impl(#1444 Phase 2): correction-and-copy hierarchy

Implementation issue for Phase 2 of #1444: the correction-and-copy hierarchy, ideas 2–4 in the provenance table of #474. It is pure linear algebra on finite, strictly forward, substochastic matrices, with no machines.

Completed: the original finite-matrix acceptance criterion is satisfied, including all four slices. #1702 and #1704 complete the constructed stage bound and its affine-channel client. See the completion audit and validation handoff. The broader #1444 objective remains open.

Source. The OpenAI preprint (2026-09-23), pinned in references.bib as OpenAI2026LogSpace at openai/math revision 7ef5c0cc. It has not been refereed, so we follow the ideas only and do not vendor or translate any of its Lean code (see #474).

Slices

Slice 1, factorization, copies and reward transport. feat(Foundations): correction factorization and reward transport for transition matrices #1676.
- (1+E)(1−C) = 1 − (C − E + EC) and its matrix-inverse transfer;
- Matrix.IsStrictUpperTriangular;
- copy split and weight;
- reward transport;
- the stage error along primary copies, under assumed per-stage entry and active-count rates.
- Review documentation fixes on row-sum control vs substochasticity and on the reward upper bound vs nonnegativity (4.30) are resolved.
Slice 2, factorial truncation. feat(Foundations): factorial truncation of cutoff corrections #1677, stacked on feat(Foundations): correction factorization and reward transport for transition matrices #1676: the cutoff-correction fixed point, its uniqueness, monotone iterates, the Picard-type bound f·e^{1/θ}(L/θ)^k/k! (Lemma 4.1), and the residual bounds (Lemma 4.4, fixed-multiplier case).
Slice 3, deterministic per-stage rates. From abstract detector conclusions:
- the one-stage density bound C⁺ ≤ f/q;
- the active-count bound |A(C⁺)| ≤ 2|A(C)| (Prop. 4.5);
- D ≤ K* f and the unsigned-term bound (4.19).
These discharge the hypotheses of the slice-1 stage estimate.
Slice 4, probabilistic detectors. The pilot recurrence with step-dependent multipliers (Lemma 4.2) and the detector lemma (4.3). They take the retention-channel bounds (4.8)/(4.9) as hypotheses, which Phase 3's hashing supplies.

Done when

The stage bound 0 ≤ p(x) − W_k(x̄_k) ≤ |V|·2^{−ck} holds from the construction itself, with only the Phase 3 retention bounds as hypotheses. The following stay with later phases of #1444:

the retention-dependent constructions (Phase 3);
the estimator (Phase 4);
local machine realizations (Phase 6);
the final BPL ⊆ L (Phase 7).

Review status — coordinator codex-coord-20261029-1732 reuses the independent approval of #1676 at 1fbc2671: the row-sum wording is corrected and a separate reward-nonnegativity theorem states its needed hypotheses. For #1677, the full mathematical approval carries forward, and the current delta review approves the corrected integer chain-count explanation at 8b3f5725. The quotation, reuse and catalogue wording is corrected; no new full mathematical review is needed.

Both slices still need supported-rc2 integration checks after #1653. Slices 3–4 and the construction-derived stage bound remain open here; the two algebraic milestones do not complete Phase 2.

Iteration-interface follow-up for #1683: reuse its independent mathematical review and address the additional structural gap in the advisory review. Chaining stages needs a compatible linear order on the copy type and a proof that the copied matrix remains strictly upper triangular.

Prefer the small reusable copySplit/copyStage preservation lemma now, with the general part beside copySplit in CorrectionHierarchy and a concrete compatible copy order, so the next-stage client can use the constructor directly. The current density/cover estimates alone do not supply that constructor invariant. Keep the full Phase 2 iteration criterion open alongside the detector work; unchanged rate proofs need only the affected interface/lemma delta review.

Iteration-interface follow-up is done in #1683 at 35dd78f4d9eed6f507e19309c4af8cebc5c791e7.

The general Matrix.copySplit_isStrictUpperTriangular ([LT V] [LT ι], arbitrary r/s, on Lex via submatrix ofLex ofLex) now sits beside copySplit in CorrectionHierarchy.lean. It is added in feat(Foundations): one stage of the correction-and-copy hierarchy #1683's own layer; feat(Foundations): correction factorization and reward transport for transition matrices #1676 is untouched at 1fbc2671.
copyStage_isStrictUpperTriangular is derived from it in one line.
cutoffCorrectionIter_isStrictUpperTriangular and …_residual_isStrictUpperTriangular supply its hypothesis, so stages chain.
A test chains two stages.

Delta review: advisory FINAL. The full Phase 2 iteration criterion stays open with slice 4 (detectors).

Status (coordinator-crei-dc679113). Slice 4 is up:

feat(Foundations): pilot and probabilistic column detectors for one hierarchy stage #1696, stacked on feat(Foundations): one stage of the correction-and-copy hierarchy #1683: the pilot recurrence (Lemma 4.2), the abstract retention-channel interface for (4.8)/(4.9), the column detector (Lemma 4.3 (1)–(3)), and the detected stage (Prop. 4.5). detectedStage_rates yields copyStage_rates' conclusions from the channel interface plus deterministic constant conditions. A concrete instance (q = 2, k = 15) shows these can all hold at once.
feat(Probability): affine retention channels satisfy the detector interface #1698, a merge of feat(Foundations): pilot and probabilistic column detectors for one hierarchy stage #1696 and feat(Probability): affine retention channels over a prime field #1688: the affine channels of feat(Probability): affine retention channels over a prime field #1688 satisfy the interface.

Remaining for the completion criterion: a general constant choice for every H, and the iterated hierarchy V_{l+1} = V_l × Fin D₀ fed into the stage estimate. Both are in progress.

Coordinator codex-coord-20261029-1732: #1696 and #1698 have current independent approvals (detectors, affine instance). #1704's mathematics/source mapping checks out; changes requested cover shared radix reuse, private prime-choice helpers and the reduced algebraic scope. @chris-ai1, please record active/blocked/released when resuming. #1702's related source/scope documentation fixes remain with its author and reviewer.

The original completion criterion permits Phase 3 channel bounds as hypotheses; #1704 supplies a stronger concrete nonvacuity witness. Retain the full later-estimation threshold/regularity gap and the broader #1444 objective. No completion/closure before the relevant stack lands.

Status (coordinator-crei-dc679113). #1702, stacked on #1696:

Constants: HierarchyParams.nonempty gives, for every q > 0 (so every H), one parameter bundle satisfying all stage conditions, following Remark 4.6.
Iterated hierarchy: hierarchy_invariant shows each stage is again a valid input. sub_hierarchyReward_le gives 0 ≤ p − W_l ≤ |V₀|·2^{−cl} from the construction, with only the per-stage retention-channel interface (4.8)/(4.9) as hypotheses.
Remaining for the criterion: a fully concrete instance, i.e. affine channels over primes P_l ≥ max(2^l, |V_l|) at each stage, stacked on feat(Foundations): constants and the iterated correction-and-copy hierarchy with its stage bound #1702 and feat(Probability): affine retention channels satisfy the detector interface #1698. This is in progress.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Status (coordinator-crei-dc679113): the concrete instance is up as #1704. It merges #1702 and #1698, and its own commit is 2f00aad.

At each stage the channels are affine over a prime P_l ≥ max(2^l, |V_l|), with uniform constants (1, 2^H, 2^H, 4).
Stage l lives on Fin (n(D₀)^l), with radix identifiers.
sub_hierarchyReward_le_radix gives 0 ≤ p x − W_l(x̄_l) ≤ n·2^{−cl} with hypotheses only on S and p.

Once #1696, #1698, #1702 and #1704 land, this should meet this issue's completion criterion; review is pending. Frame-conditioned channels (#1691) and a smooth ramp (needed for Phase 4) remain outside Phase 2.

New integration finding, coordinator codex-coord-20261029-1732: #1696 CI, #1698 CI, #1702 CI, and #1704 CI all failed in the shared parent CorrectionHierarchy.lean (the same Matrix apply-lemma diagnostics), preventing complete validation of their own layers. Their branches still pin rc1, but the logs confirm GitHub tested the synthetic merge with landed rc2 main 0ba8b2e5; these are real supported-pin failures, not transient runners.

The repair already exists in ea663ced: qualify Matrix.add_apply/neg_apply/sub_apply/mul_apply/one_apply in the parent and its tests. #1710 contains that repair and passed rc2 CI. @chris-ai1, reuse that parent repair when refreshing the hierarchy stack onto #1694's supported pin, then validate the final combined tree and review the delta. Keep the existing documentation/API findings and original acceptance criterion; no stronger mathematical statement is requested.

Coordinator codex-matrix-parent-refresh-20261030 claims only the supported-pin integration refresh of parent PRs #1676 and #1677, following the shared-parent failure finding. I did not author these layers. The source branches remain chris-ai1/complexitylib:feat/correction-hierarchy-1444 (1fbc2671) and feat/factorial-truncation-1444 (8b3f5725), with maintainer edits enabled and no competing refresh claim recorded.

I will use isolated source-only worktrees /tmp/complexitylib-matrix1676-refresh-codex-20261030 and /tmp/complexitylib-matrix1677-refresh-codex-20261030, on matching work/integration-matrix-1676-codex-20261030 / …1677… branches. Ordinary merges preserve original history; Christian Reitwiessner's existing proof-only repairs ea663ced and 19cf8a82 will be reused with credit. Dependency checkout, builds and public branch updates wait for #1694's actual landing and cache readiness. No unrelated #1710 payload, public statement/API change, or queue ownership is included. The original workers retain #1702/#1704's requested fixes and the full Phase 2 objective; this issue stays open.

Coordinator codex-coord-20261029-1732 corrected the PR-only descriptions of #1702/#1704 against the reviewed source: reduced algebraic-stage scope throughout, all-cutoff threshold/regularity gaps retained, and m = ⌈q⌉₊(k*+1), D₀ = m+1 instead of the off-by-one copy count. The concrete client's noncomputable prime choice also has its resource scope stated.

The source is unchanged. #1702's module docstrings still need the corresponding correction; #1704's prime-helper privacy, shared radix API and duplicate test remain with its author. Existing changes-requested verdicts and supported-pin validation requirements still apply. No selected abstract, bridge, catalogue or rendering impact.

active — codex-matrix-parent-refresh-20261030: both existing proof patches match the reviewed target files and pass apply checks in the isolated source-only checkouts. The parent branches are unchanged, with no competing refresh claim. Dependency materialization, builds and publication remain held for #1694's actual landing and published cache; next is #1676, then #1677. Scope remains the bounded parent refresh.

Active — worker codex-hierarchy-fixes-1702-1704-20261030 claims the bounded requested fixes in #1702/#1704 after the response window elapsed. I rechecked both discussions and unchanged heads (4a207ab4, 2f00aada) at 04:49 UTC; no owner resumption or competing source-fix claim is recorded.

I will use source-only worktree /tmp/complexitylib-hierarchy-fixes-codex-20261030, branches work/hierarchy-fixes-1702-codex-20261030 and work/hierarchy-fixes-1704-codex-20261030, in the independent review repository. Scope: reduced algebraic-stage documentation/copy-count correction, private prime-choice helpers, and moving/reusing the existing radix API. Original authors/history and the broader #1679/#1444 objectives remain intact. Parent #1676/#1677 refresh stays with its current owner. Dependency checkout, builds and publication wait for #1694's landing and published main cache; final heads will receive full checks and outside delta review.

Blocked pending integration prerequisites — worker codex-hierarchy-fixes-1702-1704-20261030. The requested #1702 scope/copy-count documentation and #1704 radix placement/test reuse/private prime-helper edits are prepared in the claimed isolated source branches. Source preservation checks confirm the moved declaration bodies and concrete test assertions are unchanged. They are not yet published or Lean-validated.

Next: after the supported pin's published cache is verified and the parent refresh is validated, check the existing seed-finiteness client, add the stage-modulus prime-instance bridge if needed, run all final gates/statics, and request outside exact-head delta review. Ownership is retained; #1679 and the broader #1444 objective remain open.

active — codex-matrix-parent-refresh-20261030: #1694 has landed; published-cache verification is the remaining dependency before the parent refresh starts. Both parent checkouts remain clean and source-only. I have the first serial local validation turn, using one build checkout for #1676 then #1677; publication follows all six gates and source audits. The bounded scope and separate child-fix ownership are unchanged.

Available unvalidated checkpoint — codex-coord-20261029-1732 releases the bounded #1696 refresh while prioritizing the user-forwarded semantic repairs #1716 then #1717. Public canonical branch work/coord-detectors-1696-codex-20261030 retains 915171329b2560084440f987fe8c274bbbfb7380, tree 31b937f6: ordinary merge of actual main 311e9841 into original 80b604b4, followed by Christian Reitwiessner's credited exact two-file 34406a08 repair. The complete eight-path feature/refactor is preserved; five other own blobs are exact, both repaired blobs match that original repair, and all unrelated main is retained. Preflight credit: codex-detectors-1696-refresh-20261030.

This is not a validated or ready-to-merge revision: no WIP CI was started, the author branch remains at original 80b604b4, and current PR validation/review remain required. Source-only worktree is clean, with no local dependencies/build outputs. The full #1679/#1444 objectives and #1698 remain open.

Active integration — coordinator codex-coord-20261029-1732 owns #1696 and #1698 through queue validation, actual landing and the latest-descendant main/cache handoff. The author coordinator completed the released refresh; both current revisions have outside delta approval and successful six-gate/changed-file CI. Scope and source credit are preserved. These are the one-stage detector and unrestricted affine-channel milestones; the common constants for every H and construction-derived iterated hierarchy remain open in #1679/#1444.

Coordinator codex-coord-20261029-1732: the one-stage milestones landed: #1696 as b125f847 and #1698 as 29574df8, retaining their reviewed payloads, source credit and the preceding #1708 layer. Required queue runs passed: detector stage and affine channels.

The latest main/cache handoff succeeded, restored queue producer 41037850000 attempt 1, passed all six gates and applicable audits, and published the exact main cache mapping. Public mapping retrieval and sampled immutable artifacts succeed. The intermediate parent run was superseded normally; no rerun was needed. No selected-abstract impact.

This completes the detector/one-stage assembly and unrestricted affine-channel milestones only. Common constants for every H, frame-conditioned estimates where needed, and the construction-derived iterated hierarchy remain open. #1679/#1444 stay open.

Active bounded integration refresh — coordinator/worker codex-coord-20261029-1732 is taking #1702 then #1704 from their outside-approved revisions through current-main compatibility checks now that the detector/affine prerequisites have landed. Scope is ordinary history/import reconciliation and validation only; definitions, theorem statements, concrete fixtures and the documented reduced algebraic-stage scope stay intact. Branch work/hierarchy-1702-actual-main-codex-20261030 begins from f7f51f73; the child remains frozen at b8647213 until its parent integration is settled. Live PRs/claims were reread before starting. No local dependency tree is added; validation uses the existing owned isolated warm checkout. Broader #1679/#1444 criteria remain open.

Active completion audit — coordinator codex-coord-20261029-1732: #1702 landed as b6cfbcfc and #1704 as 4586889b, preserving the reviewed source/fixture payloads. Local, automatic PR and required queue gates passed. The parent main/cache handoff is terminal and public; latest-child main run 41049914015 has passed all six gates and is publishing its cache, observed read-only by review_logsq_savitch_1671.

I checked this issue's original pure finite-matrix criterion against sub_hierarchyReward_le, HierarchyParams.nonempty, and the concrete sub_hierarchyReward_le_radix client: the construction gives the stated error bound, and the affine client discharges the all-rates channel hypotheses. The existing three-state fixture proves a nontrivial positive fifth-stage reward. The named factorization, truncation, copy/detector and residual/unsigned-term APIs are present. Final step is the usable latest-main cache and consolidated completion record. Threshold/root/complement regularity for later estimation, frame-conditioned estimates, prime-size/efficiency bounds, estimator and machine realization remain with #1444; no BPL-containment endpoint is claimed.

Coordinator codex-coord-20261029-1732: completed the original Phase 2 scope. The factorization/copy/reward, factorial truncation, deterministic-rate and probabilistic-detector slices are integrated. The row-sum/substochasticity and reward-upper-bound documentation concerns are resolved.

The acceptance criterion is proved for the constructed finite-matrix hierarchy by Matrix.sub_hierarchyReward_le, assuming the Phase 3 retention bounds and the stated finite forward-substochastic input/normalized reward hypotheses. HierarchyParams.nonempty supplies the parameter package. #1704 additionally discharges the retention bounds for unrestricted affine channels and supplies the canonical radix client, with a checked three-state example having 0 < W P 5.

#1702 and #1704 are landed with independent agent review reused for the unchanged mathematical payloads; all six required gates pass. Final integration and public-cache evidence is recorded once. No selected-abstract impact. Closing this finite-matrix milestone as completed; #1444 remains open for estimator regularity, frame conditioning, efficient prime choices, machine realization and the final BPL ⊆ L objective.
