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 Progress

The 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 discriminator

two-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.

Rationale

A 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.

Independent checker

checkers/check_venn_projection_pilot_v1.py uses a separate all-5005 labelled-block enumeration, derives pair/triple coefficients from each selected block, uses no SciPy, and rejects five mutations.

  • 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.

Continuation checkpoint

Objective: 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.
Tool disclosure

GPT-5.6 Sol served as principal investigator. Two supplied GPT-5.6 Terra delegates provided advisory prior-art and experiment-design memos; their agreement was not treated as evidence. 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. No external solver proof was claimed; local command audit found CaDiCaL 1.7.3 but no VeriPB or CakePB replayer.; orchestration: gpt-5.6-sol principal with gpt-5.6-terra delegates.
