← Session 3 — Project kickoff: RH blueprint, staged workflow + archive design
thinking (150 chars)
User asks: what would continuation do — explain. They want to understand what happens next if we continue vs break. Explain the next phase concretely.
Good question. Here's exactly what continuing means right now:
## The immediate next stage (if we continue)
Per the decision gate (D-013), the recommended next move is **Track C — Phase 3, task 3.1: Weil positivity on growing supports**. Concretely, a continuation session would do this:
**Step 1 — Understand the criterion precisely (from our archive + literature).**
Weil's explicit formula gives a Hermitian form W on test functions. The theorem (Weil, Bombieri): **W is positive semi-definite on all of C²_c(ℝ) ⟺ RH is true.** But positivity on *bounded* support [−a, a] is checkable and has content for finite a — Yoshida proved positivity for small a unconditionally. The question: how far can a be pushed, and does the paper's 2/3-density result help push it?
**Step 2 — What I'd actually do first (concrete actions):**
1. Pull up what our archive already knows (the Weil form machinery is fully reproduced in D-002–D-005).
2. Web-research the current record for a (Yoshida's range and anything newer) — per your standing order §4A.3.
3. Set up a numerical test (extending our E-003 sandbox): compute the smallest eigenvalue of finite truncations of W for increasing support a, on our 10⁴ zeros. This tells us empirically where positivity holds and what the eigenvalue does near the boundary — the "positivity horizon."
**Step 3 — The research question that makes it matter:**
The paper's result (≥2/3 of zeros simple, on the line) constrains the Weil form's inertia. Nobody has ever plugged a result like that into the positivity criteria. The cross-pollination question (task 3.4): *does 2/3-simplicity improve any positivity criterion?* That's a genuinely unexplored intersection — it exists because the paper is from 2026 and this project is the first to try.
## What you decide
- **Continue** → I start Step 1–2 now (Track C setup + literature + numerical horizon test).
- **Break** → I run the session-end protocol (already 90% done — everything is committed after each sub-stage), and next session resumes from `STATE.md` in under a minute.
Both are safe; nothing is lost either way. Your call.
