T-111: Mixed rectangle-measure lower bound verified at , on a declared net
V3 C3 lower bound confirmed
A rectangle density of wand125/square-packing-bounds, checked at coverage one on a net it declares and published on 6 October 2026, proves = 6.775.
The certificate is a density of 376 uniform rectangles in D4 orbits, and no point mass, of total mass 4099999/100000, on the net T-096's certificate declares: core side 999/1000 and 416 half-angle tangents of step 1/1001. Since 999/1000 (1 + 1/1001) = 500499/500500 < 1, and the last tangent 415/1001 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 416 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 169/25 = 6.76, the source's rectangle certificate rect_n41_L676 and the reported (T-068) and verified (T-074) lower bound at before it, by 0.015.
The certificate was decided here on 6 October 2026 by sqverify-fast, this repository's clean-room measure verifier, at all 416 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 409 and 415, 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.
Significance, composition and next rung
- Significance
- The strongest verified lower bound on record at , by 0.015 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.
- Composition
- One primary certificate on its reported entry and its replay entry. The replay is sqverify-fast at all 416 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 416 directions (devtools.audit_wand125_declared_net cpp-sample, about 37 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.
