+  AngrySphinx.lean — Proof-of-Defense Primitive: Energy → Exponential Cost
+
+  Ported from Research Stack `Semantics.AngrySphinx.lean`.
+
+  Core theorem: E_attack = n ⟹ E_solve ≥ 2^n
+
+  The attacker's energy is exponentially transformed into solve-domain cost.
+  At maximum attack pressure the frustration metric F → 0, causing division
+  by F to return `none` (NaN boundary) — the attack self-destructs.
+
+  "You bring a knife, I bring two guns. You bring a machine gun, I bring a tank.
+   You throw a universe at me, I make you emulate two."
+
+  Components:
+  - Frustration metric: F(p) = 1/(p+1), decreases under attack pressure
+  - S³ shell lattice: each shell = one doubling (gear ratio 2)
+  - Gear product: ∏g_k = 2^depth
+  - NaN boundary: F = 0 singularity (solveDenominator returns none)
+  - Proof-of-Defense accumulator: attack work → validity certificate
+
+  Connection to the photonic Sidon search:
+  - Each search iteration = one attack pressure unit
+  - Shell depth = number of failed candidates
+  - Solve energy = N × 2^depth (cost of next candidate)
+  - NaN boundary = search termination (frustration = 0)
+  - The search is a CLOSED SYSTEM: it cannot run forever because
+    exponential cost outpaces any linear density gain.
+
+  Connection to the OpenAI unit-distance result:
+  - The infinite number field tower ↔ infinite shell depth
+  - Root discriminant bounded ↔ gear ratio keeps system closed
+  - Class number h(K) ≤ H^f ↔ solve energy E_solve ≥ 2^depth
+  - δ = γ/(4B) > 0 ↔ the density gain per shell layer
+  - The NaN boundary prevents the tower from being truly infinite —
+    each layer costs exponentially more, and at F=0 the equation
+    refuses to compute.

+The system is CLOSED: the NaN boundary guarantees termination.

+approaches zero, and at F=0 the system refuses to compute.
+
+This is the formal content of "you throw a universe, I make you emulate two":

+  CollatzBraid.lean — Collatz as a Braidtree with Affine Transforms
+
+  Formalizes the Collatz conjecture's trajectory structure as a braidtree:
+  - Each integer is a braid state
+  - Even step (n ↦ n/2) is generator σ_E
+  - Odd step (n ↦ 3n+1) is generator σ_O
+  - Each path is a braid word in {σ_E, σ_O}*
+  - Trajectory merging = strand fusion (braid crossing)
+  - Basin convergence = strands braiding into a common trunk
+
+  The affine maps form a semigroup under matrix multiplication:
+    A_E = [[1/2, 0], [0, 1]]  (even step: x ↦ x/2)
+    A_O = [[3, 1], [0, 1]]    (odd step: x ↦ 3x+1)
+
+  Composition of Collatz steps = matrix multiplication = braid composition.
+
+  Connection to AngrySphinx:
+  - Each Collatz step = 1 shell depth increase
+  - Solve energy = 2^depth (exponential cost per step)
+  - NaN boundary = search termination when frustration → 0
+  - The Collatz conjecture ("all trajectories reach 1") becomes:
+    "all braid words reduce to the identity under the basin convergence rule"
+
+  Connection to the photonic Sidon search:
+  - Each braid word = a candidate in the search space
+  - The affine transform = the state evolution
+  - Basin convergence = the search finding a solution
+  - AngrySphinx = the energy budget that makes the search closed
+
+  Connection to the OpenAI unit-distance result:
+  - The infinite number field tower = an infinite braid word
+  - Each tower layer = one Collatz step (affine transform)
+  - Root discriminant bounded = gear ratio keeps system closed
+  - The NaN boundary prevents the tower from being truly infinite
+
+  This module does NOT prove the Collatz conjecture. It provides the
+  algebraic framework (braid words + affine semigroup + basin convergence)
+  in which the conjecture can be stated as a braid reduction problem.
