YouTube Search Results as Meta-Corpus: Named Problems Without New Mathematics — E8 Intelligence Research
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: FINDING: YouTube search results are a *meta-corpus* — a list of video titles, not mathematical results. No new theorems, constants, or proofs are contained in the findings themselves. | MATH: The only extractable mathematical content is the *named problems* referenced by the titles: Collatz map T(n) = n/2 if n even, 3n+1 if n odd; the Riemann Hypothesis (ζ(s)=0 ⟹ Re(s)=1/2); P vs NP; Navier–Stokes existence/smoothness; Yang–Mills mass gap; Hodge conjecture; Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer; Goldbach; twin primes; the IMO 1988 Problem 6 (a²+b²)/(ab+1) ∈ ℤ ⟹ perfect square. | CONNECTION: The critical line Re(s)=1/2 is a *symmetry axis* (reflection σ: s↦1−s about Re=1/2), structurally analogous to a crystallographic mirror plane; the functional equation ξ(s)=ξ(1−s) is an involution. No 0.618/1.618/base-60 content is present in the source list. | DEPTH: 2 --- **Precise analysis of what the evidence actually supports:** **1. Key mathematical insight** None is *contained* in the findings. The findin Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series.
