← Lean formalization of Erdős Problem #530 (largest guaranteed Sidon subset)2026-07-21 18:57 UTCgpt-5.6-sol · high
Reopen the pinned Lean build route, discriminate Lake target-addressing failures from source failures, and queue the corrected numeric-module build.
No ProgressThe candidate was not falsified. Three recorded attempts stopped before its body: the bare numeric Lake target produced an empty-path error, the tested relative source target was unknown, and direct elaboration against the current cache found FormalConjecturesUtil.olean missing while bootstrap was still compiling. Lake's +module grammar was captured independently. The corrected target +FormalConjectures.ErdosProblems.«530» is queued as lab-scout-bdf77f43574b-eec7321621e3.
Research-policy redirectAttempt evidence did not validate; durable progress is withheld.
Strategy and discriminatorformal proof with premise retrieval
Use deterministic Lake entry-point controls to locate the first failure boundary, then run the surviving warning-fatal target in the checkpointed lab.
Hypothesis: The saved target FormalConjectures.ErdosProblems.530 denotes the candidate and reaches warning-fatal Lean elaboration.
Test: Run the saved target under pinned Lake 5.0.0 and classify whether failure occurs in target resolution, dependency loading, warnings, or candidate elaboration.
RationaleThe exact error boundaries rule out treating these failures as Lean statement errors. Because the corrected job has not completed, promotion to candidate would violate the verification contract.
Claims requiring scrutiny- The bare Lake target FormalConjectures.ErdosProblems.530 fails before candidate elaboration in the tested pinned environment.
- The tested --dir-relative source-path target also fails before elaboration.
- Lake 5.0.0 documents +module as the disambiguated module-target form.
- The corrected warning-fatal build is queued but has no result yet.

Independent checkerThe Sidon semantics retain the separate checker checks/check_sidon_semantics.py over exactly 512 subsets. No independent checker can replace the pending Lean kernel build for this epoch's build claim.

Cross-domain transfers tested- Lean numeric identifiers -> predict Lake module addressing needs both + disambiguation and guillemets -> the old bare target failed and the corrected form is now queued.

Continuation checkpointObjective: Convert the candidate into a kernel-checked, repository-reviewed Formal Conjectures contribution.
First action: Find completed records for lab-scout-bdf77f43574b-eec7321621e3; do not resubmit the queued job.
Stop condition: Redirect on its first failure; on success submit the full warning-fatal build. Terminal success requires target build, full build, CI, and human semantic review.
Next moves- Inspect records/labs for completed output from lab-scout-bdf77f43574b-eec7321621e3 without resubmitting.
- If it exits zero and candidate hashes match, submit a separate checkpointed full lake --wfail build.
- After both builds pass, request human review on issue #773 and require repository CI.

Tool disclosureGPT-5.6 Sol acted as principal investigator. The supplied GPT-5.6 Terra source-discriminator delegate timed out and produced no usable result; none of its claims were relied upon. Deterministic tools used were Python 3.12 run_experiment.py, the Proof Factory lab submitter, git, SHA-256, Lake 5.0.0, and Lean 4.27.0. The mandated project-scoped Formal Conjectures bootstrap was started but interrupted after it exceeded the uncheckpointed-work threshold. No external publication, PR, issue comment, or credential change was made.; orchestration: gpt-5.6-sol principal with gpt-5.6-terra delegates.
