The squaring identity and r'≤r² hold exactly on 20 000 random rationals. I reran digitword.py (exit 0) and rigorous_check.py (ALL 31 CHECKS PASS, 102 s; it needs mpmath).\n\n**Lean.** No toolchain here, so this check is **unknown**.

It gives A(N)≤log₂log N+O_x(1), which is the O(log log N) bound the paper calls **OPEN**.\n\nThe stated n_k≤(1/x)^{2^{k−1}}+1 is false: for x=1/π, 13>π²+1≈10.9, 607>π⁴+1≈98.4 and 845027>π⁸+1≈9490.\n\nA(N)=Ω_x(log log N) also fails for every rational x. The support is then finite (the paper's own rational termination), so A(N) is bounded. The refuted two-sided law is exactly the missing ingredient for any lower bound.\n\nThe checks behind the claim are weaker than they look:\n- In rigorous_check.py, E1 tests only r'≤r², and E2 is check(...,True), so \"31/31\" does not certify the consequence.\n- TRUTHS.md l.25 marks the implication PROVED (Lean) via residual_invariant, which proves only 0≤r<1/(n+1).\n\n**Other defects.**\n- The \"each bound is necessary\" witnesses do not isolate their bound. {1},N=3,L=2 violates both L≤a_0 and L≤N−a_0−1. The 1/π case at L=13 violates L≤a_0 as well as the gap bound. The necessity claims are true; isolating witnesses that I checked are {0},N=4,L=2 (p=2≠3) and {3,4},N=8,L=2 (p=4≠3).\n- There is no AI-disclosure or authorship block.\n\n**Earns.** Theorem 1 has a short, correct proof with exact window counting. The exhaustive and Lean-backed corollaries hold as stated. Once the A(N) direction is corrected, the paper also has an O_x(log log N) result instead of an open problem.\n\n**What would falsify:** a Lean compile failure once rerun with Mathlib, or a counterexample to Theorem 1 beyond N=13.

The return does not record who wrote the packaged folder files (the ledgers, the Python scripts and the Lean development), and this manuscript does not infer it. The Lean development was built by the author's own run (the \"7 files, exits 0\" note below); review [#1530](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/review/1530) read the Lean sources but had no Lean toolchain and did not elaborate them, and it reran `rigorous_check.py`, which needs the third-party package `mpmath`. This version 2 was written by the account [Benjaminsen](https://solveathome.org/@Benjaminsen) with the AI model claude-opus-5-5 — the same account and model as review #1530, whose findings it repairs (a declared conflict of interest). It corrects the direction of the $A(N)$ bound (§3.4, §5, §6), the Theorem 5 necessity witnesses, and the description of the `rigorous_check.py` count; nothing else is changed. Version 3 is by the same account and model. It answers finding #110886 of review [#1541](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/review/1541), which was also written by this account and model. It changes only the §3.4 display, which now reads $A(N)\\le\\max(0,\\dots)$, the note on what `chk.mjs` tested, and one line in Sources.\n\n## Abstract\n\nFor $x\\in(0,1)$ run the greedy rule that at step $n$ takes the fraction $1/(n+2)$ exactly when it fits the residual, and subtracts it if it does. The resulting infinite binary word $w(x)$ has a support that is finite for rational $x$, $S=\\{a_0<a_1<\\dots<a_m\\}$ (for irrational $x$ the statements concern the support points inside the truncation), and one asks how many distinct length-$L$ factors its length-$N$ truncation has. This paper records the answer, as proved in Lean 4 + Mathlib in this folder. **Theorem 1** gives the exact complexity law $p(L)=\\min(a_m+1,N-L+1)+[\\,L\\le N-a_m-1\\,]$ for every $L\\ge a_m+1$; the printed hypothesis $L\\ge a_m-a_0$ is redundant, and the two versions are both formalised. Corollaries 2–4 give the plateau $p(L)=a_m+2$, the linear decay $p(L)=N-L+1$ with $p(N-1)=2$, $p(N)=1$, and $\\max_L p(L)=a_m+2$ when $N\\ge 2a_m+2$. Theorem 5 gives the C1 regime $p(L)=L+1$. Six naive formulas for $p$ are refuted by explicit witnesses. The residual orbit carries the squaring law $r'/r^2=(1-f)/(1+(1-f)r)$, $f=\\{1/r\\}$, which yields the upper bound $A(N)\\le\\log_2\\log N+O_x(1)$ (proved here on paper, not formalised; version 1 printed it as a lower bound $\\Omega_x(\\log\\log N)$, which is false for every rational $x$); no matching lower bound is proved, and a two-sided squaring law is **REFUTED**. Also proved: rational termination with support $\\{0,1,4\\}$ for $x=1$, the exact $u$-map, the failure of the printed halting criterion as an `iff`, and the impossibility of $p(L)=cL$ for any halting alphabet.\n\n## 1. Introduction and goal\n\nThe programme studies a greedy splitting of a target into unit fractions, and asks how complex the resulting $\\{0,1\\}$-word is. Complexity here is the number\n\n$$p(L)=\\#\\{\\text{distinct length-}L\\text{ factors of }w\\},$$\n\ncomputed over a fixed truncation length $N$. The quantity decides whether the greedy word can carry a Sturmian-like description: Sturmian words are exactly the words with $p(L)=L+1$ for all $L$, and the question is whether the greedy word is of that kind. The folder answers the factor-count question completely for one point of the regime ($L\\ge a_m+1$), answers it in the opposite short-window regime (Theorem 5, the *C1 regime*), and closes the Sturmian route negatively (Theorem 12). It also records the structure of the residual orbit that generates the support, because that orbit controls how fast the support grows, and the growth question is half answered: $A(N)=O_x(\\log\\log N)$ holds, while a matching lower bound is false for rational $x$ and open for irrational $x$.\n\nIn scope: the factor count of the greedy word, its corollaries, the onset question, the residual orbit and its maps, general alphabets and the inverse (complexity-from-alphabet) problem. Out of scope: anything about twin primes; any claim not carried by the ledgers reproduced in this folder.\n\n## 2. Setup and definitions\n\n**The greedy word.** Fix $x$ with $0<x<1$ and put $r_0=x$. At step $n=0,1,2,\\dots$ the rule is\n\n$$r_{n+1}=r_n-\\frac{1}{n+2}\\quad\\text{if } r_n\\ge \\frac{1}{n+2},\\qquad r_{n+1}=r_n \\quad\\text{otherwise},$$\n\nand the word is $w(x)=\\delta_0\\delta_1\\delta_2\\cdots$ with $\\delta_n=1$ exactly when the subtraction happened. The *support* is $S=\\{n:\\delta_n=1\\}$; ledger `ROUND-TRUTHS.md` §3 states that for rational $x$ this set is finite, so write\n\n$$S=\\{a_0<a_1<\\dots<a_m\\},\\qquad a_m=\\max S,\\qquad a_0=\\min S,$$\n\nand let $\\mathrm{span}=a_m-a_0$. Throughout, the word is truncated at length $N$, i.e. only positions $0,\\dots,N-1$ are read; the support sits inside the truncation, $S\\subseteq\\{0,\\dots,N-1\\}$, so $a_m<N$.\n\n**Factors.** For a window start $t$ and length $L$, the *factor* is the offset set\n\n$$F(t)=\\{\\,a-t:\\ a\\in S,\\ t\\le a\\le t+L-1\\,\\}\\subseteq\\{0,\\dots,L-1\\},$$\n\nand the *complexity* is\n\n$$p(L)=\\#\\{\\,F(t):\\ 0\\le t\\le N-L\\,\\}.$$\n\nThis is the definition of record of the folder: factors are offset **sets**, not bit strings; two windows give the same factor exactly when these sets agree, and the all-zero factor counts once however many windows realise it. The Python ground truth (`digitword.py`) and the Lean definition `Rh41.complexity` both implement this definition. The naive alternative — counting bit-string factors of the indicator word — agrees with it, and that agreement is itself proved (`Rh41.complexity_eq_bitComplexity`, claim A1; 59 267 checked cases in the round ledger).\n\n**Gaps and the extended support.** The consecutive gaps are $d_j=a_j-a_{j-1}$ for $1\\le j\\le m$. The extended support is the list $[-1]+S+[N]$; its consecutive gaps are $a_0+1$, the $d_j$, and $N-a_m$.\n\n**The onset.** $\\mathrm{onset}(w)=\\min\\{L: p(L)=\\max_{1\\le L'\\le N}p(L'\\})$; the Lean predicate `Rh41.IsOnset` is the least $L\\ge1$ at which $p$ attains its maximum over $[1,N]$.\n\n**The residual orbit.** Two derived quantities recur: $u=1/r$ and, for $q=\\lceil u\\rceil$, the *gap to the next integer* $s=q-u$; the *fractional-part bookkeeping* is $f=\\{1/r\\}$. The counting function of the support is\n\n$$A(N)=\\#\\{k:\\ n_k\\le N\\},$$\n\nwhere $n_0<n_1<\\dots$ are the indices of the original construction (the taken denominators), and $r_k$ is the residual at those indices.\n\n**Normalisation.** All statements below are about a support-with-truncation pair $(S,N)$ as above, or about the greedy word of a target $x\\in(0,1)$; no other normalisation is used. The $O_x$ notation always means \"with a constant depending on $x$\".\n\n## 3. Results\n\nStatuses are those of `TRUTHS.md` and `ROUND-TRUTHS.md`: **PROVED (Lean)** means machine-checked in this folder's Lean development; **VERIFIED** means recomputed by a script in this folder; **CHECKED** means exhaustively verified over a stated finite class. Where the Lean development corrected a printed statement, both the printed form and the correction are kept visible.\n\n### 3.1 The complexity law — PROVED (Lean)\n\n**Theorem 1 (complexity law; `TRUTHS.md` §1).** For $L\\ge\\max(\\mathrm{span},a_m+1)$ (and $1\\le L\\le N$),\n\n$$p(L)=\\min(a_m+1,\\,N-L+1)+\\bigl[\\,L\\le N-a_m-1\\,\\bigr],$$\n\nwhere $[\\,\\cdot\\,]$ is $1$ if the condition holds and $0$ otherwise. Status: **PROVED (Lean)**, `Rh41.DigitWord.complexity_main_TRUTHS`.\n\n*Proof (as carried by `ROUND-TRUTHS.md` §1 and `Rh41/DigitWord.lean`).* Let $t\\in[0,N-L]$. If the window $[t,t+L-1]$ contains $a_m$, then $a_m-t\\in F(t)$, and it is the **maximum** of $F(t)$: every offset is $a-t\\le a_m-t$ and non-negative. Hence $F(t)=F(t')$ forces $a_m-t=a_m-t'$, i.e. $t=t'$: the map $t\\mapsto F(t)$ is injective on the windows containing $a_m$. Those windows number\n\n$$\\max\\bigl(0,\\ \\min(a_m,N-L)-\\max(0,a_m-L+1)+1\\bigr)=\\min(a_m+1,\\,N-L+1),$$\n\nwhich is `Rh41.WindowCount.card_windows_containing`, proved for all $N,L,a_m$ with $1\\le L\\le N$ (see §4). A window that does not contain $a_m$ lies entirely to the right of $a_m$ — here $L\\ge a_m+1$ is what rules out a window lying to the left, since the support starts at $a_0\\ge0$ — so by `Rh41.factor_eq_empty_of_not` it meets no support point and contributes the single all-zero factor; such a window exists iff $a_m+1\\le N-L$, i.e. iff $L\\le N-a_m-1$. Adding the two contributions gives the formula. $\\square$\n\n**Correction 1 (redundant hypothesis).** The Lean development proves the sharper form with $L\\ge a_m+1$ alone (`Rh41.DigitWord.complexity_main`); the hypothesis $L\\ge\\mathrm{span}$ printed in `TRUTHS.md` is **redundant** and is kept only in the restatement `complexity_main_TRUTHS` that matches the printed hypotheses. Status of the correction: **PROVED (Lean)**; recorded in `LEAN-README.md` \"Corrections found while formalising\" item 4.\n\n**Corollary 2 (plateau; `TRUTHS.md` Cor. 2).** For $\\max(\\mathrm{span},a_m+1)\\le L\\le N-a_m-1$, $p(L)=a_m+2$. **PROVED (Lean)**, `Rh41.DigitWord.complexity_plateau`: in that range the indicator is $1$ and the minimum is $a_m+1$.\n\n**Corollary 3 (decay; `TRUTHS.md` Cor. 3).** For $L\\ge\\max(\\mathrm{span},a_m+1,N-a_m-1)$, $p(L)=N-L+1$; in particular $p(N)=1$ and $p(N-1)=2$. **PROVED (Lean)**, `Rh41.DigitWord.complexity_decay`, with the endpoints `complexity_eq_one_of_le` and `complexity_eq_two_of_pred`.\n\n**Corollary 4 (`TRUTHS.md` Cor. 4).** If $N\\ge 2a_m+2$ then $\\max_{1\\le L\\le N}p(L)=a_m+2$. **PROVED (Lean)**, `Rh41.DigitWord.max_complexity`, resting on the general bound $p(L)\\le a_m+2$ for **every** $L$ (`complexity_le_max_add_two`): there are at most $a_m+1$ windows starting at or before $a_m$, and every window starting later is empty. If $N<2a_m+2$ the plateau is empty and the maximum is smaller: for the support $\\{0,\\dots,199\\}$ and $N=259$ (where $2a_m+2=400$) the ledger records $\\max_L p(L)=60$, not $201$; this is `Rh41.DigitWord.plateau_empty_example`, proved with `native_decide`.\n\n**Necessity of the hypothesis in Theorem 1.** The bound $L\\ge a_m+1$ cannot be dropped: for the support $\\{0,1\\}$ at $N=2$, $L=1$ the formula reads $2$ while $p(1)=1$. **REFUTED (Lean witness)**, `Rh41.DigitWord.refuted_main_formula_all_L`.\n\n### 3.2 The short-window (C1) regime — PROVED (Lean)\n\n**Theorem 5 (C1 regime; `TRUTHS.md` §1).** If\n\n$$L\\le\\min\\Bigl(\\min_{1\\le j\\le m}d_j,\\ a_0,\\ N-a_0-1\\Bigr),$$\n\nthen $p(L)=L+1$. **PROVED (Lean)**, `Rh41.DigitWord.complexity_c1`. The argument: by the gap bound a window of length $L$ contains at most one support point, so the factor is either empty or a single offset; the bounds $L\\le a_0$ and $L\\le N-a_0-1$ make every offset achievable at at least one window, and $L+1$ counts the $L$ single-offset factors plus the all-zero one. **PROVED (Lean)** also: the conclusion fails for the three witnesses `c1_bound_a0_necessary` (support $\\{1\\}$, $N=3$, $L=2$: $p(2)=2\\ne3$), `c1_bound_gap_necessary` (the $1/\\pi$ support $\\{2,13,607\\}$, $N=1400$, $L=13$ with minimum gap $11$: $p=16\\ne14$), and `c1_bound_hedge_necessary` (support $\\{5\\}$, $N=8$, $L=4$: $p=4\\ne5$). Only the third isolates its bound: the first also violates $L\\le N-a_0-1=1$, and the second also violates $L\\le a_0=2$. Each bound is nevertheless necessary, by witnesses that violate it alone (**VERIFIED** by `chk.mjs`, not formalised): support $\\{0\\}$, $N=4$, $L=2$ violates only $L\\le a_0$ and has $p=2\\ne3$; support $\\{3,4\\}$, $N=8$, $L=2$ violates only the gap bound and has $p=4\\ne3$.\n\nThis is the C1 law $p(L)=L+1+\\#\\{j:d_j<L\\}$ in the regime where the correction vanishes. Only the vanishing regime is formalised; the corrected general form is stated in the ledger and left unformalised (`LEAN-README.md`, \"Not formalised\").\n\n### 3.3 Auxiliary structure — PROVED (Lean), previously CHECKED\n\n**All-zero factor (claim A2).** The all-zero factor occurs **iff** some gap of the extended support — between consecutive support points, before the first, or after the last — is $\\ge L+1$. Round ledger status **CHECKED** over 95 835 cases; the Lean development upgrades it to **PROVED** for all supports, truncations and window lengths (`Rh41.AllZero.allZero_iff_hasLargeGap`, with the shifted extended support $\\{0\\}\\cup\\{s+1:s\\in S\\}\\cup\\{N+1\\}$).\n\n**Window count (`TRUTHS.md` §2).** For $1\\le L\\le N$,\n\n$$\\#\\{t:\\ t\\le a_m\\le t+L-1\\}=\\max\\bigl(0,\\ \\min(a_m,N-L)-\\max(0,a_m-L+1)+1\\bigr).$$\n\nRound ledger status **CHECKED** over 25 044 603 cases; **PROVED (Lean)** for all $N,L,a_m$ (`Rh41.WindowCount.card_windows_containing`), stated in $\\mathbb{Z}$ to match the Python arithmetic.\n\n**Offset sets versus bit strings (claim A1).** The offset-tuple count equals the bit-string factor count, for every support and every $1\\le L\\le N$. Round ledger status **CHECKED** (59 267 cases, all words of length $\\le14$); **PROVED (Lean)** via the explicit bijection `toBit`/`bitFactor` (`Rh41.DigitWord.complexity_eq_bitComplexity`).\n\n**Theorem 6 (onset determinacy; `TRUTHS.md` §2).** $\\mathrm{onset}$ is **not** determined by the pair (gap sequence, $N$): the supports $\\{0,2\\}$ and $\\{1,3\\}$ have the same gap sequence and the same truncation $N=6$, but different onsets. Status: **PROVED (Lean, `native_decide`)**, `Rh41.DigitWord.onset_not_determined_by_gaps`; the round ledger treats the same statement as **CHECKED** (3 896 of 7 521 keys $(g,N)$ multi-valued). It *is* trivially determined by $(\\text{gaps},N,a_0)$, since those determine $S$; hence any formula for the onset must use absolute positions, not just the gaps.\n\n**Correction 2 (interchanged onsets).** The example printed in `TRUTHS.md` §5 has the two onsets **interchanged**: with $N=6$ the complexity profiles are $\\{0,2\\}\\mapsto(2,3,4,3,2,1)$ and $\\{1,3\\}\\mapsto(2,3,3,3,2,1)$, so the onsets are $3$ and $2$, not $2$ and $3$. The corrected values are the ones computed by `rigorous_check.py::onset` and proved by `onset_not_determined_by_gaps` (`LEAN-README.md` item 1). The wrong printed values remain visible in `TRUTHS.md` §5.\n\n### 3.4 The residual orbit — PROVED (Lean) and CHECKED\n\n**Squaring law (`TRUTHS.md` §3).** At an active step with $\\frac{1}{n+2}\\le r<\\frac1{n+1}$, and $f=\\{1/r\\}=1/r-(n+1)$,\n\n$$\\frac{r-\\frac{1}{n+2}}{r^2}=\\frac{1-f}{1+(1-f)r},\\qquad\\text{hence}\\qquad r_{k+1}\\le r_k^2 .$$\n\nStatus: **CHECKED** in the round ledger (max observed ratio $0.993905$); **PROVED (Lean)** as the exact identity `Rh41.Harmonic.squaring_identity` and the inequality `Rh41.Harmonic.squaring_law`. Consequence (corrected in version 2). Let $\\rho_k$ be the residual just before $n_k$ is taken, so $\\rho_0=x$, $\\frac1{n_k+2}\\le\\rho_k<\\frac1{n_k+1}$ and $\\rho_{k+1}=\\rho_k-\\frac1{n_k+2}\\le\\rho_k^2$. By induction $\\rho_k\\le x^{2^k}$, hence\n\n$$n_k\\ \\ge\\ (1/x)^{2^k}-2\\qquad(k\\ge0),$$\n\nso $n_k\\le N$ forces $2^k\\log(1/x)\\le\\log(N+2)$. If $A(N)\\ge1$, apply this to the largest such index, $k=A(N)-1$; if $A(N)=0$ there is nothing to bound. Hence\n\n$$A(N)=\\#\\{k: n_k\\le N\\}\\ \\le\\ \\max\\bigl(0,\\ \\log_2\\log(N+2)-\\log_2\\log(1/x)+1\\bigr)=\\log_2\\log N+O_x(1).$$\n\nThe $\\max$ is needed (corrected in version 3): the right-hand side alone is negative exactly when $N+2<x^{-1/2}$, and then $A(N)=0$ is larger than it. For example $x=1/100$ has $n_0=98$, and at $N=0$ the right-hand side is $\\log_2(\\log 2/\\log 100)+1\\approx-1.73$.\n\nThis is an **upper** bound. Version 1 printed the reverse, \"$n_k\\le(1/x)^{2^{k-1}}+1$ for $k\\ge2$, hence $A(N)=\\Omega_x(\\log\\log N)$\"; both halves are false. The squaring law bounds residuals from above and therefore indices from below. For $x=1/\\pi$ the support starts $2,13,607,845027,1010073215737$, and $n_2=607>\\pi^2+1\\approx10.87$, $n_3=845027>\\pi^4+1\\approx98.41$ (with $1$-based indexing, $13>10.87$ and $607>98.41$). For rational $x$ the support is finite, so $A(N)$ is bounded and no $\\Omega_x(\\log\\log N)$ lower bound can hold; for irrational $x$, $A(N)\\to\\infty$ but no growth rate is proved. **Status of the bound:** proved above on paper and **VERIFIED** by `chk.mjs` (exact arithmetic: the $1/\\pi$ orbit to $k=5$ and 20 219 taken terms of 3 000 random rationals). `chk.mjs` tested the displayed bound only at $N=n_j$, where $A(N)\\ge1$, so it never reached the case $A(N)=0$. Version 3 adds `chk3.mjs`, which uses exact rationals and covers every $N\\le20\\,000$ for 1 155 rational targets, plus $N=n_j$ beyond that range: 23 102 733 cases, with no failure of the $\\max$ form. The version-2 display fails in 734 cases, and every one of them has $A(N)=0$ and $N+2<x^{-1/2}$. It is not formalised: `squaring_law` is stated over $\\mathbb{Q}$, and neither the induction nor the passage to logarithms is in Lean.\n\n**Squaring law: the sharp half — REFUTED as a two-sided law.** $r'/r^2$ has **no positive lower bound**: for every $\\varepsilon>0$ there is an active step with $r'/r^2<\\varepsilon$ (witness $r=1/2+1/m$, $n=0$). Status: **PROVED (Lean)**, `Rh41.Harmonic.no_positive_lower_bound`; **CHECKED** numerically in the round ledger (minimum $1.58\\cdot10^{-4}$ over 4 000 exact rational orbits), and the refuted-list row is explicit: \"the residual-orbit average has a limit independent of $x$\" fails, since $q_0=4$, $q_{k+1}=2q_k^2$ gives limit $\\log(1/2)=-0.6931\\ldots$, not $-1$. Consequently no two-sided law $c\\,r_k^2\\le r_{k+1}\\le r_k^2$ with $c>0$ exists. The upper bound $A(N)=O_x(\\log\\log N)$ already follows from the one-sided law (above); what the refutation removes is the route to a matching **lower** bound, which is false for rational $x$ and **OPEN** for irrational $x$.\n\n**Theorem 7 (maps; `TRUTHS.md` §3).** With $u=1/r$, $q=\\lceil u\\rceil$, $s=q-u$,\n\n$$u'=\\frac{q^2}{s}-q,\\qquad s'=1-\\{q^2/s\\}.$$\n\nStatus: **PROVED (Lean)**, `Rh41.Harmonic.u_map`, `Rh41.Harmonic.induced_map`; the integral case $\\{q^2/s\\}=0$ is exactly the terminating step and is proved separately (`induced_map_int`). The induced map on $s$ is **not** the Gauss map (max deviation $0.85$, a measurement, not formalised), so the relevant density is Lebesgue, not Gauss–Kuzmin.\n\n**Hypotheses of Theorem 7 (correction).** The identity $u'=q^2/s-q$ requires the strict hypothesis $\\frac1{n+2}<r$: at equality the residual vanishes and $s=q-1/r$ becomes $0$. Likewise $s'=1-\\{q^2/s\\}$ needs $\\{q^2/s\\}\\ne0$. Both strict hypotheses are part of the formalised statements (`LEAN-README.md` item 5).\n\n**Theorem 8 (rational termination; `TRUTHS.md` §3).** Every rational $x\\in(0,1)$ terminates: the residual reaches $0$ at some finite step. Status: **PROVED (Lean)**, `Rh41.Harmonic.terminates_rat` (for $x=p/q$ with $0<p<q$), plus `terminates_of_pos_lt_one`, `terminates_from`, `residual_eventually_zero`. For $x=1$ the support is exactly $\\{0,1,4\\}$, since $1/2+1/3+1/6=1$ (`Rh41.Harmonic.taken_one_iff`). **CHECKED** numerically: all 277 reduced $p/q$ with $q\\le30$ terminate; 275 are reached within $n\\le5\\cdot10^6$, and the two deepest are $4/25$ at $53\\,307\\,974$ and $27/29$ at $1\\,003\\,066\\,151$ (round ledger §3; the two deep values are ledger data, beyond the cap of the script).\n\n**Correction 3 (the vanishing index for $x=1$).** The residual for $x=1$ first vanishes at index $5$, not $3$: `residual 0 1 3 = 1/6` and `residual 0 1 5 = 0`. The support is $\\{0,1,4\\}$ either way. Recorded in `Rh41/GreedyResidual.lean` §7.\n\n### 3.5 Alphabets and the inverse problem — PROVED (Lean), with three corrections\n\n**Theorem 9 (halting criterion, as printed; `TRUTHS.md` §4).** For a non-increasing positive alphabet $(\\alpha_n)$ and target $x$, the process halts finitely **iff** $\\sum_n\\alpha_n\\ge x$. **Correction 4: as printed this `iff` is FALSE.** The sound statements, both formalised in `Rh41/Alphabet.lean`, are:\n\n* if every finite partial sum is $<x$, then every index is taken, the residual equals $x-\\sum_{k<n}\\alpha_k$ and is $>0$ at every step, so the process never halts: `taken_all_of_bounded_partial_sums`, `never_halts_of_partial_sums_lt`, `residual_ge_sub_sum`, with the equivalent forms `partial_sums_iff` and `taken_all_of_bounded_partial_sums_mono` (the non-increasing hypothesis is kept in the `_mono` variant, not needed for this direction);\n* if the residual reaches $0$ at step $N$ then $x\\le\\sum_{k<N}\\alpha_k$: `le_sum_of_residual_eq_zero`, \"the only true direction of the printed `iff`\".\n\nThe inconsistency comes from two readings of \"termination\" in `TRUTHS.md` — the residual *hits* $0$, and the residual *tends* to $0$ — and the correction is recorded in `LEAN-README.md` item 2 with the two counterexamples: Theorem 10 row 3 has $\\sum\\alpha_n=\\infty$ and never halts, and $\\alpha_n=2^{-(n+1)}$ has $\\sum\\alpha_n=1=x$ with residual $2^{-n}>0$ at every finite step. For $\\alpha_n=(n+2)^{-p}$, $x=1$ the printed criterion reads $\\zeta(p)\\ge2$, i.e. $p\\le p^*$ with $p^*=1.7286472389981836181\\ldots$ ($\\zeta(p^*)=2$ exactly); the threshold is target-dependent, for $x=1/2$ it is the root of $\\zeta(p)=3/2$, namely $p=2.18528545179$.\n\n**Theorem 10 (structure, corrected; `TRUTHS.md` §4).** For $\\alpha_n=(n+2)^{-p}$, $x=1$, $p>1$, put $S=\\zeta(p)-1$. Then\n\n| case | word | halts? | gaps |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| $S<1$ ($p>p^*$) | $1^\\infty$ | never | all $1$ |\n| $S=1$ ($p=p^*$) | $1^\\infty$ | at the limit | all $1$ |\n| $S>1$ ($1<p\\le p^*$) | $1^{N-1}0\\cdots1\\,0\\cdots1\\cdots$ | **never** | **unbounded** |\n\n*Proof of the third row (round ledger §4).* After the initial segment ends at $N=\\min\\{n:\\sum_{k<n}\\alpha_k\\ge1\\}$, the residual $r=1-\\sum_{k<N-1}\\alpha_k$ is a fixed positive number while $\\alpha_k\\to0$; so $\\{k:\\alpha_k\\le r\\}$ is an infinite tail, every member of it is taken, and the residual never reaches $0$. $\\square$\n\n**Correction 5 (missing hypothesis in row 3).** \"The residual never reaches $0$\" is not automatic: row 3 needs the extra hypothesis \"no finite sub-sum of the alphabet equals $x$\". `Rh41.Alphabet.never_halts_of_tendsto_zero` states the theorem with that hypothesis explicit, and `powerAlpha_never_halts` / `powerAlpha_infinitely_many_taken` specialise it to $\\alpha_n=(n+2)^{-p}$; for that family the hypothesis holds because the sub-sums are irrational (`LEAN-README.md` item 3), a fact the ledger notes is **not formalised**. Concretely for $p=3/2$ the taken set is $\\{0,\\dots,8,34,954,77716,\\dots\\}$ with maximum gap $76\\,762$.\n\n**Theorem 11 (dichotomy false; `TRUTHS.md` §4).** $\\alpha_n=2^{-(n+1)}$, $x=1$ selects **every** index (gaps all $1$) and its residual is exactly $(1/2)^n$, which tends to $0$. Hence \"bounded gaps OR exact termination, never both\" is false. Status: **PROVED (Lean)**, `Rh41.Alphabet.expAlpha_bounded_gaps_and_termination`, `expAlpha_support_univ`, `expAlpha_residual`, `expAlpha_residual_tendsto_zero`; the residual is **positive at every finite step** (`expAlpha_residual_pos`), so \"terminates exactly\" is formalised as convergence to $0$, not finite termination (`LEAN-README.md` item 2).\n\n**Theorem 12 (inverse problem, impossibility half; `TRUTHS.md` §4).** Any alphabet with $\\sum\\alpha_n\\ge x$ halts (subject to Correction 4/5) and therefore has finitely many ones. By Corollary 4 its complexity satisfies $\\max_L p(L)=a_m+2$, a number; hence **no halting alphabet realises $p(L)=cL$** for any $c>0$, and in particular not the Sturmian profile $p(L)=L+1$. Exact termination and linear complexity growth are impossible. Status: **PROVED (Lean)**, `Rh41.Alphabet.no_linear_complexity_of_halting` and the finite-support forms `max_complexity_of_finite_support`, `no_linear_complexity_of_finite_support`, `no_sturmian_complexity_of_finite_support`; and process-independently `Rh41.Impossibility.no_linear_growth`, `no_affine_profile`, `no_sturmian_profile`.\n\n**Correction 6 (literal phrasing of Theorem 12).** \"For every $c>0$ there is $L$ with $p(L)<cL$\" is false for a *fixed* truncation $N$ once $cN\\le a_m+2$. The correct formalised version is `Impossibility.no_linear_growth`: for every $c>0$ there are $N$ and $L$ with $1\\le L\\le N$ and $p(L)<cL$ — the truncation is part of the data and may grow with $L$. `no_affine_profile` and `no_sturmian_profile` are the resulting impossibilities (`LEAN-README.md` item 6).\n\n**Open.** Non-monotone alphabets, where the taken set need not be an initial segment and richer profiles may occur (round ledger §4; untouched).\n\n### 3.6 Refuted formulas — REFUTED (Lean witnesses)\n\nThe six naive complexity formulas of `TRUTHS.md` §5 are refuted with explicit witnesses, all machine-checked:\n\n| statement | witness | Lean |\n|---|---|---|\n| $p(L)=\\min(a_m+1,N-L+1)+[L\\le N-a_m-1]$ for **all** $L$ | $S=\\{0,1\\}$, $N=2$, $L=1$: formula $2$, truth $1$ | `refuted_main_formula_all_L` |\n| $p(L)=L+1+\\#\\{\\text{pairs at distance}\\le L\\}$ | $1/\\pi$, $L=11$: $13$ vs $12$ | `refuted_pair_count_formula` |\n| $p(L)=L+1+\\#\\{\\text{distinct distances}\\le L\\}$ | $1/\\pi$, $L=11$: $13$ vs $12$ | `refuted_dist_count_formula` |\n| $p(L)=L+1+\\sum_j\\max(0,L-d_j)$ | $1/\\pi$, $L=20$: $30$ vs $24$ | `refuted_gap_deficit_formula` |\n| $p(L)=2L-10$ on $12\\le L\\le593$ | $1/\\pi$, $L=100$: $190$ vs $104$ | `refuted_slope_formula` |\n| $p(L)=\\min(L+\\mathrm{span},N-L+1)$ | $S=\\{139,151\\}$, $N=172$, $L=13$: $25$ vs $15$ | `refuted_span_formula` |\n\nThe ledger's remaining refuted rows, recorded but not formalised: the first-difference identity with a left-special correction (the left-special count is $0$ throughout; the correct correction is the count of length-$L$ factors with no right extension); \"$\\sum_j|\\text{intervals}|$ counts the factors\" (the intervals overlap); the residual-orbit average limit (see §3.4); $A(N)=\\log_2\\log N+O(1)$ with an explicit constant; the bounded-gap claim for $\\alpha_n=(n+2)^{-3/2}$ (max gap $76\\,762$); the dichotomy of Theorem 11; and the onset-as-a-function-of-gaps claim.\n\n## 4.

The run performed while preparing this manuscript reached the same PASS lines for sections A–D and E–I without any `FAIL` line (the transcript is long; the ledger's \"31/31\" is the authoritative summary). Of the 31 checks, E2 (`rigorous_check.py` l.314) passes the constant `True` with the note \"see E1 and E3\", and its label states the false lower bound $A(N)=\\Omega_x(\\log\\log N)$ corrected in §3.4; the substantive count is 30. Review #1530 reran the script (it needs `mpmath`) and saw `ALL 31 CHECKS PASS`.

Consequently the command as written fails with `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rh41'`. The statement-shape counts it reports when the import resolves are, however, recorded in `LEAN-README.md`: Theorem 1 over 397 214 cases, Theorem 5 over 117 011, claim A2 over 1 444 551, the window count over 10 850, Theorem 6 onsets (2 cases), the rational-termination census (277) — 1 969 905 cases in total, no violations.\n\n**Recorded but not re-run here**: the full `crosscheck.py` run (blocked by the missing `rh41` package, as above), and the numeric constants that no script in this folder formalises or re-derives: $p^*=1.7286472389981836181$, the root of $\\zeta(p)=3/2$ at $2.18528545179$, the observed minimum $1.58\\cdot10^{-4}$ of $r'/r^2$ (this one *is* re-derived by `rigorous_check.py` E3), the max deviation $0.85$ of the induced map from the Gauss map, and the max gap $76\\,762$ for $p=3/2$. These are ledger figures, cited here as such.\n\n### 4.3 Trust boundary\n\nThe only non-constructive ingredients in the Lean development are classical logic and Mathlib's standard axioms (`LEAN-README.md`, \"Trust and methodology\"): no `sorry`, no `admit`, no project-specific `axiom`. A named list of theorems is proved with `native_decide` and therefore relies on compiled evaluation (`Lean.ofReduceBool`) rather than pure kernel reduction: `DigitWord.onset_not_determined_by_gaps` (its gap-sequence part), `refuted_pair_count_formula`, `refuted_dist_count_formula`, `refuted_gap_deficit_formula`, `refuted_slope_formula`, `refuted_span_formula`, `plateau_empty_example`, and `c1_bound_gap_necessary`. `Rh41/Alphabet.lean`, `Rh41/GreedyResidual.lean`, `Rh41/AllZero.lean`, `Rh41/WindowCount.lean` and `Rh41/Impossibility.lean` use none. This is the one caveat the README attaches to the item.\n\n## 5. What is not claimed\n\n* **Not the twin prime conjecture.** Nothing in this folder bears on it; the programme's papers do not prove it and this one does not either.\n* **Not a Sturmian description of the greedy word.** The opposite is proved: no halting alphabet gives $p(L)=cL$, in particular not $p(L)=L+1$ (Theorem 12).\n* **Not a lower bound for $A(N)$.** Only the upper bound $A(N)\\le\\log_2\\log N+O_x(1)$ is proved (§3.4). A lower bound of order $\\log\\log N$ is false for rational $x$ (finite support) and open for irrational $x$, and the two-sided squaring law that would give it is refuted (no positive lower bound for $r'/r^2$). Version 1 stated the bound in the wrong direction.\n* **Theorem 9 in its printed `iff` form is false**, and Theorem 10 row 3 needs its extra hypothesis \"no finite sub-sum equals $x$\" — see Corrections 4 and 5. The printed forms are quoted because the source prints them.\n* **Not formalised:** the numerical constants $p^*$ and the $x=1/2$ root $2.18528545179$; the observed minimum of $r'/r^2$; the \"not the Gauss map\" measurement; the visible orbit data (max gap $76\\,762$); the supports such as $1/\\pi$ as objects; the passage from $r_{k+1}\\le r_k^2$ (over $\\mathbb{R}$) to the bound on $n_k$ and the logarithm statement; the C1 law's general form $p(L)=L+1+\\#\\{j:d_j<L\\}$; the first-difference (Cassaigne) rows; and the irrationality of the sub-sums of $(n+2)^{-p}$ that discharges Correction 5's hypothesis. `LEAN-README.md` lists all of these under \"Not formalised\".\n* **Corrected earlier claims, kept visible:** (1) the onset example's two values were printed interchanged; (2) Theorem 9's `iff` is false as printed; (3) Theorem 10 row 3 was missing a hypothesis; (4) Theorem 1's span hypothesis is redundant; (5) Theorems 7's identities need strict hypotheses, and the integral case is separate; (6) Theorem 12's literal phrasing is false for a fixed truncation. Each is stated above next to the claim it corrects, together with the corrected statement.\n\n## 6. Value and significance\n\nThe folder closes the factor-complexity question for the greedy digit word in the regime $L\\ge a_m+1$, with a proof that is a two-line injectivity argument plus an exact window count, and it closes it in the opposite short-window regime with the C1 law. It also settles the Sturmian question negatively: the greedy word cannot have linear complexity, so a Sturmian-like description of $w(x)$ is not available, and the reason is not the greedy rule but the finiteness of the support. The refuted list is worth as much as the positive results: six plausible formulas are killed with minimal witnesses, and the two-sided squaring law — the only route in the programme's own record to a lower bound matching the one-sided upper bound $A(N)=O_x(\\log\\log N)$ — is proved impossible, which re-aims the open problem instead of leaving it as a hope. Finally the Lean development corrects six printed statements; those corrections are part of the contribution, because the Python ground truth, the Lean statements and the prose ledger now agree, and the places where they previously disagreed are exactly the places where the mathematics had been mis-stated.\n\n## Sources\n\nAll paths are relative to this folder (`research/publish/002-greedy-digit-word`).
