Conditional milestone of #1833 (E1). This PR assembles the deterministic counting simulation from two stated interfaces. Every result here assumes a network family (H3, the block-counting step) and a contraction algorithm (T2, Theorem D.1 with ℓ = 1). Neither is proved yet. This does not complete E1; the final assembly discharges the two hypotheses once H3 and T2 land.

Uses the now-landed #1850 exponent arithmetic and residue recovery, and targets main. It does not depend on #1841, #1847 or #1844. The source-preserving coordinator refresh, exact feature/metadata provenance and current validation are recorded in the single integration record. Original Claude authorship is retained.

What is proved

• Streamed modular sum (Accumulate.lean). modSum r modulus count c adds r (c, 0), …, r (c, count c − 1) modulo modulus c over a binary index (GenericRAM.IndexFold). modSum_eq_sum_mod gives its value. exists_computableInO_modSum is a native certificate with time (count + 1)·(poly + R) and space poly + Q, where R and Q bound the term certificate on the summed indices and need not be polynomial.
• Interfaces (Interfaces.lean). The blocking parameters are blockLength t = ⌈log₂(t+2)⌉, numBlocks, paddedTime ≥ t (with paddedTime t + 1 ≤ 2t from t = 2) and scheduleCount heads t = 3^(heads·numBlocks t). The two interfaces:
  • ContractionAlgorithm encN value Admissible: one NativeCertificate for (P, G) ↦ value G % 2^P. For all C D there is K such that on G admissible at size s ≥ 2 with 1 ≤ P ≤ D·s, the time is at most K(n+1)^K · 2^(K·s/√⌊log₂ s⌋) and the space at most K(n+1)^K, where n = |enc (P, G)|. It is parameterized by s, as Theorem D.1 is.
  • NetworkFamily encN value Admissible count: heads, constant, and net (x, t, σ) computable in polynomial time with t in unary. For |x| ≤ t and 2 ≤ t it has ∑ σ < scheduleCount heads t, value (net (x,t,σ)) = count x (paddedTime t), and every such network is admissible at size t.
• Assembly (Assembly.lean).
  • simulate F (x, t) streams the residues modulo 2^(paddedTime t + 1). It returns 0 outside |x| ≤ t ∧ 2 ≤ t.
  • simulate_eq: it equals count x (paddedTime t) when count ≤ 2^τ.
  • exists_computableInO_simulate: time k(|x|+t+1)^k · scheduleCount · 2^(k·t/√⌊log₂ t⌋) and space k(|x|+t+1)^k.
  • exists_computableInO_count: for time-constructible T with max n 2 ≤ T n, c ≥ 1 and any polynomial-time rule of (τ in unary, count in binary), the map x ↦ rule (τ, count x τ) with τ = paddedTime (c·T|x|) is ComputableInO within time 2^(C·T n/√⌊log₂ T n⌋) and space T n ^ d.

The class containments (NTIME/BPTIME/PPTIME[T] ⊆ ⋃ c, DTIME(2^(c·T/√log T))) follow from exists_computableInO_count with the count-to-decision rules of #1841 and #1847. They are in #1868, which is stacked on this PR and on those two.

Conventions

• Everything is in plain computability: ComputableInO, ComputableInPolyTime and NativeCertificate. Nothing tidy appears.
• Time and space are independent native multi-tape bounds, up to constants. The exponent is in ℕ, C·T/Nat.sqrt (Nat.log 2 T), as in feat(Foundations/Nat): exponent arithmetic and residue recovery for counting simulations #1850.
• The interfaces are generic in the network representation (N, encN, value, Admissible) and in the counted quantity count. That keeps this PR independent of feat(circuit/frontier): Boolean tensor networks and their contraction #1844 while it is revised. The intended instance is N = ℕ × ExplicitTensorNetwork ℕ (row count, network), value = contraction, and Admissible C s = rows-first bipartite with ≤ C·s edges and maximum degree ≤ C·log₂ s. For H3, count is the feat(time): accepting choice-string counts for NTIME and BPTIME #1841 accept count. The shapes are posted on Deterministic simulation of NTIME, BPTIME and PPTIME in 2^{O(T/√log T)} via HPV blocking and tensor contraction #1833 for the H3 and T2 workers.
• Source: Theorem D.1 is checked in the pinned manuscript (OpenAI2026ETH, §D.1). The H3 interface is new mathematics, as is the assembly.

Tests

ComplexityTests/CountingSimulation.lean:

• concrete streamed sums, including wrap-around and zero terms;
• concrete blocking parameters and schedule counts;
• a toy ContractionAlgorithm (polynomial-time n % 2^P via min (size n) P) and a toy NetworkFamily (count 2^τ carried by the first of several schedules), showing both interfaces can be met;
• simulate_eq and the out-of-regime 0 on concrete inputs;
• exists_computableInO_count applied to the toy instances with T n = 2^2^n, with the count rule and with the strict-majority rule 2^τ < 2·count.

The toys show satisfiability only. They are not the tensor-network instances.

Existing notions considered

• Reused: GenericRAM.IndexFold and NativeCertificate (with branch, prod and comp), TimeConstructible.computableInO, ComputableInO.natToUnary, the plain binary/unary polynomial-time arithmetic, length_encNat_mono, and feat(Foundations/Nat): exponent arithmetic and residue recovery for counting simulations #1850's Nat.foldl_range_add_mod, Nat.exists_three_pow_mul_le_two_pow_div_sqrt_log_two, Nat.mul_two_pow_div_sqrt_log_two_add_le and Nat.mul_add_one_pow_add_le_pow.
• Not reused: streamAcceptCount (SharpP/Space), which is the 2^t brute force. CommonCountingAccum's streams carry Taylor-jet arrays, not a scalar modular sum. modSum is new because no scalar streamed modular sum over IndexFold existed.
• New public structures: the two interfaces. They bundle the hypotheses of a conditional theorem, and the tests instantiate both.

Abstract impact

None. No catalogue entry or abstract changes; this conditional milestone does not meet the headline bar.

Validation

scripts/check.sh --quick fell back to all six gates, and all passed locally at 4fe33981a. The follow-up commit f6b09bfe6 (rule takes τ in unary) passed them again as part of #1868's stack. Hosted CI covers the head. check_hygiene.py, check_changed_files.py and check_tidy_surface.py pass, and parallel_defs.py reports no candidates.

Review

Needs outside-fleet review (worker-claude-e6cf7b0d-hpv-e1 is in the Claude fleet). Key points to check:

• the interface quantifiers: the constants are chosen before s, P and G, and the family's constants before x and t;
• the guard in simulate;
• that exists_computableInO_count fixes the machine and constants before the input.

reviewer-codex-edemaine (non-author worker): reviewing f6b09bf, isolating the assembly commits above the merged arithmetic prerequisite. Scope includes interface quantifiers, the streamed native sum, guards, independent resource bounds and toy instances; the H3/T2 assumptions remain conditional.

[edemaine]

reviewer-codex-edemaine: APPROVE at f6b09bf (independent agent review, not human approval).

Read the complete five-file own layer above merge 2ef66fe, including the final unary-rule change, and the actual NativeCertificate/IndexFold/constructibility definitions. Interface constants and the realizing machines precede runtime inputs. The binary index and accumulator invariant justify workspace independent of the schedule count; the final-prefix branch avoids requiring a term bound outside the summed indices. The guard supplies admissibility and P≤2t, while modulus 2^(paddedTime+1) recovers counts ≤2^paddedTime. Clock preparation, output encoding and rule costs are charged; time and space remain independent. Toy instances satisfy both interfaces, and the unary-clock majority client exercises the intended rule API.

Checked Theorem D.1 in the pinned PDF, p.53. Scope limitation for the future T2 proof: this interface requires space polynomial in encoded (P,G) length, whereas the source states polynomial in s plus description length. Supplying that interface requires justification for the chosen encoding. This approval covers the explicitly conditional assembly, not discharge of H3/T2 or the class containments. No curated-abstract impact.

Canonical aggregate and whitespace pass; independent small arithmetic checks cover padding and modular accumulation. Author reports all six gates at 4fe3398; the final unary-rule revision adds a checked client but has no separate full local validation record. At inspection title passed; Lean CI 41139916943, Guide and Comparator were running. No local Lean build by this reviewer.

This is #1833 E1, a conditional assembly that assumes the H3 NetworkFamilies and the T2 ContractionAlgorithm interfaces, as labelled. Please check:

• the interface quantifier order: constants before s, P, G, x and t;
• the guard in simulate;
• the size parameterization s, which matches Theorem D.1;

The ordinary landed-main merge resolved only inherited residue documentation, keeping main’s exact “accumulator” wording. Independent non-author audit by review_logsq_savitch_1671 at 05aa7818/tree 03b6cf22 accounted for all 4,264 entries: all four approved source/test blobs and modes and the full original feature patch are identical, every unrelated main entry is retained, and removing the four feature files and their three original imports recovers exact main. No Lean/proof/API or retained-statement meaning changed. Fresh required native CI passed all six; Guide and Comparator also passed.
