Failure of Antisymmetry and of the Cyclic Jacobi Identity for a Specified Finite-Fourier Tethered Operation (Companion paper II)
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Companion paper II, version 1.1 (finite-Fourier model, machine-checked). For the vector-valued tethered operation {a,b} = [a,b] + T(a,b) with tether axis u_Y = (sin y, 0, 0) and the divergence-free field a_Z = (0, 0, sin x), the Jacobiator J(a_Z, a_Z, a_Z) is nonzero when κw ≠ 0: its z-component at mode e^{i(x+y)} equals (3i/8)κw. A separate finite-dimensional witness (u = e_1, cross-product bracket on ℝ^3) gives the nonzero Jacobiator (κw)e_2. Because T is symmetric the operation is not antisymmetric, and both witnesses repeat arguments. This is a valid algebraic failure of the cyclic Jacobi identity for this specified operation. It is not a failure of the Lie part (which satisfies Jacobi), not a Poisson-bracket failure, and not a geometric refutation. What Lean checks. shearY_transverse_coeff, shearY_jacobi_fails_transverse, brT_uY_aZ_aZ, brT_not_antisymm, JacobiWitness.mixed_sum_eq, tethered_jacobiator_ne_zero and paperII_nonvacuous. The hypothesis-to-declaration table (README.md) found no mismatch. Open gap (not addressed here). No identification of this finite-Fourier operation with the state-dependent geometric functional bracket has been proved, in Lean or on paper. The geometric bracket in BenFrohman/frohmanian-tether-geometric has a state-dependent axis u, a state-dependent projection Π_u and an enstrophy prefactor with κ = 3/2 and no free parameter w; the operation here has a frozen axis, free complex κ and w, a complex-bilinear pairing and Lean's division convention. Neither result is claimed to transport to the geometric setting, and nothing here bears on Navier–Stokes or any Clay problem. Reproducibility.

On 11 November 2026 the pinned commit was rebuilt locally from scratch for the project modules (attached build.log); the attached axiom output (axiom-output.txt: PASS, 49 declarations) shows only propext, Classical.choice and Quot.sound (or a subset), and the attached scan found no sorry, admit, native_decide or axiom declarations. SHA256SUMS lists every attached file. Limits. A kernel check shows that the stated Lean propositions follow from the stated Lean definitions. It does not show that those definitions model any geometric or physical object.
