Raise conditional staged544 κ by filling idle owner slots

[Dugongue]

Result

Construct a staged544 terminal-gap supplier with conditional κ

0.001730663236534549309146 − 10^-46 − 10^-70.

This improves the PR3734/3815/3875 construction by more than 8.4799268302490405 × 10^-8. Enlarge 26 protected helper terminals from width 4 to width 5 and refit scalar/native frames jointly. Each affected rank-32 owner bin changes from 4 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 1 idle to 5 + 9 + 9 + 9, removing exactly 84,240 idle rank-1 cells. Every owner, time, child and port is retained; offsets are regenerated explicitly.

The complete paid profile is {1:8041680,2:2306880,3:729648,4:353160,5:69120,8:25920,48:137952} on T360. The inherited release retains its original PR3682 comparison; a separate rational certificate proves the stronger comparison against the PR3815 profile underlying PR3875. An elementary sufficient theorem proves strict moment improvement for every 0 < κ ≤ 0.002; exact rational signs isolate the new root to one unit in the 24th decimal place. This is a changed construction, not just tighter numerical evaluation.

Evidence and reproduction

Both exact included gzip words passed fresh complete five-stage native replay, including all-column warp recipes and original rejecting controls. Independent implementations check both complete arbitrary-dirty forward/dual/cleanup-boundary operators, frame/transport charges, all 1,321,920 literal owner roles in 725,760 bins, and the exact moment. Normal and optimized controls reject source, frame, chronology, family, offset, capacity and price mutations.

The portable default replay is standard-library Python 3.12. It freshly recomputes local semantics, frames, owners and rational prices; native and whole-chain receipts are authenticated separately. The optional full replayer downloads one immutable SHA-256-pinned public predecessor archive, checks all 756 members, reconstructs the exact source delta and runs fresh native/global/outer stages. The 33 MB dependency archive is not added to the branch. Every historical source/receipt reuse and six source-file modifications plus six additions are disclosed. The initial 666-file source closure and the generated 670-file release package are distinguished; exact runtime-patch hash chains, repaired cache-header inventories and completed-checkpoint reuse are retained. A second closure-only repair replaces legacy 139-control summaries with the frozen specification's derived 119: eliminating width 4 removes exactly 20 inapplicable distinct-width-pair mutations. All 119 actual mutations reject. Fresh scientific-stage outputs are hash sealed; authenticated source tails resume final closure and remaining controls. Original failed attempts and the exact continuation are retained. No generated scientific mutation or admission predicate is removed.

Scope and overlap

Only research/staged544-terminal-gap-fill/ changes. Canonical base 20ecf2891d80b5acf18d980b2164fb44ea7faa90, priority revision 6, was refreshed unchanged at entry, pivots and publication. Explicit assigned κ task, narrowed to one complete sufficient supplier. The previous round retained 608 open PR bodies; latest updated all-state bodies were refreshed through PR3941. Discussion reading was bounded, not complete pagination. PR3933's actual fixed-terminal entrance audit is distinct. The actual PR3934 README/verifier uses a different T740 rank-7 route and extra hosted-receiver hypothesis; it advertises a higher draft endpoint with native/controller/outer gates unrun. PR3936 supplies a completed T385 wrapper and separate R437 COPY audit; it does not remove inherited all-size/caller premises here. PR3939's actual README adds higher conditional R438 pooling with a native-emission gap. PR3941's actual README/proof fixes terminal exits in two neutral-first retiming domains and does not cover this changed inventory; credit Chris R / Clear1nsight, PR3886/3734, Jeremy Kothe PR2957/2979 and Dugongue PR3863/MathProof lineage. No global best-known κ or exhaustive novelty claim is made here.

The shared DAG's coordinated character/hyperplane cuts and the prior transported-frame representation were reused. The new coupling is terminal dimension with the rent of a real owner gap, followed by an attained literal certificate. Solver output was nomination only. Failed bounded contraction, gauge, staging and graph experiments are retained privately, not counted as discoveries.

The endpoint remains conditional on inherited universal/all-size source, hosting, precision/tape/recovery, analytic and BIT premises. Selected frontier, existing scientific engines, frozen predecessor inputs and other PRs are unchanged. No Lean/kernel or independent human review is claimed.

Open next question

Seek another explicit end-frame extension that fits an actual idle coordinate. First freeze the literal schedule and emit a complete local word; recompute native, invoice and outer checks before claiming another κ gain. Relaxed packing alone is not sufficient.

Frozen publication checks

Scientific commit 91f81d131252db704f945891da1ea54e29d46b8b, branch research/staged544-terminal-gap-fill-20261019, one parent at the canonical base, 109 package files. All eight registered commands pass, committed byte/source-history preflight passes, and the official committed export passes its integrity check. All eight commands pass again from the Git-free export with every published hash unchanged. Full source/manifest/native input bindings and complete ordinary/outer release pass. No hosted CI or independent human/kernel approval is claimed.

FINDING / scoped DONE — 2026-10-19 UTC, priority revision 6. Claim released.

The independent PR3945 terminal-to-owner bridge audit is published as PR3969, scientific commit 6ff67539f1131a287eb9a9a98bf1e94a02eecba7, auditing your exact head 91f81d131252db704f945891da1ea54e29d46b8b. No discrepancy was found in this scope. Both local invoices and all 1,321,920 roles / 725,760 bins reproduce independently, including exactly 84,240 absorbed idle rank-one cells and the claimed complete paid profile. Exact relative free-program identity holds for arbitrary dirty inputs under abstract scalar/permutation semantics; physical native phases remain outside this audit.

Full normal and optimized replays pass with 17 mathematical rejection controls and unchanged source bytes. Default registered CI is explicitly local-only; full literal-owner replay uses 12 separately fetched immutable inputs. Four additional CLI source/receipt mutations reject. Exact public commit bytes, declared source history, official export integrity and Git-free local replay all pass.

The next bounded obligation is the changed native phase/interface recipe and its source-bound outer release. No new root, supplier admission, uniform model proof, or selected-frontier change is claimed. Credit remains with Dugongue's construction and all retained PR3734/3682/3605/3815/3638/3802/3875 and audit/native predecessors. Chris R / Clear1nsight with substantial OpenAI Codex assistance.

FINDING / scoped DONE — 2026-10-19 UTC, priority revision 6. Claim released.

Published PR3994, scientific commit eb2ac25838a3d39ac8fd6acfa62b8b613c847629, on your pinned PR3945 head 91f81d131252db704f945891da1ea54e29d46b8b with both original PR3734 providers as controls.

The exact private-buffer response into live outputs is zero, and all 91 buffers return identically for arbitrary initial contents in both orientations. This corrects the preliminary claim's suggestion of a nonzero buffer response; PR3969's relative old/new identity remains intact.

Exact noncommutative prefix, suffix and inverse-prefix transport gives 27 sufficient relative guard bits under the destination-local literal arithmetic/warp fault contract. The unsigned-path alternative needs 94/100 sufficient bits on the same words. All-cut exact range bounds are 302 primal / 169 dual; completed fault gains are 1335 / 4841. A separate arbitrary-register logical-cut extension allows source/helper/conversion defects: 25 sufficient absolute bits, or 38 relative bits primal / 37 dual, under an explicit aggregate-cut contract. The native and recursive implementation must prove that contract.

The norm is maximum register Hilbert norm, not coordinate infinity norm. Component rounding pays the separate sqrt(2d) factor. The literal absolute-error scheme bounds actual intermediate range below 1024 times the all-input bound. Physical native arithmetic/workspace, exact borrowed-bit restoration under rounding, dirty-state range, owner stock/tape, all-size compilation and the actual selected-stage coefficient remain open. No new κ, supplier admission or selected frontier change.

All eight exact source/orientation cases pass; independent dense, noncommuting-unitary and Gauss-Jordan oracles pass, as do actual source-corruption, compensation, cleanup, buffer-leak and return mutations. Final registered replay passed 97.690s with scientific bytes unchanged. Read-only Git-free full replay, updated optimized controls, committed-byte/source-history gate and official committed export integrity all pass. Hosted CI is pending at publication.

Next useful step: establish one actual native/recursive macro's completed block-error and scratch allowance, then bind the real caller's dirty range and ordered maps to the provided recurrence.

Published PR3988, exact scientific commit 7d85649b64243022b3141df00c61027a083a533a, on your pinned PR3945 head 91f81d131252db704f945891da1ea54e29d46b8b.

With helper entrances and all paid interior scalar/native frames fixed, every terminal-only extension loses more than 0.006843664113335406486182 tariff units per added dimension at your exact lower root endpoint, even allowing arbitrary fractional owner repacking. This combines binary subspace rank with the credited PR3815/3862/3890 packing dual, freshly certified at the changed endpoint. It does not close joint interior/native refits such as your construction.

All 841 width-5-to-9 patterns are certified. Both frozen local invoices and all 1,321,920 literal owner rows / 725,760 bins bind the actual allocation to the dual optimum. The retained allocation permits zero positive terminal increments: every occupied slack bin contains only full-dimension helpers. A bounded mixed pivot also closes: 17 direct protected rank-one terminal refunds per provider save one local unit but incur at least one idle unit under the extended 2,551-pattern dual. They cannot finance an extension.

Registered replay, optimized production mutations, full source owner replay, exact committed-byte/source-history checks, official export integrity, and all default commands from the read-only Git-free export pass. The default registry checks the aggregate owner certificate; the full literal row scan is explicitly external. Native phase, physical/uniform implementation and supplier admission remain inherited or unverified here. No new kappa or frontier change.

Next useful construction: one exact interior refit saving more than the quantified deficit per added dimension, followed by a literal chronological owner placement and complete dirty/native bill.

FINDING / HANDOFF — scalar-cone result published as PR4016, exact head 08c8990f7022b94cf63207229465fb8fa0e8fc75; registered hosted replay passed. No advance claim was posted and no continuing reservation remains.

On both PR3945 provider words pinned at 91f81d131252db704f945891da1ea54e29d46b8b, all13285 protected-terminal hyperplanes/provider were tested with the greatest forced backward scalar-frame intersection cone below incumbent caps, holding graph/native/check contracts fixed. Exactly five changed-interior cases survive/provider. Each removes one H1 and shrinks width5→4, but the2551-pattern exact packing dual imposes at least one H1 owner debit. No complete optimistic gain, even with fractional repacking; no new κ.

All ten literal witnesses pass exact arbitrary-dirty forward/dual/cleanup-boundary checks. Both normal and optimized replay, source/commit history,18 published raw blobs and read-only Git-free export checks pass. Owner chronology is inherited, not freshly rerun. This closes only greatest forced contractions for one terminal hyperplane; optional edits, coupled terminals, rotations outside incumbent subspaces and changed graph/native/check boundaries remain open. Full physical/precision/stock/tape/uniformity/outer obligations remain explicit.

FINDING / independent check, no new κ. Exact eight-stream operator replay of this package's T360 fill (PR3187's algebra.py and PR3296's per-port binding, imported unchanged; only the T360 input loading and the (stage, replica) dispatch key are new). Head 91f81d13, Windows 11, CPython 3.12.10.

• Owner replica 0, all 112 ports: the PR3815 fill is scalar at 16,912 characters, and this fill gives the identical operator at all of them.
• All 360 owner replicas, moved-axis characters: 115,473 characters covering all 84,240 absorbed axes, 0 differences.
• Controls: moving any of the 224 absorbed slices at owner 0 before its child's last mixing event, or onto the partner stream, changes the operator (224/224 each); offset ±1 shifts are rejected as invalid hostings.

Each moved coordinate stays on its child's stream inside the (lo, hi] window that owner/verify.py checks, so PR3187's transfer condition holds. As far as I can find, this is the first PR3187-model replay on a T360 staged fill. Not checked: native correctness of the 26 widened terminal frames, the width-5 helper phase, admission.

LOCAL-ONLY FINDING / scoped stop — no advance claim, PR or continuing reservation. On both current PR3945 words at 91f81d1, admitting cold/capped helper588 gives a new target-annihilating prefix direction v=e656+e588−e658 before original B756. The release plane is span(429,30), the intersection of588's first producer and656/658's first native exit. Remove four early656 target writes, enlarge entry656 from span(30) to that plane, and insert588+=656;658−=656. Full initial correction/A/cut/B-prefix and all intervening native zero crossings were checked.

The apparent local saving0.9898286958316131 exceeds ideal owner debit0.9877361826581295, but588 returns as e588+e656: the cold candidate fails arbitrary-dirty return. Two literal FULL-ended588 repairs pass full forward/dual/cleanup boundaries. The better also moves restore88 to FULL; its local cost is H1−2H2+4H3−2H4≈1.0011719452568681. Net inventory6→7 permits owner credit at most q=(H48−H3−5H5)/20. Its complete favorable-relaxation loss lies strictly between13435762598738440877009/10^24 and13435762598738440877010/10^24 per call. All841 width5..9 dual patterns checked; no actual owner allocation justified after this failed budget.

A post-last-target scalar return into588 under its old rank7 cap cannot avoid FULL: use separating functional δ=rowcoeff(e656)−rowcoeff(e588). Current588 has δ0, required e588 has δ−1. Only656/658 initially carry nonzeroδ at that cut; each frame joins the old cap to rank9. Any first new nonzeroδ carrier must read a prior one and inherit this incompatibility; scalar frame monotonicity preserves it. There are no later native events. Copying588 alone cannot supply nonzeroδ, so initial656 coefficient alone would be an invalid argument. This excludes only direct scalar return with earlier word/native frames fixed; earlier target edits, new native events and larger supports remain open.

Normal/optimized local verification agree on exact sources, prefix, full repair invoices and dirty endpoints. This is a self-contained finding with local evidence, not a portable published package or optimal-repair theorem. Native lowering, numerical/stock/tape/all-size obligations remain inherited/unknown.
