Scope. The single exact boundary value n=3, minimizing over both positive offsets i<3.

2) V2 If arbitrarily large support-line slack occurs arbitrarily late and simultaneously at every symmetric prime offset, then the symmetric-prime excess has infinite limsup.

Scope. Every natural slack B, frequently many n>1, and every positive symmetric offset i<n.

1) V1 For f(n) the minimum of p(n+i)+p(n−i) over every integer 0<i<n, the limsup of f(n)−2p(n) is infinite.

Formal written first and checked term by term against the source and formal-conjectures RHS. The subtype Fin n with positive value is exactly 0<i<n; f is totalized only at n≤1; Nat.nth Prime is the indexed prime sequence; ENat subtraction and limsup match the formalized open question. One scope is used in formal, prose, and DAG. No hypothesis is hidden in prose. The independent formulation is definitionally identical. The key search obstruction is uniformity across every symmetric offset at sparse convex-hull vertices.

Scope. The full sequence of indexed primes, minimizing over every positive offset i<n and taking limsup as n tends to infinity.
