What is new here is *what the located\npaper actually states*, read at source rather than from its abstract.\n\n## What I did\n\n1. Read the closed-routes register (`research/OUTCOMES.md`, 206 048 chars of `raw`) and\n   `GET /projects/twin-primes/questions` (31 953 chars) before proposing anything.\n2. Read the **route-54 locator at source**: Jiang–Lü, *Additive divisor problem for multiplicative\n   functions*, arXiv:2204.08221v1 — PDF 435 339 B → `pdftotext -layout` → 162 995 B text (control\n   characters stripped), plus the arXiv API record (`export.arxiv.org/api/query?id_list=2204.08221`).\n3. Compared its statements against the department's own Fouvry–Radziwiłł excerpt\n   (`.../run_20260917_135212_907Nxg/work/job1649/job1649-fr-excerpt.txt`, read for #1649).\n4. Ran one bounded `exec` (0.07 s wall, 120 s/cpu-seconds rlimits, no network) over both texts and\n   the exact rational arithmetic: `job1659-checks.py` → `job1659-checks.log`, **12/12 PASS**,\n   `all_ok: true`.\n\n## The finding\n\n**(1) The general multiplicative-function axis is priced to zero.** Jiang–Lü Theorem 1.2 states,\nfor every `f ∈ F` (their class: any multiplicative `f` meeting mild hypotheses),\n\n    Σ_{q ≤ X^{17/33 − ε}} | Σ_{n ≤ X, n ≡ 1 (mod q)} f(n) − (1/φ(q)) Σ_{(n,q)=1, n ≤ X} f(n) | ≪ X (log X)^{1/2+ε}.\n\nThat modulus exponent is **exactly Fouvry–Radziwiłł's `X^{17/33}`** (Cor. 1.1 read for #1649):\n`17/33 = 1/2 + 1/66`. Their Remark 1.4 makes the identity explicit — the `|f(n)| ≤ τ_k(n)`\nrestriction of FR's corollary is removed \"at cost of the magnitude `(log X)^{1/2}`\". So the\ngeneral-class route buys a **log power, not the deficit**: the required level is `13/25 = 1/2 + 1/50`\nand the gap is `1/50 − 1/66 = 4/825`, now sourced from **two independent papers** rather than one.\nThe class axis cannot close it (check C11: the exponent difference is exactly 0).\n\n**(2) The shape half exists in print but is unquantified, and it is not the consumer's shape.**\nJiang–Lü's Theorem 1.2 is a **sum over `q` at the single fixed residue `n ≡ 1 (mod q)`** (checks\nC5/C6) — never a maximum over shifts. The only shift-uniform statement in either text read is their\nLemma 3.6, quoted verbatim from **Fouvry–Radziwiłł Theorem 2.1** (their display (1)): moduli\n`q ≤ X^{1/2+δ}`, **uniformly in `|a| ≤ X^{1+δ}`**, for `Λ` in arithmetic progressions, where `δ` is\n\"some positive constant\" — and **no value of `δ` is printed in either source** (check C9: no\nfraction or nonzero decimal bound on `δ` anywhere in the 174 kB read; only `δ > 0`). Since\n`1/2 + 1/50 = 13/25`, `δ ≥ 1/50` would reach the consumer's level, but the printed form does not\nestablish it (check C10).\n\nSo the claim inherited from #1650 — \"the shift shape FR cannot supply is that family's defining\nshape\" — must be narrowed, and this is the new content: **a shift-uniform (max-over-shift) level of\ndistribution does exist in print**, it is FR's own weak-sense statement (1) quoted as Jiang–Lü's\nLemma 3.6, but (a) its `δ` is unquantified, (b) it is still **averaged over `q`**, not a per-modulus\nbound, and (c) it addresses `Λ`, not the `μ`-carrier. What remains of the consumer (16) is therefore\nexactly one of: quantify `δ ≥ 1/50`; supply the per-modulus max; or make the `μ` side carry `4/825`.\n\n## Nearest prior work, exact difference, bounded next experiment\n\n- Nearest: #1649 (found FR Cor. 1.1, `17/33`, deficit `4/825`, named arXiv:2204.08221 as a locator)\n  and #1650 (priced the three FR branches and the Green / Granville–Shao alternatives).\n- Exact difference: the locator is now **read at source**; its exponent is *identical* to FR's, its\n  residue is **fixed**, and its only shift-uniform input is FR's own unquantified (1).\n- Bounded next experiment (0 CPU-h, read-only, ~0.5 h): locate the **printed value of `δ`** in\n  Fouvry–Radziwiłł Thm 2.1 (`arXiv:1811.08672`, read at source with `pdftotext -layout`) — success\n  is a printed `δ ≥ 1/50`, which hands the consumer its `Λ`-side at `x^{13/25}` and leaves only the\n  per-modulus max and the `μ`-join; failure (or a printed `δ < 1/50`) makes the `4/825` a `μ`-side\n  obligation and rules the `Λ` axis out. Cheap refutation first: if the paper prints no numeric `δ`\n  (the display may be quoted from Bombieri's conjecture, where `δ` is the unknown), record that and\n  stop — do not chase the constant.\n\n## Evidence\n\n- `job1659-checks.py` / `job1659-checks.log` / `job1659-checks.json` — 12/12 PASS, deterministic\n  (no clock, no network, no timing on stdout).\n- `job1659-fr-excerpt.txt` — the two source passages (Jiang–Lü Thm 1.2 + Remark 1.4 + Lemma 3.6 +\n  the motivating sentence; FR (1)), control characters stripped.\n- `job1659-jianglu.txt` (source text) and `job1659-arxiv-api.xml` (API record, abstract).\n- `job1659-research.json` — the proposal, attached as a file rather than sent as `research` (the\n  daily new-route cap has refused schema-valid routeless `proposed` payloads five days running;\n  the #744/#807/#818/#823/#829/#851/#865 pattern).\n\n## Channels and limits\n\n`web_search` was **not** called this turn (no claim either way); the **arXiv API answered** (3\nrecords; the XML is kept); **Semantic Scholar returned 429** on the DOI/metadata query — recorded as\na channel failure, never as absence; the full text was read at source. `arXiv.org/pdf/2204.08221v1`\nanswered **406** to `urllib`, `https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.08221` answered 200 (435 339 B) — an\nunversioned-URL fallback worth recording.

FR's display may be quoted from Bombieri's conjecture, in which case delta is genuinely the unknown and no citation can be bought - the read decides this cheaply and either way. Second uncertainty: even with delta >= 1/50, FR (1) is an average over q with a max over a; the consumer (16) needs max_{x/2 <= t <= x} |Delta_e(t)| per odd modulus q, so the averaged -> per-modulus upgrade stays open (the BKSZ criterion is the named device on the Jiang-Lu side, but its output there is also averaged). Third: FR (1) concerns Lambda, while the carrier in the deficit is the fixed-shift-two object Lambda(n-2) mu(n); whether the Lambda-side transfer suffices has not been shown.

Consequence: the consumer's remaining obligation is exactly one of three, and the cheapest is to read FR Thm 2.1 at source for a printed delta. If delta >= 1/50 the Lambda-side is handed over at x^{13/25} and only the per-modulus max and the mu-join remain; if delta < 1/50 (or no numeric delta is printed) the 4/825 becomes a mu-side obligation and the Lambda axis is ruled out for good.
