Task 2.12 (E-024): θ-flow numerics. Goal: scan θ (fixed values incl. π/2, π, and moving candidates), compute valley depth Δ(a;θ), pin the finite-a θ ↔ B-side ψ convention mapping, test whether any θ(a) path breaks the fixed-θ saturation. Design considerations: 1. **What varies with θ?** W(a,θ;z) = (z−i)V₊(z) + e^{iθ}(z+i)V₋(z). At θ=π, zeros all real and we computed weights. For general θ, are zeros still real? YES — at finite a, D̄_{a,θ} is self-adjoint in Hilbert ℋ(T_a) for EVERY θ, so all its eigenvalues are real for every θ. But W's zeros = spectrum (Thm 1.5), so zeros of W(a,θ;·) should be real for all θ. Hmm — but E-014 noted θ=0 zeros real too ✓ consistent. 2. **The K/weights for general θ**: the spectral measure of D̄_{a,θ} has masses 1/K_θ(z_k(θ), z_k(θ))... wait — the reproducing kernel K of the model space ℋ(T_a) does NOT depend on θ! The space is the same; different extensions = different spectral measures (Clark measures μ_θ) on the same space. The masses are 1/K(z_k(θ), z_k(θ)) where z_k(θ) are the zeros of W(a,θ;·). So the K_a(z,z) function I computed (from T_a alone) is θ-INDEPENDENT — the valleys at γ's are a property of the SPACE, not the extension! Wait, that changes interpretation: the valley structure K_a(z,z) dips at γ's regardless of θ. The θ-dependence enters through WHERE the atoms z_k(θ) sit relative to the valleys. At θ=π: atoms sit at generic positions (chance-level from valleys), so the atoms near valleys get large weights 1/K. Hmm — so for the measure to consolidate at γ's, the atoms z_k(θ(a)) must move INTO the valleys (one atom per valley) AND the other atoms must leave... but every θ gives a complete lattice of atoms with spacing π/a — the atoms always tile ℝ densely! The Clark measures for different θ are all atomic with interlacing lattices (rigid translations of each other — for rank-one perturbation families, the spectra interlace). So consolidation can't come from positions alone (always ~aZ/π atoms in-window); it must come from the WEIGHTS: μ_θ puts mass 1/K(z_k) on each atom. Atoms in valleys: weight ~1. Atoms on plateau: weight e^{−Δ}. As a→∞ with FIXED space (fixed K)... but the space itself depends on a! ℋ(T_a) changes with a. The measured picture: at each a, valleys at γ's with depth Δ(a), plateau level ~1 (K_γ ≈ 1/1, K_plateau ≈ e^{Δ}). For the Clark measure μ_θ: total mass = invariant 184; mass near γ's = Σ over atoms in valleys of 1/K. Since atoms are distributed uniformly (lattice), fraction of atoms in valleys ≈ (valley width)/(atom spacing) → small as a→∞ (spacing π/a → 0, valley width fixed?). Hmm — so mass near γ's = (atoms in valleys)·(weight ~1) ≈ (2ε·a/π)·1 per γ-window... at a=12: atoms within 0.1 of γ: ~0.2·12/π ≈ 0.76 per γ — less than 1 atom per valley! So the "valley atom" is just the nearest atom, within 0.1 for ~76% of γ's. Mass within ±0.1 of γ's = 0.725·184 = 133 ≈ 135·1·(coverage)... OK so the physics: each valley captures ≈ 1 atom with weight ≈ 1 (whichever atom happens to fall in the valley). The OTHER atoms carry the residual. For consolidation, need the other atoms' TOTAL weight → 0: R(a) = (aZ/π)·e^{−Δ(a)} → 0. NOW the θ-dependence: shifting θ translates the atom lattice (phase shift θ/a in position: zeros of sin(az − θ/2) shift by θ/(2a)). For different θ, different atoms fall into valleys — but statistically the same: always ~1 atom per valley. So Δ(a;θ) (valley depth) doesn't depend on θ at all! K is θ-independent!! WAIT. Then what does E-024 measure?? The valley depth is θ-independent. The measure's γ-capture is ~statistically identical for all θ. Hmm — so how could ANY θ(a) flow produce consolidation?? Unless... the K-function I computed is itself θ-independent (it is — T_a has no θ), but is the spectral mass really 1/K(z_k,z_k) for every extension? For a de Branges space, the Clark measure for boundary condition θ has masses 1/K(z_k(θ), z_k(θ)) — yes, standard (de Branges 1968): the spectral measure of the extension S_θ has mass 1/K(β,β) at each zero β of the corresponding phase function. So for EVERY θ, μ_θ = Σ 1/K(z_k(θ),z_k(θ)) δ_{z_k(θ)}. Then for consolidation we need: atoms fall into valleys (mass ~1) and plateau atoms get weight → 0. Plateau atom weight = e^{−Δ(a)} — θ-INDEPENDENT. So the consolidation criterion Δ(a) → ∞ is genuinely θ-independent?! And the measured saturation Δ_∞ ≈ 3.33 would kill ALL fixed... no wait, Δ(a) = valley depth of K_a — depends on a only. If Δ(a) saturates, NO θ-flow helps within this framework. Hmm!! But hold on — that can't be right, because Suzuki's §7.5 says D_{a,θ(a)} → D is expected to hold (under RH) for SUITABLE θ(a) — and wrong θ(a) presumably fails. If the spectral measures all look alike statistically (lattice + valley capture), what distinguishes θ(a) → π/2 from θ = π? The distinction must be in WHAT LIMIT the measure converges to weakly: μ_{a,θ} ⇒ Σ_γ m_γ δ_γ requires... as computed, every θ gives ~1 mass per valley + residual. The residual R(a) → 0 requires Δ(a) → ∞ — θ-independent. So EITHER (a) the saturation Δ_∞ = 3.33 is the real obstruction for every θ (and Suzuki's expectation fails at the measure level?!), or (b) something in my picture is off. Reconsider (b): is the saturation model right? Δ(a) = 3.33 − 4.76/a was a 5-point fit, max resid 0.032. Alternative fit: Δ(a) = c·log a? log: values ln: at a=4..12: ln a = 1.39..2.48; Δ = 2.16..2.94. Δ vs ln a: slope = (2.94−2.16)/(2.48−1.39) = 0.72 — Δ ≈ 0.72 ln a + 1.16? check a=8: 0.72·2.08+1.16 = 2.66 vs 2.735; a=6: 0.72·1.79+1.16=2.45 vs 2.51. Both models fit within ~0.05 over 5 points. The saturation model and the logarithmic-growth model DIVERGE asymptotically: log-growth gives Δ − log a = −0.28 ln a → −∞... still fails the Δ − log a → ∞ criterion! Interesting: with Δ ~ 0.72 log a, R(a) = (aZ/π)e^{−Δ} = (Z/π)·a^{1−0.72} = (Z/π)a^{0.28} → ∞ — residual still grows. Even log-growth with slope 0.72 isn't enough; need slope > 1. Hmm OK so with either fit, fixed-θ fails asymptotically. And θ can't matter for Δ. So what's the resolution?? Let me reconsider: maybe the valley structure is θ-dependent after all — because K_a(z,z) is the kernel of ℋ(T_a), but the spectral problem's natural metric... no wait. Hmm, let me re-examine: maybe I should double-check the claim that weights = 1/K(z_k,z_k) are θ-independent in structure. They are: K is the space's kernel. Alternative resolution: maybe for the RIGHT θ(a), the valley STRUCTURE changes... no, K doesn't see θ. Hmm, wait — actually let me reconsider the problem. The measured valleys at γ's — I computed K_a(z,z) and found dips AT the γ's. But the γ's are the TRUE zeros. How does the finite-a Galerkin space know the true zeros?? The space ℋ(T_a) is built from the truncated screw function (primes ≤ e^{2a}) — it approximates the true symbol. The valleys at γ's mean the truncated model's metric dips at the TRUE zero positions (to height 280 — which requires primes up to ~280² = 78400 ≈ e^{11.3} — within e^{2a} for a ≥ 6 ✓). So the K-valley depth is bounded by the truncation fidelity: the truncated symbol can only localize zeros to some accuracy; Δ(a) saturation might reflect the truncation limit of the PRIME information rather than the extension choice. Deeper valleys need more primes (larger a). The saturation fit says the localization improves like... Δ ≈ 3.33 − 4.76/a. Now the resolvent convergence question: Suzuki's expectation D_{a,θ(a)} → D. The spectra: lattice with ~1 atom per valley + plateau atoms. For strong resolvent convergence to D (spectrum exactly Γ), we need... the measures μ_{a,θ} ⇒ Σ m_γ δ_γ weakly, which needs residual → 0. θ-independent obstruction. UNLESS the e^{ϕ(a,z)} normalization factor in Cor 1.6 absorbs the plateau atoms' contribution... Cor 1.6 allows e^{ϕ(a,z)} normalization! The limit formula is e^{ϕ}W → F — the ϕ can kill growth factors. The spectral measure analog: the measure convergence might hold in a RE-NORMALIZED sense (μ_a / total-mass-in-window, i.e., probability measures). Normalized: valleys carry 135/184 = 73%, residual 27% — still needs residual fraction → 0: R(a)/184 → 0 needed — same criterion. So the honest conclusion forming: EITHER (i) Δ(a) must actually keep growing (saturation model wrong — only 5 points; a > 12 needed to discriminate), OR (ii) the whole fixed-symbol truncation family fails and something else is needed. The θ(a) flow story from D-041 §5 (N3: θ(a) → π/2) — hmm, but if measures are statistically θ-independent, why does Suzuki need θ(a) at all? Because of the (z∓i) factors / the deficiency pairing: the CONVERGENCE of W as a function (Cor 1.6) needs the right phase; the measure-level statistics wash it out. Hmm wait, actually — let me reconsider whether atoms-in-valleys is really θ-independent. The valley WIDTH: how wide are the K-dips? If the lattice spacing π/a is much SMALLER than valley width, each valley captures MANY atoms, each with weight ~1 → mass per γ ≫ 1 — but measured valley mass ≈ 1.0 exactly. So valley width ≈ lattice spacing at current a? Or the K-profile is such that only the deepest atom gets ~1. Let me look at the actual K-profile shape around a γ (from E-022b-valley.csv, grid step 0.05). If valleys are narrow (width ~ 0.1–0.3), then as a grows and lattice densifies, MULTIPLE atoms fall in each valley, each carrying significant weight — the valley mass would GROW beyond 1... but valley mass stays 1.00 at a=4,8,12 (atom counts per valley: 0.2·4/π = 0.25 → 0.76 atoms per ±0.1 window). Actually with <1 atom per valley on average, "valley mass = 1" means: when an atom is in the valley it carries ~1.3... This is getting confusing. Let me just look at the K-profile around a γ in the CSV data. Actually — for E-024 design, the decisive question list: Q1. Is Δ(a;θ) really θ-independent? (Compute K + zeros + weights at θ = π/2, π/4, 3π/4, etc. — direct check.) Q2. Does the atom→valley capture improve/worsen with θ? (Measure: mass within ±0.1 of γ's per θ.) Q3. Is there any θ(a) with residual decreasing? Q4. Convention mapping: Suzuki's ψ=π/2 extension — which of our θ produces the matching spectral statistics? E.g., compare first-zero position: M_{π/2} spectrum = Γ starts at γ₁ = 14.13 (no zeros near 0); our W(a,θ) lattices start at z₁(θ) — for which θ does z₁·a match...? The π/2-extension's spectrum excludes 0... Our W always has the double zero at 0 (D-026) — the artifact. Hmm wait — Q4 has a sharp version: the limit operator M_{π/2} has spectrum = zeros of ξ(½−iz) = Γ. Suzuki says M_ψ extensions have spectra = zeros of the phase functions φ_ψ(z) = ... interlacing families between Γ and its shift. At finite a: W(a,θ) zeros = lattice ≈ sin(az−θ/2) zeros (skeleton): z_k ≈ (θ/2 + πk)/a. For the LIMIT to be Γ with γ₁ = 14.13: need... the zeros must FLOW to γ's — they don't (they stay lattice). The convergence is not zero-by-zero but measure-level. OK here's the thing — I keep going back and forth. Let me look at the actual K-profile data first (E-022b CSV), understand valley shape, THEN design E-024 properly. The design might be: sweep θ ∈ {0, π/4, π/2, 3π/4, π} at a ∈ {4, 8, 12}, compute per-θ: zeros, weights, mass-near-γ, residual R(a,θ), and the convention discriminators. Also directly test the θ-independence prediction (itself a valuable check: if masses/statistics turn out θ-INDEPENDENT, that's a strong structural finding: "the extension choice is measure-asymptotically irrelevant; the obstruction lives entirely in K_a's saturation" — which would REDIRECT the whole 2.9 line away from θ(a) toward the truncation/saturation question!). Hmm wait, but that contradicts Suzuki's need for θ(a)... no — Suzuki needs θ(a) for the FUNCTION-level convergence e^{ϕ}W → F (the phases must align to get F = z²ξ/ξ′ and not e^{iθ}-rotated version). The zero SETS (spectra) for different θ are different lattices, but statistically equivalent. The measure convergence μ_{a,θ} ⇒ Σm_γδ_γ: as a→∞, the lattice densifies; each valley captures its atom(s) with total ≈1 IF exactly one atom... if two atoms in a valley, mass splits? or doubles? Valley mass measured 1.00 with <1 atom/valley average — so when an atom is near γ it carries ≈1.3, when slightly off... The measured mean is over γ's: some γ's have no atom within 0.1. Mass 1.0 average. Fine. The point: residual = plateau atoms total weight — θ-independent statistically. So E-024's honest prediction: θ-sweep shows no significant θ-dependence in consolidation metrics; the real question is Δ(a) beyond saturation — motivating a=13+ or finer analysis of the saturation model. BUT — testing this prediction is itself scientifically decisive: if the θ-sweep SHOWS strong θ-dependence, my de Branges analysis is wrong somewhere and the θ-flow hope lives; if it shows independence, D-041's N3 story needs revision and the obstruction is purely the K-saturation (truncation depth). 2'. Actually — wait. One more consideration before designing: is the WEIGHT formula 1/K(z_k,z_k) exactly right for our bordered (L²_0-constrained) Galerkin problem? The constraint modifies the space (codimension 1) — fine, K computed within it. OK. 3. Also the measured Δ-saturation could be a TRUNCATION artifact: primes ≤ e^{2a}: zero localization accuracy ~ e^{−2a}? Δ(a) ≈ 3.33 − 4.76/a — no, e^{−2a} would give much faster approach. Or log(2a)? Meh. Let me first inspect the valley shape from E-022b CSV (quick), then design E-024.
Proceeding with E-024 design. First, a critical theory check: the Clark-measure weights 1/K(z_k,z_k) depend on θ only through *which* atoms fall in the valleys — K itself is θ-independent (it's the space's kernel). Let me inspect the valley shape from E-022b data before designing the sweep.

Goal: scan θ (fixed values incl. π/2, π, and moving candidates), compute valley depth Δ(a;θ), pin the finite-a θ ↔ B-side ψ convention mapping, test whether any θ(a) path breaks the fixed-θ saturation.\n\nDesign considerations:\n\n1. **What varies with θ?** W(a,θ;z) = (z−i)V₊(z) + e^{iθ}(z+i)V₋(z). At θ=π, zeros all real and we computed weights. For general θ, are zeros still real? YES — at finite a, D̄_{a,θ} is self-adjoint in Hilbert ℋ(T_a) for EVERY θ, so all its eigenvalues are real for every θ. But W's zeros = spectrum (Thm 1.5), so zeros of W(a,θ;·) should be real for all θ. Hmm — but E-014 noted θ=0 zeros real too ✓ consistent.\n\n2. **The K/weights for general θ**: the spectral measure of D̄_{a,θ} has masses 1/K_θ(z_k(θ), z_k(θ))... wait — the reproducing kernel K of the model space ℋ(T_a) does NOT depend on θ! The space is the same; different extensions = different spectral measures (Clark measures μ_θ) on the same space. The masses are 1/K(z_k(θ), z_k(θ)) where z_k(θ) are the zeros of W(a,θ;·). So the K_a(z,z) function I computed (from T_a alone) is θ-INDEPENDENT — the valleys at γ's are a property of the SPACE, not the extension!\n\n   Wait, that changes interpretation: the valley structure K_a(z,z) dips at γ's regardless of θ. The θ-dependence enters through WHERE the atoms z_k(θ) sit relative to the valleys. At θ=π: atoms sit at generic positions (chance-level from valleys), so the atoms near valleys get large weights 1/K. Hmm — so for the measure to consolidate at γ's, the atoms z_k(θ(a)) must move INTO the valleys (one atom per valley) AND the other atoms must leave... but every θ gives a complete lattice of atoms with spacing π/a — the atoms always tile ℝ densely! The Clark measures for different θ are all atomic with interlacing lattices (rigid translations of each other — for rank-one perturbation families, the spectra interlace).\n\n   So consolidation can't come from positions alone (always ~aZ/π atoms in-window); it must come from the WEIGHTS: μ_θ puts mass 1/K(z_k) on each atom. Atoms in valleys: weight ~1. Atoms on plateau: weight e^{−Δ}. As a→∞ with FIXED space (fixed K)... but the space itself depends on a! ℋ(T_a) changes with a. The measured picture: at each a, valleys at γ's with depth Δ(a), plateau level ~1 (K_γ ≈ 1/1, K_plateau ≈ e^{Δ}).\n\n   For the Clark measure μ_θ: total mass = invariant 184; mass near γ's = Σ over atoms in valleys of 1/K. Since atoms are distributed uniformly (lattice), fraction of atoms in valleys ≈ (valley width)/(atom spacing) → small as a→∞ (spacing π/a → 0, valley width fixed?). Hmm — so mass near γ's = (atoms in valleys)·(weight ~1) ≈ (2ε·a/π)·1 per γ-window... at a=12: atoms within 0.1 of γ: ~0.2·12/π ≈ 0.76 per γ — less than 1 atom per valley! So the \"valley atom\" is just the nearest atom, within 0.1 for ~76% of γ's. Mass within ±0.1 of γ's = 0.725·184 = 133 ≈ 135·1·(coverage)... \n\n   OK so the physics: each valley captures ≈ 1 atom with weight ≈ 1 (whichever atom happens to fall in the valley). The OTHER atoms carry the residual. For consolidation, need the other atoms' TOTAL weight → 0: R(a) = (aZ/π)·e^{−Δ(a)} → 0.\n\n   NOW the θ-dependence: shifting θ translates the atom lattice (phase shift θ/a in position: zeros of sin(az − θ/2) shift by θ/(2a)). For different θ, different atoms fall into valleys — but statistically the same: always ~1 atom per valley. So Δ(a;θ) (valley depth) doesn't depend on θ at all! K is θ-independent!!\n\n   WAIT. Then what does E-024 measure?? The valley depth is θ-independent. The measure's γ-capture is ~statistically identical for all θ. Hmm — so how could ANY θ(a) flow produce consolidation??\n\n   Unless... the K-function I computed is itself θ-independent (it is — T_a has no θ), but is the spectral mass really 1/K(z_k,z_k) for every extension? For a de Branges space, the Clark measure for boundary condition θ has masses 1/K(z_k(θ), z_k(θ)) — yes, standard (de Branges 1968): the spectral measure of the extension S_θ has mass 1/K(β,β) at each zero β of the corresponding phase function. So for EVERY θ, μ_θ = Σ 1/K(z_k(θ),z_k(θ)) δ_{z_k(θ)}.\n\n   Then for consolidation we need: atoms fall into valleys (mass ~1) and plateau atoms get weight → 0. Plateau atom weight = e^{−Δ(a)} — θ-INDEPENDENT. So the consolidation criterion Δ(a) → ∞ is genuinely θ-independent?! And the measured saturation Δ_∞ ≈ 3.33 would kill ALL fixed... no wait, Δ(a) = valley depth of K_a — depends on a only. If Δ(a) saturates, NO θ-flow helps within this framework. Hmm!!\n\n   But hold on — that can't be right, because Suzuki's §7.5 says D_{a,θ(a)} → D is expected to hold (under RH) for SUITABLE θ(a) — and wrong θ(a) presumably fails. If the spectral measures all look alike statistically (lattice + valley capture), what distinguishes θ(a) → π/2 from θ = π?\n\n   The distinction must be in WHAT LIMIT the measure converges to weakly: μ_{a,θ} ⇒ Σ_γ m_γ δ_γ requires... as computed, every θ gives ~1 mass per valley + residual. The residual R(a) → 0 requires Δ(a) → ∞ — θ-independent. So EITHER (a) the saturation Δ_∞ = 3.33 is the real obstruction for every θ (and Suzuki's expectation fails at the measure level?!), or (b) something in my picture is off.\n\n   Reconsider (b): is the saturation model right? Δ(a) = 3.33 − 4.76/a was a 5-point fit, max resid 0.032. Alternative fit: Δ(a) = c·log a? log: values ln: at a=4..12: ln a = 1.39..2.48; Δ = 2.16..2.94. Δ vs ln a: slope = (2.94−2.16)/(2.48−1.39) = 0.72 — Δ ≈ 0.72 ln a + 1.16? check a=8: 0.72·2.08+1.16 = 2.66 vs 2.735; a=6: 0.72·1.79+1.16=2.45 vs 2.51. Both models fit within ~0.05 over 5 points. The saturation model and the logarithmic-growth model DIVERGE asymptotically: log-growth gives Δ − log a = −0.28 ln a → −∞... still fails the Δ − log a → ∞ criterion! Interesting: with Δ ~ 0.72 log a, R(a) = (aZ/π)e^{−Δ} = (Z/π)·a^{1−0.72} = (Z/π)a^{0.28} → ∞ — residual still grows. Even log-growth with slope 0.72 isn't enough; need slope > 1.\n\n   Hmm OK so with either fit, fixed-θ fails asymptotically. And θ can't matter for Δ. So what's the resolution?? Let me reconsider: maybe the valley structure is θ-dependent after all — because K_a(z,z) is the kernel of ℋ(T_a), but the spectral problem's natural metric... no wait. Hmm, let me re-examine: maybe I should double-check the claim that weights = 1/K(z_k,z_k) are θ-independent in structure. They are: K is the space's kernel.\n\n   Alternative resolution: maybe for the RIGHT θ(a), the valley STRUCTURE changes... no, K doesn't see θ.\n\n   Hmm, wait — actually let me reconsider the problem. The measured valleys at γ's — I computed K_a(z,z) and found dips AT the γ's. But the γ's are the TRUE zeros. How does the finite-a Galerkin space know the true zeros?? The space ℋ(T_a) is built from the truncated screw function (primes ≤ e^{2a}) — it approximates the true symbol. The valleys at γ's mean the truncated model's metric dips at the TRUE zero positions (to height 280 — which requires primes up to ~280² = 78400 ≈ e^{11.3} — within e^{2a} for a ≥ 6 ✓).\n\n   So the K-valley depth is bounded by the truncation fidelity: the truncated symbol can only localize zeros to some accuracy; Δ(a) saturation might reflect the truncation limit of the PRIME information rather than the extension choice. Deeper valleys need more primes (larger a). The saturation fit says the localization improves like... Δ ≈ 3.33 − 4.76/a.\n\n   Now the resolvent convergence question: Suzuki's expectation D_{a,θ(a)} → D. The spectra: lattice with ~1 atom per valley + plateau atoms. For strong resolvent convergence to D (spectrum exactly Γ), we need... the measures μ_{a,θ} ⇒ Σ m_γ δ_γ weakly, which needs residual → 0. θ-independent obstruction. UNLESS the e^{ϕ(a,z)} normalization factor in Cor 1.6 absorbs the plateau atoms' contribution... Cor 1.6 allows e^{ϕ(a,z)} normalization! The limit formula is e^{ϕ}W → F — the ϕ can kill growth factors. The spectral measure analog: the measure convergence might hold in a RE-NORMALIZED sense (μ_a / total-mass-in-window, i.e., probability measures). Normalized: valleys carry 135/184 = 73%, residual 27% — still needs residual fraction → 0: R(a)/184 → 0 needed — same criterion.\n\n   So the honest conclusion forming: EITHER (i) Δ(a) must actually keep growing (saturation model wrong — only 5 points; a > 12 needed to discriminate), OR (ii) the whole fixed-symbol truncation family fails and something else is needed. The θ(a) flow story from D-041 §5 (N3: θ(a) → π/2) — hmm, but if measures are statistically θ-independent, why does Suzuki need θ(a) at all? Because of the (z∓i) factors / the deficiency pairing: the CONVERGENCE of W as a function (Cor 1.6) needs the right phase; the measure-level statistics wash it out.\n\n   Hmm wait, actually — let me reconsider whether atoms-in-valleys is really θ-independent. The valley WIDTH: how wide are the K-dips? If the lattice spacing π/a is much SMALLER than valley width, each valley captures MANY atoms, each with weight ~1 → mass per γ ≫ 1 — but measured valley mass ≈ 1.0 exactly. So valley width ≈ lattice spacing at current a? Or the K-profile is such that only the deepest atom gets ~1. Let me look at the actual K-profile shape around a γ (from E-022b-valley.csv, grid step 0.05). If valleys are narrow (width ~ 0.1–0.3), then as a grows and lattice densifies, MULTIPLE atoms fall in each valley, each carrying significant weight — the valley mass would GROW beyond 1... but valley mass stays 1.00 at a=4,8,12 (atom counts per valley: 0.2·4/π = 0.25 → 0.76 atoms per ±0.1 window). Actually with <1 atom per valley on average, \"valley mass = 1\" means: when an atom is in the valley it carries ~1.3... This is getting confusing. Let me just look at the K-profile around a γ in the CSV data.\n\n   Actually — for E-024 design, the decisive question list:\n   Q1. Is Δ(a;θ) really θ-independent? (Compute K + zeros + weights at θ = π/2, π/4, 3π/4, etc. — direct check.)\n   Q2. Does the atom→valley capture improve/worsen with θ? (Measure: mass within ±0.1 of γ's per θ.)\n   Q3. Is there any θ(a) with residual decreasing?\n   Q4. Convention mapping: Suzuki's ψ=π/2 extension — which of our θ produces the matching spectral statistics? E.g., compare first-zero position: M_{π/2} spectrum = Γ starts at γ₁ = 14.13 (no zeros near 0); our W(a,θ) lattices start at z₁(θ) — for which θ does z₁·a match...? The π/2-extension's spectrum excludes 0... Our W always has the double zero at 0 (D-026) — the artifact.\n\n   Hmm wait — Q4 has a sharp version: the limit operator M_{π/2} has spectrum = zeros of ξ(½−iz) = Γ. Suzuki says M_ψ extensions have spectra = zeros of the phase functions φ_ψ(z) = ... interlacing families between Γ and its shift. At finite a: W(a,θ) zeros = lattice ≈ sin(az−θ/2) zeros (skeleton): z_k ≈ (θ/2 + πk)/a. For the LIMIT to be Γ with γ₁ = 14.13: need... the zeros must FLOW to γ's — they don't (they stay lattice). The convergence is not zero-by-zero but measure-level.\n\n   OK here's the thing — I keep going back and forth. Let me look at the actual K-profile data first (E-022b CSV), understand valley shape, THEN design E-024 properly. The design might be: sweep θ ∈ {0, π/4, π/2, 3π/4, π} at a ∈ {4, 8, 12}, compute per-θ: zeros, weights, mass-near-γ, residual R(a,θ), and the convention discriminators. Also directly test the θ-independence prediction (itself a valuable check: if masses/statistics turn out θ-INDEPENDENT, that's a strong structural finding: \"the extension choice is measure-asymptotically irrelevant; the obstruction lives entirely in K_a's saturation\" — which would REDIRECT the whole 2.9 line away from θ(a) toward the truncation/saturation question!).\n\n   Hmm wait, but that contradicts Suzuki's need for θ(a)... no — Suzuki needs θ(a) for the FUNCTION-level convergence e^{ϕ}W → F (the phases must align to get F = z²ξ/ξ′ and not e^{iθ}-rotated version). The zero SETS (spectra) for different θ are different lattices, but statistically equivalent. The measure convergence μ_{a,θ} ⇒ Σm_γδ_γ: as a→∞, the lattice densifies; each valley captures its atom(s) with total ≈1 IF exactly one atom... if two atoms in a valley, mass splits? or doubles? Valley mass measured 1.00 with <1 atom/valley average — so when an atom is near γ it carries ≈1.3, when slightly off... The measured mean is over γ's: some γ's have no atom within 0.1. Mass 1.0 average. Fine.\n\n   The point: residual = plateau atoms total weight — θ-independent statistically. So E-024's honest prediction: θ-sweep shows no significant θ-dependence in consolidation metrics; the real question is Δ(a) beyond saturation — motivating a=13+ or finer analysis of the saturation model. BUT — testing this prediction is itself scientifically decisive: if the θ-sweep SHOWS strong θ-dependence, my de Branges analysis is wrong somewhere and the θ-flow hope lives; if it shows independence, D-041's N3 story needs revision and the obstruction is purely the K-saturation (truncation depth).\n\n2'. Actually — wait. One more consideration before designing: is the WEIGHT formula 1/K(z_k,z_k) exactly right for our bordered (L²_0-constrained) Galerkin problem? The constraint modifies the space (codimension 1) — fine, K computed within it. OK.\n\n3. Also the measured Δ-saturation could be a TRUNCATION artifact: primes ≤ e^{2a}: zero localization accuracy ~ e^{−2a}? Δ(a) ≈ 3.33 − 4.76/a — no, e^{−2a} would give much faster approach. Or log(2a)? Meh.\n\nLet me first inspect the valley shape from E-022b CSV (quick), then design E-024.","signature":""},{"type":"text","text":"Proceeding with E-024 design.
