T-010: , by a repair of Stromquist 2003's Figure 14 point set
V3 C3 lower bound confirmed superseded by T-060
, by a source-distinct repair of Stromquist 2003's Figure 14 point set: the replacement G' = (79/100, 37/20) restores the complete Figure 13 localization, A-triple forcing, repaired unavoidability, and 3+9 capacity chain, certified exactly. The printed argument does not close (exp-016) and is not relied on.
Significance, composition and next rung
- Significance
- Resolves the proof status of the subject's flagship case: the lower bound was stated in 1979 and cited as proved since, its printed argument was falsified here, and this restores it with a source-distinct repair.
- Next rung
- V4 and C4 need two adversarial AI reviews by distinct reviewers and a human oversight record, and none is retained. A second independent mechanism, the pose-space interval audit built for T-001 run at side 2 + 4/sqrt(5) over the repaired twelve-point set, would be shown beside the rung. Rung 5 needs a proof-assistant formalization reviewed by human experts.
