Every claim is\ntied to a served document, a cited return, or the exact-rational check script below. Nothing here is\na twin-prime result.\n\n## What was asked, and what was actually decided\n\nJob #1626 (return #833, run `run_20260917_102624_lTqnaw`) pre-registered a falsifier and never\nevaluated it:\n\n> if the route's own cost term `C(w)` (the `3*kappa/2` r-size residue) has `|dC/dw| >= 1`, the\n> one-for-one gain is fully consumed and the split axis closes with zero compute and no consumption\n> proof.\n\nThis job evaluates it. **Verdict: the criterion is NOT met in the register's own priced accounting\n(`dC/dw = 0` there, and the term has infimum 0), so the split axis is not closed by cost.** The\naxis is instead hinged on one locatable sentence and one unprinted premise, both stated below.\n\n### Where the `3*kappa/2` term actually comes from (sourced, read in the local `main` snapshot)\n\nThe only `3 kappa/2` in this campaign's own accounting is the **Bettin–Chandee pricing** in\n`research/OUTCOMES.md` §\"Determinant-corollary — Bettin-Chandee Corollary 1 applied directly to\ndk-et=2\":\n\n- the error term is `x^((17/20)(A+B) + max(A,B)/4 + 3kappa/2)` with `A=delta+rho`, `B=nu+zeta`;\n- the same register says the sharp interval is \"separated by Perron at **height x^kappa** with eta of\n  order `x^kappa`\", so `3kappa/2` is the `(eta R)^{3/2}` factor of Corollary 1 (`R=O(1)`,\n  `research/determinant-corollary.md` §3, equation (7)) with **κ the Perron height**, not an r-range\n  or support-split exponent;\n- and the register itself disposes of it: \"**Since kappa>0 is fixed but arbitrarily small**, the\n  sufficient condition … is (8)\": `22 max(A,B) + 17 min(A,B) < 20`.\n\nSo `C(kappa) = 3 kappa/2` has infimum `0` over the admissible κ and carries **no `w`**; the priced\ncost cannot close the split axis. This also corrects the file-level phrasing carried in\n`research/notes/N-1530-01-…md` §\"first named input\" (\"the `3 kappa/2` term the route quotes is the\nr-size split residue\"): in the register it is the Perron/smoothness term, quoted at source in\n`determinant-corollary.md` §3.\n\n### The gain, re-derived exactly (rung: `verified`, exact rationals)\n\n`T(w) = 1 - w` (the served cap `19/25` is its `w = 6/25` instance, `research/residual-coverage.md`\n(11)) and the right budget parameterises as `J_R = (1 + theta + w)/2` ((12) printed `31/50 + theta/2`,\nthe `w = 6/25` instance). Hence `J_R < 1 <=> theta < 1 - w`, and the gain over the served split is\n\n```\nG(w) = T(w) - T(6/25) = 6/25 - w          (dG/dw = -1)\n```\n\nreproducing return #833's table: `G(21/100)=3/100`, `G(1/5)=1/25`, `G(1/8)=23/200`,\n`G(1/10)=7/50`.\n\n### The adverse reading, pre-registered and priced (rung: `design`, NOT derived)\n\nIf the Perron separation of (7) forced the smoothness ceiling `kappa <= w` (i.e. κ pinned to the box\nsize — **no served source prints this**, and neither (7), (8) nor (11)–(16) makes κ a function of\n`w`), then `C(w) = 3w/2`, `dC/dw = 3/2 >= 1`, and the #1626 criterion fires:\n\n```\nnet(w) = G(w) - C(w) = 6/25 - 5w/2        break-even exactly w* = 12/125 = 0.096\n```\n\nAt `w*` gain = cost = `18/125`. Under this reading the record's own candidate splits are\n**net-negative**: `net(1/5) = -13/50`, `net(1/8) = -29/400`; `net(1/16) = +67/800` is safe. The two\nreadings therefore give **opposite verdicts at exactly the splits the record proposes**, on a\nquestion that is a citation, not an experiment.\n\n## Checks\n\n`work/job1628/src/job1628-checks.py` (sha256 `a805b00a…e14ad58`), stdlib only, exact `Fraction`\narithmetic, no network: **12/12 PASS**, exit 0 (`job1628-checks.log`, sha256 `6fb91815…af60f1e2`).\nTwo of my own failing runs are kept (`job1628-checks.fail1.log`, `fail2.log`): the first used\n`T(6/25) - w` instead of `T(w) - T(6/25)` (a wrong gain base), the second had a sign slip in an\nassertion. Covered: served-cap identity; printed `31/50` reproduced; `J_R<1 <=> theta<1-w` on 12\npairs; one-for-one gain; the #833 table; free-reading cost infimum 0 and no `w`; adverse break-even\n`12/125` bracketed from both sides; the record's splits fail the adverse reading; a safe point\n`1/16`; two negative controls (the verdicts differ at `w=1/5`; the decision rule differs, `0<1` vs\n`3/2>=1`).\n\n## The gap that remains (unresolved obligations, not conclusions)\n\n1. **The register's own \"adds nothing\" sentence is about the other split, or it is w-conditioned.**\n   It reads: \"Since every band budget … is nondecreasing in rho and zeta, an r-size split covers a\n   box iff the top band does, so the split region equals the current region.\" Section (11)'s cap\n   `delta+nu<19/25` is the `w = 6/25` instance of `1-w`, so a support split at `w<6/25` does move the\n   uniform product threshold (exact above). Both sentences can be true only if the register's\n   \"r-size split\" is the moved-prime-power size `r <= V`, a different split object from the\n   `U=V=x^w, Y=Z=x^y` support split. **Which object it is has not been established.**\n2. **Is κ pinned to the box size anywhere in the Perron derivation of (7)?** This is the pivot of\n   the whole axis and is unprinted in every served source checked.\n3. **Consumption.** Even with the axis open, nothing served shows a smaller split yields a larger\n   *controlled signed* residual; the register's own warning (\"a smaller summation domain does not\n   imply monotonicity of its signed value\") stands.\n4. The census cannot settle it: return #165's extreme `|D_y|/x = 0.039617` is 4.04x inside the\n   `4/25` threshold (`research/notes/N-1627-01-…md`), so no measurement at reachable scales\n   discriminates.\n\n## Rungs\n\n| claim | rung |\n|---|---|\n| gain `G(w)=6/25-w`, `J_R=(1+theta+w)/2`, break-even `12/125`, the #833 table | **verified** (exact rationals, 12/12, script hash above) |\n| `3kappa/2` is the Perron/smoothness term of BC Cor. 1 and the register sends κ→0 | **sourced** (quoted from the served snapshot: `OUTCOMES.md` register, `determinant-corollary.md` §3) |\n| the adverse coupling `kappa <= w` (the only reading that closes the axis) | **design** — pre-registered, *not* derived, no served source prints it |\n| twin-prime exponent, novelty, consumption | **not claimed** |\n\n## Cheapest next experiment (the proposed route's first step)\n\n**Read, 0.5 h, read-only, 0 CPU-h:** parameterise `residual-coverage.md` (11)–(16) and\n`grouped-divisor-moment.md` §4 in `w` at the boxes the record already uses (`6/25, 1/5, 1/8, 1/16`)\nand locate the *derivations* of the two printed constants `31/50` and `77/200`. **Refutation that\ncloses the axis at the source:** any budget whose printed `w`-form satisfies `|d(budget)/dw| >= 1`\n(the #1626 criterion). **Confirmation that keeps it open:** both constants are the `w`-free\ninstances of forms in which `w` enters only through `(1+w)/2`, and no step in the Perron derivation\nties κ to the split's box size.","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"heuristic","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-17T09:04:16.079Z","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_a4e50fad6220faafa77c942c","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.
