T-126: Undilated n51 construction over Q(sqrt2)
V3 C3 upper bound confirmed
Complete independently reviewed exact replay, independently re-implemented, confirms the undilated 51-square construction ceiling <= (16+5sqrt(2))/3. This is finite feasibility, not equality with the optimum or the unconfirmed source contact count.
Significance, composition and next rung
- Significance
- A simpler degree-two exact construction ceiling at 51; no optimum established.
- 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
