diaz-modulus-lean: the companion note reaches 1.3, and the mirror closes at 200 of 200
Three versions of the companion note to diaz-modulus-lean
landed in twenty-four hours, and the mirrored library grew with each: 182 of 182
proved results at note-v1.1,
195 of 195 at note-v1.2,
and 200 of 200 at note-v1.3,
with lake build Diaz clean and nothing behind the headline theorems but propext,
Classical.choice and Quot.sound.
Version 1.1 takes the
boundary from three open statements to two: version 1.0 had listed the real half of
(S), its imaginary half and the transcendence of |u|, but both branches that reach
(S) produce a real γ, so the imaginary half is not needed — and by Gelfond–Schneider
the exceptions to (S) lie on at most one rational line, on an axis, so the two halves
cannot both fail. Version 1.2
gives the smallest open instance a partner: at least one of √((log 2)² + π²) and
2^{i log 2/π} is transcendental, the arguments of the candidates on a circle of
algebraic radius form a Sidon set up to conjugation, and (−1)^{u/ū} is transcendental
for every candidate. Version 1.3
turns the closing remark into a theorem — on the data a candidate certifies, u, ū
and iπ, every singular 2×2 matrix of rational combinations has ℚ-dependent rows or
columns, so the four exponentials conjecture is already a theorem there — sharpens what
separates the strong form from the ordinary one to the constant term rather than the
algebraic coefficients, and corrects 1.2’s claim that r·e^i is “certainly not” a
candidate.
Each release says the same thing about novelty and the note repeats it: every result is elementary, or a short consequence of Gelfond–Schneider, of the six exponentials theorem, or of the four exponentials theorem in transcendence degree one — what is new is that the chain is machine-checked, with Appendix A identifiers re-checked against the platform by script at zero mismatches. The journal in prove2me-logs records the same five steps, from Gelfond–Schneider closing the classical theorems to the four-exponentials barrier.
