"The binary operator eml is defined by the expression \(\text{eml}(a, b) = \exp(a) - \ln(b)\). There exists a finite binary tree consisting solely of eml operations, whose 9 leaves are drawn from \(\{1, x, y\}\), such that the tree evaluates exactly to \(x \times y\). The tree has K = 17 tokens (8 eml operations and 9 leaves), and the identity holds for all complex \(x\) and \(y\) (in the algebraic setting where \(\ln \circ \exp\) is the identity)."
Eight operations. Nine leaves. Multiplication emerges from an operator that knows only exponentials and logarithms.
What Was Claimed?
The binary operator eml is defined by the expression eml(a, b) = exp(a) - ln(b). There exists a finite binary tree consisting solely of eml operations, whose 9 leaves are drawn from the set {1, x, y}, such that the tree evaluates exactly to x times y. The tree has K = 17 tokens (8 eml operations and 9 leaves), and the identity holds for all complex x and y in the algebraic setting where ln composed with exp is the identity.
This is a remarkable claim. Multiplication is one of the most fundamental arithmetic operations, yet expressing it through an operator that combines exponentials and logarithms seems to require threading values through layers of explosive growth and slow compression. The claim says this can be done with only 17 tokens -- two fewer than the 19 needed for addition.
What Did We Find?
The proof exhibits the explicit 17-token expression and verifies it layer by layer.
The construction rests on a single algebraic insight: x times y equals exp(ln(x) + ln(y)). The challenge is computing ln(x) + ln(y) using eml. Here the operator reveals a surprising shortcut. The expression eml(1, x) directly produces e minus ln(x) -- the exact "e minus logarithm" form that the addition tree needed two steps to reach. This head start, combined with using y as a bare leaf in the subtraction step (which contributes minus ln(y) instead of minus y), makes multiplication two tokens shorter than addition.
The chain unfolds in eight layers. The first step gives e minus ln(x). The next three apply the triple-nesting identity to produce ln(e minus ln(x)). The fifth step combines this with y to get e minus ln(xy) -- exploiting the logarithmic identity ln(x) + ln(y) = ln(xy). Two more steps unwrap this to recover ln(xy). The final step exponentiates: exp(ln(xy)) equals xy.
Every one of the eight layers was evaluated symbolically by SymPy, which confirmed that five critical algebraic cancellation points produce exact zero residuals. The final expression minus x times y simplifies to exactly zero. As an independent cross-check, the chain was evaluated numerically at eighteen test points -- twelve with real values (including negative inputs and values within one trillionth of a singularity) and six with complex values -- all matching x times y to within machine epsilon.
An embedded exhaustive search of all eml binary trees through K equals 15 (nearly two million distinct expressions, completed in about two and a half seconds) found nothing that computes multiplication, confirming that no shorter expression exists.
What Should You Keep In Mind?
Unlike the addition tree, the multiplication expression cannot handle zero. When x or y is zero, the very first step requires the logarithm of zero, which is undefined, and the expression diverges. Multiplication by zero is well-defined in arithmetic, but the eml tree cannot represent it. This is a genuine limitation, not a removable singularity.
There is one removable singularity: at x equals e raised to the e power (approximately 15.154), an intermediate value hits zero. SymPy confirmed that the limit from both sides equals the correct product, and numerical tests extremely close to this point converge properly.
For negative real inputs, the intermediate computations pass through complex numbers -- logarithms of negative reals introduce imaginary parts of plus or minus pi times i. As with the addition tree, these imaginary terms cancel exactly, always returning the correct real product. This was verified numerically for several negative-input pairs.
On the principal branch of the complex logarithm, the identity holds for all nonzero x and y. The branch-cut analysis is actually more favorable than for the addition tree: the imaginary part of the critical intermediate is always bounded by pi, so no restriction on the inputs is needed beyond excluding zero.
How Was This Verified?
This claim was verified using the proof-engine framework, which requires every step to be executed by code rather than asserted by the AI. The symbolic derivation was performed by SymPy and independently cross-checked with numerical evaluation at eighteen points, including negative and complex inputs. An embedded exhaustive search provides a reproducible minimality check. The result being verified was originally established in A. Odrzywołek, "All elementary functions from a single binary operator" (arXiv:2603.21852, 2026); this proof was developed independently using different methods. For the full formal breakdown, see the structured proof report. For verification details including computation traces and adversarial checks, see the full verification audit. To reproduce the proof yourself, re-run the proof script.
What could challenge this verdict?
Negative real inputs: When x or y is negative, the intermediate logarithms produce complex values with imaginary parts of +/-pi*i. These imaginary components cancel exactly across the chain, always returning a real result equal to x * y. Numerical tests at (-2, 3) and (-3, -5) confirm |diff| < 8e-15.
Singularities: The expression is undefined at x = 0, y = 0 (where ln diverges), and at x = e^e (where an intermediate hits zero). The singularity at x = e^e is removable — SymPy confirms the limit equals e^e * y from both sides. The singularities at x = 0 and y = 0 are not removable; these are genuine limitations where the eml tree cannot represent the value x * y = 0.
Complex branch cuts: On the principal branch, the critical cancellation ln(exp(z)) = z requires |Im(z)| < pi. For the expression's final cancellation, z = e - ln(xy), and Im(z) = -arg(xy) which is always in [-pi, pi). The identity therefore holds on the principal branch for all nonzero x, y (except x = e^e). In the formal algebraic framework, it holds without restriction.
Minimality of K = 17: An exhaustive search through K = 15 (1.98M distinct values, ~2.5 seconds) found no expression evaluating to x * y. K = 17 is the shortest known code length for multiplication.
Numerical overflow: The largest intermediate values occur at M3 and M6, bounded by the log-exp cancellation at M4 and M7. The symbolic proof is independent of floating-point arithmetic.

Proof Logic
The binary operator eml(a, b) = exp(a) - ln(b) is a single operation that, through nesting, can express all elementary functions. The claim is that the specific 17-token expression
eml(eml(1, eml(eml(eml(1, eml(eml(1, eml(1, x)), 1)), y), 1)), 1)
evaluates to x * y for all nonzero complex x and y.
The proof first verifies this expression contains exactly 8 eml operations and 9 leaves (from {1, x, y}), confirming K = 17 (A1).
The expression is unwound layer by layer through 8 intermediate sub-expressions. The algebraic strategy exploits a key insight: multiplication can be expressed as x * y = exp(ln(x) + ln(y)), and the eml operator provides a shortcut to the "e minus logarithm" form through eml(1, x) = e - ln(x). This saves steps compared to the K=19 addition tree, which needed two operations to reach e - x.
At each layer, SymPy's symbolic algebra engine evaluates the eml operation and simplifies. Five critical algebraic cancellation points are verified with exact zero residuals (A2):
- M1 = e - ln(x): The innermost eml(1, x) directly produces e - ln(x), the starting point for the chain.
- M3 = exp(e)/(e - ln(x)): The triple-nesting pattern (steps 1-4) produces exp(e)/(e - ln(x)), leading to M4 = ln(e - ln(x)).
- M5 = e - ln(xy): Using eml(M4, y) = exp(ln(e - ln(x))) - ln(y) = (e - ln(x)) - ln(y) = e - ln(xy). Here y serves as a bare leaf, contributing -ln(y) directly — a variant of the subtraction identity that saves a step.
- M7 = ln(xy): The unwrap pattern (steps 6-7) converts e - ln(xy) into ln(xy).
- M8 = x * y: The final step exp(ln(xy)) = xy completes the multiplication.
SymPy confirms that simplify(M8 - x*y) = 0 exactly (A3).
The expression has a removable singularity at x = e^e (approximately 15.154), where M1 = e - ln(e^e) = 0 causes a division by zero in the next step. SymPy confirms that the limit from both sides equals e^e * y (A4). The expression is genuinely undefined at x = 0 and y = 0, where ln(0) diverges; these are not removable singularities.
As an independent cross-check, the full 8-layer chain was evaluated numerically at 18 test points. Twelve real-valued (x, y) pairs — including negative inputs, near-singularity values (x within 1e-12 of e^e), and extreme ratios — all agreed with x * y within machine epsilon, with the largest discrepancy being 9.38e-15 (A5). Six complex-valued pairs (including purely imaginary and both-negative inputs) likewise agreed, with maximum discrepancy 6.47e-15 (A6).
An exhaustive bottom-up search enumerated all distinct eml binary trees with leaves {1, x, y} through K = 15, totaling 1,980,526 distinct values. No expression at any K <= 15 evaluates to x * y (A7), confirming no shorter tree exists.
Conclusion
Verdict: PROVED. The 17-token expression eml(eml(1, eml(eml(eml(1, eml(eml(1, eml(1, x)), 1)), y), 1)), 1) evaluates to x * y. This was verified symbolically by SymPy (exact zero residual) and numerically at 18 test points (12 real including negatives, 6 complex; maximum discrepancy 9.38e-15). The limit at the removable singularity x = e^e was verified to equal e^e * y from both sides. The expression uses exactly 8 eml operations and 9 leaves, confirming K = 17. An exhaustive search through K = 15 found no shorter expression for multiplication.

| Operator Note | The claim asserts that a specific K=17 binary tree of eml operations evaluates to x * y. K denotes the total number of tree nodes (8 internal eml nodes + 9 leaves = 17). The claim text says 'depth 17'; following the convention in arXiv:2603.21852, this denotes the RPN code length (total tree nodes), not the tree height. The actual tree height is 8. Working inside out through 8 layers: (1) M1 = eml(1, x) = e - ln(x). (2) M2 = eml(1, M1) = e - ln(e - ln(x)). (3) M3 = eml(M2, 1) = exp(e)/(e - ln(x)). (4) M4 = eml(1, M3) = ln(e - ln(x)). Steps 1-4 apply the triple-nesting identity to (e - ln(x)), yielding ln(e - ln(x)). The key observation is that eml(1, x) = e - ln(x) directly provides the 'e minus logarithm' form, saving one step compared to the K=19 addition tree where two steps were needed (eml(x,1) then eml(1,_)) to get e - x. (5) M5 = eml(M4, y) = exp(ln(e - ln(x))) - ln(y) = (e - ln(x)) - ln(y) = e - ln(x) - ln(y) = e - ln(xy). This uses a variant of the subtraction identity: eml(ln(a), y) = a - ln(y) where y is used as a bare leaf, not wrapped in exp(). This saves another step compared to the addition tree. (6) M6 = eml(M5, 1) = exp(e - ln(xy)) = exp(e)/(xy). (7) M7 = eml(1, M6) = e - ln(exp(e)/(xy)) = e - (e - ln(xy)) = ln(xy). (8) M8 = eml(M7, 1) = exp(ln(xy)) = xy. The expression is undefined at x = 0 (ln(0) in M1), y = 0 (ln(0) in M5), and x = e^e (where e - ln(x) = 0 causes ln(0) in M2). The singularity at x = e^e is removable: the limit from both sides equals e^e * y, verified by SymPy. For complex x, y: the identity holds as a formal algebraic identity where ln(exp(z)) = z (i.e., on the Riemann surface of log). On the principal branch, it holds for all x, y with x != 0, y != 0. |

The claim defines eml(a, b) = exp(a) - ln(b) and asserts that a specific binary tree of 8 eml operations and 9 leaves (drawn from {1, x, y}) evaluates to x * y. The total token count K = 8 + 9 = 17. The claim text says "depth 17"; following the convention in arXiv:2603.21852, this denotes the RPN code length (total tree nodes), not the tree height. The actual tree height is 8.
The formal interpretation uses exact equality (==) with threshold True. The operator_note documents the full inside-out derivation through 8 layers, identifying the algebraic strategy: x * y = exp(ln(x) + ln(y)), achieved through the chain eml(1,x) = e - ln(x) → triple-nesting → subtraction of ln(y) → unwrap → final exp.
The key insight is that eml(1, x) = e - ln(x) directly provides the "e minus logarithm" form that the K=19 addition tree needed two steps to reach (eml(x,1) then eml(1,_) to get e - x). This, combined with using y as a bare leaf in the subtraction step (yielding -ln(y) instead of -y), makes the multiplication tree 2 nodes shorter than the addition tree.
The expression is undefined at x = 0 (ln(0) in M1), y = 0 (ln(0) in M5), and x = e^e (where e - ln(x) = 0). The singularity at x = e^e is removable — the limit from both sides equals e^e * y, verified by SymPy. The singularities at x = 0 and y = 0 are not removable (the expression diverges).
For the complex domain, the identity is interpreted as a formal algebraic identity where ln(exp(z)) = z. On the principal branch of the complex logarithm, the identity holds for all nonzero x, y (except x = e^e). The branch-cut analysis is more favorable than for K=19 addition: since Im(e - ln(xy)) = -arg(xy) and arg is always in (-pi, pi], the principal-branch condition |Im(z)| < pi is automatically satisfied.
Formalization scope: The formal interpretation is a faithful mapping of the natural-language claim. The token count K = 17 is explicitly verified. The "for all complex x and y" clause is interpreted in the formal algebraic setting, with the domain restrictions (x != 0, y != 0, x != e^e) documented. The expression was constructed analytically using algebraic identities from the previously verified eml proofs (triple-nesting, subtraction) and verified independently. The construction was performed without reference to the original paper's proof.
Attribution: This result was originally established in A. Odrzywołek, "All elementary functions from a single binary operator," arXiv:2603.21852 (2026). The proof presented here provides independent computational verification using symbolic algebra (SymPy), numerical methods, and exhaustive search, and was developed without reference to the original proof.

Check 1: Does the identity hold for negative real x and y?
- Question: Does the identity hold for negative real x and y?
- Verification performed: For negative real x (e.g., x = -2), ln(x) = ln|x| + pii. Then M1 = e - ln|x| - pii (complex intermediate). Tracing through the chain: the imaginary components from ln(negative) at steps M1 and M5 interact through exp and log operations. The +-pii terms cancel exactly across the chain, returning a real result. Numerical tests confirm: (-2)3 gives |diff| < 5e-15, (-3)*(-5) gives |diff| < 8e-15.
- Finding: The identity holds for all real nonzero x and y, including negatives. Intermediate complex values with +-pi*i cancel exactly.
- Breaks proof: No
Check 2: What singularities does the expression have?
- Question: What singularities does the expression have, and are they removable?
- Verification performed: Three singularity classes: (1) x = 0: M1 = eml(1, 0) = e - ln(0) is undefined. The limit as x -> 0 diverges (M1 -> +infinity), so this is NOT removable. However, x*y = 0 at x = 0, and multiplication by zero is well-defined, so this is a genuine limitation of the eml expression. (2) y = 0: M5 = eml(M4, 0) = exp(M4) - ln(0) is undefined. Same analysis: not removable. (3) x = e^e (approx 15.154): M1 = e - ln(e^e) = 0, and M2 = eml(1, 0) involves ln(0). SymPy limit confirms: lim_{x->e^e} M8 = e^e * y from both sides. This IS a removable singularity, analogous to x = e in the K=19 addition tree. Numerical tests within 1e-12 of e^e confirm convergence.
- Finding: x = 0 and y = 0 are genuine singularities (not removable). x = e^e is a removable singularity. The identity holds for all real x not in {0, e^e} and y != 0.
- Breaks proof: No
Check 3: Complex branch cut analysis
- Question: Does the identity hold for arbitrary complex x, y on the principal branch of log?
- Verification performed: The critical cancellation is M7 = e - ln(exp(e - ln(xy))). On the principal branch, ln(exp(z)) = z when |Im(z)| < pi. Here z = e - ln(xy) = (e - ln|xy|) - iarg(xy). Since arg(xy) is in (-pi, pi], we have |Im(z)| <= pi, and the cancellation holds for all nonzero x, y. The earlier cancellation exp(ln(e-ln(x))) at M5 requires e-ln(x) != 0, which fails only at x = e^e. Numerical tests at 6 complex points (including (-1)(-1)=1, purely imaginary inputs) all agree within 1e-15. In the formal algebraic framework, ln(exp(z)) = z is an axiom and the identity holds for all nonzero complex x, y.
- Finding: On the principal branch: holds for all nonzero x, y (except x = e^e). As a formal algebraic identity: holds for all nonzero complex x, y.
- Breaks proof: No
Check 4: Minimality of K = 17
- Question: Is K = 17 the minimum code length for multiplication?
- Verification performed: An embedded exhaustive search (A7) enumerated all distinct eml trees through K=15 and found no expression evaluating to xy. The search space at K=15 contains approximately 2 million distinct values. No expression at K <= 15 computes xy. Note: the search covers K=1 through K=15 (all odd K); K=17 is the next possible level. Whether K=17 is strictly minimal (i.e., no other K=17 tree also computes x*y) is not determined, but the search confirms no shorter tree exists.
- Finding: Exhaustive search through K=15 found no eml tree computing x*y. K=17 is the shortest known code length for multiplication.
- Breaks proof: No
Check 5: Numerical overflow risk
- Question: Could numerical overflow cause false agreement?
- Verification performed: The largest intermediate value is M6 = exp(e - ln(xy)). For |xy| << 1 (e.g., x=0.001, y=0.001), M6 = exp(e+6.9) which is large but finite (~15000). For |xy| >> 1, M6 = exp(e - ln(xy)) becomes small. The symbolic proof does not depend on floating-point. The log-exp cancellation at M7 (= ln(xy)) bounds intermediate values. Numerical tests at extremes (x=100/y=0.01, x=-100/y=0.5) confirm |diff| < 1e-14.
- Finding: No overflow risk for representable floats. The proof rests on exact symbolic algebra.
