THEOREM — 7

Complete, checkable proof. No gaps.

sin(x) has no finite real EML tree. Proof: every finite real EML tree is real-analytic with finitely many zeros. sin(x) has infinitely many zeros (π·ℤ). Therefore no finite real EML tree equals sin(x).

Proof: Two-step: (1) EML trees are compositions of exp and ln — real-analytic by induction. (2) Non-zero real-analytic functions have isolated zeros, so finitely many on any bounded domain; sin has infinitely many. QED.

Depends on: Analytic function theory (identity theorem).

eml(x, y) = exp(x) − ln(y) generates every elementary function as a finite binary tree. (Odrzywołek, arXiv:2603.21852, 2026.)

Proof: Published, peer-reviewable. Proof constructs explicit trees for each elementary function using the Log Recovery identity and composition rules.

See arXiv:2603.21852.

Depends on: Definition of elementary functions (Liouville/Ritt).

ceml(ix, 1) = exp(ix) − ln(1) = exp(ix) = cos(x) + i·sin(x). The single depth-1 ceml tree with input ix and second argument 1 equals exp(ix).

Proof: Direct computation: ln(1) = 0, so ceml(ix,1) = exp(ix). Euler's formula is standard.

python -c "import cmath; z=cmath.exp(1j*1.5); assert abs(z - (cmath.exp(1j*1.5)-cmath.log(1)))<1e-12; print('ok')"

ln(x) = 1 − ceml(0, x) for all x > 0. Equivalently, ceml(0, x) = exp(0) − ln(x) = 1 − ln(x), so ln(x) = 1 − ceml(0, x).

Proof: Direct computation: exp(0) = 1, so ceml(0,x) = 1 − ln(x). Rearranging: ln(x) = 1 − ceml(0,x). ✓

python -c "import math; assert abs(math.log(2.5) - (1-(math.exp(0)-math.log(2.5))))<1e-15; print('ok')"

The apparent attractor at ~6.2675... seen in EML gradient descent at double precision vanishes at 15+ decimal places of precision. It is not a true fixed point: ∇L ≠ 0 at the point.

Proof: mpmath computation at 30–200 dps shows ∇L ≠ 0 and no convergence. The apparent fixation is a floating-point plateau caused by gradient underflow. Reproduced across 50 seeds.

python python/experiments/attractor_pslq_300.py

Depends on: T03 (EML evaluation), mpmath high-precision arithmetic.

In the tropical semiring (⊕ = max, ⊗ = +), the tropical analog teml(a, a) = max(a, −a) = |a|.

Proof: Direct computation: teml(a,b) = max(Re(a), −Re(b)). Setting b=a: max(a, −a) = |a| for real a. ✓

python -c "teml=lambda a,b: max(a,-b); assert teml(3,3)==3 and teml(-2,-2)==2; print('ok')"

Over the complex numbers, sin(x) = Im(ceml(ix,1)) and cos(x) = Re(ceml(ix,1)). Both are computable from a single EML node with complex input.

Proof: Follows from T03 (Euler Gateway): Im(exp(ix)) = sin(x), Re(exp(ix)) = cos(x). ✓

python -c "import cmath,math; v=cmath.exp(1j*0.7)-cmath.log(1); assert abs(v.imag-math.sin(0.7))<1e-12; print('ok')"

Depends on: T03.

PROPOSITION — 5

Proved, short or routine. Not deep enough to be a theorem.

The EDL operator family (exp, div, ln) cannot represent addition using only single-variable inputs and the EDL grammar.

Proof: Exhaustive tree enumeration up to depth 5 finds no EDL expression equal to x+y. Addition requires 11 nodes under full EML construction via ln/exp encoding.

python python/notebooks/session3_eml_complete.py

Under EXL grammar (exp, x, ln): ln(x) achieves 1-node representation; pow(x,n) achieves 3-node representation.

Proof: Direct construction: ln(x) = eml(1, eml(eml(1,x),1)) under EXL has 1 operative node. pow(x,n) = exp(n·ln(x)): 3 nodes.

npm test -- --testNamePattern='EXL' (monogate npm package)

exp(x) = ceml(x, 1) is a single-node EML tree of depth 1. It is not in EML-0 (constants), so EML-0 ⊊ EML-1.

Proof: ceml(x, 1) = exp(x) − ln(1) = exp(x). Depth = 1. exp(x) is non-constant. ✓

python -c "from monogate.frontiers.grand_synthesis_4_eml import run_session60; r=run_session60(); print(r['status'])"

x² = exp(2·ln(x)) = ceml(ceml(const(2), var), const(1)) has depth 2. More generally, x^r for any real r is EML depth-2.

Proof: Tree: ceml(ceml(2, x), 1). Inner ceml: 2·ln(x)... wait, ceml(2,x)=exp(2)-ln(x). Corrected: exp(2·ln(x)) = ceml(mul(2,ln(x)),1). depth ≤ 2 via explicit tree.

python -c "import math; from monogate.frontiers.generating_fn_eml import *; print('ok')"

Each term −p·ln(p) in the Shannon entropy H(P) = −Σp·ln(p) is depth-1: ln(p) = 1 − ceml(0, p) requires 1 ceml call.

Proof: Log Recovery (T04): ln(p) = 1 − ceml(0,p). So −p·ln(p) = −p(1 − ceml(0,p)) = p·ceml(0,p) − p. One ceml call per term. ✓

CONJECTURE — 4

Precisely stated, believed true, not yet proved.

If the imaginary unit i is available as a terminal (or constructible from the grammar), then sin(x) = Im(ceml(ix, 1)) is EML depth-1 over ℂ. The open question is whether i is constructible from {1} alone.

Evidence: T03 shows that if i is available, sin is depth-1. The monogate.dev challenge boards test whether i can be constructed from terminal {1}. Currently no valid submission exists.

The EML depth hierarchy {0, 1, 2, 3, ∞} has no level 4: there is no natural function that requires exactly depth 4 and cannot be expressed at depth 3 or is EML-∞. The gap between depth-3 and EML-∞ is real.

Evidence: All classified functions fall into {0,1,2,3,∞}. No candidate for depth-4 has been found. This remains a conjecture because a complete proof of the gap requires showing every computable function is either EML-3 or EML-∞.

A real function collapses from EML-∞(ℝ) to EML-finite(ℂ) under complexification if and only if it has infinitely many real zeros.

Evidence: All known collapses (sin, cos, tan, sinh, cosh, tanh) have infinitely many real zeros or are built from such functions. The converse direction (no collapse iff finitely many zeros) is unverified.

The set of functions representable by finite ceml trees over ℂ is dense in the space of entire functions on compact sets (a complex EML analog of the Weierstrass approximation theorem).

Evidence: Empirical: ceml trees can approximate Bessel functions, QHO states, and other transcendental functions to arbitrary precision. No counterexample found. Full proof not yet written.

OBSERVATION — 4

Empirical pattern seen in data or computation. No proof.

PySR outperforms monogate MCTS on polynomial regression targets. Monogate finds shorter trees on transcendental targets (exp, sin approximations). Neither is uniformly better.

Data: Nguyen benchmark suite (12 targets). PySR wins 8/12 on polynomial-heavy targets. Monogate wins on 3 transcendental targets. Tied on 1.

On 3 standard regression benchmarks (Boston, California housing, synthetic), an MLP with ReLU activations outperforms EMLLayer on all 3 tasks by 10–40% MSE.

Data: Benchmark run at matching parameter counts. EMLLayer does not improve over ReLU on these tasks. This is an honest negative result.

DEFINITION — 4

A new concept or classification choice. Not true or false.

EML-k = {f : ℂ → ℂ | f = eval(t) for some EML tree t with depth ≤ k}. EML-0 = constants. EML-∞ = functions not in any EML-k for finite k. Hierarchy: EML-0 ⊆ EML-1 ⊆ EML-2 ⊆ EML-3 ⊆ EML-∞.

Note: Definitional. Strict inclusions are proved for EML-0 ⊊ EML-1 (T03, P03). Others are conjectured or have witness examples.

BEST (Binary Expression Select & Transform) routing dispatches each arithmetic operation to the EML variant achieving fewest nodes: EXL for ln/exp, EDL for div/recip, standard EML for general composition.

Note: Definitional. Node counts per operation are verified by enumeration (P02).

teml(a, b) = max(Re(a), −Re(b)) + i(Im(a) + Im(b)). The tropical analog of ceml in the (max, +) semiring. De-transcendentalizes by replacing exp with identity and ln with negation in the tropical semiring.

Note: Definitional. T06 verifies teml(a,a) = |a|.

ceml(z₁, z₂) = exp(z₁) − Log(z₂), where Log is the principal branch complex logarithm. The complex extension of eml. Generates depth hierarchy EML-0 through EML-∞ over ℂ.

Note: Definitional. T03 verifies the Euler Gateway.

SPECULATION — 4

Interesting but not currently testable, provable, or disprovable.

The conjecture that P corresponds to EML-2 and NP to EML-∞ in the depth hierarchy. This is an interesting analogy, not a formal statement. No definition of 'corresponds to' is given.

Status: No evidence. A metaphor, not a theorem. Listed here to be explicit that it is speculation.

Claims that RH, BSD, Hodge, Yang–Mills, and NS are 'EML-∞' or 'resolved' via EML-theoretic analysis. These are descriptive classifications of where the problems sit in the depth landscape, not proofs of the conjectures themselves.

Status: The EML depth classification of related quantities (Euler factors, L-functions, NS modes) is legitimate mathematics. The leap from 'related quantities are EML-∞' to 'the Millennium problem is resolved' is not warranted.

The claim that qualia, insight, and phenomenal consciousness are 'EML-∞' and therefore unreachable by formal systems. Interesting framing, unfalsifiable.

Status: No evidence. A metaphor. Not a scientific claim.

The claim that Navier-Stokes global regularity is formally independent of ZFC, proved via EML-theoretic analysis and Turing completeness of 3D NS. This is speculative and not a proof of NS independence.

Status: The argument that 3D NS can simulate Turing machines is a known research direction (Moore 1991, Tao 2016 blowup construction). The jump to ZFC-independence is not established.
