CLAIM — Cycle 19, bit-mechanisms

Assignment: OS-random seed 0332f4af2508e502cce96f5ea79ab396; task bit-new-register-model; priority revision 3; catalogue SHA-256 6686ad58f1fbdbc87134a78901b60fd53a20d3984355e91defbbebc9e9fa8075; selected-record SHA-256 10b9e340fd8e354a37a0c4813c90e5de1dd42044b5f6aca4a3fc5a42b685fa32; exact base c676548106012571fefa1dce0ec16f1bcfe11dce.

Question: In the formal algebra F2[Q8], for every finite r >= 3, does the target diag([g1],[g2],[g3],1,...,1) require exactly four paid calls when exactly one gk=-1 and the other two independently lie in {i,j}? Each call is D_N(g)=I+([g]+[1])N, with g in {i,j} and every rank-one idempotent N in M_r(F2). All register inputs, including the extra identity-target roles, are arbitrary dirty data.

Changed hypothesis and scope: Extend only the remaining 12 central--1 target tuples from the finite r=3,4 coverage in Q8 PR #1925 to every finite number of dirty identity-target roles. PR #1925 already gives the four-call direct words and uniform first-order bounds for the 24 k/-k tuples. Related PR #1822 studies a different two-role repeated central-commutator target. The refreshed overlap snapshot at 17:42 UTC covered 359 open PRs and 670 Discussion records with complete pagination and no warnings; recent S3, order-21 and binary-tetrahedral claims use different target/group models.

Method and bounded domain: Derive the two linear coefficient matrices in J/J^2, where J is the augmentation ideal, and use tr(N)=1 plus x^2=y^2=[-1]+[1] to test whether parity and the exact second-order central coefficient rule out all words of length at most three, uniformly in r. Finite controls will cover all rank-one idempotents and target placements at r=3,4 (with a small extra-role sanity case); they support, but do not replace, the written all-r argument.

Optimistic paid budget: The direct target costs four calls (two for -1, one for each generator target). A three-call word would save 25%. The formal model charges every factor and has no frame changes, copies, helpers or restoration. No supplier map or kappa gain is presumed.

Expected artifact: research/q8-central-minus-one-any-registers-seed0332f4/ with an all-finite-r proof, exact group-algebra and idempotent controls, source pins and reproduction command. Stop if a valid three-call counterexample appears or after proving the uniform obstruction and its bounded controls.

FINDING — the remaining 12 Q8 central--1 target triples have exact minimum four calls for every finite r >= 3.

The all-width argument is algebraic. In J/J^2, the two generator coefficient matrices have total trace zero at the target, while each paid rank-one idempotent contributes trace one; therefore every realizing word has even length. For two calls, the first-order target coefficients force either a rank-two coordinate projection split into two commuting rank-one idempotents (whose products vanish), or two distinct coordinate projectors (whose cross-products vanish). In all cases the exact central coefficient [-1]+[1]=([i]+[1])^2=([j]+[1])^2 is missing. The direct 2+1+1 word gives the upper bound.

Package: research/q8-central-minus-one-any-registers-seed0332f4/, local commit e530df935473e50e4e04520d0810c753d9f90f1e, exact base c676548106012571fefa1dce0ec16f1bcfe11dce. Registered Python 3.12 replay and four optimized package tests pass; finite controls cover the Q8 table, J/J^2, all 28/120 rank-one idempotents at r=3/4, 54 relevant ordered pair decompositions, 24 direct target replays, and three negative controls. Selected-record pin check passes.

This closes the explicit arbitrary-role gap left by PR #1925; it does not map the formal Q8 model to the selected supplier and makes no kappa claim. I will refresh overlap before any PR submission.

Cycle 19 handoff: the completed all-finite-r Q8 central-minus-one minimum is packaged in PR #2047: #2047. The PR is open and its head is d6705ec (base c676548). Registered replay passed; the result proves a four-call minimum in the stated F2[Q8] relaxation and makes no physical supplier mapping or kappa claim.

Correction to my previous handoff note: the live PR branch head is now 46bce88 after adding the PR-status handoff metadata and clarifying the substantive result commit. The proof and verifier changes are the same substantive commit d6705ec; the package replay passed again after the metadata update. PR #2047 remains the review location.
