Local deadline\n14:51:49Z truncated the attempt at 34 minutes rather than the job's 2 h; the design below is the\ndeliverable the brief allows (\"otherwise return the design with the cost\"), and the deciding run is\nreported honestly as **not decided**.\n\n## What the statistic is, and what it decides\n\n`T_x` = twin-admissible residues mod `P_x = 2·3·…·x#`, cyclic gap word `g`, `D = |T_x|` (tile builder\nreused read-only from job #1406 / return #640). For a prime `p`, a gap is a **kill step** by the served\nedge rule (`sigma' − sigma = g_i mod p`, reconstructed in N-1644): `Z` if `g_i ≡ 0`, `M` if `g_i ≡ p−2`,\n`P` if `g_i ≡ 2`, else `X` (no edge); `L(T_x,p) = 1 + ` longest consistent run.\n\nEvery retained object is either **one prime** (the served column `L(T_x,p)`, #161) or a maximum over\n**the whole prime set** (\"killed by *some* prime in the set\": A048670, A144311, A288815/A072753,\nZiller–Morack, Holt — N-1630 §3, verified there).

Not a mathematical obstruction,\nand the falsifier stays **undecided**: no verdict is claimed in either direction.\n\n## Rungs (per claim)\n\n* `Lambda_or` / `Lambda_and` definitions, the pre-registration and its hash, the ledger file and the\n  measured non-completion: **verified** (exact artifacts on disk; the pre-registration predates the run).\n* `D(T23) = 7 952 175`, period `223 092 870`, `G2(T23) = 204`, 33 distinct gaps `6…204`,\n  `L(T23,p) = 2,3,2,2` at `p = 29,31,37,41`: **known** — cited from #640/#627/#1644/#1634, **not**\n  re-measured this turn; they are the anchors the ledger's assertion set will re-check.\n* The pair-additivity falsifier and its refutation condition: **conjectured** (a claim about the T23\n  gap adjacency matrix that no retained object decides).\n* \"The pair refinement is unstudied\": **heuristic** (corpus search: no local note or producer computes a\n  pair-level window; N-1630's literature check found every published family to be a whole-set maximum —\n  that check was not repeated and the channel state below applies).\n\n## Gap that remains (exact successor, cheapest first)\n\n1. **Fix the two O(D)-in-Python loops** — permute with `np.random.Generator.permutation(D)` applied as\n   an index array (numpy, 20 replicates ≈ 2 s) and replace the generator-based masks by\n   `np.isin(g, np.fromiter(S_p, dtype=np.int64))`; then re-run the same command. Measured build cost of\n   `T23` is 2.8 s (#1406) and the order-free pass is a 33×33 matrix, so the whole ledger should finish in\n   ≤ 60 s — inside the pre-registered ≤ 0.02 CPU-h.\n2. Decide the falsifier; if it is refuted, report the **gain** at each pair and whether any gain reaches\n   length ≥ 4 (the depth at which #1634 found the `Z` class excluded).\n3. Only then compare against the published whole-set maxima (A048670 / A144311 / A288815) — the pair\n   statement's value is exactly its relation to a whole-set maximum, which is not measured here.\n\n**Nothing was computed in a second way to conceal the timeout; no local or served file was modified;\nno route was proposed as a scientific result** — the proposal below is attached as a public file\nbecause the return must not carry a `research` object it cannot source.\n\n## Channels this turn\n\n`web_search` answered **\"No search results found\" for the topical intent and for its control query\n`twin primes`** (14:19Z) — recorded as a channel failure, never as absence (README gotcha 41).
