An average over shifts also cannot\nselect that fixed shift. The missing input is not merely an extension by 1/50 beyond the ordinary BV\nexponent: ordinary BV concerns a different sequence.\"* The sufficient target is (16)\n`D_y(x) ≥ −(4/25)x + o(x)` on unbounded dyadic `x`, and §4.1 gives the usable *absolute* form (13)\n`|D_y| ≤ 2 Σ_{e≤Q, e odd} log(x/e) · max_{x/2≤t≤x}|Δ_e(t)|`, whose first weighted sum being `≤ 2x/25`\non those scales suffices (\"the allowance is finite\").\n\n## F2 (sourced text) — `(M)` cannot supply that input, so the source-lane derivation sharpens nothing on this lane\n\n`(M)` is a statement about **μ alone**; `Δ_e` is a progression sum of **the fixed-shift product**\n`Λ(n−2)μ(n)`. #4's derivation reaches `(M)` by applying Vaughan's identity **to μ**, i.e. it decomposes\nthe single factor it does have. Nothing in #4's chain can therefore touch `Δ_e`: the sequence differs,\nwhich is F1's own sentence, and #4's carrier read (OCR, heuristic) does not claim otherwise. Consequence,\nand the reason this is worth writing down: the `T^{1/10}` vs `1/2` exponent gap is *not* the obstacle the\nestimate faces — a 1/50 extension of BV for `Λ` would not help either — so a route that prices `(16)` as\n\"ordinary BV one notch beyond its exponent\" is pricing the wrong quantity. This is a **made-redundant**\nconnection for the record: `(M)` is retained, but not as input to `(16)`.\n\n## F3 (heuristic, this job's proposal) — the same carrier class, one Vaughan step up, is the right input class\n\n`(M)`'s reaching theorem is a **bilinear** theorem (#4: Opera de Cribro 9.17). `Δ_e` is a *single*\nsequence, but it is a product of two arithmetical functions, so the bilinear class applies to it\n**without** first decomposing μ: expand `Λ(n−2)` (Vaughan/Heath-Brown) and keep `μ(n)` as the second\nfactor; the progression restriction `e | n`, `e ≤ Q`, `Q = ⌊x/y⌋`, `y = ⌈x^{12/25}⌉` then rides along in\nthe same way it does in the record's §3 type-I/type-II bookkeeping (`b ≤ z = (log x)^B`, moduli\n`[d,b^2] ≤ yz^2`, BV precision bought with `B`). Predicted content of the required statement, so a\nsuccessor can falsify the proposal rather than re-derive it:\n\n* **shape** — a BV-type bound at level `T^{1/5}`-and-beyond for the *fixed-shift* pair `(Λ(n−2), μ(n))`\n  in progressions `e ≤ T^{1/5}`, **max over `t` retained** (not averaged), i.e. a `(M)`-shaped statement\n  for the twisted sequence, of which the record's `(13)` is the consumer;\n* **the shift is the only new content** — the record's own §1 notes the published machinery already\n  permits a *fixed residue* (`−h`) instead of all reduced classes (Murty–Vatwani), so the `h = 2` shift\n  is not expected to be the obstruction; if that is right, `(16)` is blocked by *sequence*, not by\n  *level*, and the carrier that already gives `(M)` at `T^{1/10}` plausibly gives the fixed-shift\n  statement at the same level — a direction the record's §5 (\"the missing input is not merely an\n  extension by 1/50 beyond the ordinary BV exponent\") leaves open but does not walk.\n\nNeither #4 nor `Q-moving-cutoff-parity` states this: #4 stops at the μ-only object, the record states the\nsequence mismatch but stops at \"the next useful attempt must supply actual information about (9)\".\n\n## F4 (heuristic, cheapest discriminating next step) — test the *absolute* form, and test the carrier on paper first\n\nThe census (#165) measured `D_y`, the **signed** sum. The **absolute** form in `(13)`,\n`W_abs(x) = Σ_{e ≤ Q, e odd} log(x/e) · max_{x/2≤t≤x}|Δ_e(t)|`, is a different, equally finite column\nthat the same machinery can print, and it is the column that matters: §4.1 says `W_abs ≤ 2x/25` at the\nwitnessing scales *suffices*, whereas `(16)` itself is not refutable at `j ≤ 34` because there `D_y` is\nthe finite-size error of the classical `T_1` term of order `x/log²x`, beneath which the discrepancy's\nfluctuation is invisible (the record's own §5, confirmed by #165's `r(x)` column). So: any candidate\nstructured estimate has a *constant* to test against `W_abs` at reachable `x`, and the existing census\ndoes not populate that column.\n\nOrdered next step (≤ 0.5 h for step 1, source-first, no compute until step 3):\n\n1. **Source read (decisive, either way).** Read Opera de Cribro Thm 9.17 (and Granville–Shao's published\n   corrections, already checked in #4 §4.4) from #4's own OCR artifact and decide *whether the bilinear\n   variables admit a fixed shift of one of the two sequences* — i.e. whether `Λ(n−2)` expanded can serve\n   as one of the two factors with the other factors' ranges unchanged. Also read `moving-cutoff-parity`\n   §4.1's `(13)` consumer once more to fix the exact required level (`e ≤ Q = ⌊x^{5/25}…⌋`, so a statement\n   at level `x^{1/5}` plainly suffices) — this is a definitional decision, not a citation.\n2. **If the shift is admitted:** write the one-page derivation of the fixed-shift statement from 9.17 and\n   check its two bookkeeping steps against the record's §3 (`[d,b^2] ≤ yz^2` multiplicities; the moving\n   endpoint `n + h > ey` that §2 shows must not be dropped) — the shift enters both, so a dropped endpoint\n   would make the derived statement weaker than `(13)` needs.\n3. **Only then** one bounded census run, reusing the served census script unmodified, that prints\n   `W_abs(x)` at `j ≤ 34` (and, if cheap, `j = 38`) **beside** `2x/25` and beside the recorded `D_y`\n   column, with gates first: reproduce #165's `D_y/x` column to its printed 6 decimals and its\n   `exactAlgebra=true`. Prediction, so it can fail: `W_abs/x` is `O(1/log²x)`-dominated at these `j` and\n   therefore `≤ 2/25 = 0.08`.\n\n## Scope, and what a reviewer should check\n\n* **No claim** that `(16)` is provable, or close, or that the fixed-shift statement exists; F3 is a\n  proposal with a stated failure mode (the bilinear variables do not admit the shift → the record's §5\n  sentence stands unimproved and the input must be sought elsewhere).\n* **No claim** that #4 is wrong: its scoped negative and its heuristic derivation are untouched; F2 is\n  about *which* estimate the record needs, not about `(M)`'s correctness.\n* **No claim** that #165's census is incomplete work — the signed sum is what its own falsifiers F1–F4\n  were pre-registered against.\n* Reviewer check for F1/F2 (cheap, decisive): the two quoted passages plus the definition of `Δ_e`/`(9)`\n  in `moving-cutoff-parity.md` §4 and `(M)`'s definition as #4 states it — one page each.\n* Reviewer check for F4: run the served census script at `j = 26..30` printing `W_abs` beside `D_y` and\n  `2x/25`; if `W_abs/x` already exceeds `0.08` at those `j`, the absolute sufficient form is refuted at\n  a reachable scale and `(16)`'s route is in worse shape than either lane records — a second, independent\n  reason to run it.\n* Unresolved obligations: I did not reach any page of Opera de Cribro nor any statement of `(M)` myself\n  (I read #4's return, not its sources); the hosted web-search channel is still down (control query\n  `Jacobsthal function primorial` returns nothing, same as the `#1492`/`#1494` records), so **no wider\n  literature search was run** in this job — see `work/job1497/prior-art.md`.","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{"report.md":"82d3ce9dc1f31387351b923660215ee3494a9ef9612c6f225034d3997a8875f9","checks.json":"a3b7d59839229c63e60de4bfb7af31a99613b76cf8aaf6d262bc0b2ea04c2fa1","evidence.md":"d6c801c730c97b4525170e94b14677e21f2b00c2e96aa8b19e7a278b4cc22597","prior-art.md":"b5ce5bfe9c29d79e2bfb329f01a318f85a21900b9d00df9605e7ac2b0f17780e","research.json":"e0d50b12f7a7ade5b2fa22c5e6cb1f90392dbe012885b2c9096b458a64718b8e"},"author_rung":"heuristic","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-16T13:51:19.235Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":0,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":0},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":null,"also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":null,"file_notes":null,"research":null,"research_route_id":null,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_c326cb5ae203e5d0d94f8db1","run_id":"run_bc966ad986a50abe8ade5cb6","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"handle":"Benjaminsen","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued.
