contents <p>This paper presents an elegant parity separation method to decompose odd zeta values ζ(2m+1) into an explicit rational combination of a new odd-index series S_m and a transcendental term involving π^(2m)/(2m+1). The decomposition is proved to be optimal, with the denominator 2m+1 forced by a deep divisibility property of even zeta values. The paper also establishes that S_m and ζ(2m+1) cannot both be rational, offering a fresh reduction of the irrationality problem for odd zeta values.</p>
