Lean source links (115)
This concordance lists the floor, support and divisibility identities used alongside the principal results. All links retain their original source revisions. The last subsection contains the historical links from the short paper, with their targets unchanged.
non-unit carries at arbitrarily large indices imply irrationality
a reflected prime survives normalisation under the block and upper-half hypotheses
two distinct in-block indices under the same reflection hypotheses
the offset equals the later numerator times the reduction factors
fixed denominator indices are eventually absorbed by the factorial
the shared part is bounded by the product divided by the lcm
two indices sharing a prime power are farther apart than its exponent
a surviving prime has square greater than the parameter minus one
the two-factor bound is no larger than the full residue bound
Source links from the short paper
These links collect the declarations formerly listed in the short paper’s source appendix, at the same historical revisions and paths. They supplement the concordance above. No fresh compilation or independent review is asserted by a link, and a theorem about a conditional family leaves its hypotheses to be established.
The remaining links from the short paper use revision
99f4bf47422a; the links in the preceding concordance use
this record’s own revision. The following numbers link to source lines
within each named module, retaining both revisions where they
differ.

The hypotheses about short intervals, least prime factors, and the nonzero real remainders are stated in the mathematical sections above. They remain hypotheses when a declaration link is followed.
Earlier links for the consolidated criteria.
The four criteria treated here retain the short paper’s earlier source and comparison links below. These identify historical declarations and recorded comparisons; they are not new executions.
The constant-floor support statement: the recorded declaration list, the comparison record.
The carry characterisation: the earlier non-unit-carry implication, the next-integer criterion, the recorded combined statement, the comparison record.
The complementary-denominator criterion: the comparison record.
The companion-digit criterion: the recorded formal statement, the comparison record.
