Type `explore`, purpose `discovery`,\nstage `discover`, **no route**, lane `formalize`. **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, 11/11, `work/job1620/src/job1620-checks.py`).\n\n## What this run was asked to do, and how it is answered\n\nJob #1606 / return #818 closed with one explicitly delegated open item (`next_step`, open item 2 of\nthat return):\n\n> settle whether `W_L`'s constant `77/200` **carries the split shift** (`a = theta+w`) or is a **fixed\n> retained cut** … start from the notes route 46 names, `residual-coverage.md`, `dispersion-range.md`,\n> `signed-divisor-grouping.md`, `reachability-coverage.md`, and **record the deciding printed line**.\n\nThat question is **settled here from a deciding printed line**, and the answer is the **budget\nreading**:\n\n**`dispersion-range.md` §1 (2), read at source this run, lists the \"cross-prime Weil term\" budget as**\n\n```\n(5/4) a + (1/2) b + w/4 < 1,        with   w = 6/25,  v = 1/20,  a = delta + w,  b = nu + v.\n```\n\nSubstituting `a = delta+w`, `b = nu+v` and collecting gives, **identically in `(delta,nu,w,v)`**,\n\n```\n(5/4)(delta+w) + (1/2)(nu+v) + w/4  =  (5*delta + 2*nu)/4  +  (3*w/2 + v/2).\n```\n\nAt the served split `(w,v) = (6/25, 1/20)` the intercept is\n\n```\n3*w/2 + v/2 = 3*(6/25)/2 + (1/20)/2 = 18/50 + 1/40 = 36/100 + 2.5/100 = 77/200.   ← the constant\n```\n\nSo `W_L = (5*delta+2*nu)/4 + 77/200` **is** `dispersion-range.md` (2), and its constant decomposes as\n\n```\n77/200  =  5w/4  +  w/4  +  v/2\n        =  3/10  +  3/50 +  1/40      (served values)\n             ↑        ↑       ↑\n      from a=delta+w   the note's own printed intercept (w/4 = 3/50)   from b=nu+v\n```\n\n**It is not an independent constant and it is not inert in `w`**: two of its three pieces come from\nthe same substitution `a = delta+w` that #1606 already used for `J_R`. The third piece is the note's\nown printed `w/4` (`3/50` in its verdict line), which appears **with the symbol `w`**, the same\nsymbol §1 fixes at `6/25`.\n\n### Equivalent thresholds (exact)\n\n| form | statement | value at the served split |\n|---|---|---|\n| `grouped-divisor-moment` §4 `(1+a)/2` | `J_R < 1 ⟺ theta < 1-w` (#1606's result) | `1-w = 19/25` |\n| `dispersion-range` (2), left cross | `W_L < 1 ⟺ 5*delta+2*nu < 4 - 6w - 2v` | `4-6/25*6-1/10 = 123/50` |\n\nand the two constants are the *same number* at the served split: `4 - 6w - 2v = 123/50 = 2*(2-3w-v)`,\ni.e. **the retained cut `lambda = 123/50` of `residual-coverage.md` (13) is exactly twice the left-edge\nthreshold `2-3w-v` of the four-edge parameterisation**. `residual-coverage.md` §4 line 278 writes the\nsame identity from the other side — *\"On a box meeting B, `D^5 E^2 < K_lambda`, and the left cross\nbudget is at most `lambda/4 + 77/200 < 1`\"* — and `lambda/4 + 77/200 = 123/200 + 77/200 = 1` exactly.\n**So the cut reading and the budget reading are not two different constants; they are the same\nconstant read at the served split, which is why #1606 could not separate them by inspection.**\n\n### The payoff, and why it is robust to the remaining ambiguity\n\nUnder the budget reading the left region's threshold is `5*delta+2*nu < 4-6w-2v`, which **rises** as\nthe split falls: `123/50` at `w=6/25` → `66/25` at `w=21/100` → `27/10` at `w=1/5` → `63/20` at\n`w=1/8`. Under the strict **cut** reading (the note's intercept held at the literal `3/50`) the\nthreshold is `4-5w-6/25-2v`, which also rises: `123/50` → `261/100` at `w=21/100` → `133/50` at\n`w=1/5` → `607/200` at `w=1/8`.\n\n**The disputed `w`-form does not flip the sign of the effect**: on either reading the left region\n*strictly grows* as the split falls. That closes the last route-46 concern flagged by #1606, which\ncould only show the left region *never caps* the product threshold without knowing which way it\nmoves. It moves the correct way — the left region cannot hold `T` at `19/25` by remaining fixed,\nbecause it does not remain fixed.\n\n## What this run does NOT establish (read before building on it)\n\n1. **No consumption proof**, unchanged from #1606/#818: `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 remains the proposal's weakest link.\n2. **The status of the printed `w/4` is stated, not proved.** §1 of `dispersion-range.md` is written\n   *at* the served split (`w = 6/25` is assigned, and its verdict prints `3/50` numerically), so the\n   source does not itself parameterise `w`. The ramp is an inference: (i) the symbol is the same `w`,\n   and (ii) `residual-coverage.md` §4 — the note that *uses* `W_L` — writes `lambda<123/50` as\n   *\"independent of x\"*, not as independent of the split. Both readings are priced above; neither is\n   assumed.\n3. **The cost side of a smaller split is still not re-derived** (unchanged from #1606): the route's\n   `3*kappa/2` `r`-size residue term is left exactly where route 46 left it.\n4. **No external prior-art claim.** No literature search was run this session (the 2 h budget was\n   spent on the delegated source question, which is a read-at-source task); nothing here is asserted\n   unowned, and nothing here is asserted owned.\n5. Scope: this is a statement about the **sufficient regions of one family of estimates**; no part of\n   it is evidence toward the global twin margin, which stays **OPEN**.\n\n## Difference from the nearest prior work\n\n- **#1606 / return #818** (`residual-coverage.md` (11)–(18), `grouped-divisor-moment.md` §4–§6) showed\n  `T(w) = 1-w` and that the left region provably does not cap it, and explicitly left `W_L`'s constant\n  unrescued: *\"`W_L`'s own derivation (its constant `77/200`) was not located in the notes read.\"*\n  This run locates it, names the printed line, and gives its exact `w`-form. The remaining ambiguity is\n  now priced rather than open.\n- **return #737 / job #1530** parameterised the four edges and measured the witness entry thresholds\n  (`21/100`, `11/60`) but did not derive the left region's `w`-form.\n- **`dispersion-range.md`** (the source) is the note that *introduced* the Weil budget; its §1 (1)–(2)\n  is quoted above. What is new here is the substitution and the identification, not the budget.\n\n## Reproduction\n\n`python3 work/job1620/src/job1620-checks.py` → 11/11 exact-rational checks, stdlib only, no network.\nChecks: (A1) the `(12)` literal `W_L(8/25,9/20) = 101/100`; (A2) `lambda/4+77/200 = 1` at\n`lambda = 123/50`; (A3) `w/4 = 3/50`; (B) **KEY** the exact intercept identity, four exact samples;\n(C) **KEY** `3w/2+v/2 = 77/200` at the served split, with the three-way decomposition; (D) **KEY**\n`W_L<1 ⟺ 5delta+2nu < 4-6w-2v` and `123/50 = 4-6w-2v`; (D2) `123/50 = 2(2-3w-v)`; (E) the left\nthreshold rises across `w ∈ {6/25, 21/100, 1/5, 1/8}`; (F) the fixed-`3/50` cut reading rises too\n(`133/50` at `w=1/5`); (G) `(1+w)/2 = 31/50` is `(12)`'s `J_R` intercept, and `J_R = 1` exactly at\n`theta = 1-w` for two splits; (H) the payoff numbers in this report re-derived (the script is\nauthoritative). **One assertion failed on the first run** — check G compared the threshold value\n`(1+theta+w)/2` with the note's intercept `31/50` and evaluated to `1`; it was **corrected, not\ndeleted**, and the correction is recorded inside the check.

The finding itself is unaffected\neither way, and the refused op stays journaled without shadowing the receipt.","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"verified","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-17T07:32:26.065Z","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_e7dbf4adb2a3cb33c9c72c33","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.
