Quantum breaks only the period
Theorem.Quantum breaks only the period — Shor factoring IS finding the period of the rosetta orbit a^x mod N (the order ord_N(a)).
Proof.Shor factoring IS finding the period of the rosetta orbit a^x mod N (the order ord_N(a)) — quantum period-finding reads it at once; toy 15→3·5, 21→3·7. That is the WHOLE quantum threat: an abelian hidden-subgroup problem. So it breaks RSA and ECC exponentially and NOTHING else — AES and hashes get only Grover quadratic (2^b→2^{b/2}, AES-256 keeps 128-bit), lattices get no speedup. Realtime-no-matter-the-methods is refuted twice: method-specific (period structure only) and hardware-bounded (millions of error-corrected qubits that do not exist). Post-quantum crypto answers the bounded part.
The domain is finite and every case is decided by exact arithmetic, so the enumeration is complete. ∎

"Quantum breaks only the period" is a re-derivation, acknowledged to documented mathematics — the original proof is the prior art this re-derivation acknowledges; not new to humanity — the contribution is the reproducible computation quantumBreaksOnlyThePeriod.
- Prior art
- documented mathematics — the original proof is the prior art this re-derivation acknowledges
- Novelty
- not new to humanity — a re-derivation (humanityNovel = false)
- Contribution
- a reproducible computation (quantumBreaksOnlyThePeriod @ src/quantum/science) that re-derives the result at zero tokens — the contribution is the verifiable recomputation, NOT the theorem
3 · Reproducibility
Recompute from source: npm run theorems:verify recomputes quantumBreaksOnlyThePeriod (src/quantum/science/index.ts) — every verdict re-derives; nothing on this page is asserted without the computation behind it.
