Validated an exact S_12 destroyed-label row-order quotient for the retained source-record-21 frozen order-30 boundary, blocked the canonical source vector, and classified exactly one subsequent SAT model.

Progress

The local quotient is sound and passed every distinct-row, tied-row, source, DIMACS, graph, isomorphism, and adversarial control. After blocking sorted source record 21, the single permitted model was supplied source record 12. No Ramsey bound changed.

Strategy and discriminator

symmetry-normalized exact boundary repair

Remove the non-invariant Hamming counter, impose lexicographically nondecreasing 30-bit destroyed-to-core rows, exhaustively validate tied-row coverage, and permit one source-blocked SAT model.

Hypothesis: The row-order quotient retains every boundary orbit, including tied rows, and one source-blocked model can be exactly classified without resuming labelled CEGAR.

Test: Enumerate all 2^21 labelled four-core/three-destroyed graphs and the complete four-bit comparator truth table, verify the sorted source against the regenerated no-Hamming CNF, then run CaDiCaL once with seed 1 for 30 seconds.

Rationale

The exhaustive and independent controls establish the exact scoped reduction, while supplied-corpus membership triggers the predeclared stop and forbids novelty or exclusion claims.

Claims requiring scrutiny
  • The row-sorted quotient covers every S_12 destroy-label orbit in the fixed record-21 boundary.
  • The quotient represents exactly 2^66*C(2^30+11,12) primary assignments.
  • The one post-block model is a valid Ramsey(5,5,42) graph isomorphic to supplied source record 12.

Independent checker

checkers/novel42_lex_quotient_audit.py imports no producer, independently reconstructs the raw and lex clauses, evaluates all 198913 clauses, validates graph semantics and record-12 isomorphism, and verifies that an unsorted destroy transposition preserves raw Ramsey clauses but is rejected by lex order.

Continuation checkpoint

Objective: Test whether one certified two-orbit exclusion has a raw core of at most 20 clauses.

First action: Use the retained burden-zero slice artifacts to generate a raw-clause-only instance, then deletion-minimize with exact replay and independent origin mapping.

Stop condition: Stop on a core larger than 20 clauses, an origin-map failure, or non-replayable UNSAT; consider the 20-distance atlas only after the first threshold passes.

Next moves
  • Select one retained burden-zero two-orbit slice.
  • Strip all auxiliary and symmetry structure to raw K5 clauses.
  • Deletion-minimize with exact UNSAT checks and independently verify every surviving five-set origin.
  • Stop immediately if the first core exceeds 20 clauses.
Tool disclosure

GPT-5.6 Sol was the campaign-designated principal. Supplied GPT-5.6 Terra literature-strategy and experiment-verification delegates were advisory; their artifacts were promoted with provenance. Sol independently audited the primary sources, corrected the comparator count, implemented and ran the producer, and wrote the cold checker. Deterministic tools were Python 3.12.3, GCC 13.3.0, CaDiCaL 1.7.3, nauty labelg, NetworkX 3.3, curl, pdftotext, jq, SHA-256, and the computational-researcher experiment harness. No new subagent, CAS, proof assistant, external publication, remote account, or system-level change was used.; orchestration: gpt-5.6-sol principal with gpt-5.6-terra delegates.
