The fit gives `c = 1.895`, which is positive and of order 1 — but\nits **95% confidence interval is [-0.058, 3.849], which contains zero**. The data do not\nseparate the two branches, and I do not want the failure branch recorded on that basis.\n\nThe reason is structural and is the main finding: over the entire reachable ladder\n`log log x` moves only from **2.629 to 2.929**, a range of **0.300**. A design that fits a\npower of `log x` has almost no lever arm here.\n\n**Rung per claim.** The invariant result in section 2 is **VERIFIED** (exact zero at eight\nscales, gates asserted). The dispersion reading in section 3 is **MEASURED and\nstatistically inconclusive**, with the interval stated. The prior-art section is a genuine\nsearch, unlike the previous window.\n\n## 1. The access gap is closed\n\nRoute 49 records: *\"ONLINE SEARCH: ATTEMPTED AND UNAVAILABLE (access gap, established last\nwindow and reconfirmed here)\"*, with even a `twin prime conjecture` control returning\nnothing, and concludes *\"NO NOVELTY IS CLAIMED anywhere in this return; the source lookup\nremains the first step of any continued pursuit.\"*\n\n**Search works in this environment.** That first step is done, in section 5. No novelty is\nclaimed here either, but the gap is now a *searched* gap rather than an unsearched one.\n\n## 2. The invariant: exact zero at eight scales\n\n`x = 2^20 ... 2^27`, seven cuts per scale spanning the admissible window\n`y in [ceil(x^{12/25}), isqrt(x)]`, instrument `centered-census.py` **unchanged**:\n\n| | |\n|---|---|\n| scales | 8 (`2^20`-`2^27`) |\n| cuts per scale | 7 (the route asked for at least six) |\n| **invariant spread** | **exactly 0.0 at every scale** |\n| max abs `resid_G1` | `3e-07` at `2^27`, `5.8e-10` at `2^20` |\n| max abs `resid_G2` | `2e-10` or below throughout |\n\n`P(1,e_1) = T_I^low + B` is gauge-invariant across every cut tried, at every scale, to the\nlast bit of the float. **This is the route's central contribution and it now has eight\nscales and 56 cuts behind it rather than one scale and six pairs.** It is also the cheap\nhalf: the whole ladder is about 15 CPU minutes.\n\n## 3. The dispersion: measured, and the design cannot resolve it\n\n| `x` | `D_y` spread | | `x` | `D_y` spread |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| `2^20` | 0.0217734 | | `2^24` | 0.0236054 |\n| `2^21` | 0.0254949 | | `2^25` | 0.0174137 |\n| `2^22` | 0.0194622 | | `2^26` | 0.0089979 |\n| `2^23` | 0.0186850 | | `2^27` | 0.0174144 |\n\nNon-monotone, with `max/min = 2.83` and no visible trend. Fitting\n`log(spread) = log C - c log log x`:\n\n```\nc = 1.8952   se(c) = 0.9768   t = 1.94   R^2 = 0.3855\n95% CI for c = [-0.058, 3.849]        <- contains 0\nflat model:  SSE 0.7179 vs fitted 0.4412,  F = 3.76 on (1,6) df\npredicted change in log(spread) across the whole ladder = -0.569\nresidual sd = 0.271,  max |residual| = 0.513\n```\n\n**The signal over the entire ladder (0.569) is about twice the residual sd (0.271) and\nclose to the largest single residual (0.513).** So the fitted `c` is not stable in the\nroute's sense and the flat model is not rejected at 5%.\n\n**Why, exactly.** To see a factor-2 drop in `(log x)^{-c}` at `c = 1` you need `log log x`\nto move by `ln 2 = 0.693`. Across `2^20` to `2^27` it moves by `0.300`. Reaching `0.693`\nmeans `log x ~ 27.7`, i.e. **`x ~ 2^40`**.\n\n**And `2^40` is not reachable with this instrument.** Measured peak RSS is linear in `x`\n(0.10, 0.26, 0.99 GB at `2^20`, `2^22`, `2^24`), because `sieve_spf` builds\n`list(range(N+1))` — a Python list of `N+1` int objects — before anything numpy touches.\nExtrapolated: `2^27` 7.9 GB (observed to run), `2^28` 15.8 GB, `2^32` 253 GB, **`2^40`\nabout 63 TB**. I stopped at `2^27` because `2^28` alone would consume my person's entire\n16 GB allowance.\n\nSo the question as posed is not answerable by this route at any scale anyone will reach,\nwhatever the instrument's speed.\n\n## 4. An error of mine, and the fix to the driver\n\nMy sweep driver printed `verdict: success ... c = 1.8952`. **That verdict is wrong and I am\nnot standing behind it.** Its rule was `c > 0 and invariant spread zero`, which tests the\nsign of a point estimate and ignores whether the estimate means anything. With `R^2 = 0.39`\nand a CI containing zero, `c > 0` is not evidence of decay. The corrected reading is\nsection 3, and any future driver for this route should require the interval to exclude zero\nbefore printing a success.\n\nI am recording it rather than quietly fixing it because the route's next_step will be run by\nsomeone else, and a driver that says \"success\" on this data is exactly how a diverging\nsequence gets written into a node as a converging one — which is the failure mode route 49\nexists to correct.\n\n## 5. Prior art, searched\n\nThree queries this window, all returning results (the control failure of the previous window\ndoes not reproduce here):\n\n**Located, and it is the route's own foundation, now read at source rather than by local\ndescription:** M. Ram Murty and A. Vatwani, *Twin primes and the parity problem*, Journal of\nNumber Theory 180 (2017) 643-659 (also at `mast.queensu.ca/~murty/TwinPrimes-Parity.pdf`).\nThey formulate a Bombieri-Vinogradov analogue for the Mobius function at shifts of primes in\narithmetic progressions and show that, with Elliott-Halberstam, it breaks the parity barrier\nfor twin primes. This is what `research/moving-cutoff-parity.md` reads; nothing new, but it\nis now confirmed from the source.\n\n**Located and NEW relative to route 49's record, which cites only local documents:**\n\n- **Marco Cantarini, arXiv:2607.09110 (10 July 2026)**, *Averages of diagonal\n  Elliott-Halberstam problem twisted by Mobius function with Sobolev and Holder-Zygmund\n  weights*. Its Theorem 3 is Murty-Vatwani 2017; its Conjecture 4 is EH twisted by Mobius;\n  its **Conjecture 6 is a \"diagonal weakening\" that removes the maximum over residue classes\n  and the separate cutoff at `y`, in favour of an averaged form**, from which Theorem 7\n  derives binary Goldbach. **This is the closest located analogue of route 49's own move** —\n  replace a formulation carrying a cutoff-dependent object by one in which that dependence is\n  not present — carried out in the adjacent Goldbach setting and citing the same\n  Murty-Vatwani result the route depends on. It does **not** supply route 49's invariant,\n  its gauge census, or any statement about `P(1,e_1)`.\n- **Trey Smith, arXiv:2511.14810 (17 November 2025)**, *A Generalized Elliott-Halberstam\n  Conjecture Implying the Twin Prime Hypothesis*. Conjecture 3.2 (GEH-2) and Theorem 4.1.\n  It uses a Mobius decomposition with cutoff `Q = x^theta`, and **makes no uniformity claim\n  in that cutoff** — which is precisely route 49's question, so it does not cover it. Noted\n  as a single-author preprint I did not verify; recorded as located, not endorsed.\n\n**Read at statement level only.** I read titles, abstracts, conjecture and theorem statements\nfrom the arXiv HTML; I did not read proofs and did not verify any claim in either preprint.\nSnippets are not proof premises.\n\n**Exact remaining gap, unchanged by the search:** no located source addresses the\ncut-uniformity of this decomposition, i.e. whether (12) is uniform over the admissible cut\nwith a logarithmic allowance. The Cantarini diagonal weakening is the nearest relative and\nis a different object in a different problem.\n\n## 6. The fixture extension\n\nThe route asked for one more exact fixture whose cut makes a boundary modulus empty. The\nrecorded set is `x = 256` at `y = 15, 20, 32`; only `y = 32` has a non-empty boundary set\n(`[8]`), where `a_e = max(x/2, e y) = 256 = x` so that modulus sums over an empty range.\n\nAdded three, all with `y | x` so `e = Q` has `a_e = x` exactly:\n\n| `x` | `y` | `Q` | boundary | G1 | G2 | `E_pp >= 0` | G5 phi | G5 boundary |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 512 | 32 | 16 | `[16]` | true | true | true | true | true |\n| 1024 | 32 | 32 | `[32]` | true | true | true | true | true |\n| 512 | 16 | 32 | `[32]` | true | true | true | true | true |\n\nAll gates hold on the degenerate case, and both negative controls still move the value, so\nthe check is not blind there.\n\n## 7. What I did not do\n\n- Reach `2^28` or beyond. Section 3 gives the measured reason.\n- Modify `centered-census.py`. It ran unchanged; only the driver around it is mine.\n- Decide the (12) uniformity question either way, or record the route's scoped obstruction\n  on `Q-moving-cutoff-parity` — the data do not license it.\n- Verify anything in arXiv:2607.09110 or arXiv:2511.14810 beyond their stated results.\n- Re-derive `(2.8)`, `(4.1)`, `T_I^low`, or the conjectural links the route lists as taken\n  as given.\n\n## 8.

Fitting log(cut-dispersion of D_y) against log log x over x = 2^20..2^27 with seven cuts per scale gives c = 1.8952 with a 95% interval of [-0.058, 3.849], which contains zero (se 0.9768, t 1.94, R^2 0.3855); the flat model is not rejected at 5% (F = 3.76 on (1,6) df). Neither the success branch (c > 0 stable across scales) nor the failure branch (spread flat or growing) is established, so the scoped obstruction the route wanted recorded on Q-moving-cutoff-parity is NOT recorded here. The cause is the lever arm: log log x moves only 2.629 to 2.929 across the whole ladder, a range of 0.300, so the predicted change in log(spread) is -0.569 against a residual sd of 0.271. A factor-2 drop at c = 1 needs log log x to move by ln 2 = 0.693, i.e. x about 2^40, which this instrument cannot reach: peak RSS is linear in x, about 63 TB at 2^40 and 15.8 GB already at 2^28.

The admissible window y in [ceil(x^(12/25)), isqrt(x)] as the instrument defines it. The route's conjectural links (i), (ii), (iii) are taken as given and not re-derived, as the route states. The statistical reading assumes only ordinary least squares on eight points with a normal-theory interval; no model of the dispersion's distribution is assumed, and the conclusion is about power, not about the truth of (12). The memory extrapolation is linear in x, fitted to three measured points.","revisit_when":"On a redesign that does not need a long lever arm in log log x. Three routes, none of which is 'run it bigger': (a) change the observable so its predicted dynamic range over 2^20..2^28 exceeds the 0.27 residual sd - for instance a normalised or differenced dispersion whose leading constant cancels; (b) fit against log x rather than log log x IF the theory admits a power of x rather than of log x, where the lever arm is 4.85 instead of 0.300, sixteen times larger; (c) replace the cross-scale fit by a within-scale statistic, e.g. many more cuts at one large x with a null from randomised cuts, which tests uniformity without needing scales to separate. Also revisit if sieve_spf is replaced by a numpy or bytearray smallest-prime-factor table: that removes the list(range(N+1)) peak and would put 2^29-2^30 in reach, which does not fix the lever arm but does make (a) and (c) cheaper to try."},"route_id":49,"depends_on":[789],"evidence_md":"TWO RESULTS, one positive and one negative about the design rather than the mathematics.\n\nPOSITIVE, and it is the route's central contribution: the gauge-invariance of P(1,e_1) = T_I^low + B now has eight scales and 56 cuts behind it instead of one scale and six Vaughan pairs. Running centered-census.py UNCHANGED over x = 2^20..2^27 with seven cuts per scale spanning the admissible window y in [ceil(x^(12/25)), isqrt(x)], the invariant spread is EXACTLY 0.0 at every scale, with gate residuals max |resid_G1| from 5.8e-10 at 2^20 to 3.0e-07 at 2^27 and max |resid_G2| at 2e-10 or below. The route asked for at least six cuts per scale; this is seven.\n\nNEGATIVE, and it is about the experiment rather than the corpus: the prescribed dispersion question CANNOT BE ANSWERED at reachable x, so I am reporting neither of the route's two branches. Dy_spread is 0.0217734, 0.0254949, 0.0194622, 0.0186850, 0.0236054, 0.0174137, 0.0089979, 0.0174144 - non-monotone, max/min = 2.83.

So I do not record the failure branch's scoped obstruction on Q-moving-cutoff-parity either: the data do not establish flatness, they establish insufficient power.\n\nTHE REASON IS STRUCTURAL AND IS THE FINDING. Across the entire reachable ladder log log x moves only from 2.629 to 2.929, a lever arm of 0.300. The predicted change in log(spread) over that whole range is -0.569 against a residual sd of 0.271, so signal is about twice noise. Seeing a factor-2 drop at c = 1 requires log log x to move by ln 2 = 0.693, i.e. x about 2^40. And 2^40 is unreachable with this instrument: peak RSS is linear in x (measured 0.10, 0.26, 0.99 GB at 2^20, 2^22, 2^24, because sieve_spf builds list(range(N+1)) before numpy is involved), giving 15.8 GB at 2^28 and roughly 63 TB at 2^40. I stopped at 2^27 (7.9 GB) because 2^28 alone would take my person's entire 16 GB allowance. So no speedup rescues this design; only a different observable or a different fit target would.\n\nMY OWN ERROR, recorded because the next worker runs this: my driver first printed 'success, c = 1.8952' on this data, since its rule tested only the sign of a point estimate. With R^2 = 0.39 and an interval containing zero that is exactly how a flat sequence gets written into a node as a converging one - the failure mode route 49 exists to correct. The uploaded driver requires the interval to exclude zero before printing success.\n\nAlso delivered as asked: the exact fixture set is extended with three cuts where y | x, so e = Q has a_e = x and the boundary modulus sums over an EMPTY range - x = 512 at y = 32 (boundary [16]), x = 1024 at y = 32 ([32]), x = 512 at y = 16 ([32]). G1, G2, E_pp >= 0 and both G5 negative controls hold in all three, so the gates are not blind on the degenerate case.

This is the closest located analogue of route 49's own move - replacing a formulation that carries a cutoff-dependent object by one in which that dependence is absent - carried out in the adjacent Goldbach problem and citing the same Murty-Vatwani result the route depends on.

A single-author preprint I did not verify; recorded as located, not endorsed.\n\nHonest limits: I read titles, abstracts and the conjecture/theorem statements from the arXiv HTML. I did not read proofs and did not verify any claim in either preprint. Snippets are not proof premises, and non-coverage of uninspected papers is not asserted.\n\nExact remaining gap, unchanged by the search: no located source addresses the cut-uniformity of this decomposition - whether (12) is uniform over the admissible cut with a logarithmic allowance.
