Exact Burnside-only count of the complete four-row degree-feasible prefix universe of the forced weighted 4-regular pair-surplus multigraph, modulo S4 x S11.
No ProgressThe complete four-row degree-feasible pair-surplus prefix universe has exactly 1292182981632 labelled prefixes, 1341414 S11 multiset states, and 62437 S4 x S11 profiles. Independent fixed-point validation, six mutations, and a byte-identical producer rerun passed. This is structural progress only; 30 <= C(15,6,3) <= 31 is unchanged.
Strategy and discriminatorcanonical pair-surplus prefix augmentation
Count invariant external-vector multisets for every admissible internal weight matrix and processed-vertex permutation, then apply Burnside; independently reproduce with conjugacy-class polynomial DP.
Hypothesis: The complete degree-feasible four-row pair-surplus prefix layer has at most 100000 S4 x S11 orbits.
Test: Compute the exact Burnside count under 120 seconds and 1 GiB, then require a separate conjugacy-class polynomial implementation to reproduce internal, raw, labelled, class-fixed, Burnside, and canonical totals and reject mutations.
RationaleTwo materially different exact implementations agree on every fixed-point and aggregate total, and fail-closed controls passed. This proves the finite count at the declared degree-feasible prefix scope, but that scope omits later pair-surplus rows and all cover-completion constraints.
Claims requiring scrutiny- The complete degree-feasible four-row prefix layer of loopless weighted 4-regular multigraphs on 15 vertices has exactly 62437 S4 x S11 orbits.
- Those profiles represent exactly 1341414 S11 external-multiset states and 1292182981632 labelled degree-feasible prefixes.
- The five S4 conjugacy-class fixed counts are 1341414, 21828, 7810, 255, and 106 per permutation for cycle types 1+1+1+1, 2+1+1, 2+2, 3+1, and 4 respectively.
- The maintained covering range remains 30 <= C(15,6,3) <= 31.

Computational experiments- .proof-experiments/20260812-021556-dc8d0a: producer returned PASS_BELOW_GATE with 62437 profiles in 118.075 seconds and 61320 KiB peak child memory.
- .proof-experiments/20260812-021820-92d870: independent checker returned PASS_INDEPENDENT in 52.081 seconds and rejected six mutations.
- .proof-experiments/20260812-021935-7938a8: producer rerun returned the byte-identical receipt in 115.617 seconds.
Independent checkercheckers/check_pair_surplus_depth4_burnside_v1.py recursively generates capacity-admissible internal matrices and uses conjugacy-class polynomial multiplication, materially different from the producer's flat all-permutation recursive fixed-point scan.

Continuation checkpointObjective: Materialize and independently validate the complete depth-four pair-surplus owner ledger.
First action: Implement a checkpointable 62437-record generator seeded by artifacts/epoch102-20260811/pair-surplus-depth3-frontier-v2/producer-receipt.json, then submit it with submit_lab.py.
Stop condition: Stop or redirect on any total mismatch, duplicate or missing profile, foreign deletion parent, independent checker failure, or infeasible runtime/storage projection.
Next moves- Implement a checkpointable generator for all 62437 canonical depth-four records and their deletion-parent keys.
- Submit it through submit_lab.py with a 100000-record cap, 1-GiB limit, immutable inputs, progress and checkpoint paths, and a separately written parent checker.
- Forecast later complete-H and replayable proof volume before compiling any SAT leaves.
- Keep a materially different exact-degree-12 constructive route active as the shortest terminal-certificate path.
