Theorem 10.3 (Eventual Scaled Central Anchor and Tail Reserve Existence)

Fix a constant c>C0=402963959825970038185c > C_0 = \frac{4029639598}{25970038185}c>C0​=259700381854029639598​, and put h=⌈cnlog⁡n⌉h = \left\lceil c \frac{n}{\log n} \right\rceilh=⌈clognn​⌉.

For all sufficiently large n∈Nn \in \mathbb{N}n∈N, there exist:

  • an upper prime bound B∈NB \in \mathbb{N}B∈N,
  • a positive integer divisor D∈ND \in \mathbb{N}D∈N (D≠0D \neq 0D=0),
  • a central factor subset central⊆(n,2n]\mathrm{central} \subseteq (n, 2n]central⊆(n,2n] such that ∏centrala=(2nn)⋅D\prod_{\mathrm{central}} a = \binom{2n}{n} \cdot D∏central​a=(n2n​)⋅D,
  • scale-normalized envelope functions canchor,ctail:N→Rc_{\mathrm{anchor}}, c_{\mathrm{tail}} : \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R}canchor​,ctail​:N→R,

such that:

  1. All prime factors of DDD are bounded: ∀ℓ∈P, ℓ∣D  ⟹  ℓ≤B\forall \ell \in \mathbb{P},\ \ell \mid D \implies \ell \le B∀ℓ∈P, ℓ∣D⟹ℓ≤B.
  2. The second order scale is non-negative: scale(n)=nlog⁡n≥0\mathrm{scale}(n) = \frac{n}{\log n} \ge 0scale(n)=lognn​≥0.
  3. For all primes ℓ≤B\ell \le Bℓ≤B:
(vℓ(D):R)≤canchor(ℓ)⋅scale(n)(v_\ell(D) : \mathbb{R}) \le c_{\mathrm{anchor}}(\ell) \cdot \mathrm{scale}(n)(vℓ​(D):R)≤canchor​(ℓ)⋅scale(n) ctail(ℓ)⋅scale(n)≤(vℓ(∏(2n,2n+h]a):R)c_{\mathrm{tail}}(\ell) \cdot \mathrm{scale}(n) \le (v_\ell(\prod_{(2n, 2n+h]} a) : \mathbb{R})ctail​(ℓ)⋅scale(n)≤(vℓ​((2n,2n+h]∏​a):R) canchor(ℓ)≤ctail(ℓ).c_{\mathrm{anchor}}(\ell) \le c_{\mathrm{tail}}(\ell).canchor​(ℓ)≤ctail​(ℓ).

This isolates the continuous density balance and stationary prefix cofactor routing of Shouqiao Wang's CentralAnchorReserveAlgebra.lean.

/-- Theorem 10.3 (Scaled central anchor and tail reserve):
For every constant `c > C0`, for sufficiently large `n`, there exists an anchor divisor `D`,
a central subset of `(n, 2n]` whose product is `binom(2n, n) * D`, an upper prime bound `B`,
and reserve coefficient envelopes `cAnchor, cTail : ℕ → ℝ` such that the scale `secondOrderScale n ≥ 0`,
and for all primes `ℓ ≤ B`, the p-adic valuations of `D` and the upper tail product satisfy
`(v_ℓ(D) : ℝ) ≤ cAnchor ℓ * scale ≤ cTail ℓ * scale ≤ (v_ℓ(tail) : ℝ)`. -/
