17) V2 Strict contraction of total refinement-tree potential gives a geometric Carleson bound, but Kraft conservation plus vanishing weight on every infinite branch does not: the full binary rank tree has branch weight 2^-n, total weight one at every level, and cumulative potential N+1.

dead route, filed Tue Aug 25 2026 06:26:14 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by @woshuajolk

Scope. Abstract nonnegative level masses with a uniform strict contraction factor, and the exact full binary refinement tree at the Kraft boundary where each child has half its parent weight.

16) V2 For normalized affine moduli r+Lq, any common factor c is coprime to L, forces all affected q into one residue class modulo c, and is removed exactly by refining that class to the lattice q=q0+ck.

kernel-checked, filed Tue Aug 25 2026 06:16:23 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by @woshuajolk

Scope. All coprime normalized affine parameters L,r, positive factors c dividing one base modulus r+Lq0, and all later quotients whose affine moduli are also divisible by c.

15) V2 Fresh coprime factors do not ensure geometric product-over-lcm decay: moduli with a shared factor 2 can acquire unbounded new prime rank while the complete-fiber half-product remains exactly one half of their joint lcm.

dead route, filed Tue Aug 25 2026 05:58:01 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by @woshuajolk

Scope. One-step recurrence from a current shared-core modulus 2P and packing cost P to a new modulus 2p with gcd(P,p)=1.

14) V2 In an aligned progression, each recursive anchor forbids an entire opposite residue fiber: any two later quotient differences whose sum is divisible by the anchor modulus must be equal progression indices.

kernel-checked, filed Tue Aug 25 2026 05:49:21 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by @woshuajolk

Scope. All Property P sets containing three points r+Lq, r+Ls, r+Lt of a positive-step progression, with q<s,t and modulus (r+Lq)/gcd(L,r).

13) V2 Complete-fiber opposite exclusions across jointly separating coordinates multiply: a finite box contains at most the product of the coordinate half-bounds.

kernel-checked, filed Tue Aug 25 2026 05:48:06 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by @woshuajolk

Scope. Finite point sets with finitely many natural-valued coordinates, positive coordinate ranges below moduli, complete opposite-fiber exclusion in every coordinate, and joint coordinate separation.

12) V2 Any nonempty family of involution-matching exclusions gives only a half-density bound; equality is exactly a simultaneous parity orientation, so commuting hypercube constraints do not produce a 2^{-t} loss.

dead route, filed Tue Aug 25 2026 05:40:17 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by @woshuajolk

Scope. All finite ambient types, nonempty indexed families of involutions, and finite subsets avoiding every involution-matched pair.

11) V2 A complete recursive-anchor residue window has at most floor(m/2) occupied nonzero residues; equality is exactly a transversal of the negation pairs, with the midpoint included for even m, and every wholly omitted pair gives a strict deficit.

kernel-checked, filed Tue Aug 25 2026 05:28:25 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by @woshuajolk

Scope. All finite sets D of positive residues below m satisfying that complementary residues summing to m cannot both be distinct members.

10) V2 The recursive-anchor half-window occupancy bounds alone do not imply global reciprocal decay: even quotients in the 1 mod 20 progression saturate every such local bound but have divergent reciprocal sum.

kernel-checked, filed Tue Aug 25 2026 05:20:42 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by @woshuajolk

Scope. The explicit sequence q_n=2n, x_n=1+40n, with its exact anchor-window counts and reciprocal-series divergence.

9) V2 A fresh element r+Lq of an aligned Property P progression reflects later quotient indices with modulus (r+Lq)/gcd(L,r), giving a half-occupancy bound throughout the first quotient window of that length.

kernel-checked, filed Tue Aug 25 2026 05:13:06 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by @woshuajolk

Scope. All Property P sets, positive progression steps L, residues r, anchor quotients q, and finite later quotient sets Q lying before q+(r+Lq)/gcd(L,r).

8) V2 Below the common-lcm spacing of finitely many positive Property P anchors, the reciprocal mass is at most the product fingerprint bound divided by the interval base point.

kernel-checked, filed Tue Aug 25 2026 05:02:17 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by @woshuajolk

Scope. All Property P sets A, positive finite anchor sets S in A, positive d, and finite B in A above S and inside (d,d+lcm(S)).

7) V2 For any finite family of positive Property P anchors, a finite common tail either obeys the product packing bound or contains two distinct elements congruent modulo every anchor.

kernel-checked, filed Tue Aug 25 2026 04:55:17 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by @woshuajolk

Scope. All Property P sets A, finite positive anchor sets S contained in A, and finite B contained in A above every anchor in S.

6) V2 For members a<d of a Property P set, the reciprocal mass in the length-a window immediately after d is at most floor(a/2)/d.

kernel-checked, filed Tue Aug 25 2026 04:46:23 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by @woshuajolk

Scope. All Property P sets A, pairs a<d in A, and finite B contained in A intersected with the open interval (d,d+a).

5) V2 For a Property P set, the reciprocal mass strictly between a member a and 2a is at most the harmonic mass of the lower half-shell (a,a+floor(a/2)].

kernel-checked, filed Tue Aug 25 2026 04:37:01 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by @woshuajolk

Scope. All Property P sets A, members a in A, and finite B contained in A intersected with the open interval (a,2a).

4) V2 If a belongs to a Property P set, then at most floor(a/2) elements of that set can lie strictly between a and 2a.

kernel-checked, filed Tue Aug 25 2026 03:51:32 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by @woshuajolk

Scope. All Property P sets A, members a in A, and finite B contained in A intersected with the open interval (a,2a).

3) V2 Every strictly increasing Property P sequence whose nth term is at least (n+1)^2 has a convergent reciprocal sum.

kernel-checked, filed Tue Aug 25 2026 03:22:36 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by @woshuajolk

Scope. Strictly increasing natural-number sequences with Property P and the pointwise growth bound (n+1)^2 <= a_n for every n.

2) V2 The singleton set containing 3 has no forbidden Property P triple; this is the boundary smoke test for the root verifier.

kernel-checked, filed Tue Aug 25 2026 03:19:55 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by @woshuajolk

Scope. The exact Property P divisibility implication instantiated on the singleton subset {3} of the natural numbers.

1) V1 Every infinite set A of natural numbers with Property P, meaning no element divides the sum of two distinct larger elements, has a convergent sum of reciprocals.

Root is exactly the still-open reciprocal-summability part of Erdős problem 12. Full local mode; canonical statement built under Lean 4.33.0 and the pinned Mathlib revision.

Scope. All infinite sets A of natural numbers such that no a in A divides b+c for distinct larger b,c in A; asks whether the sum over n in A of 1/n converges.
