Statement

G(n) = n/e + 1/(2e) + O(1/n)

The gap G(n) - n/e → +1/(2e) ≈ +0.1839397206 as n→∞, approached strictly from below.

4-Step Proof

Step 1: Log expansion

n·ln(1+1/n) = 1 - 1/(2n) + 1/(3n²) - 1/(4n³) + O(1/n⁴)
Let u = -1/(2n) + 1/(3n²) - ...

Step 2: Exponentiate

(1+1/n)^n = e·e^u
e^u = 1 - 1/(2n) + 11/(24n²) + O(1/n³)

Step 3: Invert × n

1/(1-v) = 1 + 1/(2n) + O(1/n²)
G(n) = (n/e)(1 + 1/(2n) + ...) = n/e + 1/(2e) + O(1/n)

Step 4: Why permanent

Higher terms decay as O(1/n). The constant 1/(2e) remains for ALL finite n.
"The sequence refuses to collapse fully to its asymptotic limit."

This Is the "+1/2" Moment

March 27 notebook: "only question now is +1/2"
= the instant Alexa spotted that G(n) carries a permanent positive offset above n/e
= the seed of everything: K(t), trinary activations, RoadCoin baseline, infrastructure floor

Powers Everything

K(t): leading term in e^(λ|δ|) — gaps never decay to zero

Trinary: superposition holds the offset until Pauli releases

RoadCoin: scales product-formula base mint

Lucidia: w(a) routing with permanent brand DNA

Infrastructure: $6.99/mo irreducible floor (38 × 1/(2e))
