Algebraic quadratic lower-bound core #
The classical quadratic lower bound is developed here without importing it as an assumption. The key certificate is a two-bit linear coloring of the rank-at-most-two Hankel graph. Every nonzero word in the explicit rank-two table has nonzero color, so a family with pairwise rank-two differences has at most four members. This replaces a search over quadratic circuits by a small linear-algebra certificate.
The two-bit certificate (c₀+c₂+c₅, c₁+c₃+c₆).

- UnrestrictedBooleanMul.N4.instDecidableTripleWedgeZero u v x = { decide := decide (∀ a ∈ Finset.univ, UnrestrictedBooleanMul.N4.tripleWedge u v x a = 0 a), reflects_decide := ⋯ }
If u ∧ v is nonzero and x ∧ u ∧ v = 0, then x lies in the plane
spanned by u,v. The proof chooses a nonzero 2 × 2 minor and solves the
resulting two equations, so it works symbolically rather than by enumeration.
The mixed input matrix is a single outer product.

Eight decomposable alternating forms cannot span the seven-dimensional Hankel target. The proof splits by whether their span has dimension seven or eight. In codimension one, at most three forms lie in the target and at most four lie outside it; the latter bound is the two-bit Hankel coloring.
