Established: yes, by pure standard-library bitmask +linear algebra over F2 with complete branch-and-bound enumerations and explicit +forced-zero triangular witnesses — no SAT, no CP-SAT, no exchange argument, no char-2 jet, +and nothing imported from the predecessor package. Evidence status: author-checked +(Aaron Wang, with help from opencode; substantial AI assistance, no independent human +review), replayed on two interpreters with identical output. Artifact: this package at +the PR head recorded in +[the handoff](https://github.com/CrocSwap/integer-mult-bounds/discussions/1166). + +## Claim and scope + +Let `tied_min` be the pinned 12-line configuration +`data/tied_min.json` (four points `(1,±1,±1)` against the six two-support lines of the +coordinate triangle; it is the complete quadrangle against its own diagonal triangle). +An admissible pairing `B` is a 0/1 matrix over F2 with unit diagonal and `B_ts = 1` +(`t != s`) only where `p(t)·q(s) = 0`. With `R_j = {t : p_j(t) != 0}` and +`A_j = {s : q_j(s) != 0}`, the cost is `cost(B) = sum_j rank_F2 B[R_j, A_j]`. + +**Claim certified here (both directions).** The minimum of `cost(B)` over all admissible +pairings is exactly 12: every admissible `B` has `cost(B) >= 12`, and one attains 12. +Coverage is exactly this pinned configuration at `T = 3`. Nothing is claimed about other +configurations, about conjecture (A), or about any multiplication exponent. + +This is item 1 of DreamingOfClouds' +[independent-check request](https://github.com/CrocSwap/integer-mult-bounds/discussions/1166#discussioncomment-18934590), +which asks for a certificate from a different method than the two existing proofs: +the exchange argument of +[PR 2111](https://github.com/CrocSwap/integer-mult-bounds/pull/2111) Theorem T (with one +CNF step) and the first-order char-2 jet Theorem T-prime of +[PR 2162](https://github.com/CrocSwap/integer-mult-bounds/pull/2162). The predecessor +package also carries CNF and CP-SAT confirmations of Theorem T. This certificate reuses +neither proof technique and neither tool class. + +## Method and completeness + +The model is re-derived from the pinned data alone (the encoding was cross-read against +`research/three-total-decoders/lib/kit.py` at the PR 2111 head; no code is imported). +All arithmetic is exact F2 Gaussian elimination on integer bitmasks +(`check_certificate.py`, standard library only). + +Lower bound, by case split that covers every falsifier: + +1. Each block rank is at least 3 for every admissible `B`: explicit triples `X_j` with a + forced-zero off-diagonal pattern making `B[X_j, X_j]` unit upper triangular in the + listed order (a Massey-style minor witness; the block contains the minor). Witnesses + found and verified: block 0 `X = [1,2,4]`, block 1 `X = [0,1,4]`, block 2 `X = [0,2,7]`. +2. A counterexample with `cost <= 11` would need some block of rank exactly 3. For each + block, the complete set of fillings of its 8 columns with F2 rank at most 3 is + enumerated by branch and bound on the column spans: exactly one filling per block + (independently reproducing step (b) of Theorem T by a different method). +3. For each such filling, all `2^24` completions of the remaining four class-j columns + (six free entries each) are enumerated with exact ranks: the minimum of the other two + block ranks sums is exactly 10 in every case (minima 10, 10, 10 for the three blocks), + so any `B` with a rank-3 block has cost at least `3 + 10 = 13`. + +Hence every admissible `B` has cost at least 12. Upper bound: an explicit +class-block-diagonal `B*` (rank-2 fillings of each 4x4 class block) has block ranks +`(4,4,4)` and cost exactly 12. The search for rank-2 same-class fillings finds exactly 6 +per class, consistent with the predecessor's `216 = 6^3` class-block-diagonal optima. + +Recorded exact outputs (`cert_results.json`): 72 admissible off-diagonal entries, 6 free +entries per column, unique rank-3 filling per block, residual minima 10/10/10 over +16,777,216 completions per block, `B*` ranks `(4,4,4)`, identity pairing cost 24. + +## Controls + +Positive: the identity pairing `B = I` computes cost 24; `B*` computes cost 12. +Semantic failure controls (all pass): a tampered data pin is rejected by the SHA-256 +check; weakening one forced-zero entry breaks the triangular witness certificate; +removing one used free entry of the unique rank-3 filling kills that filling (the +enumeration then returns zero fillings). + +## Reproduction + +```sh +python3 research/antifano-tied-min-cost12-seed22ae1f95/check_certificate.py +``` + +Runs in about two minutes on this host with `PYTHONUTF8=1`, on CPython 3.13.11 and +CPython 3.12.14 with identical output (`SUMMARY pass=18 fail=0`).

It replaces the SAT +uniqueness step with complete column/row-basis subspace censuses — one rank-three +completion per block, agreeing with this package's independently computed counts +1, 1, 1 — and then applies the credited exchange argument for the final lower bound. +This package adds what that audit deliberately leaves credited: the exchange step +itself is discharged here by complete residual enumeration (exact minimum other-block +rank sum 10 = 5 + 5 over all `2^24` completions per rank-three filling), with exact +residual bookkeeping and distinct semantic failure controls. Both packages agree on +the headline: the minimum over admissible `B` is 12 (not equality for every `B`; the +full incidence matrix and the identity pairing cost 24). + +Contributor: **Aaron Wang**, with help from opencode (substantial AI assistance). +Apache-2.0, same as the repository. + +## Open next questions + +1. **Same method on `cex_min_1` (19 lines).** The predecessor record holds + `20 <= cost <= 22`. Why it matters: it would independently tighten a named gap and test + the method past `v = 12`. First step: MAS witnesses plus a residual-space estimate for + the pinned `cex_min_1` data before any enumeration. Blocked by: more free entries per + column, so the residual space likely exceeds `2^24` without a new reduction. +2. **A human-readable rank-3 uniqueness proof.** Why it matters: the enumeration is a + certificate, not a proof; a forced-zero cascade would make step (b) reviewable without + replay. First step: print the three unique fillings from `cert_results.json` and trace + what the rank cap forces. Blocked by: unknown whether the cascade closes without case + analysis; not attempted this session. +3. **Enumerate all cost-12 optima and confirm the count 217.** Why it matters: it would + independently confirm both optimum families and the F2S identity data. First step: lift + the branch-and-bound cap from rank 3 to rank 4 with completion pruning. Blocked by: the + rank-4 filling space is far larger and needs a pruning argument first. diff --git a/research/antifano-tied-min-cost12-seed22ae1f95/SOURCES.json b/research/antifano-tied-min-cost12-seed22ae1f95/SOURCES.json new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..fa7d7c623f --- /dev/null +++ b/research/antifano-tied-min-cost12-seed22ae1f95/SOURCES.json @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +{ + "schema_version": 1, + "base_commit": "0fdd7d82de03e43c9e5a1000dfbcd380d1b687d2", + "files": [ + { + "path": "docs/research/agent-task-catalog.json", + "git_blob": "e8870e5917057d59b730eb14721a778639eca050", + "sha256": "d46eb6d5b3e279428753d770653663fbdf1063e55c255ea073d768f344927ef7", + "usage": "provenance" + }, + { + "path": "certificates/selected-result.json", + "git_blob": "ae6a99f28aa468649eb66a361e764d769363bf11", + "sha256": "10b9e340fd8e354a37a0c4813c90e5de1dd42044b5f6aca4a3fc5a42b685fa32", + "usage": "provenance" + } + ], + "external_package_sources": [ + { + "path": "research/three-total-decoders/data/tied_min.json", + "where": "https://github.com/CrocSwap/integer-mult-bounds/pull/2111 head 98da76c2839ba38538b510420dec54546ccabf0b", + "git_blob_sha256": "670ed90924b601ade22f0d4adaff46d1667e5449326a0f7ba7b88dd8f5906f93", + "note": "Not present at base_commit, so it cannot enter the base-blob pin list; the exact byte copy shipped in data/ is pinned by the checker constant PIN_SHA256 and verified at run time." + } + ] +} \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/research/antifano-tied-min-cost12-seed22ae1f95/TASK.json b/research/antifano-tied-min-cost12-seed22ae1f95/TASK.json new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..253e6881ff --- /dev/null +++ b/research/antifano-tied-min-cost12-seed22ae1f95/TASK.json @@ -0,0 +1,77 @@ +{ + "schema_version": 1, + "task_id": "independent-moment", + "scope_status": "changed", + "scope_change_reason": "The drawn card's natural object (an independent moment/enclosure check of the MAS edge form of Theorem B2 (iii)) is occupied by fresh parallel work: claim https://github.com/CrocSwap/integer-mult-bounds/discussions/1166#discussioncomment-18941591 and its completed result https://github.com/CrocSwap/integer-mult-bounds/pull/2340 (comments 18941591/18942032, 2026-10-15).
