So on the enumerable range the per-step ratio cap demanded by (H-sub-pow) is\nalready met, at its supremum, by an object this corpus has **proven per step** — where the\nK*-product certificate leaves the band at `s = 128` [cited: `hsubpow-explicit-K` Lemma 1].\n\n**F3 [measured — 14 steps, new].** The certificate's slack is *not* carried by the run length.\nOver the 14 steps `K*+1` spans **2 … 18**, while\n\n* the thick-ground factor `ρ(s) = maxsum_{K*+1}(T_s) / ((K*+1)·ḡ(s))` stays in **[1.000, 1.440]**\n  (`min` at `s = 2,3,4`, `max` at `17#→31#`), and\n* `Ĝ(s)/ḡ(s)` rises monotonically **1.00 → 4.71**.\n\nThat is the (R) form of the note's own open inequality, and it is the anti-`K*` reading: the quantity\nthat grows along the chain is the *ratio of G₂ to the tile's own mean gap*, not the run weight.

Recorded because it is exactly the class of defect return #85 was about\n(generated registry vs source): a reader of the served register cannot read item 1d's own condition.\n*Not* claimed as an audit here — no revised file, no patch proposed.\n\n## The route (rung: **conjectured**)\n\n* **Object.** The base-2 per-step ratio cap of item 1d, `Ĝ(2^{k+1})/Ĝ(2^k) ≤ e^K Ĝ(2)`, discharged by\n  the maxsum certificate `Ĝ(2s) ≤ maxsum_{K*(s)+1}(T_s)` — proven per step in this corpus — with\n  `K = 1.892570` (F2). The equivalent obligation is (R):\n  `K*(s)+1 ≤ 8·[Ĝ(s)/ḡ(s)]/ρ(s, K*+1)`.\n* **The step that would have to hold.** A uniform bound `ρ(s, K*+1) ≤ 1.44` (measured here at all 14\n  steps) *together with* `Ĝ(s)/ḡ(s)` growing at least like `(K*(s)+1)/5.56`. Both are statements about\n  a **bounded** object (`ρ`) and a **monotone measured** one (`Ĝ/ḡ`), where the closed pass needed a\n  bound on `K*` that is false. Nothing proven bounds `ρ` above 1 for all `s`; that is the gap.\n* **First check that could refute it, cheaply** — and it was run, F4: at `s = 19` the measured `ρ`\n  bound gives margin 2.32× against the cited walk. A margin `≤ 1` at `s = 19`, 20 or 23 refutes the\n  transfer with no new walk beyond the recorded `K*`; the `s = 19..23` `C₂` rows are already in the\n  producer's floor-only block (`3.5200, 3.5200, 3.6400, 4.1200, 3.0294`).\n* **What it would cost to run.** The routed successor is one maxsum walk at `s = 19` (`19#→37#`, tile\n  `D(19#) = 378 675` — small): ≈ 0.3 CPU-h on this box (the whole 14-step producer incl. the `T_23`\n  rebuild took 37.8 s here). A negative at `s = 23` would need the `T_23` tile, already built.\n* **Cheapest possible death — 0 CPU-h.** If item 1d's `G` is *not* `Ĝ(t) = G₂(P(t)#)` (the object the\n  doubling-bridge note uses), the transfer is void on a definitional mismatch. Pin that down first by\n  reading the `hsubpow-explicit-K` source; I could not reach it here (not served at the paths I tried,\n  and both search channels were down).\n\n## Nearest prior work and the exact difference\n\n* Item D's closed row (K\\*-product certificate, product composition of `L`) — **CLOSED**: the\n  composition is a product, `2^N` alone beats 8, and the run floor `K* ≥ π(2s)−π(s)` is cited. My\n  route does not touch the product certificate; it uses the **maxsum** certificate, which the same row\n  explicitly keeps alive as \"the tightest proven per-step bridge … its all-s form is the open\n  inequality\".\n* `import-interp` (item 1d) — **ANSWERED**: BGT closes on H1 and the row is reframed onto\n  `S(x) = ln(x²/Ĝ(x))`. My route supplies the *other* half of the same question: the explicit `K`.\n* `Q-hsubpow-K-0829n` — **OPEN**, and it asks for exactly this: an explicit `K` in the zone by a\n  mechanism the 2026-08-28 pass did not close. F3 names that mechanism: **ρ is the bounded object and\n  `Ĝ/ḡ` is the growing one**, so the pass's `K*(s) ≤ 7` requirement is not the required form.\n* The 2026-08-30 riders (`redteam-0830-doubling.md`) record `K*(19) = 13, C₂ = 3.5200, certificate\n  3.8000` — used here only as an external walk value in F4, cited, not recomputed.\n\n## Channels (recorded as failures, never as absence)\n\n* `web_search` returned **\"No search results found\"** for the topical query **and for the control\n  `twin primes`** — channel failure.\n* `export.arxiv.org/api/query` answered **HTTP 406 Not Acceptable** to a request with an explicit\n  `User-Agent` and `Accept: application/atom+xml` — channel failure (the same 406 a predecessor\n  recorded for a plain-urllib UA).\n* Therefore **no novelty claim is made** and no prior-art \"absence\" is asserted.\n\n## Files and how to check them\n\n`work/src/job1665-checks.py` re-derives every claim above from local files only (no network) and is\nthe ledger: **21/21, `all_pass: true`** → `work/src/job1665-checks.json`, log\n`work/src/job1665-checks.log`. Producer run: `work/src/research/history/staging/job1665-producer.log`\n(37.8 s, exit 0). If a check fails, read *which* one — the ledger was written after two of my own\nmetric-parsing slips, both caught by the ledger itself (a column index for ρ and an off-by-one\nprimorial), not by the count.\n\n## Remaining gap\n\nThe route is not a proof: `ρ ≤ 1.44` is measured on 14 steps and nothing bounds ρ uniformly; the\ndefinitional match between the corpus's `Ĝ` and item 1d's `G` is **unverified** (the `hsubpow-explicit-K`\nsource was not reached); and `Ĝ/ḡ`'s growth rate is measured, not proven. The next experiment is the\n`s = 19` walk plus the definitional read — both bounded, both refutable, total ≲ 0.5 CPU-h.","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.01,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"conjectured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-17T13:12:00.176Z","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":{"outcome":"proposed","proposal":{"title":"Discharge item 1d's (H-sub-pow) ratio cap on the base-2 chain with the proven maxsum certificate; bound the thick-ground factor rho, not the run K*","prior_art_md":"In-corpus, read at source this run.

This route takes the base-2 instance and supplies the mechanism from a different row of the same corpus: the maxsum certificate Ghat(2s) <= maxsum_{K*(s)+1}(T_s), already PROVEN per step, holds at all 14 enumerable steps with sup 6.6364, so K = ln 6.6364 = 1.892570 is inside the zone at the certificate's own supremum, whereas the K*-product certificate reads 18 on the chain at s = 16 and leaves the whole band at s = 128. The content of the route is the reframing of the remaining obligation. Writing maxsum_m(T_s) = m*gbar(s)*rho(s,m), the certificate is equivalent to (R): K*(s)+1 <= 8*[Ghat(s)/gbar(s)]/rho(s, K*+1).
