Strategy and discriminatortwo-cut regional block-profile feasibility
Compress residual 5-blocks by their compositions across four cells induced by two tight cuts, impose exact regional degrees and ten aggregate pair demands, and independently replay infeasibility by exact eight-layer reachability.
Hypothesis: At least 26 of 256 deterministically sampled epoch-62 survivors have an infeasible joint two-cut profile relaxation.
Test: Solve all 256 frozen profile systems exactly and require at least 26 UNSAT cases, with every UNSAT case independently unreachable in a looser exact DP and every SAT model directly validated.
RationaleEvery real completion maps into the profile system, and the independent DP found no reachable state for the 11 blockers even after loosening that system. This supports the exact local exclusions. The incomplete source frontier, untested degree types, and failed efficiency gate prevent any global lower-bound or candidate claim.
Claims requiring scrutiny- Every genuine eight-block completion of a four-block root-link prefix satisfies the stated two-cut regional profile system.
- Exactly 11 nodes in the frozen 256-node sample are infeasible even after deleting profile-availability bounds.
- All 245 remaining sampled nodes have directly validated feasible profile assignments, which are not claimed to be actual completions.
- The blocker key-list SHA-256 is 2ea5cf745a0230e159b94acdb090f3b0f372374d84e08f400661d8cf9ff714ed.
- The 11/256 rejection rate failed the frozen 26-node continuation gate.
- The maintained covering-number range did not change.

Computational experiments- .proof-experiments/20260810-201533-dd9ce2: primary Z3 4.13.0 run completed in 56.179 seconds with 245 SAT, 11 UNSAT, and no UNKNOWN.
- .proof-experiments/20260810-201811-901c18: independent checker completed in 59.103 seconds, validated 245 models, replayed 11 looser DP exclusions, and rejected four mutations.
- .proof-experiments/20260810-201514-62670b: failed before research output because installed Z3 rejected generator-valued Sum arguments; corrected by materializing lists.
- .proof-experiments/20260810-201741-cad834: failed before DP because tuple/list JSON normalization disagreed; corrected with a type-normalized reconstruction.
Independent checkercheckers/check_two_cut_profile_pilot_v1.py is separately written and uses set-based graph reconstruction, subset-combination cut generation, direct SAT-model arithmetic, and ordered eight-block exact DP. For UNSAT replay it deliberately omits the primary profile-capacity constraints.

Cross-domain transfers tested- Cut-capacity inequalities -> prediction that coupling two cuts would reject at least 26 sampled separate-cut survivors -> 11 were rejected, so the transfer is sound but below scale.
- State aggregation from resource-constrained scheduling -> cap accumulated pair coverage at demand and memoize equal partial states -> all 11 local UNSAT cases were replayed exactly in 59.103 seconds.
- Constructive local-search diversification -> prediction that fresh nonisomorphic starts combined with larger-support transitions may escape a support-two plateau -> not tested this epoch and retained as the next discriminator.
Established facts- Every actual residual completion induces a feasible two-cut profile satisfying the four classes of constraints in the lemma.

Continuation checkpointObjective: Determine whether exact support-three plateau transitions improve constructive search across fresh nonisomorphic degree-12 starts.
First action: Audit scripts/generate_fresh_nonisomorphic_starts_v1.py and the epoch-23 fresh-start receipt, then freeze equal proposal counts for support-two control and exact three-block replacement challenger.
Stop condition: Stop on degree drift, duplicate blocks, direct-check disagreement, no deficit or canonical-diversity improvement under the matched cap, or projected runtime above two minutes without lab submission.
Next moves- Do not scan all 2094 survivors with the unchanged single-pair rule.
- Audit the fresh nonisomorphic degree-12 start generator and exact support-three allocation engine.
- Freeze matched proposal counts for support-two control and support-three challenger.
- Directly validate every zero-deficit state against all 455 triples.
- Use the checkpointed lab if the matched constructive experiment is expected to exceed two minutes.
