All four rank-four sequences satisfy the sharp first-difference law

\[ v_2(C_j(n+H)-C_j(n))=v_2(H)+b_j, \qquad b=(1,1,4,2). \]

For the actual Euler coefficients this becomes

\[ v_2(E_{4(n+H)}^{(4,j)}-E_{4n}^{(4,j)})=v_2(H)+B_j, \qquad B=(1,1,5,3). \]

Both laws hold at every starting row and every positive integer step.

Reading the figure

Four lines have slope one, with original Euler scale offsets one, one, five and three for addresses zero through three. Addresses zero and one overlap. Points at step valuations zero through six illustrate the exact arithmetic. The line law is universal; these displayed points are finite illustrations.

Original figure caption

The proved Euler metric laws, with exact modular sample points at base zero and steps \(H=2^s\). Addresses zero and one have the same scale; their circle and square marks overlap.

In dyadic distance, \(|x|_2=2^{-v_2(x)}\). After continuous interpolation to \(\mathbb Z_2\), the law reads

\[ |E^{(4,j)}(x)-E^{(4,j)}(y)|_2 =2^{-B_j}|x-y|_2. \]

It says exactly how much the map shrinks distances. It also prevents any hidden collision at finer precision: distinct inputs remain distinct after the known scale is removed.

The scale of address two is \(2^{-5}\) in the original normalization and \(2^{-4}\) in the normalized sequence. Omitting its factor \(2!\) would change the period claimed for the original coefficients.

Source and conversion record

The full edition has 23 sections and 20 figures, including eight worked examples. The older visual README describes 15 sections and 12 figures. Original wording, equations and finite-check scope are retained. Descriptions and data tables are reading aids. This conversion renders existing figure PDFs without rebuilding TeX, running the mathematical generators, auditing proofs or compiling Lean.
