Once σ ≥ 3, increasing the denominator of the exponent decreases the
power of a base at least one.
Explicit eventual lower bound 2 ≤ D^(1/σ(D)). The assumption 1 < d
is essential to this proof: log D / σ(D) then grows like a positive power of
log D divided by log log D.
The three moving geometric size premises share one explicit threshold.
All real inequalities genuinely supplied by the natural cubic bracket.
The casts are explicit, so this packet cannot be confused with a real-valued
choice of y or with ⌈D^(1/3)⌉₊.
One common eventual threshold supplies the source-σ geometry and all
valid consequences of a natural cubic cutoff.
Adversarial audit: the natural cubic bracket does not imply the exact
identity D^(1/3)=y demanded by the current raw Case-II theorem. The pair
D=2, y=2 is already a counterexample.
