Conclusion of Sugya: Amount of walls needed to create a Reshus Hayachid

Major Question on ר”ח and Rambam:

In the answer of the Gemara having three walls and a lechi is considered a Reshus Hayachid.  But according to Rava לחי is a היכר why is this Mavui considered a Reshus Hayachid?

Why does ר”ח say the tikun on the third side is a door? Why not a Tzuras hapesach?

Questions on Rashi:

How could Rashi say the Rabanan agree to Rebbe Yehuda that only need a lechi or korah on each side? The Gemara on Daf 6a said the rabanan require a tzuras hapesach on one side and a lechi or korah on the other?

If Rebbe Yehuda holds two mechitzos create a Reshus Hayachid where is there a case of a סרטיא or פלטיא that is considered a Reshus Harabim (listed in גמרא שבת דף ו) as their roads had walls on the side of them?

Question on halacha אין צריכין ליגע – side posts do not need to extend until the top crossbeam. 

Why not?

See משנה ברורה שס”ב ס”ק סב which says the reason is because of גוד אסיק

Major Question:

In the Sugya of כיפה  in the case of a doorframe which is an arched on top. The gemara says if the side posts are ten tefachim tall everyone agrees it’s considered a צורת הפתח.  Rashi says this is a proof that the side posts do not need to extend to touch the top cross beam. 

How could this be considered a צורת הפתח  through גוד אסיק , there is solid material separating the top of the side posts and the cross beam? 

See אבני נזר או”ח ס’ רס”ד which asks the rule of גוד אסיק is universal,  why does רב ששת say צריכים ליגע? 

Conclusion of סוגיא צורת הפתח – כיפה  – arch

Question: 

Why is an arched door frame which starts to arch from the bottom of the side posts not obligated in mezuzah?

Is it only when lacking width of 4 tefachim with a minimum height of 3 tefachim or is it because a door frame needs to have straight side posts and a flat lintel?

Is a doorframe which is wider than four tefachim that begins to arch from bottom of the side posts considered a צורת הפתח ?
