""" Zero Paradox — ZP-I: Inside Zero PDF Builder Version 1.10 | May 2026 v1.10: Vocabulary fixes — "null state" → "⊥" in two body prose locations; version references "(v1.1)", "v2.0" removed from body prose. Palette rebuild. v1.9: Adversary-review pass — version changelog removed from PDF title block (moved to docstring only); "DA-1 fires, T-SNAP fires, and a new ⊥' is born" replaced with mathematical language: "DA-1 and T-SNAP apply, yielding a successor null ⊥'". v1.8: Lean scope updated — t_iz_h_bound_from_depth_chain and t_iz_complete_from_axioms added to Lean Scope section and traceability register. Optional transparency additions exposing pure ZP-A lattice hypotheses for reviewer auditability; primary narrative unchanged. v1.7: R-IZ-A formally closed — key result box and Remark R-IZ-A updated to reflect that strict valuation growth is Lean-derived from ZP-A R1 + T3 via the IsDepthChain modeling commitment (h_strict_from_r1_t3, ZPI.lean §Ib). R-IZ-A is no longer a bare construction-level assumption. v1.6: Key result box first bullet qualified with R-IZ-A. No mathematical content changed. v1.5: Section V "Complete Cycle" and Null Balance callout updated to carry R-IZ-A conditional caveat forward. Key result box updated to match. v1.4: Remark R-IZ-A added — valuation growth hypothesis v₂(S(n)) ≥ n acknowledged as a construction-level assumption. Title block corrected to v1.3. T-IZ hypothesis text updated. v1.3: Valuation-complexity bridge demoted to informational context. Formal spine is Steps 1+6. v1.2: t_iz_valuation_unbounded added — proved axiom-free. v1.1: Sorry-pending language cleared. v1.0: Initial release — Theorem T-IZ (Inside Zero).
