From 6da0715054c5f2a92f23182f2189e205aed1237d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 11:40:04 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Add Theorem E3: the elder lifetime density to third order (d >= 2) nu_eld = c l^(-1/3) + c1 l^(1/4) + O(l^(1/3)) (a rate for #207's (CU.1)); nu_eld >= c l^(-1/3) + c1 l^(1/4) + c2 l^(1/3) - C l^(4/11); and, with #187's Theorem F, nu_eld = c l^(-1/3) + c1 l^(1/4) + c2 l^(1/3) + o(l^(1/3)). Corollary: rates and bounds for the rejected density; under #187 it has no l^(1/3) term. New: Lemma CU.1' (Xi-weighted Taylor bounds), Lemma S (Schur complements), Lemma Q (the elder decision with explicit margins), Lemma G (Gaussian comparisons), Lemma CE (the elder cusp kernel with the candidate rate O(r(1 + kappa)^2)), Lemma O' (elder overlap), Lemma B' (intermediate elder separations). Stdlib exact checker e3_check.py (X1-X7, mutants M1-M5); workflow binds 7 merged and 7 unmerged sources by head, path and blob. Author-side proof candidate; scientific effect NONE; nonauthor review required. Clean-context same-family referee: ACCEPT WITH MINOR FIXES (all applied), delta check ACCEPT.

(E3.3) identifies the third coefficient +of the elder law with the `c₂` that Math- #216 defines and computes (`0.22152441` in `d = 2`, `0.16123405` in `d = 3` +for the Gaussian kernel; numerical approximations, not certified). + +**How it works.** The decomposition is that of Theorem T (#218 §4), with the elder kernel in place of the candidate +kernel. +- *Fold scale `r ≍ ℓ^{1/3}`.* The elder deficit `A_r − A_r^{eld}` is at most `Cr³/k` ([C7-K] (K2)), which contributes + `O(ρ_f⁵/ℓ)`, the same order as the boundary layer of #218 Lemma F. So the fold region gives `c₂ℓ^{1/3}` exactly as + for the candidate density. +- *Cusp scale `r ≍ ℓ^{1/4}`.* Lemma CE gives the elder cusp kernel with the candidate rate, `O(r(1 + κ)²)`. Its new + input is Lemma Q, a quantitative form of #207's Proposition CU.3: the elder decision is correct as soon as the rescaled + ridge is within `(3/2)κ||φ| − 1/3|` of the model ridge in `C⁰` and within `κ/4` in `C²`. Both distances are + `O(𝒩r(1 + |γ|/λ)²)`, where `λ` is the transverse concavity and `𝒩` bounds the `C⁵` norm. A wrong decision therefore needs `φ` in a window of width + `O(𝒩r(1 + |γ|/λ)²/κ)` or a small `λ`, and the weight `36κ²Δ²` pays for both: `Δ² ≤ λ²‖A‖^{2m−2}` cancels the `1/λ²`. +- *Overlap.* Lemma O′: `𝒜^{cand} − 𝒜^{eld} = O(1/κ)`, so the elder cusp loss tends to `A₂(b, 0)` at rate `1/κ`, as the + candidate loss does (#218 Lemma O). The overlap cancellation of #218 §4 goes through unchanged. +- *Intermediate separations `ℓ^{1/5} ≤ r ≤ r₁`.* Lemma B′ multiplies three facts: #198's barrier for the elder mark + (`|det K_M| ≤ Cℓ^{1/3}K^{d−1/3}/r`), the sign window for `det K_S`, and #207 CU.5's bound on the typed probability. The + result is `Cℓ^{1/3}r₁^β`, small with `r₁`. Below `ℓ^{1/5}`, #207's (5.1) suffices. +- *Far separations.* #198 Lemma F′ gives `O(ℓ^{1/3})`, which proves (E3.1). #187 gives `O(ℓ^{2/3})`, and letting + `r₁ ↓ 0` after `ℓ ↓ 0` proves (E3.3). + +**What is not claimed.** +- No rate in (E3.3). A rate would follow from a far bound with explicit dependence on the separation, + `C(ρ) ≤ Cρ^{−p}` (Remark 2). +- (E3.3) is conditional on #187, an unmerged author-side candidate. (E3.1), (E3.2) and Corollary E3′(1)–(2) do not use it. +- No certified numerical value of `c`, `c₁`, `c₂`, `I^{cand}` or `B_{d,L}`. +- No uniformity in `d` or `L`; no finite-radius band; no statement about the adjacent-pair density, which #216 also + measures. +- Nothing beyond the existential scope of [R], [Z], [C7-K], #191, #198, #207, #218 and (for (E3.3)) #187. + +## 1. The elder decision, quantitatively + +This section is deterministic. Fix `f ∈ C⁵(X)` and `𝒩 ≥ max(1, ‖f‖_{C⁵})`, where `‖f‖_{C^q}` is the supremum over `X` +of the operator norms of the derivatives of order `≤ q`. Let `0 < r ≤ r_Q := min{1/10, r_L}`, where `r_L` is the +positive root of `6r + 10r² = L/8`; let `κ > 0`, and let `M = −ru/2`, `S = ru/2` be +critical points with `f(M) = b`, `f(S) = b − κr⁴`. In the frame `(u, Θ)` put `Φ(X, Ξ) := rXu + r²ΘΞ`, +`𝔉 := r^{−4}(f∘Φ − b)`, and let `(f₄, γ, A)` be the jets of `f` at `0` and `𝔓` the cusp polynomial (#207 (0.2)) built +from them: + + 𝔓(X, Ξ) = 2κ(X + ½)²(X − 1) + (f₄/24)(X² − ¼)² + ½(X² − ¼)γ·Ξ + ½ΞᵀAΞ. + +When `A < 0`, `Ξ*(X) := −½(X² − ¼)A^{−1}γ` and `g(X) := 𝔓(X, Ξ*(X)) = κ[2(X + ½)²(X − 1) + 3φ(X² − ¼)²]` with +`φ := (f₄ − 3γᵀA^{−1}γ)/(72κ)` (#207 Theorem CU.2 (a)). + +**Lemma CU.1′ (weighted Taylor bounds).** There is `C₁ = C₁(d)` such that on `{|X| ≤ 3, r|Ξ| ≤ 1}` + + |𝔉 − 𝔓|, |∂_X(𝔉 − 𝔓)| ≤ C₁𝒩r(1 + |Ξ|)², |∂_Ξ(𝔉 − 𝔓)|, |∂_X²(𝔉 − 𝔓)|, |∂_X∂_Ξ(𝔉 − 𝔓)| ≤ C₁𝒩r(1 + |Ξ|), ‖∂_Ξ²(𝔉 − 𝔓)‖ ≤ C₁𝒩r. (1.1) + +*Proof.* Follow the proof of #207 Theorem CU.1, keeping track of `Ξ`. There are three sources of `𝔉 − 𝔓`. +- *Pin corrections.* The pinned jets differ from the values that produce `𝔓` by `O(𝒩r⁵)` (`ϑ₀ − b`), `O(𝒩r⁴)` (`ϑ₁`), + `O(𝒩r³)` (`ϑ₂`), `O(𝒩r²)` (`ϑ₃`), `O(𝒩r⁴)` (`ψ₀`) and `O(𝒩r²)` (`ψ₁`); the constants do not depend on `κ`, which enters + only through the exact pins.

The last follows from + `λ ≥ 18^{2/3}2^{1/3}𝒩r`, as `r(κ + 1) ≤ 2`. + - (Q1), second part: given `6r + 10r² ≤ L/8`, it holds if `10r²|γ|/λ ≤ L/16` and `6r²((κ + 1)/λ)^{1/2} ≤ L/16`, which + follow from `λ ≥ 160r²|γ|/L` and `λ ≥ (96/L)²r⁴(κ + 1)`. + - (Q2): `5r(1 + Γ) ≤ 1` holds if `λ ≥ 10r|γ|`; `8C₁𝒩r(1 + 5Γ) ≤ λ` holds if `λ ≥ 16C₁𝒩r` and `λ² ≥ 80C₁𝒩r|γ|`. + - (Q3): `ε* ≤ κ/4` holds if `κ ≥ 1280C₁𝒩r` and `λ² ≥ 1280C₁𝒩r|γ|²/κ`, by `(1 + Γ)² ≤ 2(1 + Γ²)`. + + Since `κr ≤ 1 ≤ 𝒩` gives `r²|γ| ≤ r|γ| ≤ |γ|(𝒩r/κ)^{1/2}`, and `r⁴(κ + 1) ≤ 2r`, all of these hold whenever + `κ ≥ C₂𝒩_r r` and `λ ≥ λ₂(𝒩_r)`, where `C₂ = C₂(d, L)` and + + λ₂(𝒩) := C₂[𝒩r + (𝒩r|γ|)^{1/2} + |γ|(𝒩r/κ)^{1/2}]. + + So `𝔅 ⊂ 𝔅_λ ∪ 𝔅_κ ∪ 𝔅_4 ∪ 𝔅_5`, with `𝔅_λ := {λ < λ₂(𝒩_r)}`, `𝔅_κ := {κ < C₂𝒩_r r}`, + `𝔅_4 := {||φ_r| − 1/3| ≤ 2ε*/(3κ)}` and `𝔅_5 := {|φ_r| > 1}`. +- *The common reduction.* `w_κ(A, Y_r) ≤ 36κ²Δ²1{A < 0, |Y_r| < 6κ|Δ|}`. `Y_r` is affine in `f₄` with slope `Δ/12` + and `J″`-measurable intercept. So `{|Y_r| < 6κ|Δ|}` is `{f₄ ∈ I_typ}` for a `J″`-measurable interval `I_typ` of length `144κ`. + The thresholds of `𝔅_λ`, `𝔅_κ` and `𝔅_4` depend on `𝒩_r`. On `{𝒩_r ∈ [2^j, 2^{j+1})}`, replace `𝒩_r` by `2^{j+1}`, + bound `1{𝒩_r ≥ 2^j}` by (F4), then integrate `f₄` by (2.1). This gives, for each `j`, a factor + `C_p2^{−jp}(P + |J″|)^p`.

Also `|Y′|` lies in `(6κ|Δ|, 6κ|Δ| + τ)`, which puts `f₄` in two intervals of total length + `24τ/|Δ|`. The contribution is `≤ 288C₀κE[τ²(P + |J″|)^p] ≤ Cκ³r²P^N ≤ Cκ²rP^N`. + +*Step E3 (removing the `k`-term).* `G₀(J′) := w_κ^{eld}(A, Y′)` equals `w_κ(A, Y′)1{|φ_r| < 1/3}`, because +`|φ_r| < 1/3 ⟺ |Y′| < 2κ|Δ|`. `w_κ` is Lipschitz in `Y` with constant `12κ|Δ|` (#218 Step C2; checker T3 there).

(2.4) + +*Step E6 (the target `v_0(b, k) → v_0(b, 0)`).* `loss_κ` depends on the even jets `(A, f₄)` and on the odd jet `γ` +only through `γᵀadj(A)γ`, so it is even in the odd jets. Also `0 ≤ loss_κ ≤ 9Y²`: on `{|Y| ≥ 2κ|Δ|}`, +`36κ²Δ² ≤ 9Y²`.

(T.1) and (E3.3). ∎ + +## 5. Remarks + +1. **Why the elder law has the candidate's `c₂`.** The elder rule enters the expansion at three places. + - At the fold scale the rejected mass is `O(r³/k)` ([C7-K] (K2)). That is the order of the boundary layer, below + `ℓ^{1/3}` after integration. + - At the cusp scale the elder rule is the window `|φ| < 1/3` (#207). It changes the `ℓ^{1/4}` coefficient from + `I^{cand}` to `c₁`, and changes nothing at order `ℓ^{1/3}`: by Lemma O′ the elder and candidate cusp losses have the + same limit `A₂(b, 0)` as `κ → ∞`, which is what the finite part `c₂` subtracts. + - At intermediate and far separations, elder pairs need a soft maximum (#198 Lemma B, #187), which costs a power of + `ℓ`. + + So `c₂` is a fold-scale quantity, as #216 argued formally; (E3.3) makes this a theorem, conditional on #187. +2. **What a rate in (E3.3) would need.** The `o(ℓ^{1/3})` comes from the `ε`-argument in `r₁`. #187 proves + `ν_eld^{far,ρ}(ℓ) ≤ C(ρ)ℓ^{2/3}` with `C(ρ)` not quantified as `ρ ↓ 0`. If `C(ρ) ≤ Cρ^{−p}`, then (E3.0) with + `r₁ = ℓ^{1/(3(p+β))}` gives the rate `O(ℓ^{min(4/11, 1/3 + β/(3(p+β)))})`. (When `p + β ≤ 5/3` this `r₁` lies below + `ℓ^{1/5}`; then #207's (5.1) covers all of `[ρ_c, r₁]`, and the split at `ℓ^{1/5}` is not needed.) Such a bound is the near-diagonal spectral refinement that #198 Remark 1 + describes: the conditional variance of the axial curvature under the pins, with `f₄` appended to the pin rows. +3. **The SIDE24 values and the Monte Carlo (exploration, not certified).** For the Gaussian kernel in `d = 3`, #207 §8 + and #216 give `c = 0.0417759`, `c₁ = −0.2118484` and `c₂ = 0.1612340`. So under (E3.3) + `ν_{3,24}(ℓ) ≈ cℓ^{−1/3}(1 − 5.0711ℓ^{7/12} + 3.8595ℓ^{2/3})` up to `o(ℓ^{2/3})`; the Gaussian-kernel values agree with + the `L = 24` torus up to a relative `O(e^{−L²/8})`. The elder-pair row of #216 v1.2 §3 is an exploratory estimate of + `ν_eld` itself: the exact elder rule by union–find on the full periodized field, `d = 2` at `L = 64` and `d = 3` at + `L = 16`. On `[10⁻⁴, 10⁻²]` it gives data/law `1.006 ± 0.004` (`χ² = 7.0/11`) in `d = 2` and `1.008 ± 0.010` + (`χ² = 5.0/11`) in `d = 3` for the three-term law, and rejects the two-term law (`χ² = 714/11` and `175/11`). Its + adjacent-pair row, which #218 Remark 3 concerns, is not covered here. +4. **Lemma Q is field-independent.** It is a deterministic statement about `C⁵` functions with two pinned critical + points: the elder window `|φ| < 1/3` of #207 is stable, with explicit margins, as long as + `𝒩r(1 + |γ|/λ)² ≪ κ||φ| − 1/3|` and `λ ≫ 𝒩r + (𝒩r|γ|)^{1/2}`, with the window inside the torus ((Q1)–(Q4)). #207's + Proposition CU.3 is its qualitative case. Only Lemma CE and §4 use the law of + the [P] field. +5. **For the manuscript.** Once #191, #198, #207, #218 and this note are reviewed, the abstract can state + `ν_{3,24}(ℓ) = c_{3,24}ℓ^{−1/3} + c₁ℓ^{1/4} + O(ℓ^{1/3})` with `c₁ < 0` the explicit integral (CU.2).

Taylor's formula with +integral remainder gives, for every `C⁴` function, + + r²g″(0)/6 = [g(r) − g(0) − rg′(0)] − (r/3)[g′(r) − g′(0)] + (1/6)∫_0^r t(r − t)² g⁗(t) dt, + rh′(0) = [h(r) − h(0)] − ∫_0^r (r − t) h″(t) dt. + +Under `Q` the pins give `g(0) = b`, `g(r) = b − kr³`, `g′(0) = g′(r) = 0` and `h(0) = h(r) = 0`. So the bracketed pin +combinations equal `−kr³` and `0`, and with `t = rs` + + H̃ = m_κ + 𝒢_r(f), m_κ := −6κ e_u e_uᵀ, + 𝒢_r(f) := ( ∫_0^1 s(1 − s)² ∂_u⁴f(M + rsu) ds ; −∫_0^1 (1 − s) ∂_u²∇_Θf(M + rsu) ds ; D_Θ²f(M) ), (H.1) + +listing the `uu`, `uΘ` and `ΘΘ` blocks. `𝒢_r` is a linear map on `C⁴` functions with `|𝒢_r(g)| ≤ C‖g‖_{C⁴}`. It is +defined also at `r = 0`, where `𝒢_0(g) = (∂_u⁴g(0)/12, −∂_u²∇_Θg(0)/2, D_Θ²g(0))`; for the cusp jets this is +`(f₄/12, −γ/2, A)`. Control X9 checks (H.1) exactly on pinned polynomial fields. + +*(a).* Under `Q`, `f` is the Gaussian field `F` conditioned on its pin rows ([R] (R2)–(R3)). Let `U_r = T_rO_r` be the +rescaled pin rows of [P] (3.1) (`U0`–`U3` and `V_{j0}`, `V_{j1}`), with target +`v_r = (b − kr³/2, −kr², 0, 12k, 0, …, 0)` ([P] (3.3)); as `r → 0` they converge to the six pinned jets +`(F, ∂_uF, ∂_u²F, ∂_u³F, ∇_ΘF, ∂_u∇_ΘF)` at `0`. Then `Cov_Q(H̃) = Cov(𝒢_r(F) | U_r)`, the Schur complement of `U_r` in +the Gram matrix `Γ_r` of `(𝒢_r(F), U_r)`. +- *Continuity.* Every entry of `(𝒢_r(F), U_r)` is an integral of some `∂^αF(M + rsu)`, `|α| ≤ 4`, against a fixed finite + measure on `s ∈ [0, 1]` (a density or an endpoint mass), independent of `r`; by Taylor's formula this holds for the + difference rows of [P] (3.1) too. So each entry of `Γ_r` has the form + `∫∫ ±∂^{α+β}K_L(r(s − s′)u) μ_i(ds) μ_j(ds′)`, with `K_L` the smooth covariance of `F`. This is continuous on the + compact set `[0, r_0^*] × {frames}`, including at `r = 0`. +- *`r > 0`.* The map from `(D²F(M), O_r)` to `(𝒢_r(F), U_r)` is block-triangular with invertible diagonal blocks: + `𝒢_r(F) = Λ_r^{−1}D²F(M)Λ_r^{−1} − (a linear function of the pins)` by the two identities above, read for an + arbitrary `C⁴` function, and `U_r = T_rO_r` with `|det T_r| = 12r^{−(d+3)}` ([P] (3.2)). So `(𝒢_r(F), U_r)` is an + invertible linear image of `(D²F(M), F(M), F(S), ∇F(M), ∇F(S))`. These are distinct derivative evaluation + functionals at the two distinct sites `M ≠ S` (`r ≤ r_0^* < L`), linearly independent by [P] §2: "Any finite list of + distinct derivative evaluation functionals at distinct sites is linearly independent." +- *`r = 0`.* `(𝒢_0(F), U_0)` is an invertible image of `∂_u⁴F(0)`, `∂_u²∇_ΘF(0)` and `D_Θ²F(0)` together with the six + pinned jets. These are distinct jets at one point in the frame `(u, Θ)`, independent by [P] §2: "At one site in a + rotated frame the same assertion also follows …". + +So `Γ_r` is invertible at every point of the compact set, hence `Γ_r ≥ cI` uniformly. Therefore +`Cov_Q(H̃) ≥ λ_min(Γ_r)I ≥ cI` (the inverse of the Schur complement is a block of `Γ_r^{−1}`), and +`Cov_Q(H̃) ≤ Cov(𝒢_r(F)) ≤ CI`. + +For the mean, `E_QH̃ = m_κ + Cov(𝒢_r(F), U_r)Cov(U_r)^{−1}v_r`, with `|v_r| ≤ |b| + 14k`. The regression coefficient is +bounded by the same uniform invertibility, and `|m_κ| = 6κ ≤ 6`. So `|E_QH̃| ≤ CP`; this is the computation of (F3) +with `𝒢_r` in place of `J′`. + +*(b).* Conditioning `Q` on `H̃` is conditioning `F` on `(𝒢_r(F), U_r) = (H̃ − m_κ, v_r)`, whose Gram matrix `Γ_r` is +uniformly invertible by (a). +- The conditional mean of `F` is the regression on these values. Its `C⁹` norm is `≤ C(P + |H̃|)`, since `Γ_r^{−1}` is + bounded, the covariances of `F(·)` with `𝒢_r(F)` and `U_r` have bounded `C⁹` norms, and `|m_κ| ≤ 6`. +- The conditional covariance is at most `Cov F`, so by Anderson's inequality the conditional moments of the centred + part's `C⁹` norm are at most those of `F`. + +This is the argument (not the statement) of #218 (1.2), applied to the conditioning vector `(𝒢_r(F), U_r)`; no +coupling is needed, because `𝒩_r` involves `F_r` only. (Jensen's inequality can replace Anderson's: write the centred +field as `g + h` with `h` centred and independent of `g`; then `E‖g‖^p ≤ E‖g + h‖^p`.) Since +`𝒩_r = 1 + k + ‖F_r‖_{C⁹}` and `k ≤ P`, (b) follows. ∎ + +**Lemma S′ (the elder weight through the rescaled Hessian).** For `0 < r ≤ r_0^*`, `b ∈ R` and `0 < k ≤ r`, with `ℓ = kr³` and +`κ = k/r ≤ 1`, + + E_Q[(W_r/r²) e] ≤ C ℓ^{2/3} r^{−2} (κ + r) P^N.
