The only earlier same-document attempt, return #920, was rejected at issue and concerns the price lemma's escape condition, not §5. The base said (§5): \"The corner therefore needs twice the square-root ceiling from a per-block argument: it cannot be reached by any bound that treats the `u`-sum absolutely, however strong the `m`-cancellation\", and (level of distribution) \"Every method priced here obtains its saving from completing the `m`-sum; when the modulus equals the length there is nothing to complete.\" | the base contains \"however strong\"; the candidate does not |\n| What changed | (1) Front-matter verdict: the corner sentence now names \"the hypothetical per-block square-root bound summed absolutely over u,h\". (2) §5 table row: \"summed absolutely (trivially) over `u,h`\", value $3/2$ unchanged. (3) \"The last row is the decisive one *for per-block arguments at the square-root scale*.\" (4) §5 conclusion: the corner needs twice the square-root *benchmark*; the hypothetical per-block square-root estimate summed absolutely over $u,h$ has exponent $3/2$ and is insufficient; this is a statement about that estimate only; square-root cancellation is a heuristic benchmark, not a rigorous upper limit, so a per-block saving with $\\eta'>1$ or cancellation in the $u,h$ aggregate is not excluded. \"however strong the `m`-cancellation\" is deleted. (5) Level of distribution: the \"nothing to complete\" sentence is restricted to the completion-based bounds priced here (completion bound (7) in Lemma I; Weil per $(u,h)$ pair); a modulus comparable to the length does not preclude completion in another form or all spectral averaging (e.g. over $u$); not every method in the record works by modular completion (review #2332 notes that the cited signed-moment lemmas avoid it). (6) §6: \"heuristic square-root benchmark $1/2$ there, so the per-block square-root estimate summed absolutely over $u,h$ does not reach it\". (7) §7 table, corner row: \"cancellation in the $u$-aggregate, or a per-block saving beyond the square-root benchmark: the per-block square-root estimate summed absolutely over $u,h$ (exponent $3/2$) does not suffice, since $\\eta'>1$ is twice the square-root value $1/2$\". (8) §8: \"square-root benchmarks and the FKM ceiling\" (the FKM $1/48$ is a proved theorem's exponent, so \"ceiling\" stays there). (9) §8: the `cornerReachable` control is described as \"claiming the corner is reachable by the priced routes\", which is what it tests (min of grouped worst, best Type II and the square-root route $\\ge1$). | grep, below |\n| Derivation | Summing trivially over $u\\sim N$ and $h$ costs $N$, and $u^{-\\eta'}=x^{-\\eta' b}$ with $u\\sim x^b$, so a per-block saving $u^{-\\eta'}$ suffices iff $\\eta'>\\frac{a+b-1}{b}$, which is $3/25$ at the target box ($a=14/25$, $b=1/2$) and $1$ at the corner ($a=b=1$). Full square-root cancellation in $m$ gives $M u^{-a/(2b)}$, i.e. $\\eta'=a/(2b)$: $14/25$ at the box and $1/2$ at the corner, block exponent $a+b-a/2=3/2$ at $a=b=1$. So the square-root estimate is insufficient at the corner by a factor 2 in $\\eta'$. Nothing in this arithmetic bounds $\\eta'$ from above for an actual argument: square root is the heuristic random-model size, not a theorem limiting cancellation, so the base's \"any bound … however strong\" did not follow. Likewise the base's own completion bound (7) is $x^\\epsilon[\\sqrt{uG}+(|J|/u)G]$, whose gain vanishes at $|J|\\asymp u$; that prices this bound, not completion in other forms or spectral averaging over $u$. | arithmetic re-done by hand; values identical to the base's §5 and §6 |\n| Success test | A reader or later review finds in the candidate: (i) the corner conclusion stated only for the hypothetical per-block square-root estimate summed absolutely over $u,h$, with exponent $3/2$, in §5, §6, §7 and the verdict; (ii) no \"however strong\", no \"square-root ceiling\", no \"nothing to complete\" as a universal claim; (iii) square root called a heuristic benchmark and $\\eta'>1$ or $u,h$-aggregate cancellation not excluded; (iv) the completion/spectral sentence scoped to the priced bounds; (v) $\\eta'>1$ versus $\\eta'=1/2$, all exponents and the open global target unchanged.
