contents <p>Andrew Wiles' 1995 proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, while celebrated as one of mathematics' greatest achievements, operates entirely within the real-complex analytic framework (ℝ/ℂ)—a structure we have previously demonstrated to be algebraically incomplete due to dimensional collapse in the Cantor-Dedekind construction of 1872.</p> <p>This paper demonstrates that Wiles' proof, far from establishing FLT in fundamental algebraic reality, merely demonstrates a contradiction within the projected shadow-world of ℝ/ℂ. His essential reliance on modular forms as holomorphic functions on ℂ, elliptic curves embedded in ℂ, p-adic completions, and topological methods all inherit the fundamental incompleteness of ℝ.</p> <p>We show that:<br>(1) The Frey curve construction assumes solutions live in ℚ when they require extensions W/ℚ<br>(2) Modularity is an analytic artifact of working in ℂ, not an algebraic necessity  <br>(3) A direct 10-page proof in the Rational Worlds framework renders Wiles' 150-page argument obsolete<br>(4) Wiles proved "no contradiction exists in ℝ/ℂ projection," not "FLT is true in algebraic reality"</p> <p>If the ontological framework is incorrect, the proof is false—regardless of technical correctness within that framework.
