derive global block-pair intersection moments and squeeze the square mass Q of pair surplus against the collision mass R of triple excess

No Progress

Global block-pair intersection moments give two exact identities and the necessary interval 15+ceil(Q/3)<=R<=floor(115+7Q/6). Independent reconstruction and four mutation controls passed. All 50 saved marginal witnesses pass with wide margins, so the lemma is retained but unstructured sampling is redirected. The covering range remains 30 through 31.

Strategy and discriminator

global intersection-moment inequalities

Compress all 435 unordered block pairs into six intersection bins and use two nonnegative pointwise binomial-polynomial slacks to derive exact Q-R identities.

Hypothesis: Every putative 30-block cover satisfies 15+ceil(Q/3) <= R <= floor(115+7Q/6), and at least one of the 50 saved marginally feasible epoch-114 (H,e) witnesses may violate this necessary condition.

Test: Derive both inequalities from the six possible block-pair intersection sizes, compute Q and R for all 50 hash-pinned controls, and require a separate implementation to rebuild every H degree, every e marginal, every histogram moment, and four mutation rejections.

Rationale

The mathematical claim follows from exact double counts and pointwise nonnegative polynomials on the complete intersection domain 0..5, while a materially separate checker reconstructs every tested marginal. Progress is limited to a reusable lemma because no H/e witness, cover case, or global family was eliminated.

Claims requiring scrutiny
  • For every putative 30-block C(15,6,3) cover, 3R-Q-45=n_1+4n_4+15n_5.
  • For every putative 30-block C(15,6,3) cover, 345+7Q/2-3R=15n_0+4n_1+n_4.
  • Consequently 15+ceil(Q/3)<=R<=floor(115+7Q/6).
  • All 50 hash-pinned epoch-114 marginal witnesses pass this interval and admit an abstract six-bin histogram satisfying the four counted moments.

Continuation checkpoint

Objective: Build an exact once-only depth-four ownership union after the human scope gate, or otherwise test one genuinely coupled link-lift relaxation.

First action: Request approval for parent-materializing 38705 remaining profiles across the qualified 82-chunk geometry.

Stop condition: Stop on approval refusal, any count/hash/owner/parent/restart disagreement, or an attempt to promote ownership alone as a covering result.

Next moves
  • Request explicit approval for the exact remaining 38705-profile parent-materialization scope, then reconcile the full 62437-profile ownership union.
  • Reuse the Q-R interval only on complete owned H/e candidates; do not sample more unchanged marginal witnesses.
  • If ownership approval remains unavailable, formulate one bounded all-root link-lift relaxation with an independently checked positive control and stop on timeout or no pruning signal.
