Exact unrestricted Boolean multiplicative complexity for four-term products #

The structural contradiction rules out eight gates. Together with the algebraic seven-gate obstruction and the explicit nine-gate construction, this closes the n = 4 theorem.

The normalized eight-gate state is inconsistent: gate six is useful by the flag ledger and non-useful by first-jet saturation.

There is no unrestricted eight-AND circuit for four-term Boolean multiplication.

Every unrestricted circuit for Mul 4 has at least nine AND gates.

The unrestricted Boolean multiplicative complexity of four-term multiplication is exactly nine.
