T-009: , by a Krawczyk interval certificate
V3 C3 upper bound confirmed
, by a Krawczyk interval certificate over the retained rational 29-square witness at a declared relaxation of 1e-20.
Significance, composition and next rung
- Significance
- As far as the archived corpus shows, the first interval certificate for a square-in-square bound; 5.2337e-5 tighter than the robust rational route on the same packing.
- Next rung
- V4 and C4 need two adversarial AI reviews by distinct reviewers and a human oversight record, and none is retained. An exact-algebraic confirmation of the same witness would be shown beside the rung as a second machine method; the standing reported-value promotion question is the owner's evidence-contract decision, not a rung.
