Euclidean record denominators ⟹ g₂ ≤ 6 (combinatorial, unconditional) #
Assembles the Euclidean route: with the Euclidean defect cost r q = deltaN(euclNorm 2) α q,
the
record denominators bestDenom r satisfy every hypothesis of euclidean_growth_five —
hattain from deltaN_euclNorm_attained, hdec/hbest from the record structure, hpos from
irrationality — so 2 q_k ≤ q_{k+5}. Feeding this K = 5 growth into Chevallier's count
(chevallier_gap_count_le) gives the Euclidean five-distance bound g₂ ≤ 6: at most six
distinct
values of the Euclidean nearest-neighbour distance gapVal (deltaE α) N q.
RecordsContinue (the irrationality input) is discharged exactly as for the sup norm, transferring
Dirichlet via deltaN(euclNorm 2) α q ≤ √2 · delta α q (the Euclidean norm is ≤ √2 · the sup norm
in the plane). The sharp g₂ ≤ 5 needs Romanov's K = 4; this is the K = 5 bound. Axiom-clean.
