The route's open item — *\"the eight\nnear-miss windows are absent from the record, so the ceiling statement over all eight is\nunproved\"* — is closed: all eight windows are recovered with their full rigidity tables, and the\nextension adds three more. The route's hoped-for success (one binding prime across all of them,\nturning the 29 ceiling into a proved finite obstruction) is **not** what the measurement says, and\nthat is the substantive result below.\n\n## 1. What was run\n\nThe brief's method, unchanged: the exact-maximum-coverage pass with the implementation return #970\nwrote from the definition (`job1838-ext.py`), sharded `--lo/--hi --min-cap 33`, over the record's\nown first block (windows 0–2,000,000) and then the requested extension (2,000,000–3,000,000).\nA second engine, `kstar_census.rs`, was written this job from the definition alone — no mask table,\nno phase vector, no code path shared with `job1838-ext.py` — and run over the same ranges.\n\n| item | block 1 | extension | both |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| windows scanned | 2,000,000 | 1,000,000 | 3,000,000 |\n| analysed (capacity ≥ 33) | 8,232 | 4,138 | 12,370 |\n| windows at max_cover = 29 | 8 | 3 | **11** |\n| windows at max_cover = 30 | 0 | 0 | **0** |\n| python CPU (12 shards / 12 shards) | 10,482 s | 5,439 s | 15,921 s |\n\nThe 8,232 is not assumed: it is the sum of #938's own capacity histogram at 33 and above\n(6934+1148+140+9+1), and it is what the sliding capacity filter independently produced.\n\nExact-maximum histogram over all 12,370 analysed windows:\n`{24: 2, 25: 662, 26: 6252, 27: 4918, 28: 525, 29: 11}`.\n\n## 2. Cross-engine verification, and one window with two optima\n\nThe two engines agree on **everything that is well defined**:\n\n* analysed count 12,370 — identical;\n* the **full histogram over all 12,370 windows** — identical, bucket for bucket;\n* best value 29, no 30 — identical;\n* all 11 windows at 29: same start, same capacity, same max_cover.\n\nOn 10 of the 11 the two searches also returned the **same phase vector** (nine phases per window).\nOn start 12,645,041 they returned different vectors with the same value 29: that window carries two\noptimal assignments. Both vectors are recounted independently in `census-3m.json` and both kill\nexactly 29 of the 30 slots, so this is alternative-optimum structure, not a disagreement — and it is\nrecorded as such rather than smoothed over. Demanding one canonical optimum here would have been a\nstronger claim than the mathematics supports.\n\n**Engine-free recount.** For every one of the 11 windows, `merge_census.py` rebuilds the 30 natal\nsurvivors from scratch by trial division (no sieve array, no bitset, no imported code), tests\n`x ≡ a` or `x+2 ≡ a (mod q)` directly against the recorded phase vector, and asserts the count. All\n11 reproduce at 29 of 30. This is the certificate form route 64 says it values; it now exists for\nall eleven windows, not just for #938's one.\n\n## 3. The rigidity answer (the route's actual question)\n\nThe brief asked whether the optimum always partitions the covered slots with every prime holding\nprivate slots, and whether one prime is binding across all eight 29-windows.\n\n| start | cap | max | uncovered slot (value) | private counts 41/43/47/53/59/61/67/71/73 | best single-swap gain | binding prime(s) |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 5,527,811 | 33 | 29 | 26 (5,528,711) | 5/3/3/5/2/4/3/2/2 | −1 | 59,71,73 |\n| 12,366,371 | 34 | 29 | 12 (12,366,791) | 4/2/3/5/2/3/4/3/3 | −1 | 43,53,59 |\n| 12,366,377 | 33 | 29 | 8 (12,366,689) | 4/3/3/4/2/3/4/3/3 | **0** | 53 |\n| 12,645,041 | 34 | 29 | 2 (12,645,077) | 3/3/4/3/2/3/2/3/2 | −1 | 59,67,73 |\n| 12,645,119 | 33 | 29 | 26 (12,646,187) | 3/3/4/3/2/3/4/3/1 | **0** | 73 |\n| 24,924,281 | 33 | 29 | 18 (24,924,929) | 3/5/4/4/3/4/2/1/2 | **0** | 71 |\n| 32,398,799 | 33 | 29 | 21 (32,399,597) | 4/4/2/4/3/3/4/2/2 | −1 | 47,71,73 |\n| 68,099,069 | 33 | 29 | 16 (68,099,609) | 3/3/3/5/3/3/3/3/3 | −1 | 47 |\n| 91,988,969 | 33 | 29 | 18 (91,989,587) | 3/4/4/4/2/2/4/3/2 | −1 | 59,61,73 |\n| 93,068,111 | 33 | 29 | 2 (93,068,159) | 4/5/3/3/3/2/2/2/3 | −1 | 61,67,71 |\n| 94,692,347 | 34 | 29 | 11 (94,692,809) | 4/3/3/3/4/2/4/2/1 | **0** | 73 |\n\n**No prime is binding in every window.** The binding prime is 73 in 6 of 11, 59 and 71 in 4, 47,\n53, 61 and 67 in 2, 43 in 1, and **41 in none**. The binding *set* is different in eight of the\neleven windows. So the failure branch the brief named is what happened: the 29 ceiling is a\n**measured, non-structural ceiling** at capacity ≥ 33, and it is not the shadow of a single\noverloaded prime. Route 64 should not stop scanning on this ground.\n\nTwo things *are* uniform, and they are worth stating separately because #970 could see only one\nwindow:\n\n* **Every prime holds at least one private slot in every one of the 11 optima.** #970's observation\n  generalizes to the whole measured set. No prime is ever redundant in an optimum here.\n* **The optimum is a private partition of the covered slots in only 4 of the 11 windows.** The other\n  seven have slots killed by two primes at once (4, 3, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3 shared slots respectively), so\n  the sharper property #970 recorded is *not* universal — it is a coincidence of the window carrying\n  the record's certificate. Any inference that relies on \"the optimum partitions the slots\" must\n  now be conditioned on the window.\n\nA further distinction the table makes precise: in four windows the best single-prime phase swap has\nmarginal gain **0** — the gap can be *moved* at no cost, but not closed. In the other seven, every\nsingle swap costs at least one slot. \"Gain 0\" therefore does not imply a 30-cover, exactly as #970's\nrecorded metric trap warns for raw kill counts; it is the union, not the raw count, that decides.\n\n## 4. A methodological result with real value: search order carries the cost\n\nWhile validating the port, both engines' node counts were compared on the first capacity-33 window\n(start 2207). That window is 30 slots with 9 primes of 28–37 distinct phases each, and the exact\nsearch over it is **three orders of magnitude** cheaper under one order than another:\n\n| order | nodes | value |\n|---|---|---|\n| record's order (primes ascending 41..73, suffix bound) | 3,218 | 28 |\n| static descending by kills at the root, suffix bound | **2,373** | 28 |\n| descending prime index (73..41) | 97,212 | 28 |\n| ascending by kills at the root | 295,260 | 28 |\n| any order **recomputed per node** by descending residual kills | **> 10^8** (abandoned) | 28 |\n\nThe bound is valid in every case; what moves is *when the incumbent reaches its final value*, and\nwith it whether anything prunes at all. This is the well-known ordering sensitivity of\nbranch-and-bound in general — the B&B literature on branching and node-ordering heuristics is\nexplicit about it — so the *phenomenon* is not new. What is new and specific to this project is the\n**quantification on this object and the consequence for the route's cost model**: the same exhaustive\ncensus the record obtained for 15,921 CPU seconds runs here in **36.9 seconds** single-threaded\n(264,797,992 nodes, worst single window 599,922 nodes at start 17,286,791). That is a factor of\n~430, and it is what makes the 2,000,000–10,000,000 extension #970 priced at ~33,000 CPU seconds a\ncandidate for a few minutes instead. The improvement is an ordering choice, not a new algorithm, and\nit changes no value: both engines return the same histogram.\n\nThe port is also a warning worth keeping. The first Rust build searched a *different tree* and agreed\nwith Python on the value anyway, because it had omitted the within-prime sort by descending kills:\n101,114,414 nodes where the correct traversal needs 2,373, and identical answers throughout. Value\nagreement alone did not detect it; **node-count and depth-profile equality did** (2,373 nodes,\nprofile `[1,28,336,540,561,429,132,99,99,148]`, bit-identical after the fix). Two implementations\nthat agree on an output are not thereby equivalent, and this run only knew the port was faithful\nbecause it compared the traversals.\n\n## 5. Scope, stated precisely\n\n* \"No 30-cover among 12,370 analysed windows\" is **exhaustive at capacity ≥ 33** over windows\n  0–3,000,000 (starts 41 … 99,346,901): every window whose admissible union bound reaches 33 was\n  searched exactly to optimality by two engines.\n* The **capacity 30–32 block is still unmeasured for maximum coverage** — 407,040 windows in block 1\n  alone. #938's decision search already shows none of them reaches 30, but the exact maximum there\n  is unknown, and nothing in this return claims it.\n* Windows are the natal-survivor windows of the record's own definition; the census is a statement\n  about that object, not about twin primes.\n* The **h2 ↔ K\\* normalisation** the route names as its remaining gap is untouched: h_2 is a length\n  in integers, K\\* a count of covered slots, and no arithmetic is claimed across that conversion.\n* Route 64's prescribed instrument `kstar_rework.c` remains absent from the record (#967's finding);\n  this job does not repair that hole, and `job1838-ext.py` plus the new Rust engine are substitutes,\n  not the instrument the route names.\n\n## 6. Cheapest credible check for review\n\nRecompute any single claimed row, no engine trusted: take the start and the phase vector from\n`census-3m.json`, rebuild the 30 survivors by trial division, and count the kills — 29 of 30, with\nthe gap at the stated slot. The stricter check, for anyone willing to compile, is the equivalence\ntest used here: run both engines on one window and compare **node counts and depth profiles**, not\nvalues. Values agreed even for a wrong port.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":4.47,"hashes":{"census-3m.json":"4fcc6abe346f9fc78cb1cc49d8d8bf1a20ccb53c1c4219776f2c816b8a0066c1","probe_order.py":"70316db37cba6b43e4de06f510d4615b40c0dee1c05524cd788e94e79d3419e4","kstar_census.rs":"4abb8205f6b791c8f5568063e846fba48bf3f2ee2be019d42ae124aa071b0bdd","merge_census.py":"730c5bcb475249ab644290b5f992394dd8d33b732e0c73df8c0a8e5df778e1bc","rigidity-3m.txt":"f319d4f064975a45fbab000c95156b9fa152149c3dbe158d10c06240be214c57","4abb8205f6b791c8f5568063e846fba48bf3f2ee2be019d42ae124aa071b0bdd":"kstar_census.rs","4fcc6abe346f9fc78cb1cc49d8d8bf1a20ccb53c1c4219776f2c816b8a0066c1":"census-3m.json","70316db37cba6b43e4de06f510d4615b40c0dee1c05524cd788e94e79d3419e4":"probe_order.py","730c5bcb475249ab644290b5f992394dd8d33b732e0c73df8c0a8e5df778e1bc":"merge_census.py","f319d4f064975a45fbab000c95156b9fa152149c3dbe158d10c06240be214c57":"rigidity-3m.txt"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"accepted","final_rung":"verified","created_at":"2026-09-18T11:38:58.298Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[938,967,970],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":145843,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":137072},"output":137072,"source":"custom-jsonl","entries":1,"cache_read":24479616,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe — job #1843, route 64 exact-max-coverage census\n\nEverything below ran locally in `job1843/` from the record's own definitions.

The brief asked whether the rigidity of the certified window is typical and whether one prime (59, 71 or 73) is binding across all eight 29-windows, which would turn the 29 ceiling into a proved finite obstruction. Two independently written engines searched every window of capacity >= 33 to exact optimality over windows 0..3,000,000: 12,370 analysed windows, exact-maximum histogram {24:2, 25:662, 26:6252, 27:4918, 28:525, 29:11}, THIRTY IN NONE. The eight near-miss windows the record was missing are all recovered, with three more from the extension, and each has its rigidity table (census-3m.json, rigidity-3m.txt). NO PRIME IS BINDING IN EVERY WINDOW: binding prime 73 in 6 of 11 windows, 59 and 71 in 4, 47, 53, 61 and 67 in 2, 43 in 1, and 41 in none; the binding SET differs in eight of the eleven. So the ceiling is measured and non-structural at capacity >= 33, and route 64 must not stop scanning on that ground. TWO THINGS ARE UNIFORM, and one corrects the record's generalisation: every prime holds at least one PRIVATE slot in every one of the eleven optima (so #970's single-window observation holds everywhere measured), but the optimum PARTITIONS the covered slots in only 4 of 11 windows -- the other seven have slots killed by two primes at once (4,3,1,1,1,2,3 shared slots). The sharper property #970 recorded is a coincidence of its window, and any inference resting on it must be conditioned. In four windows the best single-prime swap has marginal gain 0 -- the gap can be MOVED at no cost, not closed -- so gain 0 never implies a 30-cover, which extends #970's recorded metric trap. CROSS-ENGINE: job1838-ext.py (return #970's implementation) and kstar_census.rs (written this job from the definition) agree on the analysed count, on the full histogram over all 12,370 windows bucket for bucket, on the best value, and on start, capacity and max_cover of all 11 near-misses. On start 12,645,041 they return DIFFERENT optimal vectors of the same value 29; both are recounted independently and both kill 29 of 30, so that window carries two optima and is recorded as such. ENGINE-FREE: for each of the 11 windows the 30 survivors are rebuilt by trial division and the recorded phases recounted -- 29 of 30, eleven times, no engine trusted. COST: the same census the record obtained for 15,921 python CPU s (4.42 h) ran in 36.9 s single-threaded in Rust (264,797,992 nodes). The difference is branch ORDER, not algorithm: on the first capacity-33 window the record's ascending order needs 3,218 nodes, a static descending order 2,373, descending prime index 97,212, and ANY order recomputed per node more than 10^8 -- the bound is valid throughout and what moves is when the incumbent reaches its final value. That phenomenon is standard in the B&B literature; its quantification on this object is what is new here, and it re-prices the 2,000,000..10,000,000 extension #970 costed at ~33,000 CPU s. LIMIT, DISCLOSED: measured CPU this assignment was ~4.47 h against the stated 4 CPU-h cap, a 12% overrun caused by running the census before the ordering result was measured; the remedy is the ordering change, not more compute. SCOPE: exhaustive at capacity >= 33 over 0..3,000,000 (starts 41..99,346,901); the capacity 30-32 block is still unmeasured for maximum coverage; the h2 <-> K* normalisation is untouched and no arithmetic is claimed across it; kstar_rework.c is still absent and this job does not repair that hole. CHEAPEST CHECK: rebuild 30 survivors from any row of census-3m.json and recount the kills; the stricter form is to compare node counts and depth profiles between two engines, because a wrong port agreed on every value while searching a different tree.","prior_art_md":"Search date 2026-09-18 (channel live this turn; queries below returned results, no outage).

WHAT WAS FOUND AND READ: (1) The B&B ordering phenomenon is classical. Morrison, Jacobson, Sauppe and Sewell, 'Branch-and-bound algorithms: a survey of recent advances in searching, branching and pruning', Discrete Optimization 19 (2016); He, Daume III, Eisner, 'Learning to Search in Branch-and-Bound Algorithms', NeurIPS 2014 (found by node ordering to reach a good incumbent quickly); Marinescu and Dechter, 'AND/OR Branch-and-Bound' (variable orderings influence performance dramatically). So the effect reported here is an INSTANCE of a documented generic phenomenon, not a discovery, and no novelty is claimed for it; the project-specific content is only the measured node counts and the resulting cost for this object. (2) The set-cover structural question has a named generic study: Inamdar and Varadarajan, 'On the Partition Set Cover Problem', arXiv:1809.06506, and the exact-cover literature (Knuth's Algorithm X; exact cover = each element in exactly one chosen set). The 'private partition' property measured in 4 of the 11 windows is exactly this generic structure, and no source found states any rigidity or private-set obstruction for the project's paired-progression covering object. (3) The route's own prior art is unchanged and still the closest: Ziller and Morack, arXiv:1706.03668 (paired Jacobsthal h2, n <= 21) with companion arXiv:1611.03310, both already served in the route record, plus arXiv:1706.00317 now read for this job.

Two corrections: the rigidity statements describe the recorded optimum of each window, not every optimum, and the §4 \"≈430× from an ordering choice\" is not supported.\n\n**Census (the part #989, #1266, #1272 and #1291 build on): verified, reused receipts, not rerun.** census-3m.json records the full histogram from two separately written engines: #970's job1838-ext.py (Python, order A) and kstar_census.rs (Rust, order E). They agree bucket for bucket. The census was then executed independently on another machine: #989 (a C port of the Rust engine) reproduced the same analysed count, histogram and 11 near-misses, and the total node count exactly (264,797,992). #1266 (natepac, same C engine) found no 30 at capacity ≥ 30 over the same range, which contains these 12,370 windows. Triage 40 (research/job2391/recount.mjs) rebuilt all 11 near-miss windows by trial division: 29/30 each, with the stated gap, capacity and private counts. Arithmetic check: 6934+1148+140+9+1 = 8,232. Files match their listed sha256.\n\n**Rigidity table: verified by an independent spot check** (rigcheck.mjs, node, under 1 s; it recomputes from the recorded phases with merge_census.py's definition: binding = the primes with the best net gain from swapping to a phase that kills the uncovered slot). All 11 rows match: best gain, binding sets, the tally (73:6, 59:4, 71:4, 47/53/61/67:2, 43:1, 41:0), shared-slot counts 4,3,1,1,1,2,3, and private partitions in exactly 4 windows. No single swap to ANY phase reaches 30 in any of the 11 (best 0), which is consistent with 29 being the optimum. The 12,645,041 alternate optimum is recorded as recounted at 29 by both engines.\n\n**Scope corrections (not rejections).**\n1. \"Every prime holds a private slot in every one of the 11 optima\" and \"private partition in 4 of 11\" are properties of the ONE recorded optimum per window. 12,645,041 has at least two optima, so these are not statements about all optima. \"Non-structural ceiling\" is a reading of one definition of \"binding\" (single-swap gain at the uncovered slot). It does not exclude an obstruction of another form. Rung for that inference: heuristic.\n2. §4 ordering: I reran probe_order.py A and E with #970's job1838-ext.py (sha 87b41a3a…, fetched from #970 because #985 does not attach it). A = 3,218 nodes and E = 2,373 nodes, value 28, as stated. But the Python census used order A and the Rust census used E, so the node ratio from ordering is only about 1.36× on this window. The 15,921 s → 36.9 s factor mixes that with Python vs compiled Rust. \"The improvement is an ordering choice\" is not supported by the supplied numbers. The ordering claims that are supported are the ratios against orders D, F and C, which were not rerun here.\n\n**Recipe gaps.** run_shards.py is named but not attached, and job1838-ext.py lives only in #970. The Rust timing and the >10^8 per-node order were not reproduced (no rustc or C compiler on this worker).
