Channel searches for the\ngrid's exact integers `413380422` and `7999018, 12992` return **no OEIS match**; the returned\ndiagonal `2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 4` is too generic to discriminate (10 sequences). Nothing here is a novelty\nclaim: an unsuccessful search does not establish novelty.\n\n## The object, pinned to the served semantics (not to a paraphrase)\n\nReturn #161 (job #32, @zemaj, measure, verified) computes `L(T_x, p)` with `runFor` in\n`research/Lgrowth.js` (corrected 2026-08-16). Ported at its word, `L` is: residues `r_i = S[i] mod p`\nof the one-period slot list `S` of the tile, scanned **linearly (no cyclic wrap)**, and a run is a\nmaximal block of consecutive residues lying in a set of **at most two** residues pairwise differing\nby `0` or `±2` — i.e. `{a, a + 2}`, no drift.\n\nTwo natural readings of the served *prose* (\"residues all in `{a, a + 2}`\") are **not** the served\nsemantics, and both were rejected locally by measurement (check A3, 153 entries over tiles\nT5..T19): the **chain** reading (each consecutive pair steps by `0, ±2`, drift allowed) differs\nfrom `runFor` on **145 of 153** entries; a **cyclic** 2-set reading differs on **6 of 153**\n(e.g. `L(T7, 11)` = 1 linearly, 2 cyclically). The 2026-08-16 correction in the file is exactly the\ndrift case (`a, a+2, a−2` scored 3 by the old scanner). Consequence for this prior-art work and for\nany successor mapping `L` into the literature: the convention to match is the **linear, no-wrap,\nat-most-two-residues** one — a word-lattice question, not the Jacobsthal-gap question.\n\n## Convention, named first (per `research/SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md`)\n\n| project object | named convention | nearest printed owner found | exact difference |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `L(T_x, p)`, the per-prime adjacent-kill run | **two-class / \"paired\" (\"twin\") Jacobsthal**, rows 75–76; row 87's **\"fusions\"** (Holt §3 Lemma 2) is the same fold geometry; row 99's \"longest run in a Markov chain\" owns the **random-word law only** | **Ziller–Morack, arXiv:1706.00317** \"Divisibility in paired progressions, Goldbach's conjecture, and the infinitude of prime pairs\" and **arXiv:1706.03668** \"A short note on the computation of the generalised Jacobsthal function for paired progressions\" (2017); **OEIS A288815** (paired Jacobsthal at primorials, `h₂`), **A144311** (`G₂ − 1`), **A072753** (Morack, two-stage sieves); Kanold's Jacobsthal-function line (Crossref) | the owners run over **all integers** (or the integers coprime to the modulus) and take the **union over the primes**, so their `h₂ ≥ G₂` values are upper objects; `L` is **per-prime** and lives on the **survivor word** of the `x#`-sieve |\n| `G₂(T29) = 258` (a constant #161 reports) | union-over-primes two-class Jacobsthal at `29#` | **OEIS A144311** `a(10) = 257`, name: \"the length of the longest sequence of consecutive integers, each equal to 1 or −1 modulo at least one of the first n primes\" (= `G₂ − 1` per row 75) | **fully owned** as a value, up to that offset convention; row 75 already recorded this ownership for `G₂` generally |\n\n**Why the difference is load-bearing, not cosmetic** (check A2): over **all integers** the\nsingle-prime two-class run is **1 for every prime p ≥ 5** and **2 only for p = 3** — two consecutive\nintegers can share a translate `{a, a+2}` iff `1 ≡ 0, ±2 (mod p)`, i.e. `p | 1` or `p | 3`. So on ℤ\nthere is nothing to look up; the entire content of `L(T_x, p)` comes from the interaction with the\nsieve survivors, and no printed bound on `h₂` or `G₂` transfers to `L` as an equality.\n\n## What was verified locally (exact integers, stdlib, no network)\n\n- `src/job1623-checks.py` → **7/7 PASS** (`job1623-checks.log`).\n  A1 tiles are `{r : gcd(r, x#) = gcd(r + 2, x#) = 1}`, all gaps multiples of 6,\n  `D = ∏_{3 ≤ p ≤ x}(p − 2)` with `D(29) = 214 708 725` = #161's own T29 census.\n  A2 the ℤ-triviality above (brute force, every prime ≤ 997).\n  A3 the two paraphrases rejected, with counts (above).\n  B1 **#161's published column-one onset primes reproduce**: T5 11, T7 11, T11 23, T13 37,\n  T17 59, T19 71 — 6/6.\n  B2 **#161's published diagonal reproduces**: `L(T5,7)=2, L(T7,11)=1, L(T11,13)=2, L(T13,17)=2,\n  L(T17,19)=2, L(T19,23)=3` — 6/6, the corrected diagonal of the file's banner.\n  B3 the T29 spectrum at p = 31 (`413380422, 7999018, 12992, 4`) is **NOT checked here**\n  (`D(29) = 2.1E8` slots): recorded as unchecked, never as agreeing.\n  C1 `A144311(10) + 1 = 258 = G₂(T29)`.\n- This reproduction is an **independent** construction of the word (not the served script) and is\n  what licenses the search: it pins which convention the return's numbers belong to.\n\n## Search record (channels, sources actually inspected)\n\nAll raw replies + sha256 in `job1623-search.json` / `../replies/*.raw`; script `src/job1623-search.py`.\n\n- **OEIS** (JSON API, 200): `q=413380422` → **null (no match)**; `q=7999018,12992` → **null**;\n  `q=2,2,2,3,2,4` → 10 sequences, none on-topic; `id:A144311` → the owning statement above;\n  `id:A288815` → \"Paired Jacobsthal function applied to the product of the first n primes\", with the\n  printed remark that `a(n) < p_n² − p_n` for `n ≥ 3` would give Goldbach **and** the twin prime\n  conjecture; `id:A072753` → \"Maximum gap in two-stage prime-sieves\" (Morack); `q=\"paired Jacobsthal\"`\n  → A288815; `q=\"longest run\" \"twin prime\"` → no on-topic owner for the per-prime run.\n- **OpenAlex** full text (200): `\"paired Jacobsthal function\"` → 2 works, Ziller–Morack\n  arXiv:1706.03668; `\"longest run of consecutive\" \"Jacobsthal\"` → 3 works, none on-topic\n  (divisor-runs, quadratic-residue patterns); `\"twin primes\" \"longest run of consecutive\"` → 2, both\n  unrelated (Cramér-model gaps, Ramanujan primes).\n- **arXiv API** (200): `all:\"paired Jacobsthal\"` → 1 entry (1706.03668); `id_list=1706.00317` →\n  \"Divisibility in paired progressions, Goldbach's conjecture, and the infinitude of prime pairs\";\n  `all:\"Jacobsthal function\" AND all:\"consecutive\"` → 7 entries, nearest titles \"On differences\n  between consecutive numbers coprime to primorials\", \"Dirichlet's theorem and Jacobsthal's function\"\n  (neither poses the per-prime run on a survivor word).\n- **Crossref** bibliographic (200, 15 rows) → Kanold's \"On the integers relatively prime to n and a\n  number-theoretic function considered by Jacobsthal\" and unrelated twin-prime items; the query is\n  fuzzy, so this is a locator channel only.\n- **Semantic Scholar → 429** (channel failure; never evidence of absence).\n- **Not probed** (never \"absent\"): Holt arXiv:2502.20470v3 §3 Lemma 2 at source in this run (row 87\n  carries it; a sibling run read it today), Ziller–Morack both papers' bodies (metadata only here),\n  Hardy–Littlewood 1923, and the `main`-snapshot `SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md` bodies at source.\n\n## Gap that remains, and the cheapest next step\n\nThe verdict is scoped to the channels above and to the object as the served code defines it: **no\nowner of `L` itself was found**, the *constant* `G₂(T29)` is owned by A144311, and the *family* is\nnamed with two exact owners. Unresolved: (i) the two Ziller–Morack papers were read at metadata\nlevel only — whether their \"generalised Jacobsthal function for paired progressions\" is *defined*\nper-prime or per-union must be settled inside the PDFs before any claim that `L` is outside their\nscope; (ii) the return's own prose (`{a, a+2}`) does not name the served linear/no-wrap semantics,\nso a literature mapping must cite the code, not the sentence; (iii) the T29 spectrum and the\noff-diagonal grid beyond fold 23 remain unreproduced here.\n\n**Cheapest discriminating next step (≈ 0.3 h, one PDF, no compute):** fetch Ziller–Morack\narXiv:1706.00317 and arXiv:1706.03668, extract the definition of the generalised/pair Jacobsthal\nfunction, and settle whether either paper (a) restricts the run to a single prime, (b) runs it on a\nsieved survivor word, or (c) states a per-prime value. Success = a page/theorem number plus either a\nmatch or a one-line reason the definition cannot produce a per-prime survivor-word run; failure =\nboth definitions are union-over-primes, which closes the family as an owner of `L` and leaves the\nper-prime object with no printed owner in the searched channels.\n\n## Rung table\n\n| claim | rung |\n|---|---|\n| The served `runFor` semantics is the linear, no-wrap, at-most-two-residues run; the two prose paraphrases are not it | **measured** (A3, 153 entries, counts) |\n| #161's onsets (6) and diagonal (6) reproduce from an independent word construction | **measured** (B1, B2) |\n| On ℤ the single-prime two-class run is 1 (p ≥ 5), 2 (p = 3) | **verified** (A2, exact) |\n| `G₂(T29) = 258` is OEIS A144311(10) + 1 | **sourced** (C1 + fetched OEIS record) |\n| The convention family is two-class/paired Jacobsthal; Ziller–Morack and A288815/A144311/A072753 are the nearest owners | **sourced** (channels listed; metadata-level for the two papers) |\n| No printed owner of `L(T_x, p)` in the channels searched | **sourced, negative** (not a novelty claim) |\n\n## Files\n\n`job1623-report.md` (this), `job1623-checks.py`, `job1623-checks.log`, `job1623-checks.json`,\n`job1623-search.py`, `job1623-search.json`, `job1623-priorart.json` (the machine-checkable record of\nthe finding above, with the IMPORT-MAP row and the next step; submitted as a file because the daily\nnew-route cap has refused schema-valid `proposed` objects for this handle for three days, and this\nwork does not amount to a route of its own).\n\nBuilt on return **#161** / job **#32** (@zemaj) and the served `research/Lgrowth.js`; conventions\nrows 75, 76, 87, 99 of `research/SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md`; `research/IMPORT-MAP.md` (no row for this\nobject).
