- wand125's square-packing-bounds (6 October 2026) reports from a density of 402 uniform rectangles of total mass 2999999/100000, on a net the certificate declares: core side 1999/2000 and 832 half-angle tangents of step 1/2006, accepted there at every direction by sqverify-proof-net, the source's copy of this repository's sqverify_fast changed to read a declared net (a check2 bundle, with no C++ record). It is above the 47/8 the record reported (T-068). sqverify-fast, this repository's clean-room measure verifier, decided it here at all 832 directions on 6 October 2026.

Claim and records
- Claim
- A rectangle density of wand125/square-packing-bounds, checked at coverage one on a net it declares and published on 6 October 2026, proves = 5.8835.
The certificate is a density of 402 uniform rectangles in D4 orbits, and no point mass, of total mass 2999999/100000, on the net T-099's certificate declares: core side 1999/2000 and 832 half-angle tangents of step 1/2006. Since 1999/2000 (1 + 1/2006) = 4011993/4012000 < 1, and the last tangent 831/2006 is past tan(pi/8), every unit square contains a concentric core at a net angle strictly in its interior.
The source reports every such core capturing mass at least one at all 832 directions, by sqverify-proof-net, its copy of this repository's sqverify_fast changed to read the declared net, and ships no record of its C++ checker for this certificate.
The value is above 47/8 = 5.875, the source's rectangle certificate rect_n30_L5875 and the reported (T-068) and verified (T-074) lower bound at before it, by 0.0085.
The certificate was decided here on 6 October 2026 by sqverify-fast, this repository's clean-room measure verifier, at all 832 directions of the net the candidate declares, and two mutants scaled below coverage one were refused: confirmed, re-implemented sharing the producer's components. The source's check is a copy of the same crate with one change, so the two share the sqverify_fast crate; their records agree direction by direction, and their agreement is not a second implementation. The source's C++ checker, the producer's own code but sharing none with the crate, verified the candidate here at threshold one at nodes 347 and 831, the least-bound node of the source's run among them, and was not run in full: samples that decide those nodes only.
wand125 after Tokoharu and Levy, square-packing-bounds. No registration was requested: an intake pass of the source found it. The source says parts of the work were produced with AI assistance under human direction. - Composition
- One primary certificate on its reported entry and its replay entry. The replay is sqverify-fast at all 832 directions of the net the retained candidate declares: one interval-certified method, replayed here by an implementation that shares the producer's components, C3, on the census route, whose conditions for a declared net this certificate meets. The source's own check is a copy of the same crate, and its C++ checker was run here at sampled directions only, so no second implementation and no second method stands beside it.
- Next rung
- V4 and C4 need two adversarial AI reviews of this result by distinct reviewers and a human oversight record; one is retained. A complete run of the source's C++ checker over all 832 directions (devtools.audit_wand125_declared_net cpp-sample, about 59 CPU-hours at the samples' rate) would add a check that shares no code with sqverify_fast beside the rung, though it is the producer's own code.
- Significance
- The strongest verified lower bound on record at , by 0.0085 above T-074, and the strongest reported. The certificate kind of T-099 on a declared net, checked at the source by a copy of this repository's verifier rather than its C++ checker; no new technique, at S3 as T-096, T-099 and T-100 are.
- Novelty
- previously-published Present in an identified source

not rigid, numerically checked, numerical multiprecision
Evidence: E-translation-escape-not-rigid
Scope
Square 24 of the retained witness (witness id 25) translates 1 along (0, 1) with the packing still valid, so the configuration admits a non-trivial feasible motion; 6 of its 30 squares do. Every constraint is exactly affine in the slide parameter, so the arithmetic carries no linearization error, but the coordinates are the witness's own finite-precision transcription: this settles the retained configuration, not the true optimum. Rigidity and optimality are independent, and this bears only on the former.

External intake, 2026-10-06. wand125’s
check2 source
reports (T-109), from a density of 402 rectangles of
total mass , on a net the certificate declares: core side
and 832 half-angle tangents of step . Since
, every unit square contains a core at a net angle
strictly in its interior.
The source ships no record of its C++ checker for it: it accepts it at every direction
with its copy of this repository’s sqverify_fast, changed to read a declared net.
It is above the reported (T-068) by . This repository’s clean-room
verifier sqverify-fast decided it here on 6 October 2026 at all 832 directions of its
net, and refused two mutants scaled below coverage one: confirmed, re-implemented
sharing the producer’s components (the source’s check is a copy of the same crate), so
it is also the verified lower bound.
wand125’s README says parts of the work were produced with AI assistance under human
direction.
External intake, 2026-10-01. wand125’s rectangle-density source reports , since superseded (T-109), with total mass , accepted by Tokoharu’s unchanged interval checker. The complete 201-direction coverage replay here accepted it again, after this repository’s exact audit checked that the regenerated checker input is the published one and checked the mass and net premises, so it was also verified until 2026-10-06, when the certificate above superseded it in both lanes. wand125’s README says parts of the work were produced with AI assistance under human direction.
External intake, 2026-09-27. wand125’s rectangle-density source reports a direct certificate for this case, whose reported bound the 2026-10-01 intake above raises, with total mass , accepted by Tokoharu’s unchanged interval checker. This repository’s exact audit checks that the regenerated checker input is the published one, and checks the mass and net premises; the complete coverage replay has not yet run here, so the verified lower bound is unchanged. wand125’s README says parts of the work were produced with AI assistance under human direction.
External intake, 2026-09-22. Tokoharu’s retained rectangle-density source reports ; monotonicity carries the reported bound to . The complete source replay verifies the source premise, so the same monotonicity argument verifies the bound at . Tokoharu’s README says parts of the work were produced with AI assistance under human direction.
Open. The verified interval is , with width
. Its lower end is wand125’s check2 certificate on a declared net (T-109,
2026-10-06, V3/C3), which superseded its rectangle-density certificate of 1 October at
(T-074, replayed here on 2026-10-02), that one its replayed
(T-045, 2026-10-02), and that one Tokoharu’s carried from .
The packing
The record catalogue does not picture : no arrangement has ever been found that beats the trivial grid, so the grid is still the best known packing. That is a statement about what has been searched, not a proof.
The lower bound
The verified lower bound is , from wand125’s check2 certificate of
6 October on a declared net (T-109), decided here by sqverify-fast at every
direction of its net.
Before it, , from its own n30 rectangle-density certificate of 1 October,
replayed in full here (T-074); its certificate of 27 September,
(T-045), held the field earlier on 2 October.
Until then it was : the complete n29 interval replay verifies that bound, and
deleting one square from any hypothetical packing proves it for n30 too.
A method-distinct rectangle coverage implementation would add confidence and improve
generalization, but it is not a missing premise of either bound.
Corrected 2 October 2026: Nagamochi’s Lemma 1 is false (Karakuş 2026), so his closed form below is now a reported bound whose published proof is incomplete (review). This register had recorded that proof as verified, its own error, logged as defect D-516. Nagamochi’s earlier general closed form remains part of the evidence history and applies to every :
