//! KART–GF(16) isomorphism — brute-force exhaustive witness at n = 4
//!

//! # What this witness asserts
//!
//! Theorem 12.7 (`ch_12.tex` § 5, also `kart_gf16_isomorphism.v`) claims that
//! `vsa_matmul(theta, w, x) == popcount(w xor x) >= theta` is bit-for-bit
//! equal to the Kolmogorov–Arnold-shape composition:
//!
//! inner_p(w_p, x_p) = popcount(w_p xor x_p) // 4-bit XOR-LUT
//! sum = sum_p inner_p(w_p, x_p)
//! outer(theta, sum) = sum >= theta // popcount-threshold
//!
//! For n = 4 we exhaust every (w, x) pair in GF(16)^4 x GF(16)^4 = 16^8 ≈ 4.29
//! billion pairs. That is too slow for a default `cargo test` run, so the
//! exhaustive variant is gated behind `#[ignore]` and a smaller (but still
//! complete at n = 2) sanity test runs by default in CI.
//!
//! # R5-honest scope
//!
//! - The pure-Rust XOR/popcount implementation here does NOT depend on the
//! Zig FFI in `crates/trios-golden-float/src/ffi.rs`. The witness is a pure
//! theoretical statement about 4-bit popcount; FFI conformance to this
//! model is a separate (already-tracked) concern in `gf16_safe_domain.v`.
//! - For n > 4 the theorem is conjectural; the `#[ignore]` exhaustive test
//! cannot be extended past n = 4 in unit-test wall-clock budget.
//! - The Coq theorem `kart_gf16_exact` ships **Admitted**; this Rust witness
//! is the empirical falsifier per R7.

The register-map correctness proof and the clock-domain crossing timing
invariant are deferred to Ch.~\ref{ch:fpga-implementation} and
Ch.~\ref{ch:period-locked-monitor} respectively, where the hardware
measurements required for their hypotheses are available. The chapter does,
however, anchor one foundational theorem on the \emph{numeric} side of the
bridge --- the finite-field analogue of the Kolmogorov--Arnold Representation
Theorem (KART, \S~\ref{sec:related-kart} of Ch.~\ref{ch:trinity-identity})
that justifies the zero-DSP discipline of the entire hardware pipeline.

\subsection{5.1 Theorem 12.7 --- KART--GF(16) isomorphism}\label{subsec:kart-gf16-statement}

Let \(n \in \mathbb{N}\), let \(W = (W_1, \dots, W_n) \in \mathrm{GF}(16)^n\)
be a fixed weight vector, let \(x = (x_1, \dots, x_n) \in \mathrm{GF}(16)^n\)
be an input vector, and let \(\theta \in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0}\) be a popcount
threshold. Define the Trinity \emph{vsa\_matmul} primitive
\[
\mathrm{vsa\_matmul}(\theta; W, x) \;=\;
\bigl[\, \mathrm{popcount}(W \oplus x) \;\ge\; \theta \,\bigr],
\]
where \(\oplus\) is bit-wise XOR applied componentwise across the four bits
of every \(\mathrm{GF}(16)\) cell, and \(\mathrm{popcount}\) sums over all
\(4n\) bits of the resulting vector. Define the Kolmogorov--Arnold-shape
composition
\[
\mathrm{kart\_compose}(\theta; W, x) \;=\;
\Phi\!\left(\theta,\; \sum_{p=1}^{n} \phi_p(W_p, x_p)\right),
\]
where the inner functions \(\phi_p : \mathrm{GF}(16) \times \mathrm{GF}(16)
\to \{0,1,2,3,4\}\) are 4-bit XOR-popcount look-up tables
\(\phi_p(W_p, x_p) = \mathrm{popcount}(W_p \oplus x_p)\), and the outer
function \(\Phi : \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0} \times \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0} \to \{0,1\}\)
is the threshold comparator \(\Phi(\theta, s) = [s \ge \theta]\).

\begin{theorem}[KART--GF(16) isomorphism]\label{thm:kart-gf16}
For every threshold \(\theta\), every \(n \in \mathbb{N}\), and every pair of
vectors \(W, x \in \mathrm{GF}(16)^n\),
\[
\mathrm{vsa\_matmul}(\theta; W, x) \;=\;
\mathrm{kart\_compose}(\theta; W, x).
\]
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}[Proof sketch (R5: full proof Admitted)]
Let \(s = \sum_{p=1}^n \mathrm{popcount}(W_p \oplus x_p)\) and let
\(s' = \mathrm{popcount}(W \oplus x)\). Both quantities count the number of
set bits in the bit-wise XOR of \(W\) and \(x\); the only difference is whether
the count is taken cell-at-a-time and then summed (\(s\)) or all at once
(\(s'\)). Since the four bits of each \(\mathrm{GF}(16)\) cell are disjoint
from the bits of every other cell, the two counts are equal:
\(s = s'\). Both sides of the theorem then reduce to \([s \ge \theta]\),
establishing the equality. The full mechanisation requires a one-step
[length]-induction on the vectors \(W, x\) plus the disjoint-bit-lanes lemma;
it is currently \textbf{Admitted} pending sibling lane L-KAT-12-COQ-CLOSE.
\qed

\begin{quote}
\textbf{Falsifier.} Theorem~\ref{thm:kart-gf16} is rejected if there exists a
pair \((W, x) \in \mathrm{GF}(16)^n \times \mathrm{GF}(16)^n\) for some
\(n \le 4\) and a threshold \(\theta \le 4n\) such that
\(\mathrm{vsa\_matmul}(\theta; W, x) \ne \mathrm{kart\_compose}(\theta; W, x)\).
Witness path:
\filepath{crates/trios-golden-float/tests/kart\_gf16\_witness.rs}::\texttt{test\_kart\_gf16\_n4\_exhaustive}.
\end{quote}

(The register-map correctness proof and CDC timing invariant are deferred to Ch.28 and Ch.31 respectively, where the hardware measurements required for their hypotheses are available.)
For \(n > 4\) the theorem is currently conjectural; the wall-clock cost of
an exhaustive test grows as \(16^{2n} \cdot (4n + 1)\), which exceeds the
unit-test budget at \(n = 5\). The R5-honest position is that
Theorem~\ref{thm:kart-gf16} is established by combinatorial argument plus
empirical witness at \(n \le 4\), pending the formal Coq closure.

\subsection{5.3 Why this matters for the 0-DSP discipline}\label{subsec:kart-gf16-zero-dsp}

The practical consequence of Theorem~\ref{thm:kart-gf16} is that the Trinity
GF(16) inference pipeline is structurally KART-shaped: every learned weight
table \(W_p\) acts as an inner function \(\phi_p\), and the popcount-threshold
stage acts as the outer function \(\Phi\). KAN \cite{liu2024kan} pays for the
KART shape with FP32 spline interpolation at every edge, which on FPGA
synthesis collapses to multiply-accumulate units (DSP slices on Xilinx, MAC
columns on iCE40). Trinity GF(16) pays for the same shape with a 16-entry
4-bit look-up table per edge, which synthesises to combinational logic only
(zero DSP slices, see Ch.~\ref{ch:fpga-implementation},
\S~\ref{sec:fpga-utilisation}). Theorem~\ref{thm:kart-gf16} is therefore
not a numeric curiosity but the formal underpinning of the entire 0-DSP
discipline that motivates Ch.~\ref{ch:gf16-algebra},
Ch.~\ref{ch:fpga-implementation}, and Ch.~\ref{ch:mesh-node}.
