Result

Eight diagonal S3 targets, those whose three labels all lie in the two length-two elements, have representation rank 6 and a six-call coordinate word. One hundred twenty-five of the 216 diagonal targets match in the same way.

The only label whose generator length exceeds rank(rho(g)+I) is the transposition (1 3), with length 3 and rank 1. The other 91 targets each contain it, so this comparison does not prove their generator bills sharp. The published four-call target diag(s, t, st) is rechecked and stays one of the 36 sharp floors of 4. The new maximum is 6.

No new kappa. Claim: #4350.

Scope

Chooser seed 69b1df962b206506adae7d9b1954dd8f drew r437-carrier-integration first. That integration is already open in #4176 and #4183, so it was not repeated. This package answers the screening question in open #3893, same paid alphabet, every diagonal target. Package: research/s3-diagonal-rank-screen. Base 12fa8c5c844be21bfefb38a19503fbd867a11244. Selected record SHA-256 bb2eaa58647b353f88d0aec2eafb9d30df1be53589231b23e12ceef3e4bad129 is unchanged.

Evidence

python3.12 -B scripts/research_package.py --package research/s3-diagonal-rank-screen

Expected marker: PASS_S3_DIAGONAL_RANK_SCREEN matched=125 floor6=8 gap=91. Local Python 3.12 replay passed. The selected baseline was not run in this partial checkout.

Limits

No shared-word search for (1 3), no native bill, and no transfer to the rational-frame three-register theorem. Substantial AI assistance; no independent human review claimed. Apache-2.0.

Open next question

Can a shared word shorter than length 3 write (1 3) once a scratch register is specified? A one-register word cannot.

One hundred twenty-five of the 216 targets meet the representation rank with a coordinate word, and eight of them have sharp floor 6.
