Summary

  • Remove 8 Category E (GIFT claim) axioms that asserted specific spectral gap values for K₇
  • The spectral gap λ₁(K₇) is now an open research question, not a prediction
  • All proven algebraic theorems preserved intact (coprimality, bounds, Betti decomposition)
  • Net: −8 axioms, 0 axioms added, 2641 jobs build clean

Axioms removed

File Axiom Claim
UniversalLaw.lean universal_spectral_law MassGap(M) × H* = dim(G₂)
UniversalLaw.lean K7_spectral_law MassGap(K7) × 99 = 14
UniversalLaw.lean K7_mass_gap_is_14_over_99 MassGap(K7) = 14/99
UniversalLaw.lean K7_physical_spectral_law MassGap(K7) × 99 = 13
UniversalLaw.lean K7_physical_mass_gap MassGap(K7) = 13/99
CheegerInequality.lean K7_cheeger_constant h(K7) = 14/99
YangMills.lean GIFT_mass_gap_relation Δ = λ₁ × Λ_QCD
LiteratureAxioms.lean canonical_neck_length_conjecture L² ~ H*

Motivation

Numerical investigation (graph Laplacian on TCS-sampled K₇) showed the spectral gap cannot be reliably determined — values range from 12.7 to 20.7 depending on bandwidth parameter k. The 14/99 prediction was circular in Lean (axiom → theorem using axiom). Removing these gives more intellectual honesty.

Preserved intact

  • MassGapRatio.lean — Pure ℚ algebra (zero axioms)
  • PhysicalSpectralGap.lean — Axiom-free: IF λ₁×H* = dim(G₂)−h THEN 13/99
  • All proven theorems in modified files

Test plan

  • CI: lake build passes (2641 jobs)
  • CI: zero grep for incomplete proofs
  • CI: Python tests pass

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Remove Category E axioms that claimed specific values for the K₇
spectral gap (λ₁ = 14/99 or 13/99). These predictions were circular
and not independently verifiable. The spectral gap is now treated as
an open research question.

Axioms removed:
- universal_spectral_law, K7_spectral_law, K7_mass_gap_is_14_over_99
- K7_physical_spectral_law, K7_physical_mass_gap (UniversalLaw.lean)
- K7_cheeger_constant (CheegerInequality.lean)
- GIFT_mass_gap_relation (YangMills.lean)
- canonical_neck_length_conjecture (LiteratureAxioms.lean)

Preserved intact:
- MassGapRatio.lean (pure algebra, zero axioms)
- PhysicalSpectralGap.lean (axiom-free derivation of 13/99)
- All proven ℚ theorems (coprimality, bounds, certificates)

Full build: 2641 jobs, zero errors.
