Forced three-dimensional Navier–Stokes singularity

OpenAI reports examples for every ν>0 in R³ and on the three-torus, under its specified forcing and initial-data conditions.

Scope and what remains

The force, decay, energy, domain and regularity assumptions are part of the question. This does not establish blowup for the unforced Navier–Stokes initial-value problem or prize acceptance.
