All smaller witness periods are excluded
Abstract
All smaller witness periods are excluded
Theorem 1.1 (The convergent period is absent).
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S1/Words/Mechanical/SilverSlopeAbelianWitnessExclusions.silver_no_q_period (✓ std3). ∎
Source. Repository-derived.
Commentary.
The endpoint phase displacement and the best approximation bound exclude every possible head alignment. Canonical coercions are denoted real and integer. Natural subtraction is truncated at zero; natMod is natural remainder.
Theorem 1.2 (The adjacent-denominator sum is absent from the twice-denominator witness).
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S1/Words/Mechanical/SilverSlopeAbelianWitnessExclusions.silver_w2_no_r_period (✓ std3). ∎
Source. Repository-derived.
Commentary.
The endpoint floor telescope excludes the adjacent-denominator sum for every possible head alignment. Canonical coercions are denoted real and integer. Natural subtraction is truncated at zero; natMod is natural remainder.
Theorem 1.3 (The remaining shorter periods are absent).
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S1/Words/Mechanical/SilverSlopeAbelianWitnessExclusions.silver_short_period_exclusion (✓ std3). ∎
Source. Repository-derived.
Commentary.
Word length forces enough complete blocks that the approximation error contradicts the exponent bound. Canonical coercions are denoted real and integer. Natural subtraction is truncated at zero; natMod is natural remainder.
