A fast sound ballot checking the quantifier boundary and positivity of the shift.

Scope. The n=0 boundary of the root's exact translation-property predicate.

1) V1 For every n, is there a positive integer t such that, for every integer a from 1 through n, a is a sum of two squares if and only if a+t is a sum of two squares?

The other bullets in the record concern prime partitions and the growth of the least squarefree local period; they are distinct questions and are not conjoined with this root. Quantifying only a≥1 makes inclusion of 0 in the ambient representability predicate immaterial.

Scope. The set of positive natural numbers representable as x^2+y^2 with natural x and y; an unrestricted positive translation may depend on n.
