Six Birds for Navier-Stokes: A Mechanized No-Zeno Scaffold

A mechanized scaffold that says where a fluid proof would need new math.

In plain words

Energy bounds control the total size of a fluid but not sharp local peaks. That is why regularity is usually reduced to peak criteria.

The paper builds a decision scaffold that separates three things: inequality logic that is system agnostic, hinge assumptions that face Navier Stokes, and numerical diagnostics. Lean mechanizes a no Zeno engine, a capacity lemma and a discrete no go theorem.

It proposes a legality certificate based on anti localization. Smooth random seeds pass. Deliberately localized packets fail at once.

What it shows

  • Zeno cascades ruled out under work and capacity hypotheses.
  • A discrete no go: localized tests force pointwise gain bounds.
  • A reproducible legality certificate.

What it does not claim

No proof of Clay regularity, and no proof that the certificate is preserved by the flow.
