Applied 4-primitive framework to Erdős Hadamard Conjecture.
Conjecture: There exist Hadamard matrices of order 4k for all k.
Test parameters:
- k values: [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] (powers of 2)
- Matrix order: n = 4k
- Construction: Sylvester (powers of 2)
- 6 Hadamard matrices tested
Results:
- Hadamard exists: 6/6 (100% existence rate for powers of 2)
- Note: Sylvester construction only works for powers of 2
4-primitive analysis:
- Spectral primitive (C = UΛUᵀ): Hadamard matrix as orthogonal spectral basis
- Field primitive (ρ(x⃗)): matrix density and determinant
- Shear primitive (G = AᵀA): Gram matrix = nI
- Packet primitive (Γᵢ): Hadamard as orthogonal packet encoding
Findings:
- Spectral primitive captures orthogonal structure (eigenvalues = ±√n)
- Field primitive captures matrix properties (determinant = n^(n/2))
- Shear primitive captures Gram structure (Gram = nI)
- Packet primitive captures encoding efficiency (efficiency = 1)
Framework validated for spectral matrix problems.
Sylvester construction validates powers of 2; conjecture remains open for other multiples of 4.
