# 0. Executive summary

R13 proved that the R12 quotient gate and the historical G2E.5 square-value cover are two torsion/Kummer charts of the same obstruction after pullback through the historical $2$-isogeny.

R14 chooses one canonical chart and transports the strongest R9–R12 Mordell-Weil information into it.

The canonical elliptic curve is the historical normalized rank-one curve

$$
\boxed{
E_0:
\qquad
y^2
=
x^3
-
2x^2
+
\lambda^2x,
}
$$

with

$$
\boxed{
\lambda
=
\frac{1352033}{950625}.
}
$$

The canonical square-value cover is

$$
\boxed{
r^2=2-x.
}
$$

The full-$2$-torsion isogenous source is

$$
\boxed{
E_0':
\qquad
Y^2
=
X(X-448^2)(X+1073^2).
}
$$

Let

$$
\boxed{
G_0=(480704,-468686400)\in E_0'(\mathbb Q).
}
$$

Under the normalized degree-$2$ isogeny

$$
\phi:E_0'\to E_0,
$$

one obtains the exact point

$$
\boxed{
Q
=
\phi(G_0)
=
\left(
1,
\frac{961408}{950625}
\right).
}
$$

Thus the historical boundary anchor

$$
x=1
$$

is exactly the image of the known odd-index Mordell-Weil surrogate.

The two R9–R11 surviving rational $2$-torsion cosets on $E_0'$ were

$$
T_A=(448^2,0),
$$

and

$$
T_{-B}=(-1073^2,0).
$$

Both map to the same nontrivial rational $2$-torsion point

$$
\boxed{
T=(0,0)\in E_0(\mathbb Q).
}
$$

Therefore every R11 surviving point

$$
[c]G_0+T_A
$$

or

$$
[c]G_0+T_{-B}
$$

has the same image

$$
[c]Q+T.
$$

Applying the R13 torsion translation

$$
\tau_T
$$

removes this final torsion term and gives

$$
\boxed{
[c]Q.
}
$$

Hence the two surviving $E_0'$ torsion cosets collapse to **one torsion-free Mordell-Weil orbit** on the canonical historical cover.

Moreover, $Q$ itself is an odd-index surrogate for the primitive free generator of $E_0(\mathbb Q)$.

This is certified without assuming saturation.

Modulo $17$,

$$
E_0:
\qquad
y^2=x^3-2x^2+9x.
$$

The reduction has

$$
\boxed{
\#E_0(\mathbb F_{17})=24.
}
$$

The image of doubling is

$$
\boxed{
2E_0(\mathbb F_{17})
=
\{
O,
(0,0),
(2,\pm1),
(13,\pm2)
\}.
}
$$

But

$$
\boxed{
Q\bmod17=(1,12),
}
$$

and

$$
\boxed{
(Q+T)\bmod17=(9,11)
}
$$

are both outside this set.

Therefore the free coefficient of $Q$ is odd.

Consequently the same $2$-adic normalized Mordell-Weil coefficient used in R9–R12 transports directly to the canonical historical orbit

$$
[c]Q.
$$

The R11 necessary condition becomes

$$
\boxed{
c\bmod2^{18}
\in
\mathcal C_{18},
}
$$

where

$$
\boxed{
\mathcal C_{18}
=
\pm
\{
1,
16385,
114687,
131071
\}.
}
$$

No torsion ambiguity remains.

Since the old square-value function depends only on $x$, elliptic negation identifies the sign-paired classes at the first cover level.

Thus the canonical square-value stage has only four coefficient sign-orbits modulo $2^{18}$.

Finally, the historical genus-$2$ cover admits a much shorter canonical sextic model than the older large-coefficient form.

With

$$
M=950625,
\qquad
L=1352033,
$$

set

$$
\boxed{
\mathcal H_{\rm can}:
\qquad
\mathcal Y^2
=
(2-r^2)
\left(
M^2r^4
-
2M^2r^2
+
L^2
\right).
}
$$

The map to $E_0$ is simply

$$
\boxed{
x=2-r^2,
\qquad
y=\frac{\mathcal Y}{M}.
}
$$

The historical G2E.5 even sextic is obtained from this model by

$$
\boxed{
r=\frac{L}{M}s.
}
$$

Therefore R14 formally selects one canonical cover, one canonical rank-one orbit, and one transported residue packet for all future elliptic-Chabauty work.

# 1. Source elliptic curve

Use

$$
\boxed{
E_0':
\qquad
Y^2
=
X(X-A)(X+B),
}
$$

where

$$
\boxed{
A=448^2=200704,
}
$$

and

$$
\boxed{
B=1073^2=1151329.
}
$$

Define

$$
\boxed{
M=B-A=950625=975^2,
}
$$

and

$$
\boxed{
L=A+B=1352033.
}
$$

Then

$$
E_0':
\qquad
Y^2
=
X^3
+
MX^2
-
ABX.
$$

---

# 2. Normalized target elliptic curve

The standard $2$-isogenous target is

$$
\widehat E:
\qquad
V^2
=
U^3
-
2MU^2
+
L^2U.
$$

Normalize by

$$
\boxed{
U=Mx,
}
$$

and

$$
\boxed{
V=975^3y.
}
$$

Because

$$
M=975^2,
$$

the target becomes

$$
\boxed{
E_0:
\qquad
y^2
=
x^3
-
2x^2
+
\lambda^2x,
}
$$

with

$$
\boxed{
\lambda
=
\frac{L}{M}
=
\frac{1352033}{950625}.
}
$$

---

# 3. Explicit normalized isogeny

For a finite point

$$
P=(X,Y)\in E_0',
$$

with

$$
X\ne0,
$$

define

$$
\boxed{
U
=
\frac{Y^2}{X^2}.
}
$$

The corresponding unnormalized $y$-coordinate is

$$
\boxed{
V
=
-
\frac{
Y(X^2+AB)
}{
X^2
}.
}
$$

Therefore the normalized map is

$$
\boxed{
x
=
\frac{
Y^2
}{
MX^2
},
}
$$

and

$$
\boxed{
y
=
-
\frac{
Y(X^2+AB)
}{
975^3X^2
}.
}
$$

The kernel is

$$
\boxed{
\{O,(0,0)\}.
}
$$

---

# 4. Image of the known Mordell-Weil surrogate

Use

$$
\boxed{
G_0
=
(480704,-468686400).
}
$$

Since

$$
\frac{
468686400^2
}{
480704^2
}
=
950625,
$$

we obtain

$$
\boxed{
x(\phi(G_0))=1.
}
$$

The normalized $y$-coordinate is

$$
\boxed{
\frac{961408}{950625}.
}
$$

Therefore

$$
\boxed{
Q
=
\phi(G_0)
=
\left(
1,
\frac{961408}{950625}
\right).
}
$$

This is precisely the historical boundary anchor.

---

# 5. Boundary-anchor verification

At

$$
x=1,
$$

the elliptic equation gives

$$
y^2
=
\lambda^2-1.
$$

Now

$$
\boxed{
L^2-M^2
=
961408^2.
}
$$

Hence

$$
\lambda^2-1
=
\left(
\frac{961408}{950625}
\right)^2.
$$

So the point

$$
Q
$$

lies on

$$
E_0(\mathbb Q)
$$

exactly.

The canonical old square function satisfies

$$
\boxed{
2-x(Q)=1.
}
$$

Thus $Q$ is a rational point on the canonical genus-$2$ cover.

---

# 6. Rational $2$-torsion on the target

The normalized target curve has one nontrivial rational $2$-torsion point:

$$
\boxed{
T=(0,0).
}
$$

Translation by this point is

$$
\boxed{
\tau_T(x,y)
=
\left(
\frac{\lambda^2}{x},
-
\frac{\lambda^2y}{x^2}
\right).
}
$$

In particular,

$$
\boxed{
x(Q+T)=\lambda^2.
}
$$

This is the R13 torsion-dual boundary chart.

---

# 7. Images of the surviving source torsion points

On

$$
E_0',
$$

the three nonzero rational $2$-torsion points are

$$
T_0=(0,0),
$$

$$
T_A=(A,0),
$$

and

$$
T_{-B}=(-B,0).
$$

The isogeny kernel is

$$
\boxed{
\{O,T_0\}.
}
$$

Therefore

$$
T_A
$$

and

$$
T_{-B}
$$

have the same image.

Directly from the isogeny formulas,

$$
\boxed{
\phi(T_A)=T,
}
$$

and

$$
\boxed{
\phi(T_{-B})=T.
}
$$

This is also forced by

$$
T_A+T_{-B}=T_0.
$$

---

# 8. Transport of the R11 surviving cosets

R11 proved that every hypothetical full fixed-fiber rational point must lie in one of the two effective source cosets

$$
[c]G_0+T_A,
$$

or

$$
[c]G_0+T_{-B},
$$

with

$$
c\bmod2^{18}
\in
\mathcal C_{18}.
$$

Apply the isogeny.

Both cases give

$$
\boxed{
[c]Q+T.
}
$$

Thus the two source torsion cosets become one target torsion coset.

Now apply the R13 torsion translation:

$$
\boxed{
\tau_T([c]Q+T)=[c]Q.
}
$$

Therefore all surviving arithmetic data can be transported to the single orbit

$$
\boxed{
\{[c]Q\}.
}
$$

---

# 9. Exact torsion-ambiguity elimination theorem

## Theorem

The two R11 source torsion cosets

$$
T_A,
\qquad
T_{-B}
$$

produce the same canonical point on the historical square-value chart after:

1. the degree-$2$ isogeny;
2. translation by the nontrivial target $2$-torsion point.

Explicitly:

$$
\boxed{
\tau_T
\phi
\left(
[c]G_0+T_A
\right)
=
[c]Q,
}
$$

and

$$
\boxed{
\tau_T
\phi
\left(
[c]G_0+T_{-B}
\right)
=
[c]Q.
}
$$

Therefore no torsion label survives in the canonical historical cover.

---

# 10. The odd-index question on $E_0$

To use

$$
Q
$$

as a proof-safe $2$-primary Mordell-Weil surrogate, we must verify that its free-lattice coefficient is odd.

This must be proved independently of any unverified saturation assumption.

R14 uses reduction modulo

$$
17.
$$

---

# 11. Reduction modulo $17$

Since

$$
M\equiv2\pmod{17},
$$

and

$$
L\equiv6\pmod{17},
$$

we have

$$
\lambda
\equiv3\pmod{17}.
$$

Hence

$$
\lambda^2
\equiv9\pmod{17}.
$$

The reduced curve is

$$
\boxed{
E_0/\mathbb F_{17}:
\qquad
y^2
=
x^3
-
2x^2
+
9x.
}
$$

Direct exact point counting gives

$$
\boxed{
\#E_0(\mathbb F_{17})=24.
}
$$

---

# 12. Image of doubling modulo $17$

Exact enumeration gives

$$
\boxed{
2E_0(\mathbb F_{17})
=
\{
O,
(0,0),
(2,1),
(2,16),
(13,2),
(13,15)
\}.
}
$$

Meanwhile

$$
\boxed{
Q\bmod17=(1,12).
}
$$

Also

$$
\boxed{
(Q+T)\bmod17=(9,11).
}
$$

Neither point lies in

$$
2E_0(\mathbb F_{17}).
$$

---

# 13. Odd-index theorem for $Q$

Write

$$
E_0(\mathbb Q)
\cong
\mathbb Z H
\oplus
\langle T\rangle,
$$

where

$$
H
$$

is primitive in the free part.

Write

$$
Q=kH+\epsilon T.
$$

Suppose

$$
k
$$

were even.

If

$$
\epsilon=0,
$$

then

$$
Q\in2E_0(\mathbb Q).
$$

If

$$
\epsilon=1,
$$

then

$$
Q+T\in2E_0(\mathbb Q).
$$

Either conclusion would remain true after good reduction modulo

$$
17.
$$

But neither reduced point is in

$$
2E_0(\mathbb F_{17}).
$$

Contradiction.

Therefore

$$
\boxed{
k\text{ is odd}.
}
$$

Thus $Q$ has odd index in the primitive free subgroup modulo torsion.

---

# 14. Consequence for the normalized coefficient

R9 defined a normalized $2$-adic coefficient

$$
c
$$

using the fact that

$$
G_0
$$

has odd free index.

R14 proves that

$$
Q
$$

also has odd free index.

Therefore the same normalized coefficient transports through the isogeny without a hidden factor of two.

The R11 congruence data may be used directly on the orbit

$$
[c]Q.
$$

This is a proof-safe transport.

---

# 15. Transported R11 coefficient packet

The R11 coefficient set is

$$
\boxed{
\mathcal C_{18}
=
\{
1,
16385,
114687,
131071,
131073,
147457,
245759,
262143
\}.
}
$$

Equivalently,

$$
\boxed{
\mathcal C_{18}
=
\pm
\{
1,
16385,
114687,
131071
\}
\pmod{2^{18}}.
}
$$

R14 transports this unchanged to the canonical historical orbit:

$$
\boxed{
P_c=[c]Q.
}
$$

Thus every hypothetical nonboundary fixed-slice solution must arise above a coefficient satisfying

$$
\boxed{
c\bmod2^{18}
\in
\mathcal C_{18}.
}
$$

---

# 16. Negation symmetry

The canonical old square function is

$$
f_{\rm old}=2-x.
$$

Elliptic negation sends

$$
(x,y)\mapsto(x,-y).
$$

Therefore

$$
\boxed{
f_{\rm old}(-P)=f_{\rm old}(P).
}
$$

At the first genus-$2$ square-value level, the coefficient classes

$$
c
$$

and

$$
-c
$$

therefore have the same $x$-coordinate and the same square condition.

Hence the eight R11 coefficient residues form four sign-orbits:

$$
\boxed{
\{1,-1\},
}
$$

$$
\boxed{
\{16385,-16385\},
}
$$

$$
\boxed{
\{114687,-114687\},
}
$$

and

$$
\boxed{
\{131071,-131071\}
}
$$

modulo

$$
2^{18}.
$$

This reduces the first-cover bookkeeping to four coefficient classes up to elliptic sign.

Higher lifts may still distinguish the sign of $y$, so the sign quotient must not be applied blindly beyond the square-value stage.

---

# 17. Canonical historical square-value cover

The historical cover is

$$
\boxed{
r^2=2-x.
}
$$

Eliminate

$$
x
$$

using

$$
\boxed{
x=2-r^2.
}
$$

Substitute into

$$
E_0:
\qquad
y^2
=
x
\left(
x^2-2x+\lambda^2
\right).
$$

The second factor becomes

$$
\boxed{
x^2-2x+\lambda^2
=
r^4-2r^2+\lambda^2.
}
$$

Therefore

$$
\boxed{
y^2
=
(2-r^2)
\left(
r^4-2r^2+\lambda^2
\right).
}
$$

---

# 18. Integral-scaled canonical sextic

Multiply the square root by

$$
M.
$$

Define

$$
\boxed{
\mathcal Y=My.
}
$$

Then

$$
\boxed{
\mathcal H_{\rm can}:
\qquad
\mathcal Y^2
=
(2-r^2)
\left(
M^2r^4
-
2M^2r^2
+
L^2
\right).
}
$$

This is an even sextic genus-$2$ model.

It is the preferred canonical model for future elliptic-Chabauty work.

---

# 19. Direct quotient map

The map from the canonical sextic to

$$
E_0
$$

is simply

$$
\boxed{
x=2-r^2,
}
$$

and

$$
\boxed{
y=\frac{\mathcal Y}{M}.
}
$$

The involution

$$
r\mapsto-r
$$

is the degree-$2$ quotient map to the elliptic base.

The old square-value coordinate is therefore visible directly.

---

# 20. Boundary anchor in canonical coordinates

At

$$
Q,
$$

we have

$$
x=1.
$$

Therefore

$$
r^2=1.
$$

The two boundary lifts are

$$
\boxed{
r=1,
}
$$

and

$$
\boxed{
r=-1.
}
$$

Thus the historical boundary anchor becomes the simplest possible pair of rational points on the canonical sextic.

This is another reason to prefer the old chart.

---

# 21. Relation to the historical G2E.5 even model

The historical even genus-$2$ model was

$$
\boxed{
\bar Y^2
=
-
\left(
L^2s^2
-
2M^2
\right)
}
$$

$$
\boxed{
\qquad\cdot
\left(
L^2s^4
-
2M^2s^2
+
M^2
\right).
}
$$

Set

$$
\boxed{
r=\frac{L}{M}s.
}
$$

Then

$$
2-r^2
=
-
\frac{
L^2s^2-2M^2
}{
M^2
}.
$$

Also

$$
M^2r^4-2M^2r^2+L^2
=
\frac{
L^2
}{
M^2
}
\left(
L^2s^4
-
2M^2s^2
+
M^2
\right).
$$

Therefore

$$
\boxed{
\mathcal Y
=
\frac{L}{M^2}\bar Y
}
$$

maps the historical model to the R14 canonical sextic.

Thus the two genus-$2$ equations are exactly the same curve.

---

# 22. Why the R14 model is preferable

The canonical model

$$
\mathcal Y^2
=
(2-r^2)
\left(
M^2r^4-2M^2r^2+L^2
\right)
$$

has several advantages.

1. The elliptic quotient map is:
   $$
   x=2-r^2.
   $$

2. The boundary anchor is:
   $$
   r=\pm1.
   $$

3. The square-value condition is built into the coordinate itself.

4. The connection to R13 is immediate.

5. Coefficient growth is lower than in the historical Möbius-conjugated sextic.

6. The model is even, exposing the bielliptic involution directly.

Therefore this model should be canonical for future implementation.

---

# 23. Old versus new torsion chart

The R13 new chart uses

$$
s^2=2x-\lambda^2.
$$

The old chart uses

$$
r^2=2-x.
$$

They are equivalent after the isogeny/Kummer pullback.

However, after R14 transport the old chart has the cleaner boundary structure:

$$
Q
\longleftrightarrow
r=\pm1.
$$

The new chart places the same boundary state at the torsion-translated point

$$
Q+T,
$$

with

$$
x=\lambda^2.
$$

Thus the old chart is the preferred canonical chart for arithmetic enumeration.

The new chart remains useful as a dual local coordinate.

---

# 24. Image of the R11 boundary centers

The R9/R11 source centers were

$$
\pm G_0+T_A
$$

and

$$
\pm G_0+T_{-B}.
$$

After the isogeny and target torsion translation they become

$$
\boxed{
\pm Q.
}
$$

Thus the four source boundary centers collapse to the two elliptic signs of one target boundary anchor.

After quotienting by the square-value coordinate

$$
r^2=2-x,
$$

these become the two points

$$
\boxed{
r=\pm1.
}
$$

This is the full boundary compression:

$$
4
\longrightarrow
2
\longrightarrow
1
$$

at the levels:

- source elliptic points;
- genus-$2$ lifts;
- elliptic $x$-coordinate.

---

# 25. State-count compression

At the end of R11:

- eight coefficient residues remained;
- two source torsion cosets remained.

This gave:

$$
16
$$

finite coefficient/torsion states at precision

$$
2^{18}.
$$

R12 identified the two source torsion cosets as one gate-symmetry orbit.

R14 removes the ambiguity completely on the canonical historical target.

Thus the state packet is now simply

$$
\boxed{
8
\text{ coefficient residues}.
}
$$

At the first square-value stage, elliptic negation pairs them, leaving

$$
\boxed{
4
\text{ coefficient sign-orbits}.
}
$$

This is the smallest proof-safe finite state description obtained so far.

---

# 26. Why odd-order clean primes require care

The coefficient

$$
c
$$

is fundamentally a normalized $2$-adic Mordell-Weil coefficient.

A residue such as

$$
c\equiv c_0\pmod{2^{18}}
$$

does not determine

$$
c
$$

modulo an odd factor of a finite reduction order.

Therefore one must not take an integer representative

$$
c_0
$$

and reduce it modulo an arbitrary mixed-order Mordell-Weil order.

Doing so would implicitly assume knowledge of the unknown odd saturation index.

This is invalid.

R14 retains the proof-safe rule:

$$
\boxed{
\text{use Sylow-}2\text{ projection at mixed-order primes}.
}
$$

---

# 27. Correct clean-prime workflow on $E_0$

For a good prime

$$
p,
$$

write

$$
\#E_0(\mathbb F_p)=2^sm,
$$

with

$$
m
$$

odd.

The correct workflow is:

1. test the square-value cover on the original reduced candidate;

2. project the candidate by:
   $$
   [m];
   $$

3. project:
   $$
   Q
   $$
   and target torsion by the same map;

4. compare the projected candidate with the projected Mordell-Weil image.

This is the same proof-safe rule already established in G2E.5 and R11-R12.

---

# 28. Odd-index surrogate on the canonical curve

Because the free coefficient of

$$
Q
$$

is odd, multiplication by the unknown global index is invertible on every Sylow-$2$ reduction subgroup.

Therefore

$$
Q
$$

may replace a primitive generator in every $2$-primary Mordell-Weil sieve.

This is the exact target-curve analogue of the old statement for

$$
G_0.
$$

No new saturation computation is required before continuing the sieve.

---

# 29. Transport theorem for R11 residues

## Theorem

Let

$$
c\in\mathbb Z_2
$$

be the normalized coefficient associated with a hypothetical fixed-fiber rational point.

If the point survives the R11 double-gate sieve, then after the R13/R14 canonical transport its historical elliptic image is

$$
\boxed{
[c]Q
}
$$

with

$$
\boxed{
c\bmod2^{18}
\in
\mathcal C_{18}.
}
$$

There is no residual rational $2$-torsion ambiguity.

This is the canonical arithmetic input for future elliptic-Chabauty computation.

# 30. Canonical implementation data

Future local or external computation only needs the following package.

## Elliptic base

$$
\boxed{
E_0:
\quad
y^2
=
x^3-2x^2+\lambda^2x.
}
$$

## Parameter

$$
\boxed{
\lambda=\frac{1352033}{950625}.
}
$$

## Odd-index Mordell-Weil surrogate

$$
\boxed{
Q=
\left(
1,
\frac{961408}{950625}
\right).
}
$$

## Torsion

$$
\boxed{
T=(0,0).
}
$$

## Canonical square function

$$
\boxed{
f=2-x.
}
$$

## Coefficient packet

$$
\boxed{
c\bmod2^{18}
\in
\pm
\{
1,
16385,
114687,
131071
\}.
}
$$

## Canonical genus-$2$ model

$$
\boxed{
\mathcal Y^2
=
(2-r^2)
\left(
950625^2r^4
-
2\cdot950625^2r^2
+
1352033^2
\right).
}
$$

# 31. What R14 does not prove

R14 does not classify all rational points on the canonical genus-$2$ cover.

It does not prove that the four nonboundary coefficient sign-orbits are empty.

It does not prove that

$$
Q
$$

is a primitive generator.

It proves only that its free index is odd, which is sufficient for all $2$-primary sieves.

It also does not replace the remaining higher-lift compatibility required for a full Perfect Cuboid point.

The elliptic-Chabauty cover remains a necessary intermediate layer.

---

# 32. Strategic consequence

The research architecture should no longer maintain separate arithmetic implementations for:

- the R12 new quotient gate;
- the historical G2E.5 old gate.

R13 proves they are torsion/Kummer dual.

R14 chooses the old chart canonically and transports all current residue information into it.

Therefore the next exact arithmetic stage can focus on one curve:

$$
\boxed{
\mathcal H_{\rm can}.
}
$$

This avoids duplicate descent, duplicate local sieves, and duplicate boundary bookkeeping.

---

# 33. Proposed R15 program

R15 should now perform arithmetic directly on the canonical genus-$2$ cover.

## R15-A — Finite-prime Mordell-Weil sieve on the canonical cover

For each good prime:

1. enumerate reduced points on:
   $$
   E_0;
   $$

2. retain those with:
   $$
   2-x
   $$
   square;

3. apply proof-safe Sylow-$2$ projection;

4. compare with the subgroup generated by:
   $$
   Q
   $$
   and torsion;

5. intersect with the transported:
   $$
   \mathcal C_{18}
   $$
   coefficient packet.

## R15-B — Use the historical clean primes first

Re-evaluate:

$$
11,
59,
181,
197,
1669
$$

directly in the canonical cover model.

Because the coordinate and boundary anchor are now simplified, record the actual surviving coefficient disks rather than only the older $h$-residue statement.

## R15-C — Elliptic-Chabauty handoff

Prepare an exact Sage/Magma-compatible specification of:

- $E_0$;
- $Q$;
- the degree-$2$ cover:
  $$
  r^2=2-x;
  $$
- the known residue packet;
- boundary points:
  $$
  r=\pm1.
  $$

The target is a direct classification of rational lifts.

## R15-D — Higher-lift check

Any nonboundary rational point on the canonical genus-$2$ cover must still pass the remaining Perfect-Cuboid lift.

Transport it back through:

$$
E_0'
$$

and apply the second R8 gate.

This preserves proof safety.

## R15-E — Fixed-slice theorem target

The preferred theorem remains:

> all rational points on the complete fixed-slice cover compatible with the Mordell-Weil residue packet are boundary.

If proved, then

$$
\boxed{
n=\frac7{32}
}
$$

contains no nondegenerate Perfect Cuboid point.

---

# 34. Final conclusion

R14 completes the practical merge initiated by R13.

The known source Mordell-Weil surrogate

$$
G_0
$$

maps to the historical boundary point

$$
\boxed{
Q=
\left(
1,
\frac{961408}{950625}
\right)
}
$$

on

$$
E_0.
$$

The two surviving source rational $2$-torsion cosets both map to the same target torsion point and are removed by the R13 torsion translation.

Therefore all surviving arithmetic data are represented by the single orbit

$$
\boxed{
[c]Q.
}
$$

A mod-$17$ doubling certificate proves that $Q$ has odd free-lattice index, so it is a proof-safe surrogate for all future $2$-primary sieves.

The R11 coefficient packet transports unchanged:

$$
\boxed{
c\bmod2^{18}
\in
\pm
\{
1,
16385,
114687,
131071
\}.
}
$$

The historical genus-$2$ cover is best represented by the short canonical sextic

$$
\boxed{
\mathcal Y^2
=
(2-r^2)
\left(
M^2r^4-2M^2r^2+L^2
\right).
}
$$

Its boundary anchor is simply

$$
\boxed{
r=\pm1.
}
$$

Thus the full R0–R13 structural program has now returned to one canonical rank-one elliptic-Chabauty problem with a sharply restricted Mordell-Weil residue packet.

This is the canonical starting point for R15.
