0. Trust boundary
This paper continues directly from CSM_RH Paper 45.
The inherited residual core is
where
and the admission target remains
Paper 45 proved an exact factorisation-space Ramaré marking identity and removed the large common-prime and repeated-large-prime branches at the stronger scale
It also isolated two hard coefficient families:
- a rough marked affine prime-Liouville branch;
- a no-large-prime smooth-carrier branch.
WL3 asks whether the exact convolution structure of
contains an , dispersion, or factor-decoupling reserve large enough to supply a fixed power of .
No claim of RH, no fixed zero-free strip, and no pointwise fixed-power Mertens or Liouville estimate is made.
1. Factorisation-space notation
As before,
and
Define
Then
The corresponding signed coefficient is
and, by Paper 43,
Define the polynomial prime threshold
Split the structured weight into
and
At exponent resolution the distinction between strict and non-strict endpoint conventions is harmless.
2. Total mass of the structured weight
For every fixed dyadic interval,
Therefore
The support of lies in a fixed multiplicative enlargement of the dyadic block . Hence the number of possible support integers is
Cauchy-Schwarz gives
Consequently,
On the other hand,
and the fixed- divisor second moment gives
Thus:
Theorem 2.1 — Natural scale of the pure-core structured weight
Equivalently,
For the normalized Dirichlet coefficient
this becomes

CERTIFIED
The structured weight is not an -small perturbation.
3. Smooth carrier has full exponent energy
Paper 45 constructed a fixed integer and a legal smooth factorisation subfamily for which
and
Since the support still has possible integers,
Hence
Theorem 3.1 — Smooth-carrier full exponent energy
The upper bound from Theorem 2.1 gives
at exponent resolution.
Thus the no-large-prime branch cannot be discarded through coefficient sparsity or coefficient energy.
4. A sign-coherent smooth subweight also has full exponent energy
Let
count only the legal tuples in the explicit Paper 45 construction in which each factor is a product of exactly primes from its prescribed small-prime interval.
Every such tuple has
counted with multiplicity. Therefore on the support of ,
Also,
and Paper 45 gives
The same Cauchy-Schwarz argument yields
Theorem 4.1 — Sign-coherent smooth subweight has full exponent energy
Therefore any WL3 mechanism that first replaces the Liouville sign by an absolute value, or expects the nonnegative factorisation weight itself to create a fixed-power cancellation, has no coefficient-side power reserve on this explicit subfamily.
This theorem does not assert a nonzero shifted two-point correlation for . It is a method-scope statement about positivity and one-variable coefficient decoupling.
5. Rough carrier is also not power-sparse
The rough branch admits an elementary full-exponent construction independent of the smooth construction.
Fix one factor position .
Choose a small fixed . Take primes
Since
we have
For each such prime choose a squarefree integer from a fixed relative interval of scale
such that
and
For all , choose arbitrary squarefree
and impose
The latter condition removes only a negligible proportion because .
The prime number theorem on the fixed relative prime interval gives
For each such prime there are
legal choices of and
choices for the remaining factors.
Therefore the number of legal tuples in this one-large-prime family is
Every tuple has
and the selected prime occurs exactly once.
Thus
Theorem 5.1 — Rough non-repeated carrier has full exponent mass
Consequently,
Corollary 5.2 — Rough carrier has full exponent energy
The rough and smooth branches therefore both survive at full -exponent in coefficient energy.

6. Polynomial-prime marking has bounded fibre multiplicity
Let
For every
we have
Hence
Thus a coefficient at scale carries only
prime occurrences above the fixed polynomial threshold.
The exact Paper 45 marking decomposition is
on the rough branch, where
when the denominator is nonzero.
For fixed , the number of nonzero pairs is at most
Pointwise Cauchy-Schwarz gives
Since the are nonnegative,
Therefore:

On the rough branch,
The exact polynomial-prime marking decomposition changes the total coefficient energy by at most a constant depending on and .

This is the counterpart of the prime-harmonic leverage barrier from Paper 45.
7. Fixed exponent prime bands carry full marked energy
The bounded-multiplicity statement can be strengthened on any genuine polynomial sub-band.
Choose fixed exponents
Let
Fix a factor position .
For every
the one-prime-removed weight has total mass
Its support has
possible integers.
Hence
Summing over the fixed exponent band and using Mertens' theorem,
Therefore:
Theorem 7.1 — Polynomial marked band has natural total energy
The corresponding divisor-moment upper bound is
Thus the raw marked family itself carries natural -scale energy. There is no hidden coefficient-energy gain after summing over polynomially many prime locations.
8. The multiplicity-leverage closure
Paper 45 proved the prime-harmonic tradeoff:
whereas
Theorem 6.1 now adds:
Therefore the two natural decoupling resources cannot both grow.
If one keeps
with fixed
then:
- prime-size leverage is polynomial;
- prime-harmonic mass is ;
- mark multiplicity per coefficient is ;
- marked energy remains at the natural exponent.
If one lowers the threshold until the number of usable marks or the harmonic mass grows, then
and any gain based only on a fixed power of is

This closes the possibility that WL2 merely needed an reinterpretation of the same polynomial prime marking.
9. What a pure coefficient-energy proof would need
Let denote either the smooth or rough coefficient branch and define
The normalized coefficient is
Since
A generic Dirichlet-polynomial mean-value or large-sieve inequality at length has coefficient-energy scale
Because
in the present application, this is
To obtain the admission target purely from coefficient energy would require
But Theorems 3.1 and 5.2 give
and
Thus no argument whose only quantitative reserve is small coefficient energy can provide the required fixed power.

This does not rule out an operator estimate that uses genuine Liouville arithmetic. It rules out obtaining the target by treating or its marked descendants as unusually low-energy weights.
10. Exact factor bipartitions
The convolution can be split across any nonempty proper subset of factor positions.
Let
Define
Then
For the signed coefficient define
so
Let the two product scales be
with
Without loss of generality orient the split so that
Then
11. A factor split returns a determinant fibre
Expand a fixed shifted product.
Ignoring the harmless smooth kernel and the normalization for the moment, the signed correlation contains
Thus every factor bipartition returns the determinant incidence equation
Fix
and let
Solutions exist only if
When they exist, the solutions form one affine lattice fibre with step sizes
Because
the number of solutions on that fibre is
Summing over the outer variables gives
The classical gcd average satisfies
Therefore
Since
we obtain
Theorem 11.1 — Factorisation-bipartition fibre-volume conservation
For every factor bipartition,
uniformly in the inherited shift range.
The same bound survives the structured convolution multiplicities because fixed-order divisor weights are on this support.

This generalizes the one-coordinate determinant fibre already visible in Papers 43–45.
12. Why the apparent long fibre gives no geometric fixed power
For a generic coprime pair
a single fibre has length approximately
There are approximately
outer pairs.
Thus the leading geometric volume is
The gcd average changes this only by a logarithm.
Hence splitting off a short convolution coordinate does create a long affine parameter, but the number of fibres grows by the reciprocal amount. At exponent resolution the two effects cancel exactly.
After restoring the normalization
one fixed shift has absolute geometric scale
The number of relevant shifts is
Multiplying by the outer factor returns
The desired bound is instead
Thus the absolute-value determinant geometry still lands at the old orthogonality floor.

13. Preserving the signs returns genuine Mobius arithmetic
The signed factor split is not identical to the unsigned count.
For example, splitting off one factor position gives
The fixed-shift correlation then contains sums of the form
Therefore a successful improvement beyond Theorem 11.1 must exploit cancellation in the exposed Mobius variables or in a higher structured coupling.
If one takes absolute values or applies Cauchy-Schwarz until the Mobius signs disappear, Theorems 2.1–12.1 return the natural energy/incidence scale.
If one keeps the signs, the problem has not been decoupled into a purely weight-theoretic estimate. It has returned to a short-Mobius or affine-Liouville correlation problem.

SIGNED_FACTOR_DECOUPLING_RETURNS_MOBIUS_PARITY_NOT_WEIGHT_SMALLNESS
CERTIFIED AS STRUCTURAL REDUCTION
This is not a theorem that all future factor-splitting arguments fail. It identifies the exact point at which WL3 stops being a structured-weight problem and becomes an arithmetic-cancellation problem again.
14. Current quantitative literature calibration
The present conclusion is compatible with the strongest nearby unconditional results.
Matomaki and Teravainen use Ramaré extraction to obtain cancellation of the Mobius function in all intervals of length for . The normalized conclusion is qualitative , not a fixed power of the ambient variable.
Helfgott and Radziwill obtain strong expansion for a divisibility-by-primes graph. Its quantitative resource is the harmonic prime mass
and the resulting Liouville correlation gain is logarithmic.
Recent quantitative Gowers-uniformity and polynomial-pattern results give arbitrary powers of logarithm for broad Mobius and Liouville polynomial averages. This is a major strengthening of qualitative cancellation, but it is still not a fixed power of .
The 2026 growing-shift logarithmic Chowla results likewise give power-logarithmic cancellation, not the single-dyadic, structured-weight estimate
required here.
Accordingly, WL3 does not import any external theorem whose precision is weaker than the Campaign 43 admission ledger.
15. WL3 required-check audit
Required check 1 — separate smooth and rough carriers
Completed.
The smooth branch has
at exponent resolution.
The rough branch has
at exponent resolution.
Neither branch is power-negligible by coefficient mass or energy.
Required check 2 — preserve the exact convolution
Completed.
All energy identities are derived from
without replacing by a generic coefficient until an explicitly labelled divisor-moment upper bound.
Required check 3 — audit energy of and marked weights
Completed.
Polynomial-prime marking preserves rough-branch energy up to .
A fixed polynomial prime sub-band carries natural total marked energy
Required check 4 — sign-coherent smooth subfamily
Completed.
There is an explicit nonnegative subweight with
on its support and
Thus positivity or absolute-value decoupling cannot extract a fixed power from the smooth coefficient itself.
Required check 5 — no external -scale averaging
Satisfied.
Every estimate remains on the inherited single dyadic -scale.
Required check 6 — fixed-power ledger
Satisfied.
All coefficient-energy, mark-multiplicity, and determinant-volume gains are at most constants or logarithms at exponent resolution.
No step promotes
to
Required check 7 — create a new long averaging variable
Audited.
A factor split creates affine fibres of length approximately
but also approximately outer fibres. The total geometric volume remains
No fixed-power gain is obtained without using genuine Mobius/Liouville cancellation.
16. WL3 rejection list
The following routes are rejected inside WL3.
R1. Treat as -small
Rejected by Theorem 2.1.
R2. Discard the smooth carrier as sparse
Rejected by Theorems 3.1 and 4.1.
R3. Assume the rough carrier is sparse after removing common and repeated large primes
Rejected at coefficient-energy level by Theorem 5.1 and Corollary 5.2.
R4. Expect polynomial-prime marking to create polynomially many orthogonal pieces per coefficient
Rejected by Theorem 6.1.
R5. Sum the marked pieces and claim a energy gain
Rejected by Theorem 7.1.
R6. Split one or several convolution factors and count determinant fibres absolutely
Rejected by Theorems 11.1 and 12.1.
R7. Remove the exposed Mobius signs and still claim the signed problem was solved
Rejected by Section 13.
R8. Use power-logarithmic literature as a fixed- -power theorem
Rejected by the admission ledger.
17. WL3 closure
WL3 has produced a complete coefficient-side and factorisation-side audit.
The exact convolution structure is useful for organizing the residual problem, but it does not contain a hidden fixed-power reserve of any of the following forms:
- low total energy;
- power-sparse smooth support;
- power-sparse rough support;
- growing orthogonal multiplicity from polynomial-prime marks;
- absolute determinant-fibre volume reduction.
The only remaining possible gain after a legal factor split must use arithmetic cancellation that survives the full structured coupling.
Thus WL3 closes as

Campaign 43 remains active.
No fixed-power theorem is proved.
18. Campaign 43 continuation
The next live track is WL4:
CROSS_J_PRE_SQUARE_RECOMBINATION
This route returns to the exact Heath-Brown identity before componentwise triangle inequalities and before componentwise Type-II squaring.
The Heath-Brown levels carry alternating coefficients
Paper 41 explicitly left open the possibility that cross- recombination suppresses the pure-Mobius core before componentwise estimation.
WL4 must therefore determine whether the Paper 41 pure-core component is an artifact of estimating each -level separately or whether it survives any legal pre-square recombination.
Required WL4 checks:
- reconstruct the relevant Heath-Brown -levels before componentwise absolute values;
- identify which dyadic pure-Mobius components at different have overlapping product support;
- compute cross- terms at the translated frequency rather than assuming cancellation from alternating signs;
- preserve the single dyadic -scale and the major-arc geometry;
- quantify any overlap or cancellation with a fixed -power ledger;
- reject cancellation that appears only after replacing unequal dyadic components by identical formal symbols;
- if recombination reconstructs a simpler Lambda-level object, compare it directly with the root frontier -RH-010 rather than hiding the recoupling.
