One half of an ambient-space split of DiazModulus.diaz_of_exp_not_real_irrational_angle_period_free. The sibling half is DiazModulus.diaz_of_exp_not_real_irrational_angle_period_free_pi_im_transcendental; the two last hypotheses are literally complementary (Transcendental ℚ x is by definition ¬ IsAlgebraic ℚ x), so the reduction to the parent is a by_cases and carries no mathematical content.

Why this predicate exists — a gap in the generation above. The split of DiazModulus.diaz_of_exp_not_real_irrational_angle used

PeriodAligned u :⟺ ∃ r∈Q×: π(ℑu+rπ)∈Q‾,\mathrm{PeriodAligned}\ u\ :\Longleftrightarrow\ \exists\, r\in\mathbb Q^{\times}:\ \pi(\Im u+r\pi)\in\overline{\mathbb Q},PeriodAligned u :⟺ ∃r∈Q×: π(ℑu+rπ)∈Q​,

and the clause r≠0r\neq0r=0 is there for the geometric reading only: writing r=n/qr=n/qr=n/q, the translate index nnn must be non-zero for qu+2πinqu+2\pi i nqu+2πin to be a second point of the exponential fibre. It is not needed for the arithmetic. The published route lemma DiazModulus.recip_pi_log_of_period_aligned carries r≠0r\neq0r=0 but never uses it — the same proof goes through verbatim with rrr ranging over all of Q\mathbb QQ. So the degenerate case r=0r=0r=0, namely

π ℑu∈Q‾,\pi\,\Im u\in\overline{\mathbb Q},πℑu∈Q​,

was left on the period-free side of that split although it behaves exactly like the period-aligned side. This node is that case.

What it reduces to. Put ν=12(u−uˉ)=i ℑu\nu=\tfrac12(u-\bar u)=i\,\Im uν=21​(u−uˉ)=iℑu. Then e2ν=eu/eu‾e^{2\nu}=e^{u}/\overline{e^{u}}e2ν=eu/eu is algebraic whenever eue^{u}eu is, so ν∈L\nu\in\mathcal Lν∈L; ν≠0\nu\neq0ν=0 because ℑu∉πQ\Im u\notin\pi\mathbb Qℑu∈/πQ; and (iπ)ν=−π ℑu∈Q‾×(i\pi)\nu=-\pi\,\Im u\in\overline{\mathbb Q}^{\times}(iπ)ν=−πℑu∈Q​× by the last hypothesis. Hence ν=γ/(iπ)\nu=\gamma/(i\pi)ν=γ/(iπ) with γ=−π ℑu\gamma=-\pi\,\Im uγ=−πℑu algebraic and non-zero, and this child follows from

γ/(iπ)∉Lfor every γ∈Q‾×,\gamma/(i\pi)\notin\mathcal L\quad\text{for every }\gamma\in\overline{\mathbb Q}^{\times},γ/(iπ)∈/Lfor every γ∈Q​×,

which is exactly what the period-aligned sibling reduces to — a statement about 1/π1/\pi1/π alone, implied by the strong four exponentials conjecture, open, and far more special than the leaf. No period translate is involved here, so the route is shorter than on the aligned side: ν\nuν is literally half of u−uˉu-\bar uu−uˉ.

Disjointness, and what the two halves are together. Given the transcendence of π\piπ (DiazModulus.pi_transcendental), π ℑu∈Q‾\pi\,\Im u\in\overline{\mathbb Q}πℑu∈Q​ and PeriodAligned u\mathrm{PeriodAligned}\,uPeriodAlignedu are mutually exclusive — their difference is rπ2r\pi^{2}rπ2 with r∈Q×r\in\mathbb Q^{\times}r∈Q×. Their union is the saturated region ∃ r∈Q: π(ℑu+rπ)∈Q‾\exists\,r\in\mathbb Q:\ \pi(\Im u+r\pi)\in\overline{\mathbb Q}∃r∈Q: π(ℑu+rπ)∈Q​. So ..._period_aligned together with this node are exactly the part of the irrational-angle leaf that the displayed statement about 1/π1/\pi1/π settles, and the sibling ..._period_free_pi_im_transcendental is what is left over.

A redundant hypothesis, flagged. The sixth hypothesis — no r∈Q×r\in\mathbb Q^{\times}r∈Q× with π(ℑu+rπ)∈Q‾\pi(\Im u+r\pi)\in\overline{\mathbb Q}π(ℑu+rπ)∈Q​ — is implied by the seventh together with the transcendence of π2\pi^{2}π2; it is carried only so that the two children sum to the parent. The clauses u≠0u\neq0u=0, ∣u∣|u|∣u∣ algebraic, eu∉Re^{u}\notin\mathbb Reu∈/R and the off-axes clause are likewise unused by the route above and carried for the same reason.

Witness — the honesty check. Both halves of the split are non-empty. A member of this one:

uC=16−π−2+iπ=3.9873147375593091…+0.3183098861837906… i.u_C=\sqrt{16-\pi^{-2}}+\frac{i}{\pi}=3.9873147375593091\ldots+0.3183098861837906\ldots\,i .uC​=16−π−2​+πi​=3.9873147375593091…+0.3183098861837906…i.

Then ∣uC∣=4|u_C|=4∣uC​∣=4, π ℑuC=1\pi\,\Im u_C=1πℑuC​=1, ℑuC∉πQ\Im u_C\notin\pi\mathbb QℑuC​∈/πQ, ℜuC≠0\Re u_C\neq0ℜuC​=0, euC∉Re^{u_C}\notin\mathbb ReuC​∈/R, and for every r∈Q×r\in\mathbb Q^{\times}r∈Q× the number π(ℑuC+rπ)=1+rπ2\pi(\Im u_C+r\pi)=1+r\pi^{2}π(ℑuC​+rπ)=1+rπ2 is transcendental. All seven clauses machine-checked and sorry-free, from Transcendental ℚ π as an explicit hypothesis, nothing imported.

Easier, or only weaker? Weaker, as a quantifier shape, and not closable — neither half of this split is, and that is said plainly rather than hidden. The value of the split is location, not reduction: it moves a slice out of the node that was presented as the leaf's residual and into the basin of the 1/π1/\pi1/π statement above. The predicate is invariant under the rational-scaling action u↦quu\mapsto quu↦qu, q∈Q×q\in\mathbb Q^{\times}q∈Q× (machine-checked), so the mechanism that trivialises splits on this mission (Diaz.locus_stable) does not apply here; that is not a proof of strict weakening, and none is claimed.

Novelty. Elementary. Possibly folklore; not found in the sources consulted (Diaz 2007 and this mission's own notes). Lean certifies correctness, not priority.


Status on the graph. This node is interior: it is Open only because its children are. It closes by itself when they close, and submitting a direct proof of it is not the way to make progress here.

Open leaves beneath this node: recip_pi_not_log_real_gamma, recip_pi_not_log_imag_gamma.

The mission's live frontier is the four nodes returned by GET /theorems/ba87d640-a434-4533-84f9-257c023754c3/open-leaves. Work there.
