§1 · the machine

How a conjecture becomes a certificate

the machine
Generate at scale, screen in float, certify the survivors exactly. Select any node for what it does — every count is read off ledger.json at build time.

The loop this repository runs. Families supply objects and mathematics; the engine supplies scale and bookkeeping; the instruments alone decide. REJECT and REFUSED are terminal by design — only a certificate reaches the ledger, the gates run on every build, and every page is rebuilt from the ledger alone.

ramanujan-audita published Ramanujan Machine conjecture re-evaluated as a rigorous enclosure and decided against the claimed closed form — survival certified to the enclosure width, refutation proved (and, for their corpus, a discovery)525252 → 51exhausted
strassen-audita claimed fast matrix-multiplication algorithm — a rank-r decomposition of the (n,m,p) tensor — whose defining identity (nm·mp·np exact equations) is VERIFIED over the claimed ring with r strictly below the naive nmp; the C-layout convention is detected and recorded, never assumed111111 → 10exhausted

The screen is float and may only ever prune; nothing is admitted without an exact certificate. A family plugs in by supplying six functions — enumerate, value, interesting, certify, key, statement — and inherits the loop, the scale and the dedup.

Each row is an exact enclosure, not a measurement. The last column is the engine asking whether the value has a small closed form: every candidate lying outside the enclosure is refuted exactly. The Ramanujan Machine matches truncated decimals and argues from collision probability; this decides.

§4 · closed forms

What survived the enclosure test

Nothing survived, and that is the result

54,629,173 candidate closed forms were tested against certified enclosures around 1e−15 wide, and 54,628,275 were refuted exactly — the value provably lies outside. Zero survivors means these objects have no small closed form of the shapes searched: a proved negative, not a failed search.

The count decomposes with nothing folded in: 54,629,173 tested = 54,628,275 refuted in double + 21 refuted exactly in BigInt + 877 with the form already on the OEIS record + 0 open + 0 surviving. Forms the 17-digit double screen could not separate were re-decided at the full published digit length in BigInt; forms OEIS already states are the record check working, not discoveries; the subtraction closes to zero and the engine refuses to write a ledger where it does not.

Anchors from the literature and the source lab, plus objects this lab certified and then adopted. Both stored as witness sets and re-certified at load, so no value is transcribed. Frozen at load — the bar never moves under a running campaign, or a candidate's verdict would depend on when it was proposed.

The bars at n = 10 and n = 17 MOVED in August 2026 — bar(10) to 1.3782 past Boyd's 1986 witness, bar(17) to 1.8999 via the certified n = 13 box champion — because the exhaustive box30 sweeps behind certs/mu-table.json certified minima exceeding what the literature and the source lab held. A returning reader's remembered bar is stale because the mathematics improved, not because anything drifted; the rows tagged "adopted here" are exactly those promotions.

Staleness audit: clean — nothing certified sits above the envelope unadopted.

Lifted from the source lab: 99 files, 4 patched on the way in, each patch declared. Drift now: 99 unchanged · 0 source moved · 0 local edited · 0 source gone. The source lab (sin-mfg) is read-only, permanently — read anything, never write, and report an error there rather than repair it.
