← Session 3 — Project kickoff: RH blueprint, staged workflow + archive design
thinking (548 chars)
Everything survived: git clean, last commit d1ffd4c (Phase 1 complete), 13 derivation files, 5 experiment CSVs. The shutdown happened during my conversation message about "continuation will do what" — no work was in progress, so nothing was lost.
Give the user a clear status report. Note one housekeeping item: the open threads list in STATE.md still shows T1/T3 as open but they were closed during the session — minor STATE.md staleness. I could fix that quickly. Yes — small cleanup: mark T1, T3 closed in the threads list. Quick edit + commit.
**Good news: zero work was lost.** The shutdown happened while we were just talking — no computation was running, and every research artifact had been committed immediately when produced. Verified: git working tree is clean, last commit `d1ffd4c` is intact, all 13 derivation files and 5 experiment datasets are on disk.
## Where the project stands
**Completed today (Session 001):**
- **Phase 0 — fully done.** The Anthropic paper is completely mastered: every section independently reproduced (D-002–D-006), Lemma 3.2 re-derived by hand (D-005), window constants machine-verified (E-001), Lean repo audited (D-007), and a calibrated numerical sandbox built — 10,000 zeta zeros at 25-digit precision (E-002) with the paper's matrix machinery confirmed empirically (E-003).
- **Phase 1 — effectively done.** The big verdict: **the paper's certificate framework is provably exhausted.** Six walls mapped with exact mechanisms (D-013). Two ideas died cleanly and are permanently documented: multiplicity bounds (G-001) and the moment ladder (G-002, closed by experiment E-005). The only arithmetic escape (prime pairs beyond bandwidth 1) was located precisely — it needs short-lag prime-pair information that doesn't exist unconditionally (D-012).
**This is genuine progress, not failure:** we now own a rigorous obstruction map — success criterion 4 in the blueprint.
**Next action (your choice, queued in STATE.md):**
- **Track C (recommended by the evidence)** — positivity criteria: Weil forms on growing supports, Li coefficients, de Bruijn–Newman. Untouched by all six walls.
- **Track B** — the spectral/Hilbert–Pólya route (quantum formalism). Highest ceiling, highest risk.
- Or the cheap side-thread **T4** (why the method is stronger on ξ′).
One small housekeeping fix first — STATE.md's thread list still shows T1 and T3 as open, but we closed them today. Updating.
