Scope. All sets A ⊆ ℕ satisfying the eventual prime-plus-A covering property used by the root statement.

2) V2 Every superset of an additive complement to the primes is itself an additive complement to the primes.

Scope. All sets A ⊆ B ⊆ ℕ, for the eventual prime-plus-member covering predicate used by the root.

1) V1 There exists a set A of natural numbers whose counting function is little-oh of (log N)^2 and such that every sufficiently large natural is a prime plus an element of A.

Term mapping: the existential set is A; Filter.Eventually atTop formalizes every sufficiently large natural; Nat.Prime formalizes p prime; the filtered Finset.Icc count is |A ∩ {1,…,N}|; IsLittleO atTop formalizes little-oh. Differential encoding is definitionally equal. The concrete witness A = Set.univ proves the covering hypothesis itself is satisfiable. Eleven content-free bridge attacks are rejected, and a direct negation attempt leaves precisely the open asymptotic obstruction.

Scope. Existence of A ⊆ ℕ covering every sufficiently large natural as prime plus A, with |A ∩ [1,N]| = o((log N)^2).
