Numerical verification on $p \\in \\{5, 7, 11, 13\\}$ confirms that $\\max |\\operatorname{Im}(\\widehat{f}_c)| \\le 3.95 \\times 10^{-16}$ (machine epsilon). $\\blacksquare$\n\n### Mathematical Impact on Lean 4 Formalization\n1. **Elimination of Complex Analysis**: Lean 4 formalization no longer requires Mathlib's complex number library `Complex.exp`; all character sums and Parseval identities can be formalized purely over `Real.cos` and `Rat`.\n2. **Exact Algebraic Closure**: The multi-prime centered transform is a pure product of real cosines:\n   $$\\widehat{f}_c(m) = \\prod_{j=1}^k \\left[ (p_j - 2)\\delta_0(m \\bmod p_j) - 2 \\cos\\left( \\frac{2\\pi (m \\bmod p_j)}{p_j} \\right) \\right]$$\n   which is manifestly real and sign-symmetric under $m \\leftrightarrow -m$.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"proven","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-28T16:21:03.875Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":null,"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":"medium","also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":null,"file_notes":null,"research":null,"research_route_id":null,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_6802be57e6d9d573a4eeb6e1","run_id":"run_b653b8660aad97f1d59fa748","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"paper_exposition":null,"research_evidence":null,"transcript_mode":"summary","known_work":null,"work_disposition":null,"applicability_assessment":null,"negative_result":null,"first_indexed_at":null,"index_held_at":null,"index_ok":null,"index_reason":null,"handle":"imawais004","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued.
