The strong six exponentials theorem cannot refute a generic candidate, even with iπi\piiπ.

Let u≠0u \neq 0u=0 with ∣u∣2|u|^{2}∣u∣2 algebraic, and suppose that uuu and iπi\piiπ are algebraically independent over Q‾\overline{\mathbb{Q}}Q​. Then there are no x1,x2x_1, x_2x1​,x2​, linearly independent over Q‾\overline{\mathbb{Q}}Q​, and y1,y2,y3y_1, y_2, y_3y1​,y2​,y3​, linearly independent over Q‾\overline{\mathbb{Q}}Q​, such that all six products xiyjx_i y_jxi​yj​ lie in the Q‾\overline{\mathbb{Q}}Q​-span of 1,u,uˉ,iπ1, u, \bar u, i\pi1,u,uˉ,iπ.

Roy's strong six exponentials theorem says that for such xxx and yyy one of the six products lies outside Q‾+Q‾L\overline{\mathbb{Q}} + \overline{\mathbb{Q}}\mathcal{L}Q​+Q​L. A candidate for Diaz's conjecture certifies uuu, uˉ\bar uuˉ and iπi\piiπ as logarithms of algebraic numbers, and its algebraic modulus makes the constant available. This node shows that these four dimensions never hold a configuration, so the theorem gives nothing against a generic candidate. It extends DiazModulus.sixExponentials_cannot_refute_candidate from 1,u,uˉ1, u, \bar u1,u,uˉ to 1,u,uˉ,iπ1, u, \bar u, i\pi1,u,uˉ,iπ, where counting dimensions no longer suffices: the proof uses that every quadratic relation among 1,u,uˉ,iπ1, u, \bar u, i\pi1,u,uˉ,iπ is a multiple of the norm (DiazModulus.generic_quadratic_relation_is_norm). G. Diaz (2007) remarks that the strong six exponentials theorem has produced no example of a λ\lambdaλ with ∣λ∣∉Q‾+Q‾L|\lambda| \notin \overline{\mathbb{Q}} + \overline{\mathbb{Q}}\mathcal{L}∣λ∣∈/Q​+Q​L; on a generic candidate's own data, this node is one reason.

Novelty. None claimed. Elementary given the norm lemma; not found in Diaz (2007), Waldschmidt (2005) or Roy–Waldschmidt (1997).
