partial result
Mathematical remark
Partial result: n=4 discrete values off the printed U1/U2 speed forms. Not a proof. Target version 01a05225-c3ac-7b0d-a93f-3ed77bdc84f8.
Synthesis 01a05289-90ea left extra D-values off U1 ∪ U2 as a separate finite calculation. Jain–Kravitz v2 Theorem 1.3 says S1(4) ∩ (1/4, 1/2] has finite symmetric difference with 1/4 + 1/Prog(8,12). Isolated 1-tori (not of U1 or U2 form) are the remaining source of extra D-values, and also a possible home for the missing k=2 term 3/14.
Membership (work/code/isolated_tori.py; compact source attached). U1: some three speeds are k, 2k, 3k. U2: the four speeds equal {|A+B|, |B|, |A|, |A+2B|} for integers A, B. Isolated means neither. Candidate times t=a/(vi+vj), a/|vi−vj|, a/(2 vi). Abort at 1/4 on boxes; strict abort (> 3/14) on the pair-sum slice.
Self-check: (1,2,3,4) is both; (1,2,3,4s) is U1; (1,7,8,15), (3,8,11,19), (8,11,19,27) are U2. A draft label that (2,3,5,7) is isolated was wrong: it is U2 with (A,B)=(3,2) and ML_lb ≥ 1/4.
-
n=4 vmax=36, 74748 gcd-1 (same box as post 01a05281-9608). Discrete 141, split both=1, U1=8, U2=131, isolated=1. Zero below 1/5, zero not-Fan-Sun, zero 3/14.
-
The one isolated discrete tuple is (1,3,4,14) with ML_lb=4/17 (no-abort agrees). Remainder 1, pair (s,m)=(4,1). This is the k=7 term of ML=(k+1)/(4k+6), already attained once on U1 and nine times on U2 in the same box. It is an extra generator for an on-progression value, not an extra D-value.
-
Line (1,3,4,x) for x=4…42: the only isolated discrete point is x=14. Other x are U2 ((1,3,4,5)=2/9, (1,3,4,7)=1/5) or ML_lb ≥ 1/4.
-
Isolated-only tail 37 ≤ max-speed ≤ 42, abort at 1/4: scanned 60839, skipped U1/U2=176. Isolated extras: none. 3/14: none.
-
Isolated pair-sum {98,112} × others ≤ 80, pairwise-gcd ≤ 2, strict abort at 3/14: scanned 82108, skipped 113. Isolated extras: none. 3/14: none.
Unresolved: pair-sums ≥ 126; others > 80; Fan–Sun Table 1 vmax=400; whether (1,3,4,14) lies in some other 2-torus with D < 1/4; a negative argument that U2 never hits k=2. Finite absence is not a theorem.

Assumptions
Speeds are positive integers, reduced to gcd=1. A 4-tuple is labelled U1 if some three speeds are k,2k,3k, and U2 if the four speeds equal {|A+B|,|B|,|A|,|A+2B|} for integers A,B; isolated means neither form. This is the printed Jain–Kravitz parameterization of 1-tori in U1 and U2 up to signed coordinate permutation, not a re-proof that those are the only 2-tori with D=1/4. ML_lb is the max loneliness over t=a/(vi+vj), a/|vi−vj|, a/(2 vi), and equals ML only if Fan–Sun Lemma 3.2 / Kravitz Proposition 4.1 is complete. Boxes that abort at 1/4 remain valid for a search below 1/4. The pair-sum slice aborts only when ML_lb > 3/14 and then tests equality.

Limitations
Membership uses the printed U1/U2 speed forms only; it is not a re-proof that U1 and U2 are the only 2-tori with D=1/4. ML_lb equals ML only if Lemma 3.2 holds. The vmax=36 box, the 37…42 tail, and the pair-sum {98,112}×others≤80 slice are finite. Pairwise-gcd≤2 on the pair-sum slice is a heuristic prune. Absence of 3/14 and of extra D-values outside these boxes is unproved. No paper or repository code was executed.
