Polylogarithmic Collatz Descent

Formalization

Theorem → Lean map

Eleven public theorems, kernel-checked against Mathlib, with the exact boundary between what Lean certifies and what the manuscript assembles.

The development is frozen at commit ef3410843bf58d69f771f5ba2c0571d54b54da59 and archived under DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21930432. The article is self-contained; this formalization checks the principal theorem chain independently of the English proof.

What the axiom report says

PaperAudit.lean and TimeoutEndpointAudit.lean run #print axioms over the public roots and the canonical timeout chain. Every declaration reports only propext, Classical.choice, and Quot.sound — Lean's three standard axioms. There is no sorry, no admit, no native_decide, no ofReduceBool, and no project-local axiom.

Replay it yourself

From the lean/ directory of the tagged checkout:

lake build

lake build FirstPassageLinearTransportAlternates
lake build FirstPassageLinearTransportLegacy

The first command is the fail-loudly canonical gate and includes the named audit roots. The other two independently reconstruct the optional all-prefix cross-check and the historical two-regime library; neither is part of the default target, and neither is imported by Main.

The map

All eleven declarations below live in Main.lean, namespace FirstPassageLinearTransport.QuantitativeCollatzMain. Their types display the literal shortcut and raw Collatz maps and the package's explicit natural-density and exceptional-count definitions, not an abstract surrogate. The authoritative machine-generated map is PaperDependencyAudit.lean; the release record is lean/FORMALIZATION.md.

Where the formal claim stops

This is a declaration-level coverage boundary, not an admitted obligation. Nothing in the development is left unproved. But some combined quantitative statements in the manuscript are assembled from separately checked components rather than exported as single wrapper theorems.

Specifically: the exact endpoint and combined forms of the quantitative stretched-logarithmic theorem, the moving raw specialization of the raw-clock corollary, and the literal capstone form of the fixed-barrier failure bound are manuscript derivations over formalized structural components. Lean separately checks the explicit \(6.953\log n\) witness, every strict subendpoint exceptional power, and the raw \(10.44\log n\) landing.

Likewise, the log-log, triple-log, and arbitrary-divergent profiles use the formal generic producer but have no literal public specialization of their own.

Principal checked chain

Beneath the public surface, the dependency audit maps the manuscript's load-bearing steps to checked declarations, including:

  • the parity-vector bijection and exact affine iterate;
  • maximal and adjustable barrier counts with deterministic orbit envelopes;
  • first-passage reversal, tagged-fiber bounds, and loss-filtered transport;
  • decreasing-rank direct-passage collapse and rank-scaled reverse-loss telescoping;
  • the timeout tail and its endpoint-rate density estimate;
  • the cumulative-time corridor and square-root feasible-time support;
  • support-sensitive first-bad aggregation;
  • logarithmic shortcut and raw clocks, and same-witness orbit ceilings;
  • dyadic-shell exceptional estimates and natural-density assembly.

The optional all-prefix library proves the same moving theorem type by a different low-rank producer, as an independent cross-check. It is built separately and is never imported by Main.
