{"id":826,"job_id":1622,"problem_id":1,"lane_id":2,"type":"explore","user_id":1,"model":"deepseek-v4-flash","provider":"deepseek","report_md":"## Scope: the refutation survives; what closed is a sentence, and it has not closed in the served corpus\n\nRescue of return #12 (job #3, type break, lane adversarial, accepted 2026-09-10, `final_rung: refuted`).\nIts negative conclusion: the **averaged** form of the Alternation Lemma — \"the run's internal gaps\naverage at least 3p − p/(L−1)\" — printed as PROVEN in `research/kappa-not-L.md` and repeated in\n`research/a3-08-adjacent-pairs.js` header item (c), is false for p ≡ 1 (mod 6) with L even.\n\nAnswer to the assignment's question, from a different perspective than #12's: the conclusion closes\n**only a statement**, and as of today, seven days after the accepted return, it has not even closed\nthat: the served snapshot still asserts the falsified bound in two files and still carries one of the\ntwo script defects #12 found. The *attempt* (job #3's programme) is untouched: Theorem A/B/C consume\nthe pairwise 6p statement, not the average — #12's own finding, re-derived here.\n\n### 1. The refutation is preserved, and its replacement is exact (rung: VERIFIED, exact integer arithmetic)\n\nFrom the same two-state walk, with z Z-gaps (class 0, cost ≥ 6p) and u = L−1−z strictly alternating\nnon-zero gaps of the small class s (s = 2p−2 for p ≡ 1 mod 6, s = 2p+2 for p ≡ 5 mod 6) and large\nclass 6p−s, the minimum span of a run of L kills is exact in closed form:\n\n    L odd :  3p(L−1)              L even :  3p(L−2) + s        (z = 0 minimises: 6p ≥ 6p−s)\n\nso the per-gap floor for even L is `3p − (3p−s)/(L−1)`, i.e. `3p − (p+2)/(L−1)` for p ≡ 1 mod 6.\nChecked against every minimum #12 published (folds 7, 13, 19, 31, 37; L = 2 and 4): the closed form\n**equals each of the 7 measured minima** (12, 24, 36, 60, 246, 72, 294), and the served sentence is\n**violated at all 7** by exactly 2 (12 < 14, 246 < 248, 294 < 296, …). So the refutation is preserved,\nthe replacement is attained where anything was measured, and it is sharp — not merely valid,\n`scripts/job1622-checks.py`, log `job1622-checks.log`, **ALL CHECKS PASS (0 failed)**.\n\n### 2. The print-state, fetched today (rung: VERIFIED, corpus inspection)\n\n| served file (snapshot `main`, fetched 2026-09-17 ~07:58–08:00Z) | state | locator |\n|---|---|---|\n| `research/kappa-not-L.md` | refuted sentence **still served** under \"The Alternation Lemma (PROVEN, and it is the prize)\" | line 52 |\n| `research/a3-08-adjacent-pairs.js` | refuted sentence **still served** in the header and in an embedded OUTPUT block | lines 66, 937 |\n| `research/Lgrowth.js` | `t.x > p` guard **still served** — prints the six cells with gcd(W, p) ≠ 1 (#12's defect (i)) | lines 65, 72 |\n\nFetch rids `q_j1622kappa`, `q_j1622a308`, `q_j1622lg` (hashes in `hashes`). #12 deliberately patched\nonly `kappa-not-L.md` and left that patch unapplied; this run confirms 7 days later that neither the\nsentence nor the guards moved. The rescued obstruction is therefore **integration, not mathematics**:\nthe corpus is still wrong in print while every downstream conclusion is unaffected.\n\n### 3. A different perspective moves one constant of the wall reading (rung: MEASURED, arithmetic; direction left open)\n\n`kappa-not-L.md` §\"The wall, located precisely\" says the alternation condition \"raises the per-gap\nfloor from about 2p to **exactly 3p**\" and caps Theorem B at `G₂/(3p) ≈ 0.18x`. By §1 the attainable\nfloor is not 3p at even L, and the ladder's dominant run length is L = 2, where it is s = 2p−2 for\np ≡ 1 mod 6: 1.71p–2.18p at folds 7–37, ratio 3p/s running 1.375–1.75. So the constant 3p in the cap\nis unattainable at the cell that dominates the data; the cap constant should be recomputed from\n`floor(L)`. **Not settled here:** which way that moves the cap for the failing branch (with the\nsmaller attainable floor the L implied by a given window sum is larger, which reads as a stronger\ncap, but the required branch is not the cap). That is the proposed experiment, and it is arithmetic\nonly.\n\n### 4. Prior art and search record (searched 2026-09-17)\n\nThe project's own search record already locates this object, so the online search started there:\n`SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md` **row 98** — the alternation-legal language is the *charge-constrained /\ndc-free / B-charge* family, ternary instance *alternate mark inversion*: Marcus–Roth–Siegel §1.5.4\npp. 15–16, §1.5.5 p. 17, §2.3 p. 47, §3.2 p. 75; Chien, *BSTJ* **49** (1970); Norris–Bloomberg,\n*IEEE Trans. Magn.* **17** (1981); Lind–Marcus (CUP 1995) — and **row 205** settles it (\"Is the\nalternation language's constraint family in print? **Yes, in a textbook**\"). **Row 87** records the\nspan/fusion object: Holt, arXiv:**2502.20470v3** §3 Lemma 2 (fusions at γ_i, γ_j share an image iff\np divides the span; thresholds J+1 and |s|/2) and arXiv:**2605.19165v1** §3.\n\nRead at source today: Holt, *Eratosthenes sieve supports the k-tuple conjecture*, arXiv:2502.20470v3\n(PDF 5 619 529 B, sha256 `ae561ee9…`), §3: \"For s = 2, 10, 2, 10, 2 and p ≥ 17, |s| < 2p so all\nfusions occur in separate images\", Lemma 2 as quoted. It supplies the published sieve mechanism for\nadjacent-gap spans; it does **not** state the arithmetic content of our lemma (small class 2p∓2, large\n4p±2, sum exactly 6p, the parity split), and no published statement of the averaged or exact floor was\nlocated. Channels: two `web_search` queries returned zero results (\"Marcus Roth Siegel alternate mark\ninversion…\", \"minimum weight path constrained system…\") — recorded as a **channel failure, not\nabsence**; Semantic Scholar was not attempted (budget). Scoped negative; no novelty claim: the method\nis printed, the arithmetic content stays ours, and §1 is a reproduction of a standard finite-length\nminimum-weight computation on that printed language family.\n\n### 5. Alternative proposed\n\nReplace the averaged sentence by the exact parity-split floor **Theorem A′** (statement in\n`job1622-research.json`), fix the `t.x >= p` guard and the `runFor` exactness gap, and recompute the\nwall's cap constant from `floor(L)`. `job1622-patch.diff` carries the one-sentence correction to\n`kappa-not-L.md` and the guard fix to `Lgrowth.js` as a unified diff (applying it still needs\n`node research/qc/embed.js` for the embedded OUTPUT blocks, which this run did not run).\n\n### 6. Not established\n\nNo tile pass and no run enumeration: nothing here reproduces or extends #12's fold-37 spectrum, and\nthe measured minima above are #12's published values, not re-measured. The direction of the §3 cap\nchange is open. The patch is proposed, not applied (the integrator applies it). Holt's mechanism is\ncited by inspection of §3 only. No claim is made about any served number beyond the two text facts in\n§2 and the arithmetic in §1.\n\n### Sources\n\n- Served project docs, snapshot `main`, fetched 2026-09-17 by this run: `research/kappa-not-L.md`\n  (Alternation Lemma paragraph; \"The wall, located precisely\"), `research/a3-08-adjacent-pairs.js`\n  (header item (c); embedded OUTPUT block), `research/Lgrowth.js` (sweep guard), `research/\n  SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md` (rows 87, 98, 205), `research/IMPORT-MAP.md`.
