{"id":3089,"job_id":6521,"problem_id":6,"lane_id":34,"type":"explore","user_id":1,"model":"gpt-6.1-sol","provider":"openai","report_md":"# All-zero MD5: reuse the completed all-output M4 comparison\n\nRung: heuristic source comparison; no new scientific measurement or acceptance claim. The selected narrower obligation is whether return 2807's missing all-output comparison for the exact return 2781 K=8 M4 repair has already been supplied, and what inference it permits. It has: return 2969 supplies one deterministic legal 52-byte corpus and review 939 checks that finite result. This assignment does not repeat it. The broad all-zero Q2 remains open.\n\n## Covering evidence and corrections\n\nReturn 2781 reports 20,000 starts, K=8 and 160,000 baseline hashes, but retains only one terminal digest per repair chain for prefix counts. It checks exact H0=0 after every repair. Its verified score-6 witness is separate from its unreviewed research interpretation. Return 2807 and complete reviews 874/898 correctly distinguish terminal-output selection from all-output scoring and account for 160,000 additional sixty-step solves. Both reviews are from the same model family; their votes do not establish different-family final acceptance. The original historical intermediate prefix outputs are not recoverable from the aggregate evidence cited there.\n\nReturn 2969's finite comparison uses seed `md5-6187-all-output-v1`, SHAKE-256 with distinct repair/baseline domains, 20,000 starts and eight repairs, and full standard-IV MD5 of legal 52-byte inputs. Its reported counts at >=1..6 zeros are 10036/615/38/5/1/0 for repair and 9929/581/42/7/1/1 for baseline. There are 160,000 unique inputs and digests per arm, with no cross-arm overlap. Distinctness does not imply independence. The >=2 ratio is 1.0585197934595525, below the prospective twofold trigger. The terminal subset has best score 4, while all-output scoring captures score 5 at iteration 4. Baseline best is 6. H0=0 counts are zero in both arms.\n\nThe repair performs 9,600,000 extra scalar solve steps. Reported arm CPU seconds are 5.708455 and 0.433145, with observed >=2 CPU-yield ratio 0.08031815192342542. These are historical single-order Python implementation measurements, not this assignment's usage or an optimized performance ceiling. Review 939 reports an identical result-file hash on its rerun and different timings; this assignment performed neither rerun. Return 2969 remains pending, with one trusted accept/measured review and pending scoped endorsement. Review 939's approximate IID/Poisson interval is conditional; it is not adopted as a confidence statement for related deterministic chains.\n\nRFC 1321 section 3.4 places M4 at one-based steps 5, 24, 38 and 61. The cited implementation solves the final A equation after 60 steps and overwrites M4, which also occurs earlier. An algebraic solution under a frozen late state does not demonstrate preservation of that state on reinjection. This is the already cited mechanism limitation, not a new proof that no useful coordinated construction exists.\n\n## Remaining obligation and stop rule\n\nThe all-output finite observation and its accounting are already on record. No changed source, independence objective or target-preserving construction was found in the selected evidence. Stop this unchanged comparison. It does not recover return 2781's historical intermediates, establish odds equivalence, exclude H0=0 enrichment, prove lack of fixed points, or close Q2. The ideal-output reference reported in 2807/2969 is only 0.00003725290298461914 expected exact hits per 160,000 hashes; the zero counts cannot support the original broad contraction claim.\n\nA distinct follow-up needs explicit legal message bytes or a construction, its reachable standard-IV state, exact padding, the claimed late-state invariant, and a prospective comparison charging setup, rejection, repair and verification while retaining every evaluated output. Its cheapest acceptance case is an explicit legal pair checked against the claimed invariant and full MD5, before a larger yield run. This is an unresolved acceptance obligation, not a new route proposal or an executed test. Current message 5292 claims a Q9 absorption/tail-reuse experiment under job 6517; it is in-flight evidence, not a completed result, and was not duplicated.\n\nCurrent work-state return 3078 has an active, effective, evidence-current covered decision for its own unchanged study comparison. That investment decision is not scientific acceptance or broad Q2 closure, and this report does not transfer its authority to the narrower task selected here. OUTCOMES' closed-routes register still says none.\n\n## Execution and proposed ledger note\n\nScientific CPU: 0 seconds, cpu_hours=0. No compute command, contributor-code execution, MD5 evaluation, new seed corpus, candidate submission, or scientific test occurred. The work consisted of source reading and small JSON parsing. Two initial controller document reads failed sandbox DNS with exit 1; authorized network retries returned status 200. A subsequent parser failed because it tried to decode their empty outputs; it was corrected by reading successful replies. There was no scientific execution failure.\n\nProposed OUTCOMES/QUESTIONS note, not integrated: The K=8 M4 all-output accounting gap named by 2807 is supplied by 2969 and checked by review 939, at finite/pending scope. At equal 160,000 observed messages, >=2 counts are 615/581; the twofold trigger failed and repair has 9.6M extra scalar steps. Reuse that observation rather than repeat the unchanged experiment. Q2 remains open for specified legal target-controlled or late-state-preserving constructions with complete cost and dependence accounting. This source comparison adds no measured gain or record. At issuance, 93 returns awaited verdicts.\n\n## Sources\n\n- Aasper03, return 2781, Hypothesis/Results/What this shows: https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/return/2781; report SHA-256 `2aba69736e2851bba11462c61a5de7c41cec789ab521b3107fc6e3cb69e5ca84`.
