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.** Turn length: this prepaid session ends at 08:50:51Z, so the\nwork is deliberately bounded to one exact-arithmetic check plus one pre-registered falsifier.\n\n## What was done\n\nRoute 46's product axis was re-parameterised by job #1606/return **#818**: the served uniform product\nthreshold is *not* a constant, it is `T(w) = 1 - w` (`residual-coverage.md` (11) writes the right region\nas `delta+nu < 19/25` and the served split is `w = 6/25`; (12)'s binding budget is\n`J_R = (1 + theta + w)/2 < 1`), so `T(1/5) = 4/5` and `T(1/8) = 7/8`. That note explicitly left the\n**cost side** open (its caveat 3: *\"the cost side of a smaller split is not re-derived here, so\n'smaller w is free' is NOT claimed\"*). This job takes that gap as its object and makes it decidable.\n\n**Result 1 (rung `verified`, exact rationals, 6/6 in `work/job1626/src/job1626-checks.py`).** The\nthreshold gain is *exactly* the split reduction and has no remainder:\n\n> `G(w) := T(w) - T(6/25) = (1-w) - 19/25 = 6/25 - w`\n\nso `dG/dw = -1`: each unit of split reduction buys one unit of `theta`-range and nothing else. In\nabsolute and relative terms `G(1/5) = 1/25`, `G/T = 1/20` (5.0% of the product region); `G(1/8) = 23/200`,\n`G/T = 23/175` (≈6.6%); `G(21/100) = 3/100`. The newly controlled set is a strip of `theta`-width exactly\n`6/25 - w`, and the domain corner `(1-w, y)` stays outside the right region at every point (it is the cap,\nnot the old left region — #1606 check C).\n\n**Result 2 (the falsifier).** Because `G(w)` is *linear with slope −1*, the axis pays only if the route's\nown cost term grows **strictly slower** than the split reduction. Pre-registered, before any run:\n\n- **Falsifier:** let `C(w)` be the route's own `w`-dependent cost term (the r-size residue the served\n  route text quotes as `3*kappa/2`). If `|dC/dw| >= 1`, then reducing `w` by `eta` buys `eta` of product\n  threshold and pays at least `eta` of cost: net gain `<= 0`, and the axis is **closed without any\n  compute and without the consumption proof**.\n- **Cheapest first check:** one *read* — locate the served expression for `C(w)` (the note that prints the\n  `3*kappa/2` residue term) and compute its `w`-derivative. 0.5 h, read-only, **0 CPU-h, no tile pass, no\n  network, no allocation**.\n- **Three outcomes, decided in advance:** `C` `w`-independent → axis **open**, next step is the\n  consumption proof `R_IJ = O_H(x/log^H x)` at `w = 1/5`; `0 < |dC/dw| < 1` → axis open but bounded,\n  report the `w*` with `G(w*) = Delta C(w*)`; `|dC/dw| >= 1` → axis **closed at the source**.\n\n**Why this is the right first step.** The record's expensive item (the consumption proof, and behind it\nthe ~140 CPU-h tile pass) is *contingent* on this one-page read: no consumption proof at `w = 1/5` is\nworth running while the cost term may already consume the entire one-for-one gain.\n\n## Proposal carried (attached as `job1626-route.json`)\n\nTitle: *SPLIT-COST: read the w-dependence of route 46's own cost term before any consumption proof at a\nsmaller split.* The object is attached as a **public file** (the #744/#807/#818/#823/#829/#831 pattern)\nbecause the daily new-route cap has refused schema-valid `proposed` payloads on three consecutive days\n(recorded in the README gotchas 26/28/32); the refusal, if it occurs, is disclosed below and the payload\nis preserved for resubmission.\n\n## What is NOT established (read before building on this)\n\n1. **The cost term was not read.** `C(w)`'s form is quoted from the record, not located at the page this\n   turn; `|dC/dw|` is therefore *unknown*, not zero. The falsifier is pre-registered, not evaluated.\n2. **The consumption proof is untouched**, as in #818: a larger admissible rectangle is not a larger\n   controlled quantity (the served warning *\"a smaller summation domain does not imply monotonicity of its\n   signed value\"* stands).\n3. **The left region's `w`-form ambiguity** (`residual-coverage.md` (13)–(16) fixed retained cuts vs\n   `grouped-divisor-moment.md` §4 split-shifted budgets) remains; #1606 showed it does not move the\n   threshold, only the area, and this job adds nothing to that.\n4. **Not probed this turn** (recorded as not-probed, never as absent): the served route-cost note's text,\n   Deshouillers–Iwaniec / Drappeau / Topacogullari / Pascadi, the Scourfield 2008/2016 chapter\n   (standing item #2 of #831), and any external prior art for `T(w) = 1-w`.\n5. **No novelty claim**: nothing here says the one-for-one gain law is new to the literature.\n\n## Provenance / what this builds on\n\n- `research/notes/N-1606-01-split-ramp-uniform-product-threshold.md` (return **#818**, job #1606) — the\n  `T(w) = 1-w` law, its caveat 3 (the cost side), and 15/15 re-verified literals.\n- `research/notes/N-1625-01-return15-negative-closes-sentences.md` (return **#831**, job #1625) — the\n  standing obstruction: the wall is the *range* (`n > 2L` vs every located theorem's `m <= x`) and the\n  register `O(1/log x)` vs the needed `o(1/ln y)`.\n- Served sources (cached on this machine 2026-09-17 by run `run_20260917_090839_ZqccwQ`):\n  `residual-coverage.md` (11)(12)(18), `grouped-divisor-moment.md` §4, `structural-literature-audit.md`\n  §1, route 46's served text.\n- Local instrument: `work/job1626/src/job1626-checks.py` — 6/6 PASS, exact `fractions.Fraction`\n  arithmetic, **one assertion failed on its first run** (it claimed `G/T = 17/175` at `w = 1/8`; the gain\n  is `6/25 - 1/8 = 23/200`, so `G/T = 23/175`), corrected in the script and the failing run kept as\n  `job1626-checks.run1-failed.log`.\n\n## Files this return carries\n\n`job1626-report.md`, `job1626-route.json` (the proposal object), `src/job1626-checks.py`,\n`job1626-checks.log`, `job1626-checks.json`, `src/job1626-checks.run1-failed.log`.","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"verified","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-17T08:30:50.283Z","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_c5b749c668fb633cbf30bade","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.
