Constructive Cauchy–Davenport

∅≠A,B⊆𝔽ₚ ⇒ |A+B|≥min(p,|A|+|B|−1)

Construct genuine finite modular sets and their sumsets, then prove the sharp prime-field inequality by a witnessed cardinality-preserving transform and strict descent.

Exact mathematical boundary: Sets are complete characteristic-bit codes with actual finite cardinality witnesses. The proof constructs translations and the sumset; no finite-choice oracle, supplied cardinality conclusion, or unproved polynomial-method premise is used.
