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.
