Six-agent alternative theta mechanism audit

Rendered report · Review record · Proposal record

Wall check: Same open gap — ZERO-GEOMETRY, NS100/101, PR76–78. No original all-height signed estimate is obtained. The three methods expose an unestimated heat source, reject an unrestricted sector-matrix condition, and leave a contour density unestimated. A separate useful rejection criterion emerges: any uncancelled interior pole of the complete original quotient C/M would rule out its positive definiteness. No such pole has been located.

Alex explicitly requested this six-agent continuation after PR78. Three proposers assessed auxiliary heat, modular duplication and direct quotient contours; three independently checked algebra, complex analysis, controls and admission. Reviewed remote: 221ceec9da825bdc787111447badad961860760a. The 104-node/14-input review concerns conclusions and dependencies, not a replay of all historical proofs or certificates. Both recovery groups stay OPEN.

Exact outcomes

For the auxiliary Gaussian family H_a=Fourier(exp(a*u^2)*phi), let Q_a=L1[H_a], S_a=L1[H_a'] and G_a be the ordinary heat kernel. Then

partial_a Q_a = -Q_a'' + 2*S_a,
Q_0 = G_A*Q_A - 2*integral_0^A G_a*S_a da, A=1/8.

The endpoint normalization is checked against the literature’s scaled kernel. It has nonnegative Q_A; no lower uniform margin is assumed. The source is subtractive in the required direction and has no independent arithmetic estimate. It is already positive at r=0. A locally bounded relative-source bound also imposes an unproved restriction near multiple zeros. This auxiliary heat clock is not the original nonlinear Jacobi evolution; neither route is generally excluded.

The completed theta2/theta3/theta4 sectors are exact translates of the original completed kernel. Their full Hermitian Laguerre matrix has inertia (2+,1-) whenever X is nonzero. This rejects unrestricted sector-matrix positivity. Subtracting the known phase correction leaves precisely L1[X]*A*A^*. All pair sectors and lower moments are retained; nonlinear and infinite duplication methods remain unexcluded but have no supplied estimating cone.

For the contour analysis, define the complete original functions

M(z)=integral_R phi(s+z)*phi(s-z) ds,
C(z)=integral_R s^2*phi(s+z)*phi(s-z) ds,
k=C/M, K(xi)=Fourier(k)(xi).

M and C are holomorphic on abs(Im z)<pi/4; M is positive on both coordinate axes. The complete complex saddle estimate makes M zero-free at distant horizontal ends of every closed substrip. Its remaining zeros there are finite. A nonremovable pole of k creates a leading oscillating residue contribution to K. The lowest poles have no zero frequency because none is imaginary-axis; their nonzero mean-zero trigonometric sum forces both signs. This includes multiple poles and all complete tails.

M(z0)=0, C(z0)!=0, abs(Im z0)<pi/4
  => k has a nonremovable pole
  => K changes sign
  => k is not positive definite.

This rejects only a sufficient certificate. In the exact transfer

L1[X](r)=(1/pi)*integral_R X(r-xi/2)^2*K(xi) dxi,

a sign-changing K can still yield a nonnegative result. The original J, first Laguerre, RH, G2 and the cofinal arithmetic bounds remain open. Pole absence also does not imply positive definiteness; an explicit analytic control in review 05 demonstrates that distinction.

Next proposal, with its limits

A bounded locator is useful in principle because it now has a complete rejection decision. An already known or externally supplied root is not required by AGENTS. The review’s possible discovery domain is 1/8<=Re z<=2, 1/8<=Im z<=5/8, with at most a 9-by-9 grid, four selected cell refinements and twelve refinement steps per cell. Cap discovery, including controls, at 90 minutes; do not expand the region after a null result. This domain is a tractability choice, not evidence of a zero there.

Before running, a separate completed protocol must fix the evaluator, complete-integral error handling, exact cell-selection/stopping rule and matched control implementation. Use an uncancelled-pole control and a removable-pole control, so detecting M=0 alone cannot reject k. Diagnostic artifacts belong under evidence/diag_*; floating phase winding is not a zero certificate. A promising box then needs complete Arb argument-principle and C-nonvanishing enclosures, uniform tails, and two-precision replay. Initial certification budget: at most two hours for one specified box.

No witness means inconclusive. A certified uncancelled pole closes the general quotient-PD sufficient construction, beyond PR78’s particular mixture; it does not disprove J. Failure to exclude zero in C is inconclusive, not cancellation. No locator or certificate was run in this paper round.

Six focused notes

  1. Auxiliary heat and the source term.
  2. Completed duplication sectors.
  3. Original complex quotient and residue criterion.
  4. Independent heat and duplication algebra.
  5. Independent complete-tail and contour check.
  6. Admission, controls and bounded locator scope.

The synthesis resolves an admission wording difference: review 03’s suggested externally supplied box is an option, not a prerequisite for all diagnostic discovery. An instantiated box is required for an immediate certificate; a bounded locator requires its own prior protocol and control screen.

No research row, node, thaw, sign scan, interval certificate or manuscript version. Current budget: six paper reviews and one audit PR. No automatic unbounded search, neighboring mixture or global route pivot follows.
