T-117: Exact rational ceiling refinements at , 292
V3 C3 upper bound confirmed
Complete exact replay, independently re-implemented, confirms the finite rational upper-bound refinement at , 292. Only finite feasibility enters; no optimality claim is registered.
Significance, composition and next rung
- Significance
- Certificate refinements of existing constructions; tiny exact improvements over newer retrieved certificates, with no solved case or new arrangement.
- Composition
- The exact half-angle map gives unit frames; translating each already repaired source center by S/2 gives the lower-left frame. The complete rational side is authoritative and no coordinate or side is rounded.
- Next rung
- C4 requires two distinct accepted confirming adversarial reviews and an actual human oversight record; neither publication nor input admission supplies them.
- Novelty
- previously-published Present in an identified source
