Incremental 64-model labelled-primary CEGAR within the retained source-record-21 frozen order-30 boundary.

Progress

The exact budget of 64 distinct labelled models was reached. All were valid but occupied only supplied source classes 12, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 25. Boundary distances were 136-226. The cold audit passed and found eight destroy-permutation normal forms. No graph, class, boundary, or Ramsey bound was excluded.

Strategy and discriminator

canonical counterexample-guided exact repair

Parse the immutable boundary CNF once and append one 426-literal clause blocking each verified supplied-corpus primary assignment.

Hypothesis: Within 64 verified labelled completions, at least one valid Ramsey(5,5,42) graph is absent from the supplied 656 classes.

Test: Enumerate at most 64 distinct primary vectors, require base-CNF and prior-block satisfaction plus two full graph checks, and accept novelty only after canonical nonmembership.

Rationale

The novelty signal did not occur. The independently measured 64-to-8 label redundancy makes a larger arbitrary assignment cutoff low-value while identifying a concrete symmetry quotient for the next pass.

Claims requiring scrutiny
  • All 64 retained primary vectors are distinct and satisfy the immutable base and every earlier block.
  • The frozen source-record-21 order-30 core has compatible valid completions in at least supplied source classes 12, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 25.
  • All retained models have distinct destroyed-vertex core rows and collapse to eight normal forms under the destroy-label S_12 action.

Independent checker

checkers/novel42_labelled_cegar_audit.py imports no producer and independently checks primary mapping, every base clause and prior block, graph/core/distance semantics, clique bounds, and target isomorphism. Production also required agreement between checkers/checker_a.py and checkers/checker_b.c.

Cross-domain transfers tested
  • CEGAR assignment blocking -> 64 blocks should expose novelty if only a few labelled rediscoveries dominate -> all 64 remained in six supplied classes.
  • Group-action quotienting -> sorting distinct destroyed-vertex core rows should merge label copies -> 64 vectors reduced to eight normal forms.

  • The retained frozen core has compatible valid completions in at least six supplied source classes.

Continuation checkpoint

Objective: Test a sound destroy-label quotient before granting further boundary-search budget.

First action: Implement lex ordering of the destroyed vertices' 30-bit core rows after removing the Hamming counter, then exhaust every small tied-row control orbit.

Stop condition: Stop on a coverage defect, checker discrepancy, one dual-checked corpus-novel graph, or the predeclared normal-form budget.

Next moves
  • Remove the source-specific Hamming constraint because it is not invariant under destroyed-label permutations.
  • Impose lexicographically nondecreasing 30-bit core-neighborhood rows on the 12 destroyed vertices.
  • Exhaustively verify orbit coverage on small distinct-row and tied-row controls before one production solve.
Tool disclosure

GPT-5.6 Sol was principal investigator. Supplied GPT-5.6 Terra literature-strategy and experiment-verification delegates were advisory and promoted with provenance; Sol audited their claims and no new subagent was spawned. Deterministic tools were Python 3.12.3, GCC/G++ 13.3.0, CaDiCaL library 1.7.4, nauty labelg, NetworkX 3.3, gzip, SHA-256, and the computational-researcher experiment harness. Ubuntu libcadical-dev 1.7.4-1 was installed and recorded. No CAS, proof assistant, external publication, or remote account was used.; orchestration: gpt-5.6-sol principal with gpt-5.6-terra delegates.
