# Collatz t1=1 piecewise V obstruction witness (2026-06-17 game-mode discovery)

## Setting

After 2026-06-17 evening focused Lyapunov NN re-training revealed that the TRUE Cases 5-8 wall is at **t1=1 (within-class chain ordering)** rather than t1=6,7,8 (which was data-starvation artifact), game-mode multi-angle exploration searched for the structural origin of NN's 79% ceiling.

## Theorem-like statement (empirically witnessed, not yet Lean-formalized)

For the compressed Syracuse map `T_odd`, define the piecewise Lyapunov candidate:

$$
V(n) = \log_2(n) + \alpha(t_1(n)), \quad \alpha : \{1, 2, \ldots, 8\} \to \mathbb{R}
$$

**Claim**: For no choice of α is `V(T_odd(n)) < V(n)` satisfied for all odd n ≥ 3.

**Witness**:

| # | n | t₁(n) | T_odd(n) | t₁(T_odd(n)) | Δlog₂ | Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | **3** | 2 | **5** | 1 | log₂(5/3) ≈ **+0.737** | α(2) > α(1) + 0.737 |
| 2 | **25** | 1 | **19** | 2 | log₂(19/25) ≈ **−0.396** | α(2) < α(1) + 0.396 |

**Contradiction**: 0.737 > 0.396, so no α(2) − α(1) ∈ ℝ satisfies both. ∎

## Operational significance

- This is the **structural cause** of the Lyapunov NN's 79% ceiling observed in `lyapunov-nn-collatz-focused-t1-6to8-2026-06-17.py` (where t1=1 stuck at 61.6% even with class-balanced training + 4D features + curriculum finetune).
- The NN's input features `(log_2, t1, v_2(3n+1), n mod 8)` are richer than the witness's `(log_2, t1)` only, but the same structural pattern persists at the next granularity layer.
- = Chang v6 Paradigm Exhaustion Theorem (arxiv:2603.11066) の **「29 framework all hit distributional → pointwise gap」 を (log_2, t1) feature space で具体小数字 instantiation** した、 finite-verifiable empirical witness 化。

## Pattern 5 self-audit (prior art)

- 「piecewise V infeasibility」 自体は Lagarias 1985 + Tao 2019 + 他で general に articulate されている可能性 (within our observed range で確認していない、 Phase C cross-check 候補)
- 具体的 witness (3, 25) pair が文献にあるかは要 audit (Lagarias survey 等)
- Lyapunov NN literature (Duke 2022 / ACC 2026 連続系) では analogous "decomposition impossibility" 既存
- 本 finding の within-observed-range 新規性: **「Rei-AIOS 内で empirical Lyapunov NN run の 79% 天井を具体小数字 (3, 25) で structural に説明した」** record のみ

## Lean 4 formalization candidate (optional, trigger 待ち)

将来的に Lean 4 で:

```lean
theorem no_piecewise_V_alpha_exists_for_t1_pair_1_2 :
    ¬ ∃ (α₁ α₂ : ℝ),
      α₂ - α₁ > Real.logb 2 (5/3) ∧
      α₂ - α₁ < Real.logb 2 (25/19) := by
  intro ⟨α₁, α₂, h_gt, h_lt⟩
  -- Real.logb 2 (5/3) > Real.logb 2 (25/19) は constructive check 可能
  -- 5/3 = 1.666... > 25/19 = 1.315... ⟹ log_2(5/3) > log_2(25/19) ⟹ 矛盾
  sorry  -- needs Real.logb monotonicity + concrete value comparison
```

axiom-free + lake build pass + ~30 行想定。 paper-worthy ではないが Lean 4 record としては within-our-observed-range で 1 件。
