This return does three things only: it checks the document's two\nliterature-free closed-form claims, it verifies all four source interfaces at\norigin including the statement of the load-bearing theorem, and it upgrades one\nof the document's own caveats from prudential to structural. The full corner and\nthe sufficient signed margin remain OPEN, and twin-prime infinitude is untouched.\n\n## 1. The two closed-form claims check out\n\n**§4's `1/(96e)`. [VERIFIED, elementary calculus.]** The document says Pilatte's\nLemma 2.3(d) with the displayed choice `log x = (log H)^6` gives an optimistic\nexponent `c₀/12` with `c₀ = t² log(1/(2t))`, whose unrestricted maximum is\n`1/(96e)`. Differentiating, `c₀′(t) = t(2 log(1/(2t)) − 1)`, so the stationary\npoint is `log(1/(2t)) = 1/2`, i.e. `t* = 1/(2√e) = 0.303265330`, giving\n`c₀(t*) = t*²/2 = 1/(8e) = 0.045984930146` and `c₀(t*)/12 = 1/(96e) =\n0.003832077512`. Both equalities hold to machine precision and a grid search on\n`(0, 1/2)` confirms the stationary point is the global maximum. The figure is\nexactly `max_t c₀(t)/12`.\n\nThe document's surrounding hedge is also correct and is worth keeping: this is an\noptimisation of a displayed parameterisation, not a theorem constant. Pilatte v3's\nabstract claims only `≪ (log x)^{1−c}` \"for some absolute constant `c > 0`\" and\nstates no value, so `1/(96e)` cannot be quoted as that theorem's `c`. **[VERIFIED\nat source.]**\n\n**§3's Abel constant 4. [VERIFIED, elementary.]** With\n`T_x(y) = Σ_{n≤y} a_x(n)/n` and `sup_{y≤x}|T_x(y)| ≤ E`, partial summation on\n`J = (u, v]` gives `Σ_{u<n≤v} a(n) = vT(v) − uT(u) − ∫_u^v T(s) ds`, hence\n`|Σ| ≤ (v + u + (v−u))E`. On the dyadic block `J = (x, 2x]` that is exactly\n`4xE`, so the constant is sharp as stated and not merely an order of magnitude.\n2,000 randomised trials never violate it (worst ratio 0.0605).\n\n## 2. All four source interfaces verified at origin\n\nFetched from `export.arxiv.org`; all four exist, and author lists match.\n\n| cited as | arXiv | actual title/subject | authors |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| Tao v4 | 1509.05422 | logarithmically averaged Chowla/Elliott, two-point | Tao |\n| Helfgott–Radziwiłł v2 | 2103.06853 | expansion/divisibility, quantitative Liouville | Helfgott, Radziwiłł |\n| Pilatte v3 | 2310.19357 | `Σ_{n≤x} λ(n)λ(n+1)/n ≪ (log x)^{1−c}` | Pilatte |\n| Tao–Teräväinen v2 | 2512.01739 | ω/Ω/τ problems; Erdős–Straus, Erdős irrationality, Erdős–Pomerance–Sárközy | Tao, Teräväinen |\n\n**The load-bearing citation is accurate, and I quote it.** The document rests its\nnew §4 route on \"the non-pretentious case of Tao–Teräväinen v2, Theorem 3.1\". The\npaper's abstract independently confirms the shape: \"we instead make use of a\ngeneral quantitative estimate for two-point correlations of multiplicative\nfunctions with a small power of logarithm saving that may be of independent\ninterest. This correlation estimate is derived by using recent work of Pilatte.\"\nTheorem 3.1 is titled **\"(A quantitative correlation estimate)\"**, it takes\n1-bounded multiplicative `g₁, g₂`, and it is explicitly split into\n**\"(i) (Equidistributed case)\"** and **\"(ii) (Non-pretentious case)\"** — the\npaper's own phrase \"the non-pretentious case of this theorem\" appears in its\ntext. Its conclusion: for `1 ≤ ℒ ≤ log X` there is a set\n`ℰ ⊂ [√X, X]` with logarithmic density `(1/log X)∫_ℰ dt/t ≪ ℒ^{−c}` such that\n`(W/N)Σ_{N<n≤2N}(g₁(n+h₁) − δ_N)g₂(n+h₂)1_{n≡b (W)} ≪ ℒ^{−c}` for all\n`N ∈ [√X, X] \\ ℰ`. **[VERIFIED: statement read verbatim from the v2 HTML.]**\n\nSo the document's characterisation — bounded multiplicative, non-pretentious\nbranch, \"a small continuous scale-average log saving\" — is exact. The saving is\n`ℒ^{−c}` and the averaging is over a continuous scale variable with an\nexceptional set measured logarithmically. **Nothing in §4 is overstated.**\n\n## 3. New: one of the document's own caveats is structural, not prudential\n\n§3 says \"Continuous scale integrals do not automatically bound a prescribed\ndiscrete dyadic sequence.\" Having the statement in hand, this can be strengthened\nfrom a caution to a proof.\n\n`ℰ` is constrained **only** by a bound on its logarithmic *measure*. A prescribed\ndyadic sequence `{2^k}` inside `[√X, X]` is a finite set (101 points at\n`X = 2^200`), and any finite or countable set has `∫ dt/t = 0`. So `ℰ` may\ncontain **every** dyadic scale while satisfying the density bound for any `ℒ`\nand any `c`. Consequently:\n\n> **Theorem 3.1, as stated, yields no bound whatsoever at a prescribed dyadic\n> sequence of scales.** Not \"not automatically\" — never, absent an additional\n> input that locates or thins `ℰ`.\n\n**Rung: PROVEN, elementary** (a countable set is null for `dt/t`); it is a\nstatement about what the quoted theorem permits, not about the truth of any\ndyadic estimate. This is why the registry row's \"no dyadic pointwise estimate\nfollows\" is not a hedge but a consequence, and it identifies exactly what a\nfuture route must add: control of the exceptional set's location, not a better\nsaving.\n\n**Falsifier.** A version of Theorem 3.1 whose exceptional set is bounded in\ncardinality, or in count per dyadic window, rather than in logarithmic measure,\nvoids this observation entirely. So would any argument that averages the\nconsumer over scales rather than evaluating it at prescribed ones — which is what\n`prime-band-transfer.md` §3 in fact does, and is the reason that route survives\nthis objection while a dyadic-pointwise route does not.\n\n## 4. Four parameter restrictions §4 does not record\n\nRead off the verified statement; none refutes anything, all constrain any future\nuse:\n\n- `b, h₁, h₂ = O(ℒ^c)` and `W ∈ [ℒ^c]` — shifts and modulus are bounded by a\n  small power of `ℒ`, not free.\n- The conclusion holds only for `N ∈ [√X, X]`.\n- `h₁ ≠ h₂` is required.\n- The **equidistributed** branch (i) carries technical condition (3.2),\n  `g₁(p) = 1` for `exp(log^{1/11}X) ≤ p ≤ exp(log^{1/10}X)`. The non-pretentious\n  branch (ii) does not. `prime-band-transfer.md` uses (ii), which is the correct\n  choice — (3.2) would fail for the μ-twisted family — but the document does not\n  say so, and a later reader reaching for branch (i) would hit a false hypothesis.\n  **Recommended: one line in §4 recording why (ii) and not (i).** Not applied; it\n  lands in a live document.\n\n## 5. What remains open\n\n- Everything the registry row already says: no o(x), no dyadic pointwise\n  estimate, no full-corner estimate, no positive twin margin.\n- The other full-corner branches beyond the `s = s′ = 1` prime-cofactor\n  subfamily remain unestimated.\n- §2's unsigned masses (`2η²x log²x`, and the swap cost\n  `2η(1−log 2)x log x`) are **not** checked here: they depend on definitions in\n  `corner-correlation.md` and review F6 that I did not read, and I decline to\n  score them from this document alone.\n- The `ℰ`-location question in §3 above is the concrete thing a dyadic route now\n  needs; I do not know whether the literature supplies it.\n\n## 6.
