What was asked and what was done\n\nReturn #708 (job #1501) left a route draft whose **cheapest refuting check, “first, source-first,\n~0.5 h, no compute”** is verbatim: *“Read Motohashi 1976 (Proc. Japan Acad. 52, 273–275,\nZbl 0355.10035, DOI 10.3792/pja/1195518296) and Levin 1984 Thm 1 (Zbl 0547.10037 …): decide whether\nthe transfer mechanism works by **divisibility** (`Σ_{d|n}`) or by **dispersion/bilinear**\n(`Σ_d ĝ(d) Σ_m`). (E) is the divisor-inversion form; a dispersion form is shift-compatible, a\ndivisibility form is not, and the two branches lead to different experiments.”*\n\nThat read was executed here, and it went further than the draft expected: **the paper itself was\nobtained**, not a review of it. Chain (all channels calibrated in the same run, every reply hashed):\n\n1. `GET https://doi.org/10.3792/pja/1195518296` → Project Euclid landing page (200, 135 150 B):\n   *“An induction principle for the generalization of Bombieri's prime number theorem”, Yoichi\n   Motohashi, Proc. Japan Acad. 52(6): 273–275 (1976)*, marked subscriber-only on that page.\n2. The zbMATH API record for the paper (`an:0355.10035`, 200) gives `identifier 0355.10035`,\n   `zbmath_url https://zbmath.org/3552610`, and **`review_text: null` — Zbl 0355.10035 is a\n   record-only entry with no review**, so the review channel that carried job #1500's finding is\n   empty for *this* paper.\n3. **Semantic Scholar** (`api.semanticscholar.org/graph/v1/paper/DOI:10.3792/pja/1195518296`,\n   `fields=openAccessPdf,…`, 200): `citationCount 61` and\n   `openAccessPdf.status = \"BRONZE\"` with\n   `…/10.3792/pja/1195518296.pdf` — the publisher's own PDF, free to read.\n4. That URL answers **200, 243 573 B, `%PDF-`** (sha256 `fed9756aa1fae3b169e74276bbbbd7dc69e57b74070d4fd4bbb6821f75e2cbf0`)\n   and `pdftotext -layout` yields the full three pages (6 687 chars, saved + hashed).\n   The J-Stage mirror answers **500 on all three paths tried** from this computer.\n5. The modern adaptation of the same principle, **arXiv:2301.12669** (Dey–Savalia, *“An induction\n   principle for the Bombieri–Vinogradov theorem over F_q[t] …”*), was read in full text (ar5iv,\n   833 484 B) as a second, independent statement of the transfer.\n\n## 2. The answer to the draft's question: **divisibility/convolution**, with characters as the channel\n\nVerbatim from §1 of the paper (`sources/r5-motohashi1976.txt`; `()` = OCR damage for the two\nproperty labels):\n\n> *“Let f be a complex valued arithmetic function, and let introduce the following properties. (·):\n> f(n) = O(τ(n)^C) … (·): If the conductor of a non-principal character X is O((log x)·), then we have\n> … Σ f(n)χ(n) = O(x (log x)^{−·}). Further we consider the equi-distribution property (C): max_{q ≤\n> x^{1/2}(log x)^{−B}} max_{y≤x} max_{(q,l)=1} |E(y; q, l; f)| = O(x (log x)^{−A}) …* **Theorem 1. Let f\n> and g have the properties (·), (·), (C). Then the multiplicative convolution f·g does so.”**\n\nVerbatim from §2, the engine:\n\n> *“For the characters with relatively small conductor (of the order of a power of log x) we can use\n> the property (·). And for the characters with larger conductor **we appeal to the large sieve\n> method** coupled with the device of Chen [3] on a dividing of integrand.”*\n\nSo the mechanism is:\n* **indexed by divisors** — §2's proof is the decomposition\n  `E(y; q, l; f·g) = Σ_{u,(u,q)=1} f(u)·E(y/u; q, l·ū; g) + Σ_{v,(v,q)=1} g(v)·{E(y/v; q, l·v̄; f) − E(min(y/v, x(log x)^{−K'}); q, l; f)} + …`,\n  i.e. a sum over the divisors `u`,`v` of the convolution variable, with the *shift* appearing only\n  as the residue-class multiplier `l·ū`, `l·v̄`;\n* **transferred through multiplicative characters** — hypothesis (·) is a *character-sum* bound for\n  non-principal `χ` of conductor `O((log x)^D)`, hypothesis (C) is BV-type equidistribution at level\n  `x^{1/2}(log x)^{−B}`, and the large sieve over those characters is the engine;\n* **not dispersion** — the string `dispersion` occurs **0 times** in the three-page text\n  (check 7, and the count is asserted), and in the adaptation it occurs 3 times, all of them\n  historical (Linnik; Drappeau *“the error term in the dispersion method”*; the reference\n  *“The dispersion method in binary additive problems”*), never as the transfer's mechanism.\n\n**Branch taken (the draft's own dichotomy).** This is the **divisibility branch**, and its\nconsequence is the one #1501 predicted for that branch: *the Motohashi channel is closed for the\nfixed-shift product.* The reason is structural and can be stated exactly: Theorem 1 concludes\nsomething about `f·g(n) = Σ_{ab=n} f(a)g(b)`, and **no pair (f,g) of arithmetic functions has\n`f·g(n) = Λ(n−2)μ(n)`** — the fixed shift is not a divisor-indexed product, and hypothesis (·) is a\n*character sum of the factor itself* (`Σ_{n≤x} f(n)χ(n)`), which for a shifted factor becomes the\nfixed-shift prime character sum `Σ_{n≤x} Λ(n−2)χ(n)`, i.e. precisely the correlation the target\nneeds and no published input supplies. So: **Motohashi 1976 does not carry the fixed-shift product,\nand the record's sentence `docs/research/moving-cutoff-parity.md` §5 (ordinary BV for `Λ` “concerns a\ndifferent sequence”) stands unimproved.** The draft's first experiment (“re-run the carrier form on a\ntoy range with `d`-dependent cutoffs”) is therefore **not** the next step; the negative branch has\nbeen resolved first, which is what the draft asked to happen.\n\n## 3. The additive part: the moving cutoff the exchange produces is *the shape Motohashi already handles*\n\nThe draft's surviving gap after (E) is *“the carrier's `d`-dependent moving cutoff”*. The §2\ndecomposition quoted above contains a term with **exactly that shape**, and the paper says how it is\ndisposed of:\n\n> *“The sums Σ₁ and Σ₂ **are readily estimated by the property (C)**, and the second Riesz mean is\n> expressed as … Σ χ(n)f(n)n^{−s} with χ₀ the principal character (mod q) … In the smoothening\n> procedure we use the property (·).”*\n\nThat is: the second term is a **difference of the co-factor's class sums truncated at the\ndivisor-dependent endpoint `min(y/v, x(log x)^{−K'})`** — a `v`-dependent, i.e. divisor-dependent,\nmoving cutoff — and the paper's method does not need a new input for it: it uses the co-factor's own\n(C) (BV-type equidistribution) for the truncated difference, and the factor's (·) (character sums,\ni.e. the large-sieve input) for the smoothing tail. This is the published precedent the route was\nlooking for, and it is narrower **and more useful** than “no source”: the route's next step is\nre-specified below.\n\n## 4. Route-adjusted next step (proposed, not created — see §6)\n\nReformulate #1501's route object as: *show that the exchanged carrier's `d`-dependent cutoff term is\ndominated by the co-factor's BV-type property in the §2 pattern* — i.e. write the carrier as\n`Σ_{d≤D}(μ∗μ)(d)·(truncated − untruncated class sum) + tail`, estimate the truncated difference by\n(C)-of-the-co-factor and the tail by the character-sum property (·), instead of asking for a\ndispersion input that does not exist in this channel. The cheapest honest check remains finite and\ncheap: at `N = 10^6` (where #1501's (E) is already verified exactly) compare the two §2-shaped terms\nagainst the `1/φ(d)` heuristic portrait #1501 recorded (`1.662x` truncated / `2.282x` full), and\npre-register that the truncated difference is `o(x)` in the same normalisation. Nearest prior work\nnow includes, besides Motohashi 1976 / Levin 1984 (via #705): **Darbar–Mukhopadhyay, Acta Math.\nHungar. 163 (2021) 37–61 (Zbl 4217957)** — the same induction principle over imaginary quadratic\nfields, found in the adaptation's own introduction.\n\n## 5.
