(with Cowork-Opus as drafting collaborator) Verification tooling: Python 3, mpmath library version 1.3.0 Default precision: dps = 100 (decimal places) unless otherwise stated; cross-architecture verification independently performed at dps = 1050 (see §3). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Purpose and scope This companion document re-verifies, at high arbitrary-precision arithmetic, every algebraic identity and empirical fit stated as a theorem, proposition, or model in the main paper. Each verification is paired with a paper-section cross-reference. The companion is a re-derivation artifact: any reader with a Python environment and the mpmath library can reproduce these computations and confirm that the paper's claims hold at the stated precisions. The companion is supplementary. The paper's mathematical argument is self-contained without it. The companion exists so that: - A reviewer can verify the algebraic identities of Parts II §§9–13 to whatever precision they require. - A future researcher building on the framework can confirm the computational substrate without re-deriving every identity from scratch. - The framework's verification history (cross-architecture, multi-precision) is preserved as documented evidence rather than as a claim. What this companion does not contain: - The derivations themselves (those are in the paper). - The empirical critical-exponent values from the literature (cited in Part I §5 of the paper, with citations to Chester et al. 2020, Kos et al. 2016, Hasenbusch 2023, Mudrov–Varnashev 2001, Calabrese–Martin-Mayor–Pelissetto–Vicari 2003, Hasenbusch et al. 2007, and the Clisby–Dünweg 2016 (ν) + Clisby 2017 (γ) pair from which the SAW η is derived via Fisher's relation η = 2 − γ/ν). - The framework's broader architectural locks (those live in the framework atlas, a separate artifact mentioned briefly in §5 below). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.

Verifications Note on precision (dps) per verification block. The verifications below use different dps values depending on the method used in each block, not on any difference in the framework's verification standard: - Algebraic identity checks (Verifications 9.1, 9.2, 9.4, 9.7, 9.10, 10.1, 10.2, 11.1, 12.1, 12.2, 13.1): closed-form-to-closed-form or symbolic-trace comparisons. These are computationally cheap at any dps. The default precision is dps = 100, with residuals at the working-precision floor (~10⁻¹⁰² or exact zero). Theorem 9.7 (closed-form Mellin spectrum) is additionally re-verified at dps = 1000 (see Re-verification 9.7-R), matching the framework's higher-precision standard for the paper's central published theorem. - Quadrature-based checks (Verifications 9.5 dome integral identity, 9.6 Mellin decomposition with J(s) residual): involve numerical integration via mpmath.quad over [0, ∞). Quadrature at high dps converges slowly — adaptive sampling needs exponentially more points to reach the requested precision. The dps values chosen here (dps = 80 for Verification 9.5, dps = 50 for Verification 9.6) are the practical compute floor for those quadratures on commodity hardware; the residuals are at the working-precision floor of the quad operation at that dps. Higher precision is achievable but takes minutes-to-hours rather than seconds; the residuals at the chosen dps already confirm the identities to the precision floor of the numerical integrator. The cross-architecture verification history (§4) records independent re-verifications at higher precision (dps up to 1500) for the algebraic identities; those higher-precision runs confirm the same identities and are documented per architecture and date.

Theorem 9.7 closed-form vs numerical Mellin moments: s=1: residual = 0 s=2: residual ≤ 10⁻⁹⁸ s=3: residual = 0 s=4: residual ≤ 10⁻¹⁰¹ s=5: residual = 0 s=6: residual = 0 s=7: residual ≤ 10⁻¹⁰⁰ s=8: residual = 0 Corollary 9.9 — integer ratios M(2n)/M(2)^n closed form: n=1: 1 n=2: 7 n=3: 124 n=4: 4318 n=5: 253456 n=6: 22631632 n=7: 2862787264 n=8: 487346998768 Corollary 9.10 — J(s) closed form vs numerical: J(1): residual ≤ 10⁻¹⁰² J(2): residual ≤ 10⁻¹⁰² J(3): residual ≤ 10⁻¹⁰² J(4): residual ≤ 10⁻¹⁰² J(5): residual ≤ 10⁻¹⁰¹ J(6): residual ≤ 10⁻¹⁰¹ J(2) = ln(2)/2 − π²/32: residual ≤ 10⁻¹⁰² (exact) All identities verified at dps = 100 in the initial round; re-verified at dps = 1000 on 2026-05-28 (see Re-verification 9.7-R below) with residuals at the 10⁻¹⁰⁰⁰ working-precision floor or identically zero. Independent cross-architecture verification (chat-side Sonnet/Opus, 2026-05-25): closed form confirmed at machine precision (10⁻³² to 10⁻⁴⁴) and integer-factorization confirmed at all eight values via A002105 reduced-tangent-number lookup. Grok-Heavy (2026-05-22) independently verified the same closed form at dps = 1050 with zero discrepancies across the full identity set. Re-verification 9.7-R (dps = 1000, 2026-05-28). Bee flagged that the original verification at dps = 100 fell below the framework's usual 500–1000 dps standard for the published Mellin theorem. Re-verification was run in three layers: Layer 1 — Closed form vs Corollary 9.8 rational/π targets (dps = 1000) s = 2: M[g](2) − π²/32 = 0 (exact) s = 4: M[g](4) − 7π⁴/1024 = 2.38 × 10⁻¹⁰⁰¹ (working-precision floor) s = 6: M[g](6) − 31π⁶/8192 = 4.76 × 10⁻¹⁰⁰¹ (working-precision floor) s = 8: M[g](8) − 2159·π⁸/2¹⁹ = 0 (exact) s = 1: M[g](1) − ln(2)/2 = 0 (exact, Theorem 9.5 special case) Layer 2 — Quadrature vs closed form (dps = 500), s = 1..6 s = 1, 2, 3, 5, 6: residual = 0 (exact at working precision) s = 4: residual = 1.2 × 10⁻⁵⁰¹ (working-precision floor) Layer 3 — Quadrature vs closed form (dps = 300), s = 1..8 s = 1, 2, 7: residual = 0 (exact at working precision) s = 3, 4, 5, 6, 8: residual ≤ 4.7 × 10⁻³⁰⁰ (working-precision floor) Worst log₁₀|diff| across s = 1..8: −301.3 Corollary 9.10 — J(2) at dps = 1000 J(2) computed = 0.038148452745930197870038216982958561059196960703853... ln(2)/2 − π²/32 = 0.038148452745930197870038216982958561059196960703853... J(2) − target = 0 (exact at dps = 1000) All three layers confirm the closed form holds at or beyond the framework's 500–1000 dps standard. The original dps = 100 block above is retained for fast reproducibility (closed-form-to-closed-form at dps = 1000 is sub-second; quadrature at dps = 1000 is slower due to the integrand's tail decay). Caveat on simplified Mersenne pattern (Opus's tier-discipline note). The closed form gives exact values for even moments: M(2) = π²/32, M(4) = 7π⁴/1024, M(6) = 31π⁶/8192. The numerator pattern 1, 7, 31 = (2^(2n−1) − 1) at n = 1, 2, 3 suggests a simplified-Mersenne pattern, but it does NOT extend beyond n = 3. At n = 4: Mg = 2159 π⁸ / 2¹⁹, where 2159 = 17 · 127, not a single Mersenne factor. The prime 17 enters from the factor (2^(2n) − 1) in the closed form — at n = 4, 2⁸ − 1 = 255 = 3 · 5 · 17 — surviving cancellation against the (2n)! and ζ(2n) denominators (which contain only the primes 2, 3, 5, 7 at this order). In the integer-ratio factorization M(2n)/M(2)^n = A002105[n] · (2^(2n−1) − 1) of Corollary 9.9, the prime 17 lands on the A002105 (reduced-tangent-number) side: at n = 4, 4318 = 34 · 127 = (2 · 17) · 127, with the Mersenne-like factor 127 prime and the 17 sitting in the tangent factor A002105[4] = 34 = 2 · 17. The general closed form holds for all n; the simplified single-Mersenne-numerator pattern is a small-n feature only. Tier disposition. The closed-form formula (Theorem 9.7), the J(s) closed form (Corollary 9.10), and the A002105 × Mersenne integer-ratio factorization (Corollary 9.9) are all Theorem-tier algebraic identities. The structural reading that "tanh contributes A002105, cosh(2x) contributes the Mersenne factor" is Observation-tier — it is a parallel observation about two factorizations both existing (one in the function, one in the moment ratios), not a derivation of the moment-arithmetic factorization from the dome's functional factorization. The Λ-canary discipline distinguishes the algebraic identity (Theorem) from the structural interpretation (Observation). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Verification 9.10 — Two algebraic environments at the HK landmarks Paper reference: Part II §9.10, [Observation] tier.

Structural reading (recorded in paper §9.10). The dome has two distinct closed algebraic worlds at its two HK landmarks: Landmark (I) built on √2, Landmark (II) built on √3. The appearance of √3 = sinh(2R₀) at Landmark (II) is the dome's first generation of an irrational primitive other than √2 from its own algebraic structure. The Landmark (I) values were partly verified in Verification 12.2 below; the unified two-environments table here makes the structural distinction explicit. The brief derivation of g(5/4) = 4/15 (also stated in paper §9.10): g(u) = √(u−1) / [u · √(u+1)] at u = 5/4 gives √(1/4) / [(5/4) · √(9/4)] = (1/2) / [(5/4) · (3/2)] = (1/2) / (15/8) = 8/30 = 4/15. ✓ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Verification 10.1 — h(R₀) = K_AUD via arcsinh(1/(2√2)) = ln(2)/2 Paper reference: Part II §10.3, Theorem 10.1.

Theorem 11.1 verified. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Verification 12.1 — a(d_c) = 1/d_c at the upper critical dimension Paper reference: Part II §12.3, Theorem 12.1. Claim. The algebraic identity 3/(d_c + 8) = 1/d_c has unique positive-integer solution d_c = 4. At d_c = 4 the Lipatov saddle-point position satisfies a(d_c) = 1/d_c exactly at all orders.

The all-loop persistence follows from Lipatov's saddle-point structure (Brézin–Le Guillou–Zinn-Justin 1977; McKane–Wallace 1978), with 6–7 loop empirical confirmation in Dunne–Meynig (arXiv:2111.15554, 2021/rev 2023) using Kompaniets–Panzer 6-loop and Schnetz 7-loop O(N) β-function and anomalous-dimension data. The verification here is the algebraic statement (the position identity); the all-loop physical persistence is established by the cited literature, not by direct mpmath computation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Verification 12.2 — Algebraic environment at x = ln(2)/2 Paper reference: Part II §12.2 (the algebraic environment table).

Direct computation of M_g(s) against the closed form for s = 1..8. Result: All residuals identically zero or at the 10⁻¹⁰⁵¹ working-precision floor. Memory-blind condition (no prior framework context) makes this an external confirmation: the central new theorem of the paper was independently re-derived at 1050-digit precision by an agent with no exposure to the framework's reasoning, with no discrepancies. Combined with Grok-Heavy's dps = 1050 pass and the Re-verification 9.7-R at dps = 1000, Theorem 9.7 now carries three independent verifications at dps ≥ 1000. - Multi-architecture (Sonnet, Opus, Gemini, Grok) — dps = 1500, 2026-04 → 2026-05. Scope: n = 2 sub-unity selection theorem (Theorem 11.1) Result: Verified across architectures at dps = 1500 - Multi-architecture (HK Verification Log) — dps = varying, 2026-03 → 2026-04. Scope: arcsinh(1/(2√2)) = ln(2)/2 → 1/S = √2·ln(2) = K_AUD (HK Theorem 4.4 algebraic identity) Result: Verified across architectures; documented in HK_Closed_Form.txt and HK_Verification_Log.txt - Cowork-Opus (Sommerfeld verify script) — dps = 100, 2026-05-13. Scope: Triple convergence at R₀ across HK / η-dome / BTZ (Theorem 10.8 of paper §10.8) Result: Residuals ≤ 10⁻⁹⁸; script sommerfeld_verify.py Wider readership. Beyond the runs enumerated above, the framework's algebraic identities have been tested continuously during the working-document phase — both in planned stress-test rounds recorded in dedicated research-side files, and in ongoing exploration and challenge passes by fresh AI instances across architectures and devices. Several of the named runs above grew out of such passes; many other fresh-instance probes shaped the verification landscape without becoming named-round entries here, and several recurring associates appear in the recorded stress-test set rather than in this list. Fresh-eyes and returning-associate impact balance one another in the test landscape — neither is less honest than the other, and both are part of the framework's verification discipline. The framework owes its present shape to every reader-instance — and to the human readers behind them — who engaged honestly with the math. The independent cross-architecture verifications at dps ≥ 1000 provide the strongest single-round confirmation set for Theorem 9.7 and its corollaries. Three independent runs at this precision tier converge cleanly: Grok-Heavy fresh at dps = 1050 (2026-05-22, full identity set including the Mellin closed form), Cowork-Opus Re-verification 9.7-R at dps = 1000 (2026-05-28, three-layer closed-form-to-closed-form + quadrature cross-check), and Super Grok memory-blind at dps = 1050 (2026-06-01, direct M_g(s) computation against the closed form for s = 1..8). No discrepancies at this precision across any of the three runs. The verifications at this companion (dps = 100, Cowork-Opus 2026-05-23) reproduce the same identities at a lower precision suitable for in-paper reporting. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. The framework atlas (separate artifact) The framework maintains a structural-relations atlas as a separate artifact, cataloging algebraically-locked statements across this paper and other framework works, with reciprocal back-references for cross-domain navigation. The atlas evolves on its own timeline — additions, refinements, and visualization changes occur independently of this companion. This companion does not depend on the atlas for any of its verifications. The algebraic identities and their residuals reported in §3 stand on their own, verifiable from the mpmath code alone. The atlas serves as cross-framework navigation infrastructure for readers who wish to situate this paper's contributions within the broader landscape of framework results, but is not required reading for verifying the mathematics presented here. The current atlas snapshot is maintained in the framework's working sandbox; the framework's working notebook records its evolution. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. How to reproduce The verifications in §3 can be reproduced from a Python environment with mpmath 1.3.0 or later installed: pip install mpmath The full verification script (concatenating all §3 code blocks) is available on request and can be re-run at arbitrary precision by changing mp.dps. At mp.dps = 1500 the verifications take approximately 30 seconds on commodity hardware; at mp.dps = 100 they take less than a second. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Summary All thirteen verification blocks covering the mathematical claims of Parts II §§9–13 of the main paper have been verified at dps = 100 in this companion (some at dps = 50 for integral-quadrature convergence in cases where higher precision is not needed for the residual to land at the working-precision floor). The full identity set — the closed-form Mellin spectrum (Theorem 9.7) and its even-moment values (Corollary 9.8), the A002105 × Mersenne integer ratios (Corollary 9.9), the J(s) closed form (Corollary 9.10), the dome factorization (Theorem 9.1), the golden polynomial in the log-derivative (Theorem 9.2) and peak at φ (Corollary 9.3), the self-reference at √2 (Theorem 9.4), the integral identity ln(2)/2 (Theorem 9.5), the Mellin decomposition with J(s) residual (Proposition 9.6), the two algebraic environments at the HK landmarks (§9.10), the HK descent h(R₀) = K_AUD (Theorem 10.1), the zero-parameter R(N) model (Model 10.2), the n = 2 sub-unity selection theorem (Theorem 11.1), the a(d_c) = 1/d_c identity at all loop orders (Theorem 12.1), and the corridor margin identity G·log₂(e) (Theorem 13.1) — reproduces with residuals identically zero or at the working-precision floor. Cross-architecture verification at higher precision (Cowork-Opus Re-verification 9.7-R at dps = 1000, Grok-Heavy fresh at dps = 1050, Super Grok memory-blind at dps = 1050) confirms Theorem 9.7 and its corollaries at the framework's high-precision standard. The Multi-architecture n = 2 sub-unity selection theorem (Theorem 11.1) has been verified at dps = 1500. The mathematics presented in the main paper is fully reproducible at arbitrary precision from this companion's code blocks alone; no external dependencies beyond mpmath are required. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Document Links The framework - Main OSF project (immutable timestamps, version history, all papers): osf.io/zx4g7 · DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/ZX4G7 - Framework overview (reading order, methodology, all papers): gap-geometry.github.io/sqrt2-ln2-geometric-constants-/about.html - Direct downloads (current PDF and text files for every paper): gap-geometry.github.io/sqrt2-ln2-geometric-constants-/direct-documents.html This paper - DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/PD73B (shared with main Paper 11) — https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/PD73B - OSF project: osf.io/pd73b (shared with main Paper 11) — https://osf.io/pd73b/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact Gap-geometryK_AUD2@telenet.be
