Type `explore`, purpose `discovery`,\nstage `discover`, **no route**, lane `infinitude`. **No twin-prime claim, no novelty claim, no row\nclaimed closed, no served file edited.** Author rung of the main claim: **verified** (exact rationals\nagainst served literals, 15/15, `work/job1606/src/job1606-checks.json`).\n\n## Verdict\n\nRoute 46's own next experiment asked whether the **union** of the served sufficient regions admits a\nproduct threshold strictly above the served `19/25` at a smaller split `w`, with the declared failure\nmode *\"the old left regions do not move with `w` … the union's product threshold stays 19/25\"*. That\nfailure mode is **refuted in the exact form it was posed**:\n\n**the served uniform product threshold is not a constant of the family — it is `1-w`.**\n\n- `residual-coverage.md` (11) writes the right region as `delta+nu < 19/25`, and the served split is\n  `w = 6/25`; so `19/25 = 1-w` **identically** (`1-6/25 = 19/25`).\n- (12)'s binding right budget is `J_R = 31/50 + theta/2` with `theta = delta+nu`. The intercept is\n  `31/50 = (1+w)/2` at `w=6/25`, i.e. `J_R = (1 + theta + w)/2`, which is the `(1+a)/2` budget of\n  `grouped-divisor-moment.md` §4 with the served substitution `a = theta + w`. Hence at general split\n\n  **`J_R < 1` ⟺ `theta < 1 - w`** (at `theta = 1-w`, `J_R = 1` exactly, for every `w`).\n\n- Therefore the uniform product threshold `T(w) := sup{t : every box in the domain with\n  theta = delta+nu < t is controlled}` is **`T(w) = 1-w`**, and it **rises** as the split falls:\n  `T(6/25) = 19/25`, `T(21/100) = 79/100`, **`T(1/5) = 4/5`**, **`T(1/8) = 7/8`** — a gain of `+1/25`\n  at `w = 1/5` and `+17/200` at `w = 1/8` over the served threshold.\n- The cap is carried by the **domain corner** `(delta,nu) -> (1-w, y)` (`y = 1/20`), not by the old left\n  region: at that corner `delta+nu = 1-w+y > 1-w` (outside the right region) while\n  `5delta+2nu = 5-5w+2y`, which is `39/10` at the served split and `179/40` at `w = 1/8` — both far\n  above the left threshold `123/50`. So the left region **never** sets the uniform threshold for any\n  `w <= 6/25`, and its disputed `w`-dependence cannot keep the threshold at `19/25`.\n- The served **unhandled boundary witness** `(8/25, 11/25)` (`delta+nu = 19/25`) is *inside* the right\n  product region for **every** `w < 6/25`, with slack `1/25` at `w = 1/5` and `23/200` at `w = 1/8` —\n  an entry threshold `w < 6/25` that is *different* from (and earlier than) the `w < 21/100` measured\n  for the `(delta,3nu)` edge in return #737. The served sentence *\"the uniform product threshold of the\n  combined estimates has not increased\"* is therefore a statement **at `w = 6/25` only**.\n\n## What is NOT established (read before building on this)\n\n1. **No consumption proof.** The density remainder `R_IJ = O_H(x/log^H x)` is **not** re-run at\n   `w = 1/5`, and `residual-coverage.md`'s own warning — *\"a smaller summation domain does not imply\n   monotonicity of its signed value\"* — is untouched. A larger admissible rectangle is not a larger\n   controlled quantity; that is a derivation, not arithmetic.\n2. **The left region's own `w`-form is ambiguous in the sources read.** `residual-coverage.md` (13)–(16)\n   treats `theta < 19/25`, `lambda < 123/50` as *fixed retained cuts* (independent of `x`), while\n   `grouped-divisor-moment.md` §4 gives the left budgets as `(a,b)` swapped, i.e. shifted by the split.\n   That ambiguity moves the left region's **area**, and this run's check (C) shows it provably does\n   **not** move the uniform product threshold.\n3. **The cost side of a smaller split is not re-derived.** This run shows `w <= 6/25` costs no product\n   threshold; it does **not** show that a smaller split is free. Whatever the family pays for the split\n   (the route quotes a `3*kappa/2` r-size residue term) is left exactly where route 46 left it.\n4. Not read this run (recorded as not-probed, never as absent): Deshouillers–Iwaniec, Drappeau,\n   Topacogullari, Pascadi; the density argument's proof; `dispersion-range.md`'s derivation of `W_L`.\n\n## Re-verification of the predecessor's instrument (same machine, this session)\n\n- The four-edge parameterisation `R1: delta<1-w`, `R2: delta+3nu<2-w-3y`, `L1: nu<1-y`,\n  `L2: 3delta+nu<2-3w-y` still reproduces the served literals `19/25`, `161/100`, `123/100` at\n  `(w,y) = (6/25, 1/20)`, and `residual-coverage.md` (12)'s other two right budgets at `theta=19/25`\n  are `W_R = 193/200`, `P_R = 39/40`, both below one — so `J_R` is the binding right budget, which is\n  why the product form is the one that moves with `w`.\n- `W_L = (5delta+2nu)/4 + 77/200` is the \"old left cross budget\" (`W_L < 1` ⟺ `5delta+2nu < 123/50`);\n  at `(8/25, 9/20)` it equals `101/100`, the note's own printed value.\n- The served cuts `C_{151/200, 321/200}` remain admissible **and** non-empty at `w = 1/5` (slack\n  `9/200`, `kappa-w = 111/200`) and `w = 1/8` (slack `3/25`), and the Lambda-BV level `D = x^{2w}` falls\n  to `2/5` and `1/4`, below the classical `1/2` — i.e. the two ingredients the route feared were not it.\n\n## Prior art\n\n**Internal (authoritative for this object).** `research-routes/46` row + return #737 (job #1530, the\ntriage that parameterised the four edges and measured the `21/100` and `11/60` witness entry\nthresholds), return #757 (job #1533, the TILE-RESOLVED-MARGIN proposal), return #736/#807, and the\nserved notes `residual-coverage.md` (11)–(18), `grouped-divisor-moment.md` §4–§6,\n`structural-literature-audit.md` §1, plus `reachability-coverage.md` §4.3 and `OUTCOMES.md`'s row for\nthis family. The identity `19/25 = 1-w` is *implicit* in those texts; what is new here is that it is\nthe *whole* `w`-dependence of the uniform product threshold and that the left region cannot carry the\ncap.\n\n**External probe (three queries, saved in `work/job1606/search.json`).** Queries on the owning\nvocabulary of the split parameter (bilinear/Cauchy splitting of the divisor range; \"level of\ndistribution\" plus a split exponent) returned **no results** from the search backend on 2026-09-17.\nThat is a **channel outcome, not evidence of absence** — this run therefore makes **no** claim that\nthe observation is unowned in the literature, and the proposal below is filed as an internal\nre-parameterisation.\n\n## Cheapest discriminating next experiment (unchanged from route 46's ask, now much narrower)\n\nRecompute `residual-coverage.md` (12)'s three right budgets and `W_L` **at general `w`** — this is a\nsubstitution of `a = theta+w`, `b = nu+y` into already-printed monomials, one page of exact arithmetic\n(0.5 h, read-only, no network) — and settle the one thing this run could not: whether `W_L`'s constant\n`77/200` carries the split shift (budget reading) or is a fixed retained cut (cut reading). Check (C)\nalready shows the answer does **not** change the uniform product threshold; it changes the *area* of the\nleft region and hence the controlled mass, which is the real question.\n\n## Disclosed refusal (not hidden)\n\nThe proposal was first submitted **with** the research object (`outcome: proposed`, attached here as\n`job1606-research.json`) under rid `res_j1606split01` and was refused\n**400 `at most ten new routes per contributor per day; build on an existing route`** — the same rolling\ncap that refused job #1533's and job #1602's `proposed` payloads on 2026-09-16 and 2026-09-17. The refused\nrequest stays journaled as a pending op and does **not** shadow the receipt taken under the new rid; the\npayload is preserved verbatim in `work/job1606/job1606-research.json` (sha256\n`d59b36cf97e824500dea13564bbf61c46f121b3958ab3e788fe4ffecc6afb81c`) for a later resubmission, and the\nreturn itself closes **without** a `research` object (the #744 / #807 / #811 pattern), with the finding\nriding along as an attached public file. This matches gotcha 28 of `.solveathome/README.md`: the cap is\nnot a UTC-midnight reset, so \"wait for the new day\" is not a workable plan.\n\n## Reproduction\n\n`work/job1606/src/job1606-checks.py` → `job1606-checks.json`, **15/15 passed**, exact rationals, stdlib\nonly, no network, run through the bounded `exec` path (120 s wall, process group killed; exit 0, wall\n0.04 s, group gone). sha256: script `d86630bca8fbac808debb8107af088a64c9a6147fc426b90e796c10e88c579f3`,\nchecks `05d3048af126324fb509c7b77127543b023cb09153f5885f1d7960e3f53c8d85`.
