What was done (rung: EXACT finite identity + finite measurement; no asymptotic claim)\n\nReturn #701 (job #1497) concluded that return #4's estimate **(M)** cannot supply the open target\n(16) because (M) is about `μ(n)` while the target needs the **fixed-shift product**\n`Λ(n−2)μ(n)`: \"blocked by *sequence*, not by *level*\". The first question that decides how strong\nthat sentence is: **is the μ-factor removable by an exchange, and if so, what exactly is the input\nthe exchange demands?** That is a finite, exact question, and it is answered here.\n\nMöbius inversion on the second factor (`μ = (μ*μ) * 1`, i.e. `ĝ = μ*μ`) gives, for **any** `f`,\n\n    Σ_{n≤N} f(n−2) μ(n)  =  Σ_{d≤N} (μ*μ)(d) · Σ_{m≤N/d} f(d·m − 2).            (E)\n\nThree checks, all exact:\n\n* **C-A (exact integers).** With `f(k) = ((k² mod 101) − 50)` and `g = μ`, (E) holds as an integer\n  equality: `lhs = rhs = 1392` at `N = 2·10^4` (range-aligned: `n ≥ 3` on both sides).\n* **C-A2 (shift control).** The same exchange with shift `0` also holds exactly (`−6623 = −6623`),\n  so (E) is not an artefact of `−2`; what changes is only the inner summation class.\n* **C-B (`f = Λ`, `N = 10^6`).** The full exchange (`D = N`) reproduces the direct sum to\n  `rel_diff = 6.2e−14`: `direct = exchange_full = −1830.3731790688`.\n* **C-C (exact class check).** For `d = 2` the inner sum can only see prime powers of two:\n  `ψ(N;2,−2) = 13.1707` equals `19·log 2` exactly (19 powers of 2 below `10^6`), confirming that the\n  inner sum is the *shifted-progression* prime sum `ψ(N;d,−2)` and nothing else.\n\n## 2. Where the shift lands, and what that changes\n\nThe inner sum of (E) **is** `Σ_{m≤N/d} Λ(dm−2) = ψ(N; d, −2)`, the prime sum over the single class\n`−2 (mod d)` — a quantity *ordinary* Bombieri–Vinogradov already bounds (its `max_a` covers every\nfixed class, including `a = −2`). So at the level of the plain sum, the sequence obstruction of\n#701 is **not** an algebraic obstruction: the μ-factor can be exchanged away, and the price is a\ndivisor-weighted sum over ordinary shifted class sums. The measured portrait at `N = 10^6`\n(`x^{1/5} = 15`) records how far that gets: the truncation at `D = x^{1/5}` is `−5.332e5`\n(`|·|/x = 0.533`), while the full-`D` remainder against the `1/φ(d)` heuristic main term is\n`2.282 x` (`1.662 x` at the truncation) — i.e. the class sums carry no visible saving at reachable\n`x`; nothing here is a bound in either direction.\n\n**The revised gap (this is the additive part).** What #701's carrier form adds on top of (E) is the\n**max over `t` and the moving endpoint (`n + h > ey`)** with `e ≤ Q = ⌊x/y⌋`, `y = ⌈x^{12/25}⌉`.\nUnder the exchange the cutoff itself becomes `d`-dependent, so the object the carrier needs is not\n`ψ(N;d,−2)` but a **`d`-shifted, moving-cutoff class sum**, and that is exactly the piece ordinary BV\ndoes not supply. So the honest form of #701's sentence is: *blocked by the carrier's moving cutoff,\nnot by the multiplicativity of μ* — a strictly narrower and cheaper-to-refute gap than \"different\nsequence\".\n\n## 3. Route draft (proposed; `research.proposal` attached)\n\n* **Object.** `W_abs`-side carrier average of #701/#702 for `a(n) = Λ(n−2)μ(n)`: after (E), the\n  input class is `Σ_{d≤D} (μ*μ)(d) · (d-shifted, moving-cutoff class sum)`; the route is a bound at\n  level `x^{1/5}` in *this* form instead of \"a fixed-shift BV-type bound for the product\".\n* **Step that must hold.** The exchange must survive the carrier's `max_t`/moving endpoint, i.e. the\n  `d`-dependence introduced by the cutoff must factor through a single averaged class sum. If it\n  does, the route inherits the whole classical BV machinery (Motohashi's convolution mechanism as\n  read by return #705/Levin 1984 Thm 1) and the \"sequence\" wall is gone.\n* **Cheapest refuting check (first, source-first, ~0.5 h, no compute).** Read Motohashi 1976\n  (Proc. Japan Acad. 52, 273–275, Zbl 0355.10035, DOI 10.3792/pja/1195518296) and Levin 1984 Thm 1\n  (Zbl 0547.10037, quoted in #705): decide whether the transfer mechanism works by *divisibility*\n  (`Σ_{d|n}`) or by *dispersion/bilinear* (`Σ_d ĝ(d) Σ_m`). (E) is the divisor-inversion form; a\n  dispersion form is shift-compatible, a divisibility form is not, and the two branches lead to\n  different experiments. Either branch is a result: the negative branch closes the Motohashi channel\n  for the fixed-shift product and leaves the record's `moving-cutoff-parity.md` §5 sentence standing.\n* **Second check (finite, ~1.5 h, ≤1 CPU-h), only if the first is positive.** Re-run the carrier\n  form on a toy range with `d`-dependent cutoffs (python3, exact arithmetic, gates: reproduce (E)\n  exactly at `N = 10^6` — the two checks above already do this — and reproduce #165's `D_y/x` to six\n  decimals before printing anything new).\n* **Nearest prior work and the exact difference.** (i) Motohashi 1976 / Levin 1984 Thm 1 (via\n  return #705, job #1500): they give the *convolution* transfer and a published `(M)`-shaped\n  theorem for `μ` — the exact difference is that (E) is a **shift into the summation class, not a\n  convolution**, which no source in the record was read for. (ii) arXiv hit `q1`\n  (query `all:\"Bombieri-Vinogradov\" AND all:\"convolution\"`, 4 entries, control 73):\n  *\"Convolution-type Bombieri–Vinogradov theorem with well-factorable weights, and its\n  applications\"* — the modern convolution-type carrier, and the natural place to test whether a\n  shifted, `d`-dependent cutoff is admissible; not yet read. (iii) return #4 §5 and #701/#702 as\n  the statements being narrowed.\n\n## 4. Scope and unresolved obligations\n\nNothing re-derived asymptotically, no twin-prime claim, **no novelty claim** for (E) — it is\nMöbius inversion plus a rearrangement, with the finite checks as evidence of correctness, not of\nstrength. The measurement is finite (`N = 10^6`); the portrait's remainders are raw numbers, not\nbounds, and no asymptotic conclusion is drawn from them.
