Theorem, construction, or exact resource formula

MMR-056

Claim MMR-056

Exact statement

In a sealed copy-only graph transformation, a value with dd original consumers needs at least cΔ(d)=max⁡{0,⌈(d−Δ)/(Δ−1)⌉}c_\Delta(d)=\max\{0,\lceil(d-\Delta)/(\Delta-1)\rceil\} identity buffers under fan-out cap Δ≥2\Delta\ge2; for Δ=2\Delta=2, a caterpillar attains d−2d-2.

StatusProved in the FPRD research record
External reviewNo documented external or specialist review of the FPRD synthesis is recorded.

Context

This result belongs to the reconstruction from algebraic matrix-multiplication certificates to explicit arithmetic dependency DAGs and their resource receipts.

Hypotheses and scope

  • All resource conclusions are restricted to the arithmetic, storage, fan-out, coefficient, and precision models named in the source record.

Proof or evidence

Lemma R8.1; outgoing-capacity count on the source plus buffers, followed by an explicit fan-out-two chain. The bound does not survive arbitrary gate duplication, recomputation, equality sharing, or algebraic resynthesis.

Verification notes

The analytic argument is preserved in the research record. Independent external review is not recorded.

Limitations

  • The record does not improve the known matrix-multiplication exponent and does not imply that omega equals two.
  • Construction bounds are not optimality, communication, I/O, or hardware claims unless the exact statement says so.
