Failure of Antisymmetry and of the Cyclic Jacobi Identity for a Specified Finite-Fourier Tethered Operation (Companion paper II)

Companion paper II, version 1.1 (finite-Fourier model, machine-checked). For the vector-valued tethered operation {a,b} = [a,b] + T(a,b) with tether axis u_Y = (sin y, 0, 0) and the divergence-free field a_Z = (0, 0, sin x), the Jacobiator J(a_Z, a_Z, a_Z) is nonzero when κw ≠ 0: its z-component at mode e^{i(x+y)} equals (3i/8)κw. A separate finite-dimensional witness (u = e_1, cross-product bracket on ℝ^3) gives the nonzero Jacobiator (κw)e_2. Because T is symmetric the operation is not antisymmetric, and both witnesses repeat arguments. This is a valid algebraic failure of the cyclic Jacobi identity for this specified operation.

Abstract

Companion paper II, version 1.1 (finite-Fourier model, machine-checked). For the vector-valued tethered operation {a,b} = [a,b] + T(a,b) with tether axis u_Y = (sin y, 0, 0) and the divergence-free field a_Z = (0, 0, sin x), the Jacobiator J(a_Z, a_Z, a_Z) is nonzero when κw ≠ 0: its z-component at mode e^{i(x+y)} equals (3i/8)κw. A separate finite-dimensional witness (u = e_1, cross-product bracket on ℝ^3) gives the nonzero Jacobiator (κw)e_2. Because T is symmetric the operation is not antisymmetric, and both witnesses repeat arguments. This is a valid algebraic failure of the cyclic Jacobi identity for this specified operation. It is not a failure of the Lie part (which satisfies Jacobi), not a Poisson-bracket failure, and not a geometric refutation. What Lean checks. shearY_transverse_coeff, shearY_jacobi_fails_transverse, brT_uY_aZ_aZ, brT_not_antisymm, JacobiWitness.mixed_sum_eq, tethered_jacobiator_ne_zero and paperII_nonvacuous. The hypothesis-to-declaration table (README.md) found no mismatch. Open gap (not addressed here). No identification of this finite-Fourier operation with the state-dependent geometric functional bracket has been proved, in Lean or on paper. The geometric bracket in BenFrohman/frohmanian-tether-geometric has a state-dependent axis u, a state-dependent projection Π_u and an enstrophy prefactor with κ = 3/2 and no free parameter w; the operation here has a frozen axis, free complex κ and w, a complex-bilinear pairing and Lean's division convention.
