Interpretation and scope

The coefficient a(n) is n! times the ordinary rational coefficient of x^n. The initial coefficient is one in every displayed exponential series. The selected pairs are modulo 3 and 8 for A232694, modulo 5 and 2 for A232695, modulo 2 and 4 for A232696, and modulo 2 and 4 for A232686. The other quoted conjectures are outside these four propositions. The reciprocal equation is interpreted by formal unit inversion, with derivative constant coefficient one.

Evidence and literature boundary

The exact-coefficient experiment is in the private repository the-omega-institute/trureturing-experiments, commit e2566e824df32e3f308cd1b801ef82dd17fa64cf, docs/reports/hanna-efg-congruences/check.py, SHA-256 14fa66db49524fd5b8ccbf45b2245d0a4813980bff076b1b0a855d869393f259. The recorded command is python3 check.py > output.txt, exit 0. It checks indices 0 through 300 and compares independent rational-series iteration through degree 12. These finite calculations support the coefficient interpretation; they do not prove an unbounded congruence. The all-index conclusions are repository derivations from integral recurrences and exact residuals. Literature-screen completeness is ASSUMED-UNVERIFIED; no prior settlement was located in the sources inspected for issues #21485, #21486, #21487 and #21488.
