Abstract

The resolution moves beyond traditional "density" arguments (which suggest a solution exists almost everywhere) to provide an explicit algorithmic guarantee that a solution exists for every \bm{n \geq 2}. The core logic rests on the Prime Reduction Lemma, which establishes that if \bm{4/p = 1/x + 1/y + 1/z} holds for all primes \bm{p}, it is mathematically lifted to all integers \bm{n}. The resolution effectively "shaves" the infinite number line into finite, solvable residue families, ensuring that no integer \bm{n} can escape the logic net. III. The 5 Core Packages (A–E): The Proof Architecture Each package acts as a specific functional module within the broader resolution: • Package A: Modular Coverage & Prime Reduction • Role: The Foundation. It maps the infinite number line into a Residue Coverage Skeleton (families R1–R4). • Mechanism: It sorts primes modulo 24 to assign them to solvable classes, ensuring the initial "Surgical Shave" accounts for the entire domain. • Package B: Residue Targeting & Parametric Constructions • Role: The Microscope. It generates the explicit algebraic triples \bm{(x, y, z)} for the identified modular classes. • Mechanism: Uses Linear Parametric Mapping to generate denominators as linear functions of \bm{p}, validated by a Valuation Microscope to ensure integer exactness. • Package C: Constructive Fallback & Termination • Role: The Kinetic Damping.
