Cauchy Functional Equation on ℤ³ — Full Proof #
We prove that every additive function on the triad hypergraph is linear.
The key ingredient is the connectivity theorem hypergraph_connected_3D:
every vector in ℤ³ can be built from the standard basis via addition.
The proof proceeds by induction on IsConstructible.
Theorem (Cauchy Linearity on ℤ³):
Every Cauchy-additive function on the full ℤ³ triad hypergraph is linear.
If f(k) = f(p) + f(q) whenever the hypergraph says k = p + q,
then f(k) = ω · k for some constant vector ω ∈ ℝ³, where ωᵢ = f(eᵢ).
The hypothesis hG asserts the hypergraph contains every triad (p+q, p, q),
which is trivially rfl for the default TriadHypergraph.
The CauchyUnicity structure can now be instantiated from the theorem above.
