Quadratic Collision Model
Abstract
The quadratic collision model has explicit real, double, and conjugate roots, and always has two roots with multiplicity.
Theorem 1.1 (The z squared plus t model has the three root regimes).

Commentary.
For t < 0 the roots are the distinct real numbers plus or minus square root of minus t. At t = 0 the root multiset is the doubled zero. For t > 0 the roots are the conjugate pair plus or minus i square root t. The certificate is for this explicit polynomial model only; it does not assert a zeta zero theorem.
Theorem 1.2 (The quadratic model always has two roots with multiplicity).
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Zeros/ToySpectrum/QuadraticCollisionModel.off_line_zeros_born_in_pairs_not_created (✓ std3). ∎
Source. Repository-derived.
Commentary.
The multiset cardinality is two for every real t, including the collision point where the two entries coincide. Thus the off-line conjugate pair in this toy model is a redistribution of two roots through a double root, not creation of additional roots.
