Axis Convergence
Abstract
Positive-x Zeckendorf axis sums converge, with a doubly-exponential depth tail.
Each natural number is read through its Zeckendorf digits. Positivity of the first coordinate makes the golden-ratio contribution decay at least geometrically in the represented integer, while the conjugate contribution has a uniform geometric budget. This gives absolute summability for every real second coordinate.
The depth-K window contains exactly the integers below Fib(K+1), so ordinary series convergence gives convergence of the axis partial sums. The omitted geometric tail begins there. Comparing Fib(K+1) with phi^K / phi converts that tail into the displayed doubly-exponential depth bound.
The condition x > 0 is essential. At x = y = 0 every word has weight one, the depth-K partial sum is Fib(K+1), and the sequence diverges to positive infinity. This is the corrected boundary clause of PZG 6.35.
Theorem 1.1 (Positive-x word weights are summable).
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Axis/AxisConvergence.wordWeight_summable (✓ std3). ∎
Source. Repository-derived.
Commentary.
The proof uses the pointwise geometric majorant obtained from the two Zeckendorf embedding estimates.
Theorem 1.2 (Positive-x axis partial sums converge).
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Axis/AxisConvergence.axisPartialSum_tendsto (✓ std3). ∎
Source. Repository-derived.
Commentary.
Series convergence is restricted along the cofinal Fibonacci cutoffs that define the depth windows.
Theorem 1.3 (The axis tail is doubly exponentially small).
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Axis/AxisConvergence.axisPartialSum_tail_bound (✓ std3). ∎
Source. Repository-derived.
Commentary.
The exact geometric tail constant is retained, and the Fibonacci cutoff is bounded below by phi^K / phi to obtain the depth rate.
Theorem 1.4 (The origin window is Fibonacci).
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Axis/AxisConvergence.axisPartialSum_zero_zero (✓ std3). ∎
Source. Repository-derived.
Commentary.
Every word weight is one at the origin, so the window cardinality is exactly the next Fibonacci number.
Theorem 1.5 (The origin window diverges).
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Axis/AxisConvergence.axisPartialSum_zero_zero_tendsto_atTop (✓ std3). ∎
Source. Repository-derived.
Commentary.
The Fibonacci identity turns standard Fibonacci growth into divergence of the partial sums to positive infinity.
Theorem 1.6 (The origin counterexample package).
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Axis/AxisConvergence.axisPartialSum_zero_zero_package (✓ std3). ∎
Source. Repository-derived.
Commentary.
This conjunction binds the exact Fibonacci value at every depth together with divergence to positive infinity.
