Let KKK be a field, let 2≤3τ≤32\le 3\tau\le32≤3τ≤3, and fix a nonnegative base VVV strictly below the Davie–Stothers value

R224=(2H+L)2(2+2E+H)H.R_{224}=\frac{(2H+L)^2(2+2E+H)}{H}.R224​=H(2H+L)2(2+2E+H)​.

Then there are tensor powers s(n)→∞s(n)\to\inftys(n)→∞ and real losses ℓ(n)→0\ell(n)\to0ℓ(n)→0 such that, eventually, the s(n)s(n)s(n)-th power of the cyclic symmetrization of the literal constituent φ224\varphi_{224}φ224​ restricts to a finite direct sum of matrix-multiplication tensors whose τ\tauτ-weighted volume is at least

Vs(n)(1−ℓ(n)).V^{s(n)}(1-\ell(n)).Vs(n)(1−ℓ(n)).

This is the finite-extraction form of Lemma 5.1(iv). It keeps the literal nine-component type-2 profile, progression-free hashing, and subexponential loss visible, while avoiding an unjustified claim at the limiting endpoint itself.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions.
