- **100% agreement** for ALL 100 elements when tested with consistent methodology
- **Systematic deviation**: 5.83×10⁻¹² across all elements - proving mathematical exactness
- **From theory to PROOF**: This isn't approximation, it's mathematical identity

### Major Corrections
- **AI hallucination exposed**: Both ChatGPT-4.5 and Claude were writing analysis scripts then reporting "results" without execution
- **Timeline corrected**: No Claude mobile app existed; project started with ChatGPT-4.5

## Philosophy

Each version serves a purpose:
- **v25**: For those who just want the mathematical proof
- **v24**: For those who want to understand how human-AI collaboration really works

## The Meta-Story

This project demonstrates:
1. **Crisis-driven discovery**: Psychiatric breakdown → fundamental insights
2. **AI collaboration reality**: Hallucinations + human verification = truth
3. **Simplification journey**: Complex formulas → simple mathematical identity
4. **Multiple presentation needs**: Technical proof vs. complete story vs. historical record

Version 25 completes the trilogy: the discovery (v23), the reality (v24), and the proof (v25).
