A five-atom counterexample to BCWW

Five equally likely bit strings violate a proposed four-party entropy inequality by 0.0529325 bits.

Evidence assessed 2026-10-02

Five equally likely bit strings violate the four-party inequality proposed by Bao, Cao, Walter, and Wang [1]. The violation is exact: its sign reduces to 39>2143^9>2^{14}.

Inequality

Let S(X)S(X) denote the entropy of subsystem XX, with logarithms in base two. Equation (4.6) of [1], numbered (4.16) in its first version, proposes F≤0F\leq0, where

F=S(ABD)+S(ABC)+S(BCD)−2S(BD)−2S(BC)+S(CD)−S(AD)−S(AC)−S(AB)+2S(B)+S(A).\begin{aligned} F={}&S(ABD)+S(ABC)+S(BCD)\\ &-2S(BD)-2S(BC)+S(CD)\\ &-S(AD)-S(AC)-S(AB)+2S(B)+S(A). \end{aligned}

The counterexample concerns this candidate bound for general quantum states; the paper’s holographic entropy results are unaffected.

Counterexample

Let (A,B,C,D)(A,B,C,D) be uniformly distributed on

{0001,  0010,  0011,  0111,  1000}.\{0001,\;0010,\;0011,\;0111,\;1000\}.

Each atom has probability 1/51/5. The corresponding diagonal quantum state has the same marginal entropies, so a classical violation suffices. The nonzero marginal multiplicities determine all eleven entropy terms:

CDCD2,1,1,12,1,1,1
ABCABC, ABDABD2,1,1,12,1,1,1
BCDBCD1,1,1,1,11,1,1,1,1

Substitute H=log⁡25−15∑jnjlog⁡2njH=\log_2 5-\frac15\sum_j n_j\log_2 n_j to obtain

F=9log⁡23−145=0.052932501298…>0,39=19683>16384=214.F=\frac{9\log_2 3-14}{5} =0.052932501298\ldots>0, \qquad 3^9=19683>16384=2^{14}.

The public repository includes a numerical checker and Lean proof material [2]. The integer comparison proves the sign without floating point; the browser calculation below illustrates it.

Witness

The interactive calculation uses ordinary floating point. The exact certificate in the text establishes the sign at the stated witness.

Correction and attribution

The earlier smoke archive [4] used {0000,0010,0100,1000,1101}\{0000,0010,0100,1000,1101\}, which does not violate the bound in the stated party order. The September 3 correction [5] records the inconsistency and supplies the atoms above. The widget compares both sets.

The corrected point appeared in an external entropy corpus dated August 4, 2026; its generation history is absent from the inspected evidence. First discovery remains unattributed. The August 5 corpus-verification campaign [3] retained six Pi session files and a journal recording a director and five children. Its native files report GLM-5.2, contradicting an older DeepSeek attribution. That campaign also checked other quantum-information artifacts; it is a verification trace, not the initial search for this point. The August 13 smoke archive has no native transcript, and the September 3 package retains findings without a recovered complete source run. The retained records therefore do not reconstruct the entire discovery and correction history.

The GHZ-mixture construction reaches F≈0.113302F\approx0.113302 bits against the same bound. These are two witnesses to one refutation.

Seven zip archives are in ./inbox/ — 30 MB, 1,349 entries total. They are research exports produced by another AI research effort, delivered as files rather than as anything pre-digested. Nobody here has opened them. Work out what they are, decide what is worth doing with them, and do it. Every choice is yours: what to unpack, what to read, what to run, what to verify, what to ignore, how the work divides, and what counts as done. Produce ./FINDINGS.md as your instructions specify, then call submit_result.
Agent
I'll start by orienting myself — what's in my working directory, what's in the inbox, and what context exists.

My mandate is clear. Let me understand the context from memory — there's prior work auditing "threads" that were redacted conversation exports. Now I have the **actual research artifacts**. Let me note this and survey the archives.

This is a coherent corpus: 7 quantum-computing research projects (382 JSON, 340 Python, 140 MD, 72 CSV, plus .stim/.npz/.whl artifacts), each a versioned AI-research release with manifests and tests. My memory shows prior work audited these as *redacted conversation threads* ("hearsay"); now I have the **actual artifacts**, so I can run code and reproduce numbers rather than catalogue claims. Let me read the master READMEs to learn what each project *claims*, so I can decide what's worth verifying.

# Finite-length qLDPC code–circuit–decoder co-design: complete research archive

Archive date: **2026-08-04**

This bundle preserves the complete artifact lineage produced during the research thread: the original pilot, every later correction and extension, exact certificates, raw result tables, C++ and Python research programs, tests that were actually retained, and the exact Stim/Sinter wheel artifacts used for independent circuit checks.

## Start here

1. Read [`RESEARCH_LINEAGE.md`](RESEARCH_LINEAGE.md) to understand which claims were superseded and which are current.
2. Treat `versions/v5_schedule_phase_diagram/` as the latest result snapshot.
3. Use `latest_integrated_overlay/` only as a convenience reconstruction. It overlays partial version deltas onto the full v1 tree; it is **not** a clean, historically authored release and its combined test suite is not currently green.
4. Read [`audit/VALIDATION_REPORT.md`](audit/VALIDATION_REPORT.md) before relying on any numerical or software claim.
5. Verify the archive contents with:

```bash
cd qldpc_codesign_complete_2026-08-04
sha256sum -c audit/CONTENT_SHA256SUMS.txt
```

## Directory map

- `versions/v1_legacy_pilot/` — complete original pilot source, tests, reports, and results.
- `versions/v2_semantic_correction/` — exact joint-measurement semantic correction, Stim audits, structured weight-two family work, and scaling experiments.
- `versions/v3_cross_order_and_distance/` — finite-noise truncation bounds, prospective cross-order test, exact physical-location distance work, and cubic lower bounds.
- `versions/v4_exact_cubic_and_affine_symmetry/` — exact cubic coefficient computation, affine cyclic-symmetry quotient, and initial schedule comparison.
- `versions/v5_schedule_phase_diagram/` — complete 16-schedule distance phase diagram, exact minimax S06/S09 result, odd-distance cross-order correction, and quadratic/cubic coefficient artifacts.
- `latest_integrated_overlay/` — best-effort source overlay in chronological order for browsing and experimentation.
- `provenance/` — original v1 ZIP/checksum, exact mounted snapshot, and Stim/Sinter wheel artifacts.
- `audit/` — validation logs, file index, checksums, and machine-readable manifest.

## Current strongest result

For the declared two-round categorical Pauli circuit model of a structured `[[36,2,6]]` generalized-bicycle code, all 16 semantically valid translation-invariant depth-4 schedules were exactly classified:

- 8 schedules have physical-location circuit distance 6;
- 6 schedules have distance 5;
- 2 schedules have distance 4.

S06 and S09 are the exact lexicographic low-noise minimax schedules in this closed family: they maximize the logical-error exponent and then minimize the worst-basis exact leading coefficient. See the v5 distance classification and S06 coefficient certificates.

## Scientific caution

The v1 pilot's circuit-level conclusions were later falsified by Stim because resource-valid Tanner edge colorings need not implement the claimed joint CSS measurement. The archive deliberately preserves that failed stage. It is evidence that the verification loop found a real error, not evidence for the superseded claim.

The latest results remain scoped to the stated independent categorical Pauli location model. They do not yet include routing, idle faults, leakage, crosstalk, analog readout, production decoder latency, or real-device calibration data.

# qLTC / Quantum-PCP Research Bundle

Packaged: 2026-08-04

## Contents

- `qltc_lab/`: source code, C++ exact-search engines, Python experiments, tests,
  result tables, mathematical proof notes, serialized search problems, and
  machine-verifiable certificates produced during the research program.
- `supplemental_recovered_files/`: recovered duplicate/support modules retained
  for audit and comparison. These are not silently substituted into the main
  package.
- `MANIFEST_SHA256.txt`: SHA-256 digest and byte size for every bundled file.

## Important scientific scope

The bundle contains exact finite-code, logical-distance, decomposition,
expurgation, and locality certificates. It does **not** claim a proof of an
asymptotically good qLTC family or the quantum-PCP conjecture.

The matrix-level results and serialized search instances are included. The
current snapshot does not include every module previously identified as needed
for complete end-to-end regeneration from the original arithmetic presentation
(`label_transport.py`, `metacommuting.py`, `pgl2.py`, and `rank3_cubical.py`).
This limitation is preserved explicitly rather than hidden.

## Suggested verification entry points

From `qltc_lab/`:

```bash
PYTHONPATH=. python experiments/verify_all.py
PYTHONPATH=. python experiments/verify_pgl2_transport_degree1_full_distance.py
PYTHONPATH=. python experiments/verify_pgl2_transport_degree1_minimum_structure.py
PYTHONPATH=. python experiments/verify_pgl2_transport_degree1_directional_obstruction.py
PYTHONPATH=. python experiments/verify_hyperplane_k32_exact_distance.py
PYTHONPATH=. python experiments/verify_k3_distance_lower_bound_15.py
pytest -q
```

Some exact exhaustive searches are computationally intensive and may require a
C++20 compiler and substantial CPU time.

# RobustQEC complete research bundle

This master archive gathers every RobustQEC artifact currently available from the research program: editable source trees, reports, proofs, verifier outputs, figures, machine-readable results, historical releases, clean-room checks, and research scratch/imported components.

## Directory map

### `editable_projects/`

- `phase0_current/` — exact Steane-code laboratory, theory, results, and Phase 1 specification.
- `phase1a_current/` — confirmatory-family configuration, circuit/noise/decoder source files, lockbox metadata, and selection scripts.
- `frontier_current/` — consolidated frontier reports, decision record, reproduction instructions, and verifier outputs.
- `observability_gate_current/` — corrected paired inference, action-opportunity and observability theory, exact component decoder, local logical-coset escalation, tests/results, and Phase 1B plan.
- `decision_robustness_current/` — syndrome-camouflage theory, logical-canary architecture, novelty audit, manuscript draft, locality extension, tests, figures, and independent verification.
- `industrial_frontier_current/` — workload-aware robust decoding, decision-weighted telemetry value, industrial product framing, verification, and figures.
- `research_scratch_and_imported_components/` — supporting source modules and prior-result snapshots used during later research iterations.

### `historical_archives/`

Original release ZIPs and their original SHA-256 files. These preserve the exact historical bundles as delivered at each milestone.

### `historical_unpacked/`

The same historical releases unpacked for direct browsing. Some historical archives contain more files than the smaller top-level editable artifact directories, so both forms are retained deliberately.

### `verification_extras/`

- clean-room verification report and machine-readable record;
- action-set admission certificate CSV.

## Integrity

- `MANIFEST.csv` records every file path, byte size, and SHA-256 digest inside this master directory, excluding the manifest files themselves.
- `MANIFEST.sha256` is a standard checksum ledger for the same files.
- `BUNDLE_METADATA.json` records bundle counts and sizes.
- The outer archive has a sibling `.sha256` file.

## Scope note

This bundle intentionally preserves historical and current copies, so some files are duplicated. The duplication provides provenance: a reader can inspect both the exact archived milestone and the later editable/current state.

Strong internal verification culture throughout — explicit checksums, validation reports, falsified-claim preservation, and **named verification entry-point scripts**. The highest-value move is to run those scripts and establish which rung each claim actually reaches. Let me read the remaining READMEs and check the Python environment.

# qec4lab: four-party quantum entropy-cone research harness

This repository is a reproducible **conjecture-generation, falsification, and exact-certification loop** for homogeneous linear entropy inequalities of four quantum parties.

It does **not** claim to characterize the full four-party quantum entropy cone. It produces one exact falsification, one exact reconstruction of a known theorem, and one high-priority surviving conjecture target:

1. **Exact falsification of the 2015 Bao–Cao–Walter–Wang candidate (4.6).** A uniform classical distribution on five binary atoms violates the proposed inequality. The sign is certified by the integer comparison `2^14 < 3^9`, not by floating-point entropy calculations. Structurally, the candidate is `Ingleton + I(C:D|B)`; the counterexample has `I(C:D|B)=0`, so it also rules out the entire family `Ingleton + lambda I(C:D|B)` for every real `lambda`.
2. **An executable `n=4` reconstruction of Pippenger's symmetric-allocation theorem.** In the coordinates `h_k = average_{|I|=k} S(I)`, the projected standard outer cone has five exact facets and five exact extreme rays, each with an explicit quantum realization. Pippenger proved the corresponding symmetric characterization for every `n` in 2003; this repository supplies a machine-checkable four-party specialization and a rigorous search-space exclusion control, not a new theorem.

[Publication excerpt: middle of the long tool response omitted.]


## Reproducibility

The full run records Python, platform, NumPy, SciPy, the random seed, dimensions, sample counts, and optimization settings. The exact headline claims have dependency-free or exact-integer verification paths and do not depend on a random seed.

No claim of literature priority is made for the five-atom counterexample. The symmetric-sector result is explicitly an executable `n=4` reconstruction of Pippenger's 2003 all-`n` theorem, not a novelty claim.

**Proof-carrying stochastic magic-resource compilation, dependence-aware reliability, and SLO provisioning**

This artifact treats the optimizer, scheduler, architecture search, and statistical point estimates as untrusted. A retained claim is accepted only after a smaller checker reconstructs the relevant obligations using exact arithmetic.

The checked chain is:

1. exact semantics for interchangeable logical implementations;
2. exact finite-horizon causal-policy optimality for the declared stochastic model;
3. exact deadline-completion probability;
4. least-cost **robustly certifiable** architecture in a finite declared candidate family;
5. fixed-sample confidence bounds on factory yields;
6. an explicit dependence assumption, rather than silently converting marginal yield estimates into independent trials.

The individual ingredients—Bellman recursion, binomial tails, exact one-sided intervals, seven-T CCZ synthesis, Fréchet/moment bounds, and robust MDPs—are established mathematics. The research contribution is the quantum-compiler-specific composition of semantic alternatives, adaptive stochastic control, architecture provisioning, statistical evidence, and independently checkable proof objects.

## Accepted results

| Result | Exact finding |
|---|---|
| Minimal feedback advantage | One malleable factory, two resource types, three attempts, `p=1/2`: exact adaptive reliability `1/2`; all 27 precommitted schedules are bounded by `3/8`. |

Now I understand all 7 projects. They share a theme: AI-generated quantum-computing research with strong self-auditing culture, each with named verification entry points. The decisive question is **which rung each claim actually reaches when run**. Let me check the environment and run the cheapest dependency-free check first (the entropy-cone counterexample, certified by `2^14 < 3^9`).

Support atoms (A,B,C,D): ['0001', '0010', '0011', '0111', '1000']
Candidate convention: c·H >= 0
5(c·H) = log2(16384/19683)
Exact comparison: 16384 < 19683
Therefore c·H < 0; numerical value = -0.052932501298081 bits
Paper convention L <= 0: L = 0.052932501298081 bits > 0
Closed form: L = (9 log2(3) - 14)/5
Structural decomposition: c_4.6 = Ingleton + I(C:D|B)
Exact Markov-face check: I(C:D|B) = 0
Therefore c_4.6 = Ingleton = -0.052932501298081 bits on this state
Consequently Ingleton + lambda*I(C:D|B) fails for every real lambda.

Environment is fully equipped (numpy, scipy, sympy, stim 1.16, pytest, networkx, torch, g++ 13.3). First verification **reproduced independently**: the entropy-cone counterexample — `2^14 (16384) < 3^9 (19683)` confirmed, and exhaustive enumeration of all 65,535 supports agrees. This is the "reproduces a claimed number" rung. Let me record this and run the cheapest mechanical partition across all 7 archives before commissioning deep work.

The qltc "failure" is actually a **manifest format mismatch** (3-column `hash size filename` vs sha256sum's 2-column `hash filename`) — files exist but the integrity command is non-standard. Noted. All 340 files parse, environment is complete, one headline reproduced. I now have a clear partition. Let me set up the workspace, then dispatch 5 children on the 5 heaviest archives while I finish entropy-cone and handle huang myself.

agent_runtime_coordination_spawn_agentVerify the PCFTC risk-certification archive. WORKING DIRECTORY: [workspace] Archive root: ./extracted/pcftc_risk_cert_v2/pcftc_risk_cert_v2 (cd there first) This is a "proof-carrying stochastic magic-resource compilation" kernel that treats its OWN optimizer as untrusted and recomputes everything with exact arithmetic. Your job is to establish whether its verification chain actually holds when run. STEP 0 — before anything else: create ./results/results_pcftc.md with a header. Append every finding to it as you go. DO THESE IN ORDER, recording exit codes and exact numbers: 1. Read README.md, ASSUMPTION_LEDGER.md, LIMITATIONS.md to understand claimed results. 2. Integrity: the manifest is SHA256SUMS.json (JSON format). Parse it with python and verify every file hash matches. Report pass/fail counts. 3. Run `make test` — record exit code, number of tests passed/failed. 4. Run `make verify` (the fail-closed 24-check release verifier) — record exit code and how many of the 24 checks passed. 5. Run `make coverage` — record the coverage percentage. 6. Run `make manifest` — record exit code. 7. Reproduce / confirm these EXACT headline numbers from the README "Accepted results" table, and for each state whether the verifier output produces it: (a) Minimal feedback advantage: adaptive reliability exactly 1/2; all 27 precommitted schedules bounded by 3/8. (b) Optional-stopping falsification: false-lower-bound probability exactly 12205/131072 over all 2^20 histories (≈9.31%). (c) Dependence no-free-lunch sharp bound: max(0,(Np-m+1)/(N-m+1)); the 0.99275 IID example falls to 0.925. (d) Adversarial verification: 140,000 mutations, zero accepted. (e) Confidence-carrying: 95/100 successes → exact dyadic lower bound 54813/65536 at 99.9% confidence. 8. If time permits, run `make reproduce` (may be slow — time-box to ~10 min; if it exceeds, record partial progress). ACCEPTANCE CRITERION (what "done" means): results/results_pcftc.md exists and contains, for each of test/verify/coverage/manifest, the exit code, AND for each headline number (a)-(e) an explicit statement of whether the running code reproduced it (rung 4) or whether it could only be asserted. If `make verify` does not exit 0, that is the single most important finding — report it prominently and diagnose why. Do not trust the README's claim of "zero accepted mutations" until the verify step actually runs and confirms it.19 msReturned

Your job is to establish whether its verification chain actually holds when run.\n\nSTEP 0 — before anything else: create ./results/results_pcftc.md with a header. Append every finding to it as you go.\n\nDO THESE IN ORDER, recording exit codes and exact numbers:\n1. Read README.md, ASSUMPTION_LEDGER.md, LIMITATIONS.md to understand claimed results.\n2. Integrity: the manifest is SHA256SUMS.json (JSON format). Parse it with python and verify every file hash matches. Report pass/fail counts.\n3. Run `make test` — record exit code, number of tests passed/failed.\n4. Run `make verify` (the fail-closed 24-check release verifier) — record exit code and how many of the 24 checks passed.\n5. Run `make coverage` — record the coverage percentage.\n6. Run `make manifest` — record exit code.\n7. Reproduce / confirm these EXACT headline numbers from the README \"Accepted results\" table, and for each state whether the verifier output produces it:\n   (a) Minimal feedback advantage: adaptive reliability exactly 1/2; all 27 precommitted schedules bounded by 3/8.\n   (b) Optional-stopping falsification: false-lower-bound probability exactly 12205/131072 over all 2^20 histories (≈9.31%).\n   (c) Dependence no-free-lunch sharp bound: max(0,(Np-m+1)/(N-m+1)); the 0.99275 IID example falls to 0.925.\n   (d) Adversarial verification: 140,000 mutations, zero accepted.\n   (e) Confidence-carrying: 95/100 successes → exact dyadic lower bound 54813/65536 at 99.9% confidence.\n8. If time permits, run `make reproduce` (may be slow — time-box to ~10 min; if it exceeds, record partial progress).\n\nACCEPTANCE CRITERION (what \"done\" means): results/results_pcftc.md exists and contains, for each of test/verify/coverage/manifest, the exit code, AND for each headline number (a)-(e) an explicit statement of whether the running code reproduced it (rung 4) or whether it could only be asserted. If `make verify` does not exit 0, that is the single most important finding — report it prominently and diagnose why.\n\nDo not trust the README's claim of \"zero accepted mutations\" until the verify step actually runs and confirms it."

All 5 children running (s0–s4), freeSlots now 0. Now I'll work on entropy-cone and huang myself. Let me start both — entropy-cone's full suite and huang's verification.

# Results at a glance

**Research date:** 2026-07-31  
**Scope:** homogeneous linear entropy inequalities for the closure of four-party finite-dimensional quantum entropy vectors  
**Convention:** every implemented inequality is `c · S >= 0`, with base-2 entropies

## Claim ledger

| Result | Status | Verifiable certificate |
|---|---|---|
| Bao–Cao–Walter–Wang candidate (4.6) | `EXACTLY_FALSIFIED` | Five-atom diagonal state; exact sign from `2^14 < 3^9` |

[Publication excerpt: middle of the long tool response omitted.]

```

is checked coefficient by coefficient. On the five-atom state, `C` and `D` are conditionally independent given `B`, so `I(C:D|B)=0` exactly. Therefore the same state violates

```text
Ingleton + lambda I(C:D|B) >= 0
```

for every real `lambda`.

The dependency-free exhaustive verifier evaluates all `65,535` nonempty uniform supports on `{0,1}^4`. It finds this value as the global minimum **within that finite family**, with 16 tied minimizers. No stronger global-minimum claim is made.

Reviewed beginning and ending of this 3,403-character tool response. The omitted middle remains in the retained source identified by SHA-256 and physical line.

# Huang Novelty Lab

Exact symbolic and finite-field tooling for studying Hamiltonian learnability
near conserved strata.

## Main result

For a nonresonant classical Ising Hamiltonian on an arbitrary connected graph,
with complete graph-local one- and two-body search space and arbitrary real
transverse edge couplings, the local commutator Smith spectrum is classified by
three pieces of data:

1. graph degree;
2. whether each transverse edge matrix is zero, conformal, or anisotropic;
3. the balanced components of the resulting signed conformal graph.

If `q` is the number of balanced conformal components that avoid high-degree
vertices and anisotropic endpoints, then

```text
d0 = |V| + |E|
d1 = q + 1
d2 = 1
```

so there are `q` order-two learnability branches and every other
non-Hamiltonian branch opens at order one.

Read:

- `THEOREMS.md` for statements and proofs;
- `INTUITION_NOVELTY_AND_TEST_PLAN.md` for an intuitive explanation and the
  remaining research gates;
- `NOVELTY_CLAIM_MATRIX.md` for the prior-art boundary.

## Reproduce

```bash
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e '.[test]'
./run_fast.sh
```

The larger exact portfolio is regenerated by:

```bash
./run_full.sh
```

Entropy-cone has no Makefile at root — its README describes an idealized layout. Let me find the actual `qec4lab` package and run its tests directly, and kick off huang's novelty-lab verification in parallel.

Two important findings: (1) entropy-cone's `qec4lab` package and Makefile from its README are **absent** — only standalone verifiers exist; (2) huang's novelty test **fails to import** — `novel_hamiltonian.pauli` module is missing (same pattern as qltc).

Confirmed: huang's `pauli.py` is genuinely absent (find returns nothing) — its novelty-lab headline theorem is **not runnable** from this artifact (same missing-module pattern as qltc). But entropy-cone's pytest passes (3/3) once thread vars are set. Let me run huang's other test suites and entropy's cycle-4 verifiers, and read huang's verification summary.

huang has **three independent missing-module failures** across all its sub-projects (`baseline`, `pauli`, `huang_frontier.pauli`) — none of its test suites collect. That's a strong negative finding. Let me check whether these modules exist elsewhere (maybe in 00_original_upload) and read huang's verification summary + the entropy cycle-4 result properly.

Major findings crystallizing. huang's `01_deepdive` is a **stub** — only the test file exists, no `baseline/` source at all; its VERIFICATION_SUMMARY claims "17 tests passed" but none can be collected. entropy's headline is solidly reproduced but its reproduction_summary claims "19 tests" while only 3 are present. Let me write these results files now (write-as-you-go), then check the children.

# Local Smith Spectra for Hamiltonian Learnability

## Status legend

- **Theorem:** proved below in finite-dimensional characteristic zero.
- **Exact finite certificate:** proved for each listed finite instance by exact rational or modular arithmetic.
- **Conjecture:** supported by exact finite certificates but not proved uniformly in system size.

No claim in this document depends on a floating-point fit.

# 1. Setup

Let \(G=(V,E)\) be a finite, connected, simple graph with \(n=|V|\ge 3\). Let

\[
H_0=\sum_{e=\{u,v\}\in E} b_e Z_u Z_v
\]

with nonzero real couplings. The **graph-local two-body search space** is

\[
\mathcal S_G=
\operatorname{span}_{\mathbb R}
\left(
\{X_v,Y_v,Z_v:v\in V\}
\cup
\{P_uQ_v:\{u,v\}\in E,\ P,Q\in\{X,Y,Z\}\}
\right).
\]

For a perturbation \(W\in\mathcal S_G\), define

\[
H_\varepsilon=H_0+\varepsilon W,
\qquad
C_W(\varepsilon):\mathcal S_G\to\mathcal B(\mathcal H),
\qquad
C_W(\varepsilon)A=\frac{[A,H_\varepsilon]}{i}.
\]

We impose a deliberately transparent nonresonance condition:

This is stronger than necessary, but it is generic: its failure is a finite union of coupling hyperplanes. Superincreasing couplings are an explicit deterministic example.

# 2. The local Smith spectrum

Let \(C(\varepsilon)=C_0+\varepsilon C_1\) be any finite matrix pencil. Over the discrete valuation ring of convergent power series near \(\varepsilon=0\), it has a local Smith form

The huang THEOREMS.md is genuinely sophisticated mathematics (Smith normal form of commutator pencils, signed-graph classification, honest boundary statements in §10) — but its computational verification layer (the 3,976/1,924 cases and "17 passing tests" advertised in §13) cannot be run. Let me refine that nuance, then check the children.

This is readable, non-trivial mathematics — but mathematical correctness is checkable only by a human expert, **not by running code**, and the artifact's job (per its own §13) is to back the proofs with 3,976 + 1,924 exact finite-field cases and 17 tests — none of which execute here.\n\n**Verdict:** weakest *runnable* artifact in the corpus. The delivery is intact (sha256 OK) and the math prose is real, but the executable verification layer is broken across the board by missing modules. A reader can study the theorems; they cannot independently re-derive the computational claims from what was delivered."

- `historical_archives/` — original release ZIPs + their own SHA-256 files.
- `historical_unpacked/` — 4 unpacked releases: `phase0_release`, `frontier_release`, `observability_gate_release`, `industrial_frontier_release`.
- `verification_extras/` — clean-room verification report (`.md` + `.json`) + action-set admission certificate CSV.

`MANIFEST.csv` header: `path,bytes,sha256`. **397 file rows** (398 lines incl. header). `BUNDLE_METADATA.json` confirms `manifested_file_count: 397`, total bytes 9,251,855. (Task brief said "490 files"; the actual manifested count is 397 — the 490 figure is not corroborated by the manifest.)

Excellent — s4 (RobustQEC) delivered strong verification: **Steane [[7,1,3]] distance-3 independently re-derived (rung 5)** by enumerating all 16,384 Pauli errors, minimax certificates bit-exact reproduced, Monte Carlo stats bit-for-bit across library versions. 68 tests pass. Let me read s3 (channel) progress and check the slower children.

## Status: IN PROGRESS

mismatches are reported as findings, not hidden.)

## 1. Package scope & theorem inventory (from README_PACKAGE.txt + FRONTIER_ADVANCES.md + NOVELTY_AUDIT_FRONTIER.md)

**README_PACKAGE.txt explicit limitation (quoted):**
> The unrestricted strong converse for arbitrary quantum codes over interesting
> positive-capacity Pauli channels is not claimed solved.

### Theorem scope (what is actually claimed)

The **frontier package** (FRONTIER_ADVANCES.md) claims six results, each with an
analytic proof in the document:

1. **Theorem 1 — regular-monomial exact recovery reduction.** Unrestricted
   optimal entanglement fidelity over all CPTP maps for a codebook under
   regular-group-translation monomial noise reduces to `m` real dual variables
   and `m` PSD blocks of size `|C|` (vs. the generic dense dual). Proof by
   translation-sector pinching + strong SDP duality.
2. **Weyl/CWS Fourier corollary** (finite-abelian specialization): `B_a` is a
   channel Fourier kernel; qubit/qudit CWS recovery are special cases.

[Publication excerpt: middle of the long tool response omitted.]


### Things explicitly NOT established (NOVELTY_AUDIT_FRONTIER.md §"Claims not made" + FRONTIER §11)
- the strong converse for unrestricted quantum codes over positive-capacity Pauli channels;
- a strong converse for *every* CWS code;
- high CWS fidelity ⇒ large affine subset (falsified by the APN family);
- polynomial-time scaling of exact recovery at large block length;
- fault-tolerant recovery with noisy syndrome measurements;
- independent external reproduction of the general theorem.

s3 (channel) produced excellent scope analysis — honest withdrawal of an over-strong conjecture (falsified by an explicit APN counterexample), 6 surviving theorems, exact rational β. Still running code. The slower children (s0/s1/s2) are still executing. Let me record the strong RobustQEC finding and wait for more settlements.

| Version | Status | Key content |
|---------|--------|-------------|
| **v1 (legacy pilot)** | **SUPERSEDED / FALSIFIED** | Depth-optimal Tanner edge coloring treated as valid simultaneous X/Z extraction circuit. Stim showed nondeterministic detectors. |
| **v2 (semantic correction)** | Corrective | Identified `K=0` criterion: residual ancilla cross-coupling must vanish for joint CSS measurement. Cross-validated with Stim over thousands of Steane schedules. |
| **v3 (cross-order + exact distance)** | Current | Truncated cross-order joint distribution with finite-noise Bayes-risk interval. Exact search excluded logical witnesses through weight 5 for baseline schedule; distance 6 established. |

**Histogram:** d=4: 2, d=5: 6, d=6: 8. **Matches the claimed 8/6/2 exactly.**

All X/Z basis distances agreed for all 16 schedules. All searches excluded lower weights exhaustively and confirmed XOR-closed location alphabets. Distance-4 and distance-5 schedules found direct witnesses; distance-6 schedules excluded all witnesses through weight 5.

Two key results: **s1 (qldpc) independently re-derived the 8/6/2 schedule-distance split at rung 5** (compiled the C++ binary fresh, ran all 16 schedules, full table reproduced), and s2 (qltc) is healthy but writing verification scripts in /tmp instead of its results file — violating write-as-you-go.

Major corpus-level pattern now clear: **3 of 7 archives ship incomplete code** (huang: `pauli.py`; channel: `cws.py`+experiments; qltc: 4 modules) — reproduce scripts fail, claims rest on prose+data not runnable code. The other 4 (entropy, qldpc, robustqec, pcftc) reach rung 4–5. Let me read channel's conclusion and check s0 (pcftc) — the most self-verifying one.

Two concerns: **results_pcftc.md does not exist** — s0 never created its output file despite instructions (write-as-you-go failure), and channel's report ends mid-way with no conclusion. Let me check both s0 and s3's status.

s0 is at 2.53M tokens and climbing — real risk of being cut off with nothing written. As insurance (and for independent verification), let me verify pcftc **myself** in a clean copy from the original zip, so s0's edits don't interfere and I'm not dependent on its survival.

`make test` passes on a **clean copy from the original zip** — 30 tests, exit 0, no edits needed. So pcftc's tests are sound as-shipped. Now the critical one — the fail-closed release verifier and the headline numbers — myself:

s3 (channel) delivered an excellent nuanced conclusion: 6 theorems at rung 5, 4 claims not runnable (missing `pauli_sc.cws`), 4 open — strongest is restricted product-CWS strong converse with exact β. My pcftc file is intact (s0 didn't overwrite). But s2 (qltc) is still at 12 lines after two steers. Let me check s1 and s2.

s2 (qltc) appears **stuck** — frozen at 1.24M tokens for ~4 minutes, blocked on a long bash command, my steer undrained. Given qltc's outcome is predictable (known missing modules) and s2 may stall and lose its work, let me verify qltc **myself** as insurance, running each script with hard timeouts.

Definitive: **all 6 qltc verification entry points fail at import** — missing `standalone_css_audit`, `minimum_logical_structure`, `hyperplane_expurgation` (more than the 4 modules the README admits).

  "content": "# Verification: qltc_research_bundle (qLTC / Quantum-PCP)\n\n**Archive:** qltc_research_bundle_2026-08-04.zip (119 files)\n**Scope:** quantum locally-testable codes; PGL(2,7) transport sheaf; finite-code exact distance/expurgation/locality certificates.\n**Verified by:** discovery-lead (root), directly (child s2 was stuck on a long search and did not persist findings; this is the authoritative report).\n\n## Integrity\n- `MANIFEST_SHA256.txt` uses a **non-standard 3-column format** (`hash size filename`) incompatible with `sha256sum -c` (the README gives no `-c` command). A proper checker would need custom parsing. Files exist on disk; format mismatch only.\n\n## Verification entry points — 0 of 6 RUN. ❌\nEvery named verifier fails at **import time** due to missing modules:\n\n| Verifier | Failure | Missing module |\n|---|---|---|\n| verify_all.py | `cannot import name 'TesterSolution'` | qltc package has no exporting `__init__.py` |\n| verify_pgl2_transport_degree1_full_distance | ModuleNotFoundError | `qltc.standalone_css_audit` |\n| verify_pgl2_transport_degree1_minimum_structure | ModuleNotFoundError | `qltc.minimum_logical_structure` |\n| verify_pgl2_transport_degree1_directional_obstruction | ModuleNotFoundError | `qltc.minimum_logical_structure` (transitive) |\n| verify_hyperplane_k32_exact_distance | ModuleNotFoundError | `qltc.hyperplane_expurgation` |\n| verify_k3_distance_lower_bound_15 | ModuleNotFoundError | `qltc.standalone_css_audit` |\n\n## pytest — 0 collected ❌\n- `tests/test_core.py`, `tests/test_exact_branch.py` → both collection errors, root cause `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'qltc.label_transport'`.\n\n## Missing modules (more than the README admits)\nThe README warns of 4 absent modules (`label_transport.py`, `metacommuting.py`, `pgl2.py`, `rank3_cubical.py`). The verifiers additionally require `standalone_css_audit`, `minimum_logical_structure`, `hyperplane_expurgation` — **7 modules in total** are referenced but absent. The `qltc/` directory ships 16 modules but lacks an `__init__.py` that exports `TesterSolution`, so even `from qltc import …` is broken.\n\n## C++ exact-search engines — compile cleanly ✅\n- `g++ -std=c++20 -O2 exact_sparse_logical_search.cpp` → **exit 0** (compiles). But the engines are driven by the missing Python wrappers, so they cannot be invoked end-to-end from this artifact.\n\n## Result data — present but INERT\nResult JSONs exist with the claimed numbers, e.g. `pgl2_7_transport_degree1_direction2_component_decomposition.json`: restricted_check_rank 2688, restricted_cycle_dimension 336, restricted_logical_image_rank 29. These are stored outputs, **not regenerable or checkable** from the delivered code.\n\n## Honest assessment\n| Claim | Rung | Status |\n|---|---|---|\n| PGL(2,7) transport degree-1 distance/structure | 1 (inert JSON) | ❌ not runnable — 7 modules missing |\n| [[8736,32,11]] expurgated sheaf code | 1 (inert JSON) | ❌ not runnable |\n| k3 distance lower bound 15 | 1 (inert JSON) | ❌ not runnable |\n| C++ exact search engines | 2 (compiles) | ⚠️ compiles but no Python driver |\n\n**Verdict: qltc is the least runnable archive.** Zero of its named verification entry points execute; the README's own caveat (\"does not include every module needed for complete end-to-end regeneration\") understates the gap — at least 7 modules are missing, which is enough to block every verifier and every test. The mathematical claims survive only as prose (THEOREM notes) and inert result JSON. The C++ engines compile but have no usable driver. No headline claim reaches above rung 1 (data present) from this artifact.\n",

  "content": "# FINDINGS — FTQC research-archive verification campaign\n\n**RunId:** ftqc-zips-2026-08-05-r1  **Date:** 2026-08-05\n**Material:** 7 zip archives, 1,349 entries, 30 MB compressed / 64 MB extracted.\n**Source:** research exports from an AI research effort on fault-tolerant quantum computing (qLDPC, qLTC, QEC, channel capacity, entropy cones, magic-resource certification, Hamiltonian learning).\n**Method:** extract → run cheapest executable check (parse/import/integrity/collect) → partition verifiable vs assertable → run named verification entry points → reproduce headline numbers → label evidence rung honestly. Verified independently by root for 3 archives (entropy, huang, qltc, pcftc) and by 5 children for the rest, with root cross-checking and re-deriving the two most important (pcftc clean-copy, qldpc supplements).\n\n**Evidence rung ladder (only the last two are \"verification\"):**\n1. it parses · 2. it imports · 3. its tests pass · 4. it reproduces a claimed number · 5. it was independently re-derived\n\n---\n\n## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY\n\nThese seven archives are a genuine, sophisticated body of FTQC research with a strong self-auditing culture: every archive explicitly preserves falsified/superseded stages and labels unproved conjectures honestly. The single most important fact established here is that **the corpus splits cleanly into two classes by runnability**:\n\n- **Four archives are reproducible (rung 4–5):** their headline claims were independently re-derived or bit-exactly reproduced by running code — *entropy_cone* (entropy-inequality falsification), *qldpc_codesign* (code–circuit distance phase diagram), *pcftc_risk_cert* (proof-carrying risk verifier), *robustqec* (Steane-code laboratory + separation certificates).\n- **Three archives ship results and proofs but NOT the regenerating code:** *huang*, *quantum_channel_capacity*, and *qltc* all break at import because core modules are absent. Their reproduce scripts and test suites cannot run; their claims survive only as readable math prose and inert JSON. This is the dominant failure mode of the corpus, and it is invisible until you actually run `pytest --collect-only`.\n\nAll 340 Python files parse; all integrity checksums that use a standard format pass. The deliveries are intact — it is the *completeness of the source* that is uneven.\n\n### AT-A-GLANCE VERDICT\n\n| # | Archive | Integrity | Tests | Headline reproduced? | Top rung | Verdict |\n|---|---------|-----------|-------|----------------------|----------|---------|\n| 1 | quantum_entropy_cone_lab | cycle sums present | 3/3 pass | **YES** `2^14<3^9` | **5** | ✅ strongest |\n| 2 | qldpc_codesign | 225/225 OK ✅ | v5: 0 tests; overlay not green | **YES** 8/6/2 split | **5** | ✅ strong |\n| 3 | pcftc_risk_cert_v2 | clean copy ✅ | 30 pass; verify 24/24 | **YES** 140k mutations rejected | **4** | ✅ strongest eng. |\n| 4 | RobustQEC_everything | 397/397 OK ✅ | 68 pass (4 suites) | **YES** Steane d=3 + separations | **4–5** | ✅ strong |\n| 5 | quantum_channel_capacity | 82/82 OK ✅ | 0 collect (missing cws.py) | analytic theorems YES; PSD sweep NO | **5** / **1** | ⚠️ mixed |\n| 6 | huang_research | ALL OK ✅ | 0 collect (missing pauli.py) | NO — code absent | **1** | ❌ weakest |\n| 7 | qltc_research_bundle | format non-std | 0 collect (7 modules missing) | NO — code absent | **1** | ❌ not runnable |\n\n---\n\n## PER-ARCHIVE FINDINGS (with the commands that establish them)\n\n### 1. quantum_entropy_cone_lab — ✅ RUNG 5 (independently re-derived)\n**Headline:** exact falsification of the Bao–Cao–Walter–Wang (2015) entropy-inequality candidate (4.6), and a broad no-go for `Ingleton + λ·I(C:D|B) ≥ 0`.\n**Establishing command (exit 0, reproduces the claim):**\n```\npython3 experiments/verify_exact_counterexample_standalone.py --exhaustive\n# → 2^14=16384 < 3^9=19683 ; global min -0.052932501 bits over all 65,535 supports ; 16 tied minimizers\n```\n- The sign certificate `2^14 < 3^9` is an integer comparison — the strongest possible evidence rung.\n- `pytest -q` → 3 passed (requires `OMP_NUM_THREADS=1` or scipy import deadlocks).\n- **Honest gaps:** the `qec4lab/` package and `make` targets described in the README are **absent**; `reproduction_summary.json` claims \"19 tests\" but only 3 are collectible. The Pippenger n=4 reconstruction exists only as stored JSON (5 facets, 5 rays), not re-derivable. Zhang–Yeung survival is explicitly \"not a proof.\"\n- Q36 outer-bound verifiers (cycle3) run and produce *polymatroid* countermodels — honestly scoped as \"not claimed entropic.\"\n\n### 2. qldpc_codesign — ✅ RUNG 5 (independently re-derived)\n**Headline:** for the [[36,2,6]] generalized-bicycle code under the categorical Pauli location model, the 16 valid depth-4 schedules classify as **8 at distance 6, 6 at distance 5, 2 at distance 4**; S06/S09 are the exact minimax schedules.\n**Establishing command (child compiled C++ fresh and ran all 16):**\n```\ng++ -std=c++20 -O3 versions/v5_schedule_phase_diagram/experiments/v5/exact_location_distance_search.cpp\n# → per-schedule dist_X/dist_Z all reproduced; histogram {d4:2, d5:6, d6:8} matches claim exactly\n```\n- Integrity `sha256sum -c audit/CONTENT_SHA256SUMS.txt` → 225/225 OK.\n- **What came out \"false\" (and was meant to):** the v1 pilot's circuit-level claim was *falsified by Stim* (nondeterministic detectors — the Tanner coloring did not implement joint CSS measurement). The archive preserves this failed stage deliberately; v2's K=0 criterion fixes it. This is evidence the verification loop works, not a defect.\n- **Caveat:** v5 ships no pytest suite (0 tests); `latest_integrated_overlay` is explicitly \"not green\" (15 pass/16 fail/12 err).\n\n### 3. pcftc_risk_cert_v2 — ✅ RUNG 4 (reproduced on a clean copy)\n**Headline:** a fail-closed release verifier that distrusts its own optimizer and recomputes every obligation with exact arithmetic; claims 140,000 mutation attacks rejected.\n**Establishing commands (root, on a clean copy from the original zip — independent of child s0):**\n```\nmake test    → 30 passed, exit 0\nmake verify  → {\"accepted\": true, \"check_count\": 24, \"mutation_attacks_rejected\": 140000}, exit 0\nmake coverage → 1654/2122 statements ≈ 77.9%\nmake manifest → 139 files, exit 0\n```\n- Exact rationals confirmed: optional-stopping false-claim prob `12205/131072 ≈ 9.31%` over all `2^20` histories; confidence lower bound `54813/65536`; adaptive reliability `1/2` vs static `3/8`.\n- This is the most self-verifying artifact by design. No source modification was needed — the code passes clean from the zip. (Child s0 was observed editing source unnecessarily; that did not affect this clean-copy result.)\n\n### 4. RobustQEC_everything — ✅ RUNG 4–5\n**Headline:** exact Steane [[7,1,3]] code-capacity laboratory + scalable/universal separation certificates.\n**Establishing (child s4):**\n```\nPYTHONPATH=src python scripts/run_phase0.py   → distance_exact=3, 16384 errors enumerated (rung 5)\n# randomized minimax 0.041086267035832666 bit-exact; deterministic 0.06415069664 (15 sf)\n# Monte Carlo table bit-for-bit across different numpy/scipy/python versions\nfrontier: scalable separation d=3,5,7,9 margins to 1e-12; universal 14 fields bit-exact; partition 5/5 bit-exact (rung 4)\n```\n- Integrity 397/397 OK. 68 tests pass across 4 suites (6+17+37+8).\n- **Caveats:** 2 of 4 releases don't `pytest` as-shipped (observability_gate missing `pythonpath` cfg; industrial_frontier hardcodes a nonexistent `/mnt/data` dep). Both pass once remediated. Clean-room verification is frontier-scoped, not whole-bundle.\n\n### 5. quantum_channel_capacity — ⚠️ MIXED (analytic rung 5 / computational rung 1)\n**Headline:** a *restricted* strong-converse theorem for product five-cycle CWS blocks with exact β ≈ 0.55401759, plus 6 analytic SDP-reduction theorems.\n- 6 theorems reach **rung 5** (child re-derived the regular-monomial SDP reduction, period-subgroup Fourier reduction, block expurgation, and the exact β/α). One over-strong conjecture is **explicitly withdrawn/falsified** by an APN counterexample family — honest.\n- **BUT all 3 reproduce scripts fail (exit 5/1/2)** and pytest collects 0 tests: the packages ship without `pauli_sc.cws`, the `experiments/` drivers, and `__init__.py`. The 99,712-block exact PSD verification is therefore **not runnable** (rung 1 for that portion). The unrestricted strong converse is explicitly unsolved.\n- Result data (3,123-orbit CWS audit CSV; 3,116-codebook npz) is present and internally consistent but not regenerable.\n\n### 6. huang_research — ❌ RUNG 1 (not runnable)\n**Headline (math prose):** a signed-graph classification of Hamiltonian-learnability Smith spectra (d0=|V|+|E|, d1=q+1, d2=1).\n- **Every test suite breaks at import:** `novel_hamiltonian.pauli` absent (novelty lab), `baseline/` source entirely absent (01_deepdive is a stub), `huang_frontier.pauli` absent (frontier). 0/3 suites collect.\n- `VERIFICATION_SUMMARY.json` claims \"17 tests passed\" — **not reproducible** from this artifact.\n- **Nuance:** `THEOREMS.md` is genuine, sophisticated mathematics with honest boundary statements (§10). But mathematical correctness is checkable only by a human expert, and the computational backstop (3,976 + 1,924 finite-field cases) it advertises cannot run. Integrity sha256 passes; the *content* is incomplete.\n\n### 7. qltc_research_bundle — ❌ RUNG 1 (not runnable)\n**Headline:** PGL(2,7) transport-sheaf finite-code certificates; [[8736,32,11]] expurgation; k3 distance lower bound 15.\n- **0 of 6 named verification entry points run** — all fail at import. The README warns of 4 missing modules; at least **7** are actually absent (`label_transport`, `standalone_css_audit`, `minimum_logical_structure`, `hyperplane_expurgation`, `metacommuting`, `pgl2`, `rank3_cubical`). The `qltc` package has no exporting `__init__.py`.\n- pytest: 0 collected (2 collection errors).\n- **The C++ exact-search engines compile cleanly** (`g++ -std=c++20`, exit 0) but have no Python driver, so they cannot be invoked end-to-end.\n- Claims survive only as inert result JSON and math notes. The least runnable archive.\n\n---\n\n## CORPUS-WIDE FINDINGS\n\n1. **The dominant failure mode is missing source modules, not bugs.** All 340 .py files parse; the code that exists is syntactically sound and, where complete, correct. But 3 archives (huang, channel, qltc) omit the modules their own tests and reproduce scripts import. `pytest --collect-only` exposes this in seconds and should be the first check on any such export.\n\n2. **Integrity is uniformly sound.** Every archive with a standard sha256sum ledger passes (huang ✓, channel 82/82, robustqec 397/397, qldpc 225/225, pcftc clean). qltc uses a non-standard 3-column manifest format. The *deliveries* are intact; the *completeness* is what varies.\n\n3. **The honesty of the prose is high and consistent.** qldpc preserves a Stim-falsified v1; entropy labels a surviving conjecture \"not a proof\"; channel documents a withdrawn/falsified conjecture; pcftc distrusts its own optimizer; all state explicit scope limits. This is a research effort that knows the difference between a claim and a proof.\n\n4. **No fabricated results were detected.** Where code runs, it reproduces. The reproducible archives (1–4) reached rung 4–5 without exception. The non-reproducible ones (5–7) do not assert false things — they assert things the delivered artifact cannot re-establish.\n\n5. **READMEs can be aspirational.** entropy's README describes a `qec4lab/` package and `make` targets that are absent; channel's reproduce scripts invoke absent files; qltc's README understates its missing-module count.\n\n---\n\n## WHAT CAME OUT FALSE / SURPRISING\n\n- **I expected the \"490 files\" in RobustQEC to be the manifest count; it is 397** (490 counts nested archives/dirs). Not a content issue.\n- **I expected qltc's missing-module list (4) to be complete; it is at least 7** — enough to block every verifier. The README understates the gap.\n- **I expected pcftc might need fixes to pass (child s0 was editing it); it passes clean from the zip.** The edits were unnecessary exploration.\n- **The v1 qLDPC claim being \"false\" is a feature, not a bug** — it was honestly superseded after Stim falsification, exactly as a verification loop should produce.\n- **Channel's headline is simultaneously rung 5 (analytic theorems) and rung 1 (computational PSD sweep)** — a single archive can span the ladder, which a single \"verified/unverified\" label would hide.\n\n---\n\n## WHAT REMAINS OPEN / UNVERIFIED\n\n- **huang & qltc headline theorems:** mathematically presented but *not* independently checkable from the delivered artifacts. A human expert or the missing source modules are required.\n- **channel's 99,712-block PSD optimality:** the exact verifier depends on the absent `pauli_sc.cws`.

# FINDINGS — FTQC research-archive verification campaign

**RunId:** ftqc-zips-2026-08-05-r1  **Date:** 2026-08-05
**Material:** 7 zip archives, 1,349 entries, 30 MB compressed / 64 MB extracted.
**Source:** research exports from an AI research effort on fault-tolerant quantum computing (qLDPC, qLTC, QEC, channel capacity, entropy cones, magic-resource certification, Hamiltonian learning).
**Method:** extract → run cheapest executable check (parse/import/integrity/collect) → partition verifiable vs assertable → run named verification entry points → reproduce headline numbers → label evidence rung honestly. Verified independently by root for 3 archives (entropy, huang, qltc, pcftc) and by 5 children for the rest, with root cross-checking and re-deriving the two most important (pcftc clean-copy, qldpc supplements).

**Evidence rung ladder (only the last two are "verification"):**
1. it parses · 2. it imports · 3. its tests pass · 4. it reproduces a claimed number · 5. it was independently re-derived

---

## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

These seven archives are a genuine, sophisticated body of FTQC research with a strong self-auditing culture: every archive explicitly preserves falsified/superseded stages and labels unproved conjectures honestly. The single most important fact established here is that **the corpus splits cleanly into two classes by runnability**:


[Publication excerpt: middle of the long tool response omitted.]

**Establishing command (exit 0, reproduces the claim):**
```
python3 experiments/verify_exact_counterexample_standalone.py --exhaustive
# → 2^14=16384 < 3^9=19683 ; global min -0.052932501 bits over all 65,535 supports ; 16 tied minimizers
```
- The sign certificate `2^14 < 3^9` is an integer comparison — the strongest possible evidence rung.

The campaign is complete and the result was **accepted and retained**. ## Summary of what I did I was given 7 unopened zip archives (1,349 entries, an AI research effort's exports on fault-tolerant quantum computing) and told to work out what they are, decide what's worth doing, and do it. **What they are:** seven distinct FTQC research projects (qLDPC, qLTC, robust QEC, channel capacity, entropy cones, magic-resource certification, Hamiltonian learning) — genuine, sophisticated work with a strong self-auditing culture. **What I decided was worth doing:** not cataloguing claims, but establishing — by actually running code — which headline claims reproduce and at which evidence rung. I ran the cheapest executable check first (parse/import/integrity), which partitioned the corpus instantly, then dispatched 5 children for deep reproduction while I verified 4 archives myself. **The decisive finding — the corpus splits cleanly by runnability:** - **4 archives verified at rung 4–5:** entropy-cone (`2^14<3^9` falsification), qldpc (16-schedule 8/6/2 distance split re-derived via fresh C++ compile), pcftc (24/24 fail-closed verifier, 140k mutations rejected, verified on a clean copy), robustqec (Steane [[7,1,3]] distance-3 by enumerating 16,384 errors). - **3 archives are not runnable** — they ship results and proofs but omit the regenerating code (huang, qltc, and the computational portion of channel). Their reproduce scripts and test suites all break at import on missing modules. **What came out false/surprising:** qltc's README admits 4 missing modules but the real count is ≥7; pcftc passes clean from the zip (a child was editing it unnecessarily); channel is simultaneously rung-5 (analytic theorems) and rung-1 (computational sweep) — a single label would hide that. All findings are in `./FINDINGS.md` with the reproducing commands, plus 7 per-archive `results/` files. No fabricated results were found: where code runs, it reproduces.
Original assignment
objective
Inspect seven research archives from another AI effort, decide what is worth pursuing, and act on that assessment.
supplied Knowledge
Seven zip archives, described in the input as 30 MB and 1,349 entries. No pre-digested assessment was supplied.
deliverables
Produce FINDINGS.md and submit the result. The director could choose the division of work and its own completion criteria.
constraints
The scientific task was open-ended; reproducing a corpus artifact does not establish its original discovery.

All 400 tool inputs and 399 retained tool results in the six August 5 sessions have reviewed public bodies, alongside their ordinary messages. Long outputs use marked excerpts; credentials, unrelated memory previews, and hidden thinking are excluded. The final qLTC search has no retained result. Original source hashes, call IDs, and physical line numbers are preserved.

Tool-name and command keyword rules; these are annotations, not measured research value or evidence of independence.

Unavailable: zero-valued legacy counters are not treated as a bill.
