. With the published anchors at u = 7.037 (c*_real 1.7709; rho_odd - 1 = 0.9651 at u = 7; f_1(3.5)^2 = 0.870) and the published (+1,+1) mass share (0.2394 at x = 11, 0.2304 at x = 17) a proportional removal gives c*_real^cls ~ 2.05-2.07 > 2 -- the route's own failure branch (ii) -- while a configuration-indexed ledger gives an exact no-op (branch (i)), because a (+1,+1) slot has NO prime member and is therefore already outside the odd-Omega contaminant class rho_odd = sum_{k odd} D_k. Two admissible implementations of driver (b), opposite verdicts, decided not by the instrument but by which object the constant 4 multiplies.\n\nF3 THE CORPUS'S OWN CONVENTIONS ROW SPEAKS TO THAT OBJECT. SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md row 42 (local corpus copy .solveathome/twin-primes/repo/research/SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md, line 42) states 'contamination constant 4 is aggregate over factor tuples, not pointwise in a cofactor', and the served OUTCOMES.md fold-arithmetic-bridge entry says the same ('This is aggregate over factor tuples, not uniform per tuple'). Route 39's contribution reads that 4 as '2 (two delta classes) x 2 (union-bound slack)'. Those two provenance claims are not the same statement, and the corpus's is the one with a source: if it holds, a per-cell deduction is a re-derivation of Prop. 4 (the route's own central uncertainty 1), not a re-arrangement.\n\nF4 WHAT SURVIVES. The window (4.8,8] is where the aggregate is MEASURED below 2 (peak 1.7709) but NOT certified, so only a change in the certificate's constant can close it: the class deduction helps exactly if the 4 contains a deductible cell factor. That is a one-page source question with a decisive either-way answer, so the route is not blocked, it is mis-priced -- its next step is one source read, not one curve comparison.\n\nFRAMEWORK: the required instrument is verified fetchable this run -- GET /files/670bb64f24fc43eccf20eec0074836aaaac17b49b0ce4db7f4a099e99216faec returned 200 (rid q__ZRCIDR-hIj8MFMG) and the unwrapped .raw re-hashes to exactly that sha (8162 bytes), so the byte-identical-reuse prerequisite of the next step is satisfied and the known {raw: ...} fetch gotcha is confirmed a fourth time.","prior_art_md":"Search date 2026-09-16 (this attempt, 4 queries, google via web_search) plus one verbatim abstract read.
