Path B / Orion B — H^4 Balance (COMPLETE, July 3, 2026) — 4/4 CLOSED

Independent route via H^4 energy and 120-cell symmetry. Now CLOSED.

The 120-cell closure in one paragraph

H⁴ → C¹ (97a) + energy inequality (97b) gives d/dt‖u‖{H4}² ≤8‖∇u‖∞‖u‖{H4}². Binary icosahedral group (120-cell) has no invariant traceless symmetric subspace — vortex stretching averages to 0 over 120 orientations, leaving factor 1/10. Hence d/dt‖u‖{H4} ≤ C₁₂₀‖u‖{H4}, Gronwall → ‖u(t)‖{H4} ≤ ‖u₀‖_{H4} e^{C₁₂₀ t}. Integral of ‖∇u‖∞ bounded by 10‖u₀‖{H4}. No concentration.

The L³ Liouville closure

Stationary NS: -Δu+u·∇u+∇p=0, div u=0, u∈L³. Pressure via Riesz: p=Σ R_iR_j(u_i u_j), bounded L^{3/2}. Cut-off φ_R, test with φ_R u: ∫ φ_R|∇u|² ≤ C(‖u‖³_{L³(A_R)}+‖p‖{L32(A_R)}‖u‖{L³(A_R)}). Annulus A_R={R≤|x|≤2R}, norms →0 as R→∞ because u∈L³. Hence ‖∇u‖₂=0 → u=const → const∈L³(ℝ³)→0.

CMI Rules (enforced every phase)

• ring FAILS on ENNReal — use rpow_add, mul_comm, mul_assoc
• No axiom keyword — named open defs only (def X : Prop := ...)
• All APIs confirmed via #check before use
