Structural proof guide

A weighted central recurrence equation advances the strict four-power lower bound.

Direct prerequisites: add_eq_zero_right, add_comm, mul_comm, mul_assoc, mul_add, add_mul, mul_lt_mul_right_nonzero, lt_trans. The authored body proceeds by case analysis (1), intermediate claims (7), equality transport (3), closed numeral normalization (1).
