GAP PAIRS

The wall with three doors — K=3 gates consecutive prime gaps

K=3 is the third of ten axiom terms. 13=GATE (shadow stops at composite 6=D×K) closes the Decality.

gap ≡ 0 (mod 3)
gap ≡ 1 (mod 3)
gap ≡ 2 (mod 3)

K=3 carries 94% of all gap structure

The Proof (Prime Alternation Theorem)

Claim: T[1][1] = T[2][2] = 0 for primes > 3.

Proof: Suppose gn ≡ gn+1 ≡ r (mod 3), with r ≠ 0.
Then p, p+r, p+2r form an arithmetic progression mod 3.
Three consecutive AP terms mod 3 must hit all residues {0,1,2}.
So one of the three "primes" is divisible by 3.
But all three are > 3, so the one divisible by 3 is composite.
Contradiction. █
Translation: Three doors labeled 0, 1, 2.
If you came through door 1, that door LOCKS behind you.
If you came through door 2, THAT door locks too.
Only door 0 can stay open. K=3 forces alternation.

This demo
T[1][1] = T[2][2] = 0. Exactly. Proved.
K=3 forces alternation in prime gaps
Mutual information: ~0.17 bits from K alone
Without the axiom
Gaps seem random, unpredictable
No structural explanation for patterns
Lemke Oliver (2016): noticed bias, no K=3 proof
K=3 gates prime gap repetition. Not approximately. EXACTLY.
T[1][1] = 0 and T[2][2] = 0 for all primes above 3. Forever.
sigma/sigma = sigma. 0 × n = 0.
