Finite counterexample · nonzero obstruction

QA-BUCK-FIB-X03

A complete local product fibre misses the target

Exact statement

For one selected residual-two quotient word, the rank-seven transported product image misses the target defect, so none of its 2562^{56} local lift tuples reaches the degree-four target.

StatusExact stored certificate; replay dependency incomplete
External reviewNo documented external or specialist review of this Quotient Arsenal result is recorded.

Context

Finite quotient words do not lift one factor at a time independently. Local affine lift fibres must be transported through the ordered product; the target defect then lives in a product-image cokernel that is invariant under quotient Hurwitz moves.

Proof or evidence

The sparse target-separation certificate and hostile audit agree, but both import the missing helper for full recomputation.

Verification notes

The exact written argument and available certificate were inspected; the public maturity level reflects whether import-time replay was complete.

Limitations

  • The obstruction is for one quotient word, not the entire residual class.
