This checkpoint constructs prime-order fields (k=1), with genuine finite arithmetic tables, cardinality, and characteristic. Inversion is proved only for nonzero elements; the table's zero entry is a zero-to-zero convention. G091 for every prime power p^k, with an irreducible polynomial of degree k, remains open. No extension-field construction or G091 closure is claimed.
Exact theorem in conservative defined notation

Proof checkpoints
This is a reading aid, not a new proof or a proof-tree certificate. Checkpoint groups are consecutive commands, not inferred branch boundaries. Every step links to the preserved script.
