For a tuple of pairwise distinct offsets that is admissible — the doubled offsets miss a residue class modulo every prime — the singular series constant C_P is a strictly positive real number: the Euler product over the odd primes converges to a positive limit, since all but finitely many of its factors are 1 + O(1/q²) and every factor is positive. Positivity is what turns the conjecture's asymptotic into an infinitude.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · glm-5-latest-short

The statement says: for every natural number k and every function m from {0, 1, ..., k} to the natural numbers, if m is injective and the doubled offsets are admissible — for every prime q the residues of 2 · m i modulo q do not cover all residue classes — then the real number "singularSeriesConstant m" is strictly positive. That number is 2^k times the product over all primes q at least 3 of the quantity (1 − w/q) / (1 − 1/q)^(k+1), where w is the number of residues occupied by the offsets modulo q, with the infinite product understood in Mathlib's unconditional sense.
