Exact Fourier circuits below every fixed multiple of n log n #
OpenAI's result supplies arbitrarily large transform sizes with exact scalar
circuits of size below c * n * log₂ n, for each positive c. Its equivalent
minimum-size statement is a liminf of zero. The conclusion is about a cofinal
set of sizes; it does not assert a uniform bound at every sufficiently large size.
The source charges each addition, subtraction, and multiplication by an arbitrary
complex scalar. The CSLib translation preserves those operations and adds one
zero gate. Its coefficients are unrestricted; this is not a bounded-coefficient
or bit-complexity model. Source and provenance are recorded in docs/OpenAIMath.md.
The additional lower-bound corollaries use complexitylib's existing DFT results. They place the imported circuits and the library's lower bounds in one model, without a claim of new mathematical priority.
The literal minimum scalar gate count, normalized by n * log₂ n, has liminf zero.
The same cofinal improvement holds for ordinary CSLib gate count.
The imported upper bounds coexist with the library's linear lower bound in one model.
No positive n * log₂ n lower bound holds eventually for unrestricted scalar circuits.
