T-115: at twelve counts, from the SQUISH update’s new and smaller rational packings
V3 C3 upper bound confirmed
Nate Chaoweeraprasit (itsnaka), using SQUISH, establishes feasible rational packing upper bounds for , 126, 129, 154, 155, 179, 208, 237, 238, 239, 258, 263. Seven counts are additional and five tighten the original release. Complete exact rational dual replay accepts all twelve unchanged source sides; both full-size geometric controls are rejected. n153 is identical to its earlier certificate and remains on its original evidence. Optimality and rigidity are not established.
Significance, composition and next rung
- Significance
- Twelve confirmed case-bound improvements, adding seven counts and tightening five submitted bounds; no exact optimum or general theorem is established.
- Composition
- Exact rational half-angle facts are converted without rounding or dilation. Both independently implemented deciding routes inspect every pair and wall. The completed reviewer replay is reused and its full twelve scoped inputs and verdicts retained, with two rejected complete 123-square controls. Fast checks bind current source facts, revision-specific witness metadata, complete semantic input, typed coverage and safe decimal ceilings. Explicit --replay repeats both decisions. Two accepted scoped AI reviews address shared conversion and semantic premises.
- Next rung
- V4/C4 require a retained human oversight record for the claim, certificates, assumptions, deciding implementations and accepted AI reviews. Rung 5 requires reviewed proof-assistant formalization. No independently audited human oversight is retained.
- Novelty
- previously-published Present in an identified source
The cases
This result concerns 12 cases, too many to draw one by one. Each is listed with the film’s bounds, the proved lower bound and the best known side, and links to its case record, where its packing and number line are drawn.
