Fermat’s Last Theorem stops at numbers. Wiles proved no integers a, b, c satisfy aⁿ + bⁿ = cⁿ for n > 2. These matrices, however, built from the Pythagorean 3-4-5, satisfy the sixth-power version exactly. Both sides equal 25 times the identity matrix. Linear algebra quietly permits what pure arithmetic forbids.
