# A sharp balanced rank-one cycle for refined recovery

This scoped proof and construction were produced by Nick Petalas. Apache-2.0.

## Premises and exact scope

Armin Pourshafeie / apoursh's #6853 asks for a structured frame construction
matching #6852's existential asymptotic rate. We use the affine family in
#6851, derived from Nick Petalas's #6660 integer frames. CubeJerry's #6327
and zxv's #5444 supply the retained rounded-native interface and matrix.
These predecessor theorems are premises, not results proved again here.

Let C be the binary self-dual [8,4,4] code. Its unique weight-eight word is
omega = (1,...,1); its other fourteen nonzero words have weight four. Put
Q = F2^8/C, so C = Q*. The predecessor's binary space decomposes as

V = im(mu) direct-sum R, dim Q = 4, dim R = d = 100.

In the affine family, every stage has phi_j(q) = mu(q) + psi_j(q), with
arbitrary binary linear psi_j: Q -> R and psi_1 = 0. Characters are pairs
(c,b) in C x R*. Their codewords and total weights are

h_j(c,b) = c + psi_j* b,
W(c,b) = sum_j wt(h_j(c,b)).

The Fourier error term from #6851 is

S = sum_{(c,b) != (0,0)} 13^(-W(c,b)).

We prove a new sharp lower bound and an explicit equality construction
within this family. All claims about arbitrary other mode-preserving frames
are excluded. The combinatorial proof below works for every d >= 1; the
integer construction specializes it to the actual d = 100.

## Theorem

Write L = 2^d and N = 16L. At every positive depth t,

S >= B_d(t) := (N-2) 13^(-4t) + 13^(-8t).

Equality is attainable if and only if L divides t. At every positive
multiple of L, the rank-one maps

psi_v(q) = omega(q) v, v ranging once over R per cycle,

attain equality. One can start with v = 0, so psi_1 = 0.

For the actual d = 100, this gives the exact minimum of S at every positive
multiple of 2^100. Using the predecessor's zero-fiber formula and small-error
max-fiber theorem, the exact minimum maximum fiber in this affine family is

[13^(8t) + (2^104-2) 13^(4t) + 1] / 2^104,
t a positive multiple of 2^100.

This is an exact symbolic formula, not an enumeration of that depth.
The same explicit infinite periodic sequence has error exponent

lim_{t -> infinity} -log2(S(t))/t = 4 log2(13).

Thus it answers #6853's structured-construction question, with an enormous
period. It does not improve the practical depth-28 to depth-30 certificates.

## Lower bound

For b = 0 the contribution is exactly 14*13^(-4t) + 13^(-8t).
Fix b != 0. At every stage, c -> c + psi_j* b permutes C. Consequently

sum_{c in C} W(c,b) = t sum_{c in C} wt(c) = 64t.

Strict convexity of x -> 13^(-x) gives

sum_{c in C} 13^(-W(c,b)) >= 16*13^(-4t),

with equality exactly when W(c,b) = 4t for every c. Sum over the L-1 nonzero
b and add the fixed b = 0 contribution. This gives B_d(t), with equality
exactly when all W(c,b) equal 4t for b != 0.

## Rank-one equality construction

For psi_v(q) = omega(q) v, its adjoint sends b to b(v) omega.
For each b != 0, exactly half of R has b(v) = 0 and half has b(v) = 1.
Complementary codewords obey

wt(c) + wt(c + omega) = 8.

One cycle therefore gives W(c,b) = (L/2)*8 = 4L for every c and b != 0.
Repeat the cycle to attain the bound at t = mL. The sole b = 0 character
of weight eight has total weight 8t. Every other nonzero character has
weight 4t. There are N-2 of the latter, proving the asserted spectrum.

## No shorter equality length

This argument permits arbitrary maps psi_j, not merely rank-one maps.
For fixed b != 0 let n_b(a) count the j for which psi_j* b = a in C.
Since wt(a) = 4 - 4*1[a=0] + 4*1[a=omega],

W(c,b) = 4t - 4 n_b(c) + 4 n_b(c+omega).

Equality in the lower bound forces n_b(c) = n_b(c+omega) for every c.
Choose any q in Q with omega(q) = 1. Pairing c with c+omega then gives

0 = sum_c n_b(c) (-1)^(c(q))
= sum_j (-1)^(b(psi_j(q))) for every b != 0.

Let m(v) count the occurrences of v in the multiset {psi_j(q)} in R.
Every nontrivial Fourier coefficient of m vanishes, while its trivial
coefficient is t. Fourier inversion on R gives m(v) = t/L for every v.
These are integer multiplicities, so L divides t. In particular 2^100
is the least positive equality depth for the actual affine family.

## Integer realization and random access

Use E selecting owners 0,1,2,4 and the 100 integer lifts k_i retained in
#6660's FRAMES.json. They satisfy M^T k_i = 0 and E k_i = 0; their binary
reductions form a basis of R. Define the integer row

lambda = e_1^T + e_2^T + e_4^T.

For the literal source M, lambda M mod 2 = omega. For 0 <= a < 2^100,
let g(a) = a XOR (a >> 1), the reflected Gray index, and put

v_a = sum_i bit_i(g(a)) k_i,
W_a = I + v_a lambda.

Then lambda v_a = 0, so W_a^(-1) = I - v_a lambda over the integers.
Also M^T W_a = M^T. Its binary action on M is exactly
mu(q) + omega(q) red2(v_a), as required. In particular W_0 = I.
The Gray map permutes all d-bit indices. Adjacent cyclic indices differ
in one Gray bit, including the last-to-first transition. Thus

U_a = W_(a+1)^(-1) W_a = I + (v_a-v_(a+1)) lambda

uses a signed single lift k_i. Both each frame change and every transition
have rank at most one relative to I. The constructor computes any frame
using at most 100 retained lifts; it never materializes the whole period.
No physical instruction price for these integer maps is asserted.

## Maximum fibers and the infinite sequence

At t = m*2^100, B_100(t) < 2^104*2^(-4t) < 2^(-296), since t >= 100
and 13 > 2. The inherited threshold epsilon* from #6848 is larger than
2^(-296). For example (23/12)^8 < 256 gives
epsilon* = 1/[13*((23/12)^8-1)] > 1/3315 > 2^(-12).
Thus the predecessor's theorem makes the maximum fiber the zero fiber
for this construction. Every competing affine sequence has maximum fiber
at least its zero fiber. The Poisson formula and the sharp S bound prove
the claimed exact optimum. The formula is integral: writing A=13^(4t),
its value is A+(A-1)^2/2^104; 2^104 divides A-1 because
v2(13^(4t)-1) = 4+v2(t) >= 104.

For arbitrary t, a partial cycle adds only nonnegative weights, so

B_100(t) <= S(t) <= (2^104-1) 13^(-4L floor(t/L)).

With the fixed constant L = 2^100, taking logarithms and dividing by t
proves the explicit sequence's exponent. This limit does not promise useful
convergence before a complete period.

## Evidence and remaining obligations

The universal statements rest on this written proof and the cited premises.
The verifier exhausts reduced dimensions, arbitrary-map small cases and small
Fourier occupancy multisets, and checks random-access frames against the
actual integer matrix. Its generated hash-bound receipt states exact coverage.
It neither enumerates the 2^100-stage period nor replays a predecessor's
scientific verifier. No codec, physical tag acquisition, caller acceptance,
restoration price, supplier invoice, new kappa, selected-frontier change or
complete multiplication theorem is supplied. Independent human and formal
proof-kernel review are unclaimed.

# Sharp balanced rank-one frames for refined recovery

Scoped written proof with exact finite corroboration. This package was produced
by Nick Petalas. Apache-2.0.

The new explicit cycle answers structured-construction question 2 of Armin
Pourshafeie / apoursh's [#6853](https://github.com/CrocSwap/integer-mult-bounds/pull/6853).
Within the affine frame family of #6851, at every positive depth t,

S >= (2^104-2) 13^(-4t) + 13^(-8t).

Equality is attainable exactly when 2^100 divides t. The construction enumerates
kernel vectors in Gray order and uses only rank-one changes from the identity.
Every transition uses one signed retained integer lift. At positive complete
cycles the exact minimum maximum fiber within this family is

[13^(8t) + (2^104-2) 13^(4t) + 1] / 2^104.

The fixed infinite sequence attains #6852's asymptotic exponent 4 log2(13)
explicitly. Its enormous period gives no practical improvement at depths 28–30.
The bound, construction, shortest equality depth and specialization are proved
in [PROOF.md](PROOF.md). The full 2^100-stage period is not enumerated.

## Reproduce

From the repository root, with CPython 3.12 and the standard library:

```sh
/Users/nick/git/integer-mult-bounds/.venv/bin/python3.12 -B scripts/research_package.py --package research/refined-recovery-balanced-cycle
/Users/nick/git/integer-mult-bounds/.venv/bin/python3.12 -W error -B research/refined-recovery-balanced-cycle/verify.py
/Users/nick/git/integer-mult-bounds/.venv/bin/python3.12 -W error -O -B research/refined-recovery-balanced-cycle/verify.py
/Users/nick/git/integer-mult-bounds/.venv/bin/python3.12 -B research/refined-recovery-balanced-cycle/cycle.py --index 7
/Users/nick/git/integer-mult-bounds/.venv/bin/python3.12 -B scripts/check_research_commit.py --package research/refined-recovery-balanced-cycle --check-source-history
```

The scientific marker is PASS_REFINED_RECOVERY_BALANCED_CYCLE. The constructor
prints sparse factors for W=I+v*lambda and U_to_next=I+delta*lambda, with zero-based
owner and cycle indices. It computes any index below 2^100 without expanding the
period. Sparse checkouts must first materialize this package and the declared
VERIFY.json inputs. Direct verification is Git-free once those files are present.

The generated stdout receipt binds every package file and live input by SHA256.
It reports eight reduced-dimension cycles, 8,152 nonzero cycle characters,
4,626 complete arbitrary-map sequences with 46 equality cases, 3,238 complete
Fourier occupancy multisets, 106 integer frame sample invocations, eight
omitted-vector spectrum controls and eight rejected API inputs. The arbitrary-map
census fixes the first map at zero and covers d=1, t=1..4 and d=2, t=1..2.
The occupancy census covers dimensions 1..3 and totals 1..6. The sample indices
include all 100 individual Gray basis vectors and the cyclic wrap. These are
finite corroborations; the universal proof is not a finite census.

## Premises, credit and scope

Credit apoursh #6853 for the question and finite-depth construction, #6851 for
the affine character model and #6852 for the existential optimal rate; Nick
Petalas #6660 for the integer frame family and retained lifts; CubeJerry #6327
and zxv #5444 for the rounded-native interface and literal matrix. The inherited
Poisson and small-error maximum-fiber implications are premises. Their exact
source bytes are pinned in SOURCES.json. No predecessor scientific executable
is imported or replayed. Their attribution and notices remain unchanged.

This changes uniform-transfer-audit to a local analytic-recovery construction.
It does not discharge a selected framework assumption. Optimality and the
2^100 divisibility obstruction apply only to the affine family. Nonmultiples
have a strict lower bound here, with no exact optimum supplied. The constructor
uses the unbounded integer model in the proof; its reference action API limits
operands to 4,096 bits. No full-cycle execution, codec, physical tag acquisition,
restoration cost, accepting caller, supplier admission, new kappa or selected
cold replay is claimed. Independent human and formal proof-kernel review are
unclaimed. Lean and Docker were not run.

## Implementation bounds

The two new Python files use bounded loops and no recursion, dynamic evaluation
or callback dispatch. A frame uses 100 lifts of 112 coordinates. The source
parser accepts 25 blocks of four lifts, each with at most 112 entries and
coefficients of magnitude at most 100. Functions are below 60 physical lines.
Checks raise exceptions and remain active under -O. The CLI rejects out-of-range
indices. Integer action, inverse, mode preservation and transition composition
are checked against the actual matrix.

Power-of-Ten rule 3 has a managed-runtime deviation in both files. Python and
its JSON and integer libraries allocate dynamically. The fixed source dimensions,
4,096-bit action limit, at most 256 stages and 4,096 characters in a toy case,
and explicitly bounded census domains bound live data. Source JSON is trusted
only after hash authentication in the verifier. No live service or retained
resource is introduced. Warning-strict normal and optimized replay, source
compilation and CLI checks are the available diagnostics; no static type checker
is configured for this isolated Python package. A physical implementation would
need fixed-capacity storage and its own resource proof.

## Open next questions

1. Can a much shorter explicit near-balanced sequence give a useful finite-depth
bound? Start with a small-bias kernel multiset and prove every character
imbalance bound. No short construction is supplied.
2. What bound replaces this one outside the affine family? First derive the
character action of a frame that changes its fixed complement. This package
gives no global frame classification.

The relevance and blockers are also recorded in TASK.json.
