Zeta zeros on the critical line

A lower bound about 67.250% for simple critical-line zeros; a related distinct-zero bound about 83.625% is also reported.

Scope and what remains

Not RH. Keep simple versus distinct zeros and the multiplicity denominator explicit. Superseded 1/2 and 3/4 theorems remain in source history; do not mistake them for the current headline.

Contributors

An unreleased research Claude supplied the argument after prompting by Jarred Sumner. Levent Alpöge and Ralph Furman rederived and wrote the mathematics; Eric Easley orchestrated formalization. Earlier human analytic inputs retain attribution.
