Summary of a claim published in openai/math; not a claim by this platform.
The displayed question has a negative answer under the manuscript's stated construction. Its counterexample meets the conditions in this problem and defeats the universal assertion, so this is a full disproof claim. The supporting result is manuscript 1 (family 028; 2026-09-26). The manuscript also gives additional strength beyond the requested conclusion; that excess is not required for this problem's solved-claim label.
Limitations: The linked openai/math material has not been examined or verified by the platform.

Walking to Infinity on Gaussian Primes
OpenAI's claim
OpenAI presents the following claims relevant to this question, with manuscript numbers following paper order in Sources. In manuscript 1 (family 028; 2026-09-26), the asserted result is that for each finite step bound, all connected Gaussian-prime components have a common finite size bound, ruling out infinite injective walks, including those meeting axis primes.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Manuscript 1.
For $D<\infty$, form $G_D$ on all Gaussian primes in $\mathbb Z[i]$, joining distinct vertices when their Euclidean distance is at most $D$. The claimed uniform bound is \[ \forall D<\infty\ \exists B_D<\infty\ \forall\text{ connected components }C\subseteq G_D:\quad |C|\le B_D. \] Axis primes are included. Consequently a sequence of distinct Gaussian primes with every successive distance at most $D$ has at most $B_D$ terms; the bound does not depend on its starting point.Outline of the argument
For manuscript 1 (family 028; 2026-09-26), geometric sampling of a hypothetical long walk produces many residue differences. Shared continuation data create an entropy budget incompatible with avoiding zero residues, yielding a finite periodic sieve barrier and hence the uniform component bound.Formal verification
For manuscript 1 (family 028; 2026-09-26), OpenAI lists Lean statements for this assertion: for each finite step bound, all connected Gaussian-prime components have a common finite size bound, ruling out infinite injective walks, including those meeting axis primes.The central assertion is within the documented formal scope; the additional applications retain their own scope limits.

Status caveat
The manuscripts were produced by an internal OpenAI model. OpenAI cautions that results without formalization can contain mistakes. This site has not independently checked the proofs; the label records the scope of OpenAI's claim.Sources
