Test the exact joint point/pair/triple-cover Venn-cell projection for the fixed labelled complete surplus graph H=3K5 and overlapping subsets S={0,1,2}, T={2,3,4}.
No ProgressThe exact overlap-one two-subset Venn projection for labelled H=3K5 is feasible. A producer found a 30-block type vector over 18 types; a separate all-5005-block reconstruction verified all 29 rows, rejected five mutations, and the producer reran byte-identically. This closes only one automorphism orbit of an aggregate relaxation and leaves 30 <= C(15,6,3) <= 31 unchanged.
Strategy and discriminatortwo-subset Venn-cell integer projection
Aggregate all six-subsets by four Venn-cell counts, impose exact cell-resolved block, point, pair, and triple-cover moments, and test integer feasibility.
Hypothesis: The exact joint Venn-cell moments for S={0,1,2}, T={2,3,4} exclude the fixed labelled complete pair-surplus graph H=3K5.
Test: Solve the 18-variable integer projection and independently scan all 5005 labelled blocks to reconstruct and exactly check its coefficient table and witness.
RationaleA checked feasible vector falsifies the exclusion hypothesis for the exact projection. Because the projection discards point identities, feasibility cannot be lifted to a cover, so it supplies route information but no field-level result.
Claims requiring scrutiny- For H=3K5 and every ordered pair of 3-subsets contained in one K5 and intersecting in one point, the 18-type Venn-cell point/pair/triple-cover moment projection is integer feasible.
- The coefficient catalogue has exactly 18 types covering all 5005 labelled blocks for the frozen partition.
- No cover, complete-H exclusion, or covering-number improvement is obtained.

Cross-domain transfers tested- Classical intersection-number equations -> predict that two overlapping subsets may couple separate H(S) histograms -> the exact overlap-one 3K5 orbit still has a feasible aggregate vector.
Established facts- The frozen Venn projection has exactly 18 coefficient types, 15 equalities, 14 inequalities, and a feasible integer vector of total 30.

Continuation checkpointObjective: Unlock a route capable of whole-profile or whole-orbit elimination rather than another aggregate feasibility sample.
First action: Request approval for the exact 38705-profile scope or pin both PBP replayers and run the synthetic calibration; otherwise formulate one edge-resolved whole-orbit discriminator.
Stop condition: Hold on absent authority/tools, any checker mutation acceptance, or another relaxation that only returns a feasible aggregate vector.
Next moves- Do not run another arbitrary subset-pair Venn sample.
- Obtain explicit human approval before parent-materializing the remaining 38705 depth-four profiles.
- Alternatively acquire and pin VeriPB and CakePB, then execute only the four-control synthetic CaDiCaL PBP calibration before target solving.
- Without either gate, design an edge-resolved invariant with a predeclared whole-complete-H-orbit exclusion certificate.

Deterministic work used Python 3.12.3, SciPy 1.11.4/HiGHS MILP, exact Python integer arithmetic, exhaustive itertools enumeration, SHA-256, cmp, and the project run_experiment harness.
