- This round's objective:  Directly study the subsequent dynamics of $\alpha_\nu$ / $\Lambda_G$ from Round 05, and examine whether an unavoidable higher-derivative hierarchy emerges; if it does, do not discretize immediately, but use the real Sobolev order $s$, continuous Fourier measure, and spectral covariance to lift the entire hierarchy at once into a continuous state field.
- Non-claims:  The hierarchy identities in this document are derived in the strong-solution regime where smooth rapidly decaying / Fourier pairings are valid. They provide a proof-route reduction and do not constitute a global regularity proof for the 3D Navier–Stokes equations.

# 0. Round 05 handoff

Round 05 established the exact strain-$\dot H^1$ growth identity:

$$
\boxed{
\frac12
\frac d{dt}
\|S\|_{\dot H^1}^2
+
\nu
\|-\Delta S\|_2^2
=
3
\int_{\mathbb R^3}
\Lambda_G
|\nabla S|^2
\,dx.
}
\tag{0.1}
$$

where:

$$
G[S]
=
M
+
2\sum_{k=1}^3(\partial_kS)^2
\succeq0,
$$

$$
M_{jk}
=
\partial_jS:\partial_kS,
$$

$$
W
=
\frac{G}{\operatorname{tr}G},
\qquad
\operatorname{tr}W=1,
$$

$$
\Lambda_G
=
-S:W.
$$

and defined:

$$
\boxed{
\alpha_\nu
=
\frac{
3\int\Lambda_G|\nabla S|^2dx
}{
\nu\|-\Delta S\|_2^2
}.
}
\tag{0.2}
$$

Thus:

$$
\boxed{
\frac12
\frac d{dt}
\|S\|_{\dot H^1}^2
+
\nu
(1-\alpha_\nu)
\|-\Delta S\|_2^2
=
0.
}
\tag{0.3}
$$

Round 05 frontier:

$$
\boxed{
\text{STOP-C09}
=
\text{Gradient-Stress / Compressive-Alignment Coercivity Gap}.
}
$$

The most direct question for this round is:

$$
\boxed{
\text{Can one control }\alpha_\nu(t)\text{ dynamically?}
}
$$

---

# 1. Projected strain equation as the hierarchy seed

In the $\mathbb R^3$ whole-space smooth class, write:

$$
\Lambda
=
(-\Delta)^{1/2}.
$$

The projected strain equation can be written as:

$$
\boxed{
\partial_tS
+
\nu\Lambda^2S
=
F,
}
\tag{1.1}
$$

where:

$$
\boxed{
F
=
\frac12P_{st}(\omega\otimes\omega)
-
\mathcal R,
}
\tag{1.2}
$$

and:

$$
\mathcal R
=
P_{st}
\left(
(u\cdot\nabla)S
+
S^2
+
\frac34\omega\otimes\omega
\right).
$$

The pressure has been exactly absorbed into the constraint space by the strain projection and does not appear explicitly in (1.1).

---

# 2. Direct differentiation of $\alpha_\nu$ immediately reaches the next derivative level

The denominator from Round 05:

$$
Q_1
=
\|-\Delta S\|_2^2
=
\|\Lambda^2S\|_2^2.
$$

Differentiating it:

$$
\frac12Q_1'
=
\left\langle
\Lambda^2\partial_tS,
\Lambda^2S
\right\rangle.
$$

From (1.1):

$$
\boxed{
\frac12Q_1'
+
\nu
\|\Lambda^3S\|_2^2
=
\left\langle
\Lambda^2F,
\Lambda^2S
\right\rangle.
}
\tag{2.1}
$$

Therefore, any direct quotient differentiation:

$$
\alpha_\nu
=
\frac{T_1}{\nu Q_1}
$$

will contain:

$$
Q_1',
$$

and $Q_1'$ has already introduced:

$$
\boxed{
\|\Lambda^3S\|_2^2
}
$$

as well as:

$$
\boxed{
\langle\Lambda^2F,\Lambda^2S\rangle.
}
$$

So tracking only a finite state:

$$
\left(
\|S\|_{\dot H^1},
\|\Delta S\|_2,
\alpha_\nu
\right)
$$

does not automatically close.

This is the first genuine higher-order extension signal.

However, this round does not immediately judge it as:

$$
\mathsf C\to\mathsf D.
$$

because the derivative order can be reparameterized using a continuous Fourier multiplier.

---

# 3. Continuous hierarchy lift

For any real number:

$$
s\ge0,
$$

define:

$$
\boxed{
M_s(t)
=
\|\Lambda^sS(t)\|_2^2.
}
\tag{3.1}
$$

This is not only defined on:

$$
s=0,1,2,\ldots
$$

This round treats:

$$
\boxed{
s\in[0,\infty)
}
$$

as a continuous structural coordinate.

Pairing (1.1) with $\Lambda^s$:

$$
\boxed{
\frac12
M_s'
+
\nu
M_{s+1}
=
T_s,
}
\tag{3.2}
$$

where:

$$
\boxed{
T_s
=
\langle
\Lambda^sF,
\Lambda^sS
\rangle.
}
\tag{3.3}
$$

Thus, the entire higher-derivative hierarchy is lifted into a continuous field:

$$
\boxed{
(s,t)
\longmapsto
(M_s,T_s).
}
\tag{3.4}
$$

---

# 4. General nonlinear/dissipation ratio

If:

$$
M_{s+1}>0,
$$

define:

$$
\boxed{
\alpha_s(t)
=
\frac{
T_s(t)
}{
\nu M_{s+1}(t)
}.
}
\tag{4.1}
$$

Then (3.2) becomes:

$$
\boxed{
M_s'
=
2\nu
(\alpha_s-1)
M_{s+1}.
}
\tag{4.2}
$$

Therefore:

$$
\boxed{
\frac d{dt}
\log M_s
=
2\nu
(\alpha_s-1)
\kappa_s,
}
\tag{4.3}
$$

where we define the continuous mean-square frequency:

$$
\boxed{
\kappa_s
=
\frac{
M_{s+1}
}{
M_s
}.
}
\tag{4.4}
$$

Thus:

$$
\boxed{
\alpha_s=1
}
$$

is the exact nonlinear/dissipation threshold for each real Sobolev level itself.

---

# 5. $\alpha_\nu$ from Round 05 is $\alpha_1$

For:

$$
s=1,
$$

we have:

$$
M_1
=
\|\nabla S\|_2^2,
$$

$$
M_2
=
\|\Delta S\|_2^2.
$$

and:

$$
T_1
=
\langle
\Lambda F,\Lambda S
\rangle
=
\langle
F,-\Delta S
\rangle.
$$

By strain–vorticity orthogonality:

$$
\left\langle
P_{st}(\omega\otimes\omega),
-\Delta S
\right\rangle
=
0,
$$

so:

$$
T_1
=
-
\langle
\mathcal R,-\Delta S
\rangle
=
3
\int
\Lambda_G
|\nabla S|^2dx.
$$

Therefore:

$$
\boxed{
\alpha_1
=
\alpha_\nu.
}
\tag{5.1}
$$

The exact carrier from Round 05 is not an isolated special case.

It is the $s=1$ slice in the continuous hierarchy:

$$
\boxed{
\{\alpha_s\}_{s\ge0}
}
$$

---

# 6. The $s=0$ coefficient

For:

$$
s=0,
$$

we have:

$$
M_0
=
\|S\|_2^2,
$$

$$
M_1
=
\|\nabla S\|_2^2.
$$

The exact strain-enstrophy identity:

$$
\frac12
M_0'
+
\nu
M_1
=
-2
\int
\det S\,dx.
$$

Therefore:

$$
\boxed{
T_0
=
-2
\int
\det S\,dx.
}
\tag{6.1}
$$

Define:

$$
\boxed{
\beta_\nu
=
\alpha_0
=
\frac{
-2\int\det S\,dx
}{
\nu\|\nabla S\|_2^2
}.
}
\tag{6.2}
$$

Thus:

$$
\boxed{
M_0'
=
2\nu
(\beta_\nu-1)
M_1.
}
\tag{6.3}
$$

Interpretation:

$$
\beta_\nu>1
$$

indicates that the strain enstrophy is currently growing;

$$
\beta_\nu<1
$$

indicates that viscosity dominates at the $H^0$ strain level.

---

# 7. Log-convexity of the continuous derivative hierarchy

Fourier representation:

$$
M_s
=
\int_{\mathbb R^3}
|\xi|^{2s}
|\widehat S(\xi)|^2
\,d\xi.
$$

By Cauchy–Schwarz:

$$
M_{s+1}^2
\le
M_sM_{s+2}.
$$

Therefore:

$$
\boxed{
\kappa_{s+1}
\ge
\kappa_s.
}
\tag{7.1}
$$

Equivalently:

$$
\boxed{
s\mapsto\log M_s
}
$$

is convex.

This is a purely continuous spectral fact.

There are no dyadic shells.

There is no discrete mode extraction.

---

# 8. Exact evolution law for $\kappa_s$

From:

$$
\kappa_s
=
\frac{M_{s+1}}{M_s},
$$

and:

$$
M_s'
=
2\nu
(\alpha_s-1)
M_{s+1},
$$

direct calculation yields:

$$
\boxed{
\begin{aligned}
\kappa_s'
={}&
2\nu
\kappa_s
\Big[
(\alpha_{s+1}-1)\kappa_{s+1}
-
(\alpha_s-1)\kappa_s
\Big].
\end{aligned}
}
\tag{8.1}
$$

Rearranging:

$$
\boxed{
\begin{aligned}
\kappa_s'
=
2\nu\kappa_s
\Big[
(\alpha_{s+1}-\alpha_s)\kappa_s
+
(\alpha_{s+1}-1)
(\kappa_{s+1}-\kappa_s)
\Big].
\end{aligned}
}
\tag{8.2}
$$

This is the core exact identity of this round.

---

# 9. Hierarchy-Slope Necessity Theorem

Since:

$$
\kappa_{s+1}-\kappa_s\ge0,
$$

if simultaneously:

$$
\alpha_{s+1}\le1
$$

and:

$$
\alpha_{s+1}\le\alpha_s,
$$

then both terms in (8.2) are non-positive.

Thus:

$$
\boxed{
\alpha_{s+1}
\le
\min\{1,\alpha_s\}
\quad
\Longrightarrow
\quad
\kappa_s'\le0.
}
\tag{9.1}
$$

Conversely:

$$
\boxed{
\kappa_s'>0
\quad
\Longrightarrow
\quad
\alpha_{s+1}>1
\quad
\text{or}
\quad
\alpha_{s+1}>\alpha_s.
}
\tag{9.2}
$$

Named:

$$
\boxed{
\textbf{Hierarchy-Slope Necessity}.
}
$$

This means:

> For the derivative scale to drift toward higher frequencies, the next-order nonlinear/dissipation ratio must exhibit at least one of the phenomena: "supercriticality" or "upward slope".

---

# 10. The exact $s=0$ scale law

Define:

$$
\boxed{
\kappa_0
=
\frac{
\|\nabla S\|_2^2
}{
\|S\|_2^2
},
}
\tag{10.1}
$$

and:

$$
\boxed{
\kappa_1
=
\frac{
\|\Delta S\|_2^2
}{
\|\nabla S\|_2^2
}.
}
\tag{10.2}
$$

Using:

$$
\alpha_0=\beta_\nu,
$$

$$
\alpha_1=\alpha_\nu,
$$

(8.2) gives:

$$
\boxed{
\kappa_0'
=
2\nu\kappa_0
\left[
(\alpha_\nu-\beta_\nu)\kappa_0
+
(\alpha_\nu-1)
(\kappa_1-\kappa_0)
\right].
}
\tag{10.3}
$$

This identity directly connects:

- enstrophy-level nonlinear competition $\beta_\nu$;
- strain-gradient nonlinear competition $\alpha_\nu$;
- derivative scale drift $\kappa_0$;
- spectral spread $\kappa_1-\kappa_0$.

---

# 11. Interpretation of the two terms

The first term:

$$
(\alpha_\nu-\beta_\nu)\kappa_0
$$

measures:

$$
\boxed{
\text{whether the higher derivative level experiences stronger nonlinear amplification than the lower derivative level}.
}
$$

The second term:

$$
(\alpha_\nu-1)
(\kappa_1-\kappa_0)
$$

measures:

$$
\boxed{
\text{how the existing spectral spread amplifies the scale drift when the H}^1\text{ level has exceeded the viscosity threshold}.
}
$$

Therefore:

$$
\boxed{
\text{forward derivative-scale drift}
}
$$

is not just an amplitude problem.

It is:

$$
\boxed{
\text{hierarchy slope}
+
\text{spectral spread}
+
\text{supercritical alignment}.
}
\tag{11.1}
$$

---

# 12. Continuous spectral probability measure

Define:

$$
\boxed{
d\mu_s(\xi)
=
\frac{
|\xi|^{2s}
|\widehat S(\xi)|^2
}{
M_s
}
\,d\xi.
}
\tag{12.1}
$$

Then:

$$
\mu_s
$$

is a probability measure.

We have:

$$
\boxed{
\kappa_s
=
\mathbb E_{\mu_s}
\left[
|\xi|^2
\right].
}
\tag{12.2}
$$

and:

$$
\frac{
M_{s+2}
}{
M_s
}
=
\mathbb E_{\mu_s}
\left[
|\xi|^4
\right].
$$

Thus:

$$
\boxed{
V_s
=
\frac{
M_{s+2}
}{
M_s
}
-
\kappa_s^2
=
\operatorname{Var}_{\mu_s}
\left(
|\xi|^2
\right)
\ge0.
}
\tag{12.3}
$$

Furthermore:

$$
\boxed{
V_s
=
\kappa_s
(\kappa_{s+1}-\kappa_s).
}
\tag{12.4}
$$

---

# 13. Diffusion is exactly spectral-variance damping

Define the normalized nonlinear growth rate:

$$
\boxed{
g_s
=
\frac{
T_s
}{
M_s
}.
}
\tag{13.1}
$$

From:

$$
g_s
=
\nu
\alpha_s
\kappa_s.
$$

we directly obtain another equivalent form from the ratio equation:

$$
\boxed{
\kappa_s'
=
2\kappa_s
(g_{s+1}-g_s)
-
2\nu
V_s.
}
\tag{13.2}
$$

Therefore, the effect of viscosity on the mean-square frequency is:

$$
\boxed{
-2\nu
\operatorname{Var}_{\mu_s}
(|\xi|^2).
}
\tag{13.3}
$$

It is always non-positive.

Thus:

$$
\boxed{
\textbf{
diffusion suppresses spectral-scale growth precisely through spectral variance.
}
}
\tag{13.4}
$$

This is not a heuristic.

It is an exact algebraic consequence of (13.2).

---

# 14. Continuous transfer-rate field

In Fourier space, define:

$$
e(\xi,t)
=
|\widehat S(\xi,t)|^2,
$$

and:

$$
h(\xi,t)
=
\operatorname{Re}
\left(
\widehat F(\xi,t)
:
\overline{\widehat S(\xi,t)}
\right).
$$

Where:

$$
e(\xi,t)>0
$$

define the local spectral transfer rate:

$$
\boxed{
\tau(\xi,t)
=
\frac{
h(\xi,t)
}{
e(\xi,t)
}.
}
\tag{14.1}
$$

Where:

$$
e=0
$$

set $\tau=0$; here $h=0$ because $\widehat S=0$.

Then:

$$
T_s
=
\int
|\xi|^{2s}
e(\xi)
\tau(\xi)
\,d\xi.
$$

Therefore:

$$
\boxed{
g_s
=
\mathbb E_{\mu_s}
[\tau].
}
\tag{14.2}
$$

---

# 15. Derivative-order slope is a transfer-frequency covariance

Assuming differentiation with respect to $s$ commutes with integration.

Since:

$$
d\mu_s
\propto
|\xi|^{2s}e(\xi)d\xi,
$$

we obtain:

$$
\boxed{
\partial_sg_s
=
2
\operatorname{Cov}_{\mu_s}
\left(
\tau,
\log|\xi|
\right).
}
\tag{15.1}
$$

Thus:

$$
\boxed{
g_{s+1}-g_s
=
2
\int_s^{s+1}
\operatorname{Cov}_{\mu_\sigma}
\left(
\tau,
\log|\xi|
\right)
d\sigma.
}
\tag{15.2}
$$

Substituting into (13.2):

$$
\boxed{
\begin{aligned}
\kappa_s'
={}&
4\kappa_s
\int_s^{s+1}
\operatorname{Cov}_{\mu_\sigma}
\left(
\tau,
\log|\xi|
\right)
d\sigma
\\
&-
2\nu
\operatorname{Var}_{\mu_s}
\left(
|\xi|^2
\right).
\end{aligned}
}
\tag{15.3}
$$

This is the sharpest continuous cascade identity of this round.

---

# 16. Continuous Cascade Criterion

From (15.3), if:

$$
\kappa_s'>0,
$$

then it must be that:

$$
\boxed{
2\kappa_s
\int_s^{s+1}
\operatorname{Cov}_{\mu_\sigma}
\left(
\tau,
\log|\xi|
\right)
d\sigma
>
\nu
\operatorname{Var}_{\mu_s}
(|\xi|^2).
}
\tag{16.1}
$$

That is:

> The higher frequency must systematically acquire a stronger normalized nonlinear transfer, and its transfer-frequency covariance must overpower the damping of spectral variance by viscosity.

This provides a forward-cascade condition that completely avoids the use of dyadic shells.

Named:

$$
\boxed{
\textbf{Continuous Spectral-Covariance Cascade Condition}.
}
$$

---

# 17. No-dyadic result

Traditional cascade analysis often naturally introduces:

$$
2^j,
$$

dyadic shells,

frequency blocks,

or a countable scale index.

This round does not.

All frequency information is preserved in:

$$
\xi\in\mathbb R^3
$$

as a continuous spectrum,

and:

$$
s\in[0,\infty)
$$

as a continuous derivative coordinate.

So currently:

$$
\boxed{
\text{infinite hierarchy}
}
$$

has emerged,

but:

$$
\boxed{
\text{essential discreteness}
}
$$

has not yet appeared.

Therefore:

$$
\boxed{
T_{\mathsf C\to\mathsf D}
=
\text{NOT YET REACHED}.
}
\tag{17.1}
$$

---

# 18. X-integral interpretation of the hierarchy

The original X integral can write repeated structural formation as:

$$
X_{s+ds}
=
\int_{\rho_s}
X_s.
$$

This round treats the derivative hierarchy as:

$$
\boxed{
\mathcal H_{\rm NS}
=
\int_{s\in[0,\infty)}
\left(
M_s,
\alpha_s,
\kappa_s,
\mu_s,
g_s
\right)
\,ds
}
\tag{18.1}
$$

This is not a definitional declaration of a Lebesgue numerical integral.

It is, under the semantics of the X integral:

> Preserving the valid states, adjacent layer relationships, nonlinear/dissipation ratios, and spectral geometry of all real derivative levels together in a single continuous hierarchy object.

Therefore, the direct:

$$
\alpha_1
\to
\alpha_1'
\to
\alpha_2
\to
\cdots
$$

step-by-step tracking is rewritten as:

$$
\boxed{
(s,t)
\mapsto
\alpha_s(t).
}
\tag{18.2}
$$

This is the continuous infinite-hierarchy repair of this round.

---

# 19. The hierarchy is compressed, but not closed

Although the higher derivative explosion has been repackaged into a continuous field,

the closure still lacks:

$$
\boxed{
\alpha_s(t)
}
$$

an unconditional structure theorem along $s$.

Currently, there is no proof that:

$$
\alpha_{s+1}
\le
\alpha_s,
$$

nor is there a proof that:

$$
\alpha_s
\le1
$$

holds for all $s,t$.

Likewise, there is no unconditional upper bound:

$$
\operatorname{Cov}_{\mu_s}
(
\tau,\log|\xi|
)
\le
\frac{
\nu
}{
2\kappa_s
}
\operatorname{Var}_{\mu_s}
(|\xi|^2).
$$

Therefore, the infinite hierarchy has been **represented**,

but it has not been **coercively closed**.

This is:

$$
\boxed{
\text{representation closure}
\neq
\text{regularity closure}.
}
\tag{19.1}
$$

# 21. Exact necessary condition for blow-up of a fixed Sobolev level

From (4.3):

$$
\log
\frac{
M_s(T)
}{
M_s(0)
}
=
2\nu
\int_0^T
(\alpha_s-1)
\kappa_s
\,dt.
$$

Therefore, if:

$$
M_s(t)
\to\infty
$$

at:

$$
T_\ast<\infty,
$$

then it must be that:

$$
\boxed{
\int_0^{T_\ast}
(\alpha_s-1)
\kappa_s
\,dt
=
+\infty.
}
\tag{21.1}
$$

More conservatively:

$$
\boxed{
\int_0^{T_\ast}
(\alpha_s-1)_+
\kappa_s
\,dt
=
+\infty
}
\tag{21.2}
$$

is a necessary condition.

So blow-up does not merely require that at some instant:

$$
\alpha_s>1.
$$

It requires:

$$
\boxed{
\text{supercritical nonlinear/dissipation excess}
\times
\text{active frequency scale}
}
$$

to have infinite accumulation.

---

# 22. Two continuous blow-up channels

This round can divide the pure-continuous danger into two distinct channels.

## Channel A — amplitude amplification

For a fixed $s$:

$$
\boxed{
(\alpha_s-1)\kappa_s
}
$$

accumulates positively over a long time, directly causing:

$$
M_s
$$

to grow.

## Channel B — scale migration

$$
\boxed{
\alpha_{s+1}>\alpha_s
}
$$

or:

$$
\alpha_{s+1}>1
$$

causes:

$$
\kappa_s
$$

to migrate toward higher frequencies.

Therefore:

$$
\boxed{
\text{blow-up geometry}
}
$$

should not only ask:

> Does the norm become larger?

It must also ask:

> Does the nonlinear amplification skew toward higher frequencies along the derivative hierarchy?

This is the structural gain of Round 06 over Round 05.

# 23. 24/72 Ledger — Round 06

| Step | X object / operation | $B$ | $U$ | $O$ | $L$ | status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C54 | direct $\alpha_\nu'$ attempt | $\mathsf C$ | $\mathsf S$ | targeted scalar | $\mathsf F$ | NEXT-ORDER LEAK |
| C55 | real Sobolev hierarchy $M_s$ | $\mathsf C$ | continuous family | $\mathsf X$ | $\mathsf F$ | FORM |
| C56 | $\alpha_s$ field | $\mathsf C$ | relational | continuous profile | $\mathsf F$ | FORM |
| C57 | $\kappa_s$ field | $\mathsf C$ | relational | continuous profile | $\mathsf F$ | FORM |
| C58 | log-convexity $\kappa_{s+1}\ge\kappa_s$ | $\mathsf C$ | — | continuous profile | $\mathsf F$ | EXACT |
| C59 | hierarchy-slope law | $\mathsf C$ | $\mathsf S$ | continuous profile | $\mathsf F$ | EXACT |
| C60 | spectral probability $\mu_s$ | $\mathsf C$ | $\mathsf P$ spectral organization | $\mathsf X$ | $\mathsf F$ | FORM |

There is no:

$$
\mathsf K
$$

or:

$$
\mathsf Q.
$$

The transition law remains:

$$
\boxed{
L=\mathsf F.
}
$$

# 24. Current Pure-C path

After six rounds:

$$
\boxed{
\begin{aligned}
\mathsf C_{\rm energy}
&\to
\mathsf C_{\rm critical}
\\
&\to
\mathsf C_{\rm relational}
\\
&\to
\mathsf C_{\rm global/nonlocal}
\\
&\to
\mathsf C_{\rm projected}
\\
&\to
\mathsf C_{\rm gradient\ geometry}
\\
&\to
\mathsf C_{\rm infinite\ hierarchy}
\\
&\to
\mathsf C_{\rm spectral\ covariance}.
\end{aligned}
}
\tag{24.1}
$$

So the most important answer at present is:

$$
\boxed{
\textbf{
Pure continuity still has not been forced to become discrete.
}
}
$$

Even if the derivative hierarchy becomes infinite,

it can still be maintained as a continuous state using:

$$
s\in[0,\infty)
$$

and:

$$
\xi\in\mathbb R^3
$$

# 25. Next round — continuous hierarchy resummation

There are now two choices.

We cannot return to step-by-step differentiation:

$$
\alpha_1
\to
\alpha_2
\to
\alpha_3
\to\cdots
$$

because this merely expands the infinite hierarchy.

The next round will instead perform:

$$
\boxed{
\textbf{Continuous Hierarchy Resummation}.
}
$$

The candidate is the Gevrey / analytic generating carrier:

$$
\boxed{
\mathcal G_{\tau,s}
=
\|
e^{\tau\Lambda}
\Lambda^sS
\|_2^2.
}
$$

Its Fourier weight:

$$
e^{2\tau|\xi|}
|\xi|^{2s}
$$

preserves all high-frequency tails at once.

Questions for the next round:

1. Can viscosity provide analytic-radius growth;
2. Does the nonlinear term only require an integrable critical carrier;
3. Can we choose a dynamic radius:

$$
\tau(t)>0
$$

so that the entire derivative hierarchy is controlled simultaneously;
4. If:

$$
\tau(t)\downarrow0
$$

is the only possible escape, can the singularity frontier be compressed into an analytic-radius collapse;
5. If the Gevrey carrier still only yields a local/small-data closure, then record a new STOP;
6. Only when the resummation itself must use countable shells / discrete extraction, will we declare:

$$
T_{\mathsf C\to\mathsf D}.
$$
