Session 044 (2026-08-26) — Paper A: final wording revisions + FREEZE for expert review
NOTE: journal-043 was never written. Session 043 exists only in git history (commits 4001c5d..eca7fab: Paper A review revisions 1–3 — 8 user items, margin-trail consistency, Rosser Thm-19 form + notation separation, paperB affiliation descriptor, E-023b interval-rigorous MZeroProp certificate, paperA.pdf regenerated at 13 pp). Its substance is already reflected in the paper and in this journal's context.
Work
Two rounds of user-supplied review items on paperA.tex (all wording / organization; no mathematical content touched). Round 1 (2 items):
- Abstract Keiper precision: "Johansson's rigorous Li table" → "Johansson's rigorous Keiper-coefficient table to $10^5$ transferred to the Li normalization" (internal comma after $10^5$ dropped to keep the parenthetical list unambiguous — flagged to user).
- Step-3 trust-boundary narrowing: "all other contour terms are \emph{unconditional}" → "all other contour terms are independent of the finite-height RH assumption." User offered two phrasings; chose (via AskUserQuestion) "independent of the finite-height RH assumption" over "no other contour term requires RH information above the residue cut" — the latter slightly implies some contour term might use RH below the cut (none does; only the bridge).
Round 2 (3 items):
- Post-Theorem-2 sentence corrected: "The two assumptions displayed
are the two computational certificates" (stale — the paper classifies
FOUR perimeter inputs as computational certificates: RHUpTo,
LiVerifiedUpTo, NoLowZeros, MZeroProp) → "The two assumptions
displayed are the two principal computational inputs appearing in the
headline statement." PLUS the user's "even better": Theorem 2 now
closes with "The formal reduction of this statement is subject to
exactly seven explicit perimeter inputs, itemized with provenance in
Appendix~\ref{app:formal}." — phrased as a property of the formal
reduction so the "not additional conjectural assumptions" framing of
the following paragraph is undisturbed.
\label{app:formal}added to Appendix B (real cross-ref);\label{app:numerics}added to Appendix A (symmetry, unused). - Introduction scope fix: "every numerical input" → "every project-generated numerical input" (Johansson and Platt–Trudgian are external computational inputs).
- Appendix A heading: "(E-011/E-015/E-021/E-023)" → "(E-011/E-015/E-021/E-023/E-023b)" — E-023 kept (margin-assembly outputs still used); E-023b's certificate content lives in App B's MZeroProp paragraph.
Pre-freeze factual fix (mine, flagged to user): AI Contribution Statement ledger range "sessions 001--041" → "001--044".
Freeze
- Final compile: 13 pp, 440579→441023 bytes, ZERO overfull hboxes, ZERO undefined refs (two pdflatex passes; no bib changes).
- \date already reads "Started: 2026-08-17; revised 2026-08-26" — current, untouched.
- Committed: paperA.tex + paperA.pdf + this journal + STATE.md. User's correspondence package and other unrelated paths untouched.
- Paper A is FROZEN for expert review. Any further edit re-opens the honesty audit for the edited lines (D-060 §5 rule).
State at stop
Clean boundary. NEXT: expert review of the frozen paperA.pdf; submission decision (cover-letter.md + referee-list.md, target Experimental Mathematics). If research resumes instead: Paper B Task 1 (R-003 tempered-FT bookkeeping trace) or parked Track-B remainders.
