C9.1: Residue-class decorrelation lemma for consecutive Collatz (1,1) events

[Copilot]

Proves the residue-class decorrelation lemma closing Collatz D9: conditional probability Pr(v₂(3T(n)+1)=1 | v₂(3n+1)=1, n mod 2^M) stays within δ=1/2 of p₁₁=1/2 for all M≥2, uniformly over compatible residue classes.

Core result

The lemma reduces to a single arithmetic micro-lemma:

For odd n ≡ 3 (mod 4):  v₂(3T(n)+1) = 1  ⟺  n ≡ 7 (mod 8)

Proof chain: n = 4k+3 → T(n) = 6k+5 → 3T(n)+1 = 2(9k+8) → v₂=1 ↔ k odd ↔ n≡7 (mod 8)

Explicit constants: p₁₁ = 1/2, δ = 1/2 (tight), M₀ = 2. For M≥3, residue classes split exactly 50/50 between prob-0 and prob-1 classes; the bound δ=1/2<1 is tight and structural, not asymptotic.
