T-125: Complete rational construction reports at 25 counts

V3 C3 upper bound confirmed

2026-10-08 published · ry-xu · 25 cases, n=51 to 295

Complete independently reviewed exact replay, independently re-implemented, confirms finite feasibility of all 25 rational source certificates. Superseded configurations retain their complete inputs and outcomes; no optimality or local-minimum theorem.

Significance, composition and next rung
Significance
Rational certificates improve the pre-intake ceilings at 18 counts; 17 are currently selected alongside separate radical n51. No solved case or lower-bound theorem.
Next rung
C4 requires two distinct accepted confirming adversarial reviews and an actual human oversight record; neither drawing nor admission supplies them.
Novelty
previously-published Present in an identified source

The cases

This result concerns 25 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.
