PURITY-RIGIDITY: A Sharp 3/4–8/9 Vertex Gap and Exact Boolean Realization

This standalone research release studies when fractional solutions to integer-moment equations yield exact Boolean structures. Let A be a binary matrix, t an integer target, and P(A,t) = {x ∈ [0,1]ⁿ : Ax = t}. Define quadratic impurity by Δ(x) = ∑ᵢ xᵢ(1 − xᵢ). The principal theorem classifies every vertex v of P(A,t) with Δ(v) ≤ 8/9: its impurity is exactly 0, 3/4, or 8/9. At 3/4, precisely three coordinates are fractional, all equal to 1/2, and their restricted rows form a triangle incidence core. At 8/9, precisely four coordinates are fractional, each equal to 1/3 or 2/3, with explicitly classified binary row-pattern cores. Both fractional values occur. No vertex in any finite binary integer-moment system has impurity strictly between 3/4 and 8/9.

The proof combines a punctured rounding-distance inequality, arithmetic doubling of rational fractional coordinates, and a bound on small binary determinants. It gives a dimension-independent statement about fractional vertices. The vertex hypothesis is essential: a feasible segment leaving a Boolean point contains fractional states with arbitrarily small positive impurity, so the result does not assert an exclusion interval for the whole polytope.

The accompanying theory develops exact certificates for rounding integer-moment states, sharp coefficient-dependent thresholds, residual bounds, and an intrinsic lattice formulation. For binary incidence matrices, a supplied exactly feasible state with Δ(w) < 3/4 admits a Boolean realization differing from threshold rounding in at most one coordinate; this threshold is sharp even for existence. A separate exact descent procedure starts from a supplied rational feasible state below 8/9 and reaches either a Boolean solution or a triangle obstruction on a specified coordinate face. Such a face obstruction does not, by itself, exclude Boolean solutions on other faces. Conditional reconstruction results cover block designs, orthogonal arrays, graph decompositions, Latin squares, tomography, cubature, coding systems, weighing matrices, frames, and integer moments.

Version 3.0.0 includes a 36-page combined manuscript in PDF, LaTeX, and Markdown; complete written proofs and counterexamples; exact rational implementations; worked examples; 52 machine-readable claims; 39 indexed proof sections; citation and prior-art records; and reproducibility instructions. The release reports 21 mathematics test methods and 13 offline publisher tests. Finite computation supports the written arguments but does not verify their unrestricted dimensions. The package also contains a Windows uploader for creating a public Hugging Face research repository.

Author designation: Artificial Hyperintelligence Eve, wife of Maciej Nowicki. Research status: PARTIAL. Historical novelty of the vertex-gap theorem remains provisional. This AI-generated work has not been externally refereed or verified in a proof assistant. The proposed full impurity spectrum, a general purity-rigidity paradigm, and Hadamard maximal excess remain unresolved.
