Solving (i) for `Q` gives\n`Q ≤ (x^{17/36}/N)^{12/11}`, i.e. at the tiny end `N ≤ x^ε` **`Q ≤ x^{17/33} = x^{1/2+1/66}`** — the\nabstract's printed level. What matters for this project is the *admissibility of α*: the arbitrary\nfactor carries only `|α_m| ≤ τ_k(m)`, so **`μ` is admissible as α** — the bounded sequence is the\n*tiny Siegel–Walfisz* factor β, and #1627's \"no citation can be bought\" is now answerable: a citation\nexists for a Möbius-class unbalanced convolution at a printed level above the square root.\n\nExact arithmetic (proven locally, 12/12):\n\n| quantity | value | source |\n|---|---|---|\n| required level (served split `y = ceil(x^{12/25})`) | `Q ~ x^(13/25)`, saving `δ_req = 1/50` | #165 / N-1627-01, re-derived here |\n| best published level found | `Q ≤ x^(17/33) = x^(1/2+1/66)`, saving `1/66` | FR Cor. 1.1(i), printed p. 3 |\n| **deficit** | `δ_req − δ_FR = 1/50 − 1/66 = 4/825 ≈ 0.004848` | C4 |\n| required/published in `Q` | `x^(4/825)`, ratio `33/25` | C4 |\n| FR branches (ii)/(iii) | `Q ≤ x^(53/105)`, saving `1/210 ≈ 0.00476`, caps `N ≤ x^{7/90}`, `x^{101/630}` | C3 |\n| FR Theorem 1.2 (prime moduli, no S–W) | at `Q = X^{1/2}` only `N ≤ X^{1/72-ε}`, i.e. saving `0` | C5 |\n\nSo the published level is short **in size** by `4/825` and short **in shape** in two further respects\n(both read off the printed statement): FR is an *averaged dispersion* over `Q ≤ q ≤ 2Q` at a fixed\nresidue `a` with a `1/φ(q)` projection, while the consumer's (13) needs `max_{x/2≤t≤x}|Δ_e(t)|` at\n**each odd modulus** `e ≤ Q`; and FR convolves **products `mn`**, while the consumer's object is the\n**fixed shift two** `Λ(n-2)μ(n)` (minus the `φ(e)^{-1}` projection). Neither mismatch is removed by\nimproving `4/825`.\n\n## The route proposed (see `research.proposal` in `job1649-research.json`)\n\n**Attach the Möbius carrier to a tiny Siegel–Walfisz factor.** Object: the open consumer\n`D_y(x) ≥ −(4/25)x + o(x)` reached through `|D_y| ≤ 2Σ_{e≤Q, e odd} log(x/e) max_{x/2≤t≤x}|Δ_e(t)|` with\n`Q ~ x^{13/25}`. Step that must hold: (a) the shift-two object is first converted into an unbalanced\nmultiplicative convolution whose *tiny* factor is Siegel–Walfisz at scale `exp((log x)^ε)` — FR give the\nlevel only in that regime, and the larger-`N` branches pay by capping `Q` at `x^{53/105}`; (b) the\naveraged dispersion statement is upgraded to the per-modulus max-inside form; (c) the level deficit\n`4/825` is closed. **First cheap refutation (0.5 h, read-only, 0 CPU-h):** if (a) has no route — the\nproject's object indexes one `n` with a fixed shift two, and no step in the served record converts it\nto `Σ_{mn} α_m β_n` — then the route dies at the source at zero cost; likewise if (b) is required and\nunavailable, the mismatch is shape, not size. **Second named step:** whether the newer Kloosterman-fraction\nimprovement (**arXiv:2601.00292v2**: balanced bilinear saving over DFI from `1/48` to `1/12`, read at\nabstract level only this turn) propagates into this level of distribution — a bilinear-form saving is\nnot by itself a level, and FR's `1/66` already rests on Bettin–Chandee/DFI (printed §1–2), so the\npropagation is a separate obligation, not an automatic one. **Cost:** 0.5 h read (0 CPU-h) for the\nrefutation; 2–4 h and ~1 CPU-h only if the shape check passes.\n\n## Rung of each claim\n\n- `proven` — the exponent ledger (C1–C6): served split partition, FR branch exponents re-derived from\n  the printed hypothesis (i), the `4/825` deficit, `1/210` for branches (ii)/(iii), `1/72` for\n  Theorem 1.2 at `Q = X^{1/2}`.

Job #1640/#1648 (return #853/#860) searched the explicit-certificate side of return #101 for a sub-2 certificate and found the closest published result different in kind; this return stays on the level-of-distribution axis and does not touch that certificate. arXiv:2601.00292v2 (bilinear forms with Kloosterman fractions; balanced saving 1/48 -> 1/12 over DFI) is the newest input in the same technical family FR use, but a bilinear-form saving is not a level of distribution, and that propagation is an obligation here, not a match.

Only the abstract, Corollary 1.1 and Theorems 1.1-1.2 of FR were read (pdftotext of arXiv:1811.08672v1), not the proof, so the compatibility of its Bettin-Chandee/DFI inputs with a max-inside reading is unverified. The 1/12 vs 1/48 comparison for arXiv:2601.00292v2 comes from that paper's abstract, whose LaTeX percent escape the API renders ambiguously; it is a pointer only. No novelty claim is made: FR is a published 2018 theorem and the deficit computed here is arithmetic on its printed exponents, not a new bound. The arXiv channel searched two Moebius-specific query shapes and returned 0 entries while the control returned 8; a zero-entry result is a channel outcome and never evidence of absence, and web_search was a channel failure this turn (including its control query).","contribution_md":"The centred consumer (16), D_y(x) >= -(4/25)x + o(x), is reached through |D_y| <= 2*sum_{e<=Q, e odd} log(x/e)*max_{x/2<=t<=x}|Delta_e(t)| with the served split y = ceil(x^(12/25)), Q = floor(x/y) ~ x^(13/25), so the carrier must deliver a saving over the square root of 1/50 = 13/25 - 1/2 (return #165 as quantified by job #1627 / note N-1627-01).

Radziwill, 'Level of distribution of unbalanced convolutions', arXiv:1811.08672v1 (2018), Corollary 1.1 (printed p. 3) proves a dispersion estimate for a multiplicative convolution over products x < mn <= 2x with |alpha_m| <= tau_k(m), |beta_n| <= tau_k(n), beta Siegel-Walfisz: Q <= (x^(17/36)/N)^(12/11) under hypothesis (i), i.e. Q <= x^(17/33) = x^(1/2+1/66) at the tiny end N <= x^eps; branches (ii)/(iii) cap Q at x^(53/105) = x^(1/2+1/210). The load-bearing observation for this project is that the arbitrary factor only needs |alpha_m| <= tau_k(m), so mu is admissible as alpha; the Siegel-Walfisz demand falls on the tiny factor beta, supported on exp((log x)^eps) integers. Exact rational arithmetic (12/12 checks, src/job1649-checks.py) then gives: (1) the required level exceeds the published one by x^(4/825) in Q, i.e. delta_req - delta_FR = 1/50 - 1/66 = 4/825 = 0.004848..., and the ratio in Q is 33/25; (2) every branch is short, since 1/210 < 1/66 < 1/50; (3) the no-Siegel-Walfisz prime-modulus variant (Theorem 1.2, printed p. 8) reaches only Q = X^(1/2) at N <= X^(1/72-eps), a saving of 0. Two shape conditions, read off the printed statement, are independent of the size of 4/825 and must be changed for the consumer: FR averages over Q <= q <= 2Q at a fixed residue a with a phi(q)^-1 projection, whereas (13) needs max over t inside the cutoff at each odd modulus e; and FR convolves products mn, whereas the project's object is the fixed shift two Lambda(n-2)mu(n) minus the phi(e)^-1 projection.
