Paper 21 introduced PDSD as a sufficient prime-side mechanism:
a constant decorrelation gap on a positive density of dyadic lag scales generates a fixed power.
The present campaign asks whether current prime technology or deterministic multiscale geometry can prove that mechanism.
The result is:
exact cumulative contraction mass:
certified
current unconditional contraction mass:
sublinear in log X
pure finite-support geometry:
only vanishing relative gaps
smooth low-frequency drift:
explicit critical-locking countermodel
current average prime-pair technology:
no fixed relative adjacent-scale gap
PDSD:
open
The paper also corrects an earlier range restriction: the residue-chain bridge permits every fixed , not only .
1. Dyadic lag energy
Let
on a finite dyadic prime block and extend by zero outside the chosen block.
Define
and
The exact two-scale relation from Paper 21 is
where
2. Exact dyadic defect
Define
Then:
Theorem 2.1 — Exact Adjacent-Block Defect Identity
Proof
Expand:
Thus critical locking means that adjacent length- prime-error blocks are nearly identical in .
3. Exact local contraction coefficient
For scales with , define
Then
and
Moreover,
This is exact.
4. Exact cumulative contraction mass
Let
Define
with the convention that if one of the ratios vanishes.
Then:
Theorem 4.1 — Exact Contraction-Mass Telescoping Law
Equivalently,
This is the exact prime-side realization of the abstract cumulative contraction mass introduced in Paper 06.
5. Minimal multiscale fixed-power condition
Suppose
Then a fixed-power bound
is obtained whenever
Conversely, if
then the scale chain by itself yields only
up to the initial subpolynomial factor.
Thus the exact threshold remains:
PDSD is one sufficient mechanism for producing this linear mass.
6. PDSD is sufficient but not necessary
Paper 21 requires that on a positive density of scales,
Then
which is linear in .
However linear cumulative contraction can also arise from nonuniform gaps.
Therefore:
PDSD
sufficient
linear cumulative contraction mass
exact minimal scale-dynamical condition
The latter is a diagnostic identity, not a new canonical frontier.
7. Initial-scale normalization
At unit lag,
on the chosen dyadic prime block.
The prime number theorem gives
Hence
Thus unit scale supplies only a logarithmic initial cost.
8. Current unconditional contraction mass
Current Guth–Maynard large-value technology gives, after the standard explicit-formula argument, a subpower saving for almost-all short intervals at every fixed scale
At exponent-resolution level this has the form
after localization and absorption of standard boundary/logarithmic factors.
Combining with
and Theorem 4.1 yields:
Proposition 8.1 — Current Sublinear Escape
For such a target scale,
Thus current technology proves genuine escape from complete dyadic locking.
But
Therefore it does not reach fixed-power contraction mass.
The precise root-log exponent is not the structural issue.
The structural gap is:
9. Endpoint control does not imply positive-density good scales
A lower bound on the total mass
does not determine how that contraction is distributed among the scales.
The entire sublinear mass could, in principle, be concentrated in a sparse collection of scales.
Therefore the current endpoint short-interval theorem does not imply PDSD.
In particular,
does not imply that a fixed positive proportion of the
scales have a fixed contraction gap.
10. Deterministic finite-support Poincare gap
The critical-locking condition also has a purely functional-analytic lower bound.
Let be any nonzero sequence supported on an interval of length .
For shift , decompose the sequence into residue classes modulo .
Each residue class is a finite path of length
The discrete Dirichlet Poincare inequality gives
Apply this to
Then:
Theorem 10.1 — Universal Finite-Support Defect
This proves that perfect locking is impossible for a nonzero finite sequence.
But the gap vanishes as .
11. Deterministic gap is exponent-insufficient
Let
for fixed
The universal Poincare gaps contribute at most the scale order
This tends to zero.
Therefore finite support alone supplies no linear cumulative contraction mass.

12. Smooth-drift critical-locking model
The preceding phenomenon is not merely an artifact of a weak Poincare inequality.
Consider a smooth power mode on a dyadic physical interval:
where is fixed.
Let
For
Taylor expansion gives
Hence
Therefore:
Proposition 12.1 — Smooth Drift Locks Adjacent Scales
For fixed ,
Thus a smooth power mode is asymptotically maximally correlated across adjacent short intervals.
13. Interpretation for a fixed zeta-zero mode
A fixed explicit-formula zero mode has the form
up to its coefficient.
Therefore, at every sublinear scale
one fixed zero mode is a scale-locked low-frequency drift in the sense of Proposition 12.1.
This explains structurally why no universal deterministic theorem can prove a fixed PDSD gap:
arbitrary smooth low-frequency modes
are legal functional-analytic inputs
PDSD
must use arithmetic information which excludes their dominance
Paper 20 has already certified that a sufficiently strong prime-side theorem would exclude the corresponding zeta pole.
14. Strength calibration against conjectural prime noise
The Montgomery–Soundararajan variance prediction gives the prime-noise scale
A fixed zero with real part contributes the lag-energy scale
at exponent level.
For
the zero mode dominates the conjectural noise when
that is,
This reproduces the fixed-strip scale naturally associated with short-interval mean square.
This subsection is plausibility/strength calibration only.
It is not used as a proof.
15. Average Hardy–Littlewood covariance audit
The adjacent covariance has the exact prime-correlation expansion
where is a triangular kernel centered at .
Current averaged Hardy–Littlewood theorems give wide shift coverage with arbitrary logarithmic accuracy.
After the triangular weight is inserted, their direct error scale remains too large to compare to by a fixed relative constant in polynomial ranges.
In addition, unconditional asymptotics for the prime short-interval variance itself remain largely unknown.
Therefore Track D1 does not currently prove PDSD.
16. Spectral octave audit
Paper 21 gives
Thus a PDSD good scale is a lower bound on a positive octave-defect energy relative to the low-pass energy.
This is the cleanest spectral formulation of the local problem.
But current principal-arc estimates give only subpower global escape.
No fixed relative octave lower bound is known on a positive density of polynomial dyadic scales.
Track D2 therefore remains open.
17. Variance-lower-bound audit
To prove
one needs simultaneous information on:
the signed two-block defect;
the one-block variance scale.
Existing lower-bound methods and conditional variance results do not currently provide the required unconditional fixed relative comparison throughout a positive density of polynomial scales.
Recent literature continues to emphasize that very little is known unconditionally about asymptotics for the variance of primes in short intervals.
Track D3 therefore does not close PDSD.
18. Long critical locking audit
Assume
for many consecutive dyadic scales.
Then
in .
This says the cumulative prime error behaves approximately like a low-curvature drift on those scales.
Proposition 12.1 shows that smooth power modes realize exactly this behavior.
Therefore a contradiction cannot come from multiscale geometry alone.
It must use arithmetic information showing that the centered von Mangoldt sequence has enough irreducible octave energy.
Track D5 is therefore reduced to a new arithmetic spectral lower-bound problem.
19. Correction to the MLEPG lag range
Paper 17 and Paper 21 imposed the convenient restriction
The residue-chain exponent ledger actually gives the three global terms
A positive global exponent gain exists provided
because the third term allows
Therefore the correct admissible range for the abstract deterministic bridge is:
Create:
COR-RH-001
MLEPG_ALPHA_RANGE_CORRECTION
old:
alpha < 2/3
correct:
alpha < 1
global exponent cap:
kappa < min(alpha, delta, 2-2alpha)
The earlier restriction was sufficient but unnecessarily strong.

Create:
O-RH-048
SMOOTH_LOW_FREQUENCY_CRITICAL_LOCKING
status:
CERTIFIED AS COUNTERMODEL TO PURELY DETERMINISTIC GAP PROOFS
Statement:
Smooth power-law cumulative-error modes have adjacent-block defect only of order relative to their lag energy for . A fixed dyadic decorrelation gap therefore cannot follow from finite support, centering, or multiscale geometry alone.
22. PDSD status
PDSD remains a legitimate fixed-power generator because:
its hypothesis contains no X-power;
its fixed power is generated by iteration;
its bridge to MLEPG and Mellin pole recovery is certified.
But Campaign 21 finds no current unconditional theorem proving it.
It remains:

23. Campaign 22
The next campaign is:
CSM_RH Campaign 22
ARITHMETIC_OCTAVE_DEFECT_ATTACK
It does not create another target.
It attacks the exact positive defect
The objective is to find arithmetic information which forces enough defect mass across logarithmically many scales.
24. Campaign 22 tracks
O1 — centered-prime diagonal injection
Separate the prime diagonal contribution to the two-block defect and determine exactly what signed off-diagonal theorem is required to cancel it.
O2 — sieve lower bound for octave defect
Adapt lower-bound divisor-sum methods directly to rather than to the ordinary short-interval variance.
O3 — all-scale Hardy–Littlewood assembly
Sum the defect over many dyadic scales before applying absolute values to correlation errors.
Test whether the multiscale kernel has cancellations unavailable at one scale.
O4 — spectral Littlewood–Paley prime energy
Construct a rigorous band-energy lower bound for the centered von Mangoldt exponential sum across dyadic frequency octaves.
The bound must be arithmetic, not a generic uncertainty principle.
O5 — locking rigidity plus prime jumps
Assume small defect on many scales and combine the resulting low-curvature structure with the exact jump sequence
Test whether the large diagonal energy
forces octave escape.
25. Campaign 22 rejection filters
Reject a candidate if:
R1. It uses only finite-support Poincare.
R2. It treats the conjectural prime variance as proved.
R3. It inserts a fixed zero-free strip.
R4. It obtains only the already known sublinear contraction mass.
R5. It proves octave defect only at finitely many scales independent of .
R6. It replaces a relative defect bound by an absolute bound too small to compare with .
26. External calibration
Relevant current context:
Guth–Maynard's 2026 large-value theorem gives the zero-density exponent and almost-all short-interval prime asymptotics down to exponent , with subpower exponential accuracy rather than fixed-power accuracy.
Montgomery–Soundararajan predict prime short-interval variance of order in polynomial ranges, which predicts strong adjacent-block decorrelation.
Gorodetsky's 2024 work emphasizes that unconditional asymptotics for the variance of primes in short intervals remain largely unknown.
Leung's 2026 theorem obtains weak negative correlations for prime counts in multiple short intervals under RH and linear-independence hypotheses, providing conditional plausibility for adjacent-block decorrelation.
None proves the arithmetic octave defect required here.
