Strategy and discriminatorproof-producing fixed-first incidence profile frontier
Select one leaf from the independently checked 249-profile partition, materialize its ten unary-counter units, and require either a directly checked 30-cover or dual-replayed ASCII LRAT.
Hypothesis: Previously uncalibrated profile-129, with intersection profile (1,0,24,0,2,2), terminates as SAT or independently replayable UNSAT within 60 solver seconds and a 64 MiB ASCII-LRAT cap.
Test: Run CPU-pinned CaDiCaL 1.7.3 with seed 0, P0 preprocessing, 60 solver seconds, 75 wall seconds, and a 64 MiB proof cap; accept only a cover checked by independent Python and C programs or an LRAT accepted by lrat-check and CakeLPR.
RationaleThe verification contract accepts only a directly checked 30-cover or complete independently replayed UNSAT evidence. The run produced neither, so the exact range remains unchanged.
Claims requiring scrutiny- The materialized profile-129 CNF has 34210 variables and 174202 clauses and is exactly the shared fixed-first formula plus ten profile units.
- The retained necessary fixed-first frontier contains 249 profiles with exactly-one ownership; profile-129 occurs once.
- The seed-0 P0 run on profile-129 returned UNKNOWN after 59.96 process seconds.
- Both qualified LRAT replay tools reject the exact 15948931-byte incomplete proof prefix.
- No 30-cover or valid profile-129 exclusion was produced.

Independent checkercheckers/check_profile129_materialization_v1.py independently reconstructs ownership and formula materialization; checkers/check_profile129_result_v1.py reparses the solver output and uses freshly compiled lrat-check and CakeLPR binaries to reject the incomplete proof.

The unique n0 block admits S9 normalization and predicts a 5.36% clause reduction relative to the shared materialization. · Compile targets n2=24,n4=2,n5=2 and independently check predicted dimensions before a five-second preprocessing test. · high · open - Canonical root-link catalogue.
It is materially different from global profile SAT and could quotient a substantial completion space. · Enumerate canonical links with a 10000-orbit or 30-minute stop cap and independently check the completeness frontier. · normal · open - Constructive degree-preserving search with direct cover checking.
A single 30-block witness would settle the problem without exhaustive negative certification. · Run a fresh bounded operator comparison only after identifying a move family materially different from the closed support-three generator. · normal · open
Continuation checkpointObjective: Compile and qualify the fixed-second reusable-totalizer encoding of profile-129.
First action: Adapt scripts/build_fixed_second_reusable_profile_v1.py by changing the reusable weights to (2,4,5) and targets to {2:24,4:2,5:2}, then independently reconstruct the stabilizer normalization and clauses.
Stop condition: Redirect on equivalence failure, source/hash mismatch, dimensions other than 33654 variables and 164858 clauses, less than 5% clause reduction, or any terminal output lacking independent validation.
Next moves- Adapt scripts/build_fixed_second_reusable_profile_v1.py to profile-129 with weights (2,4,5) and targets (24,2,2).
- Write a separately reconstructed checker for the S9 normalization, exact residual counts, and CNF clauses.
- Require predicted dimensions 33654 variables and 164858 clauses and at least 5% clause reduction before another proof-producing run.
- If the gate fails, redirect to the canonical root-link catalogue instead of lengthening the current run.
