Depends on: ES-SQUARE-COMPLETION-TRAP-GEOMETRY.md, ES-SQUARE-TRAP-SIGNED-BOX-IDENTITY.md
Claim boundary: proves strict layerwise enlargement beyond López A/B for every squarefree semiprime layer. It does not prove that every prime is captured by one of these new residues.
1. Setup
Let
with distinct primes
Put
The complete square-divisor parameter set is
The midpoint is (1,1).
The López lower and upper orthants contain every point except
Thus the only mixed square divisors are
2. Signed-box form
The centered exponent box is
By
the two mixed signed values are
and
The López boundary signed values are
Therefore the mixed trap residue -x would collide with the López trap exactly if
We prove this is impossible.
3. The easy boundary collisions
x = 1
This would give
But
so it would force u=v, contradiction.
x = u
Cancelling the unit u gives
hence
But
Impossible.
x = v^{-1}
Multiplying by v gives
again impossible because
x = u^{-1}
This gives
Both u^2 and v are strictly smaller than m because
and
Thus the congruence would force
impossible for distinct primes.
x = (uv)^{-1}
Multiplying by uv gives
But
so this is impossible.
4. The collision x = v
Assume
Then
for some positive integer t.
Because
we have
Reduce the displayed equation modulo v:
Hence
Since
and
we obtain
Substitution gives
so
Cancelling v yields
which is composite. Contradiction.
Therefore
5. The collision x = uv
Assume
Cancelling u gives
so
for some positive integer t.
Again
Modulo v,
so
The size bound forces
Thus
and therefore
again impossible for the prime v.
Hence
6. Exact strict-enlargement theorem
All seven López boundary possibilities have been excluded. Therefore
Since B is inversion-stable, its inverse also lies outside:
Returning to trap residues, both mixed square-divisor parameters represent residues outside the old López layer unless the two mixed residues collide with each other. In all cases the completed residue set is strictly larger than the López set.
Thus:
Theorem — squarefree semiprime strict completion
For every pair of distinct primes u<v,
The strict enlargement is supplied by the mixed square divisors
whose signed ratios
lie outside both López boundary orthants modulo 4uv-1.
7. Dimension-two dichotomy
This yields a clean first classification by support dimension:
One prime in the layer index
If
then
There is no mixed geometry.
Two distinct simple primes
If
then
The completion necessarily creates a genuine mixed inverse pair outside the López boundary.
Thus the very first multidimensional layer family already exhibits unavoidable new Type-II residue geometry.
8. Next target
The next problem is no longer whether squarefree semiprime layers add new residues. They always do.
The useful questions are:
- when are the two mixed residues distinct from each other;
- when does either mixed residue survive hard-class admissibility;
- when is a mixed semiprime residue directly shadowed by an earlier completed layer;
- whether semiprime mixed residues account for a positive proportion of the finite completed-depth improvements over López A/B.
Because the entire new region has only two parameters, this is the lowest-dimensional nontrivial testbed for the unified Kneser-plus-ancestry program.
