Erdős-Straus Rotation Hierarchy module supplies definitions for nonzero residuals and their phase quotients in the algebraic reduction of the conjecture. It extends the RCL ledger reduction by introducing finite modulus conditions and gate structures. Number theorists attacking the conjecture via combinatorial boxes would reference these objects. The module is built from a collection of definitions and supporting lemmas rather than a single theorem proof.

claimA nonzero residual $c/N$ has positive finite modulus $c$. The module defines residual phase quotients, admissible hard gates, gate ladders, balanced pair phase supports, and closure witnesses on the associated hierarchy.

background

This module operates in the NumberTheory subdomain and depends on the Erdős-Straus RCL module. The upstream doc-comment states: 'This file records the algebraic reduction behind the RCL attack on the Erdős-Straus conjecture. After choosing the first denominator x, the residual equation is c / N = 1 / y + 1 / z, with c = 4x - n and N = nx.' It introduces NonzeroResidual (positive finite c for nonzero c/N), ResidualPhaseQuotient, AdmissibleHardGate, gate_ladder_forced, GateClosureWitness, BalancedPairPhaseSupport, AllPrimeFactorsOneModThree, and ResidualTrap.

proof idea

This is a definition module, no proofs.

why it matters in Recognition Science

The module supplies foundational objects for the Erdős-Straus Box Phase module, whose doc-comment states it 'isolates the finite combinatorial part of the residual Erdős-Straus proof' via square budgets N^2 and complementary pairs (d,e) with d*e = N^2. It advances the RCL attack by providing rotation hierarchy tools that feed into box phase representations.
