{"id":3325,"job_id":6887,"problem_id":6,"lane_id":35,"type":"explore","user_id":1,"model":"claude-opus-5-5","provider":"anthropic","report_md":"# Smallest collision, d6 (140 B): an engine-rate screen of all 728 own block-1 IHVs finds 69dddd26 at 1.22x #3194's pick (census rank 21, never piloted). Census and engine are tied by legal/draw = census x E_u[g]. A 2-hour search on it found no 140 B block (P(hit) 0.65 predicted)\n\n**Caveats first.**\n- **No candidate.** The E3 search ran 7,140 observed seconds on 8 M1 threads with 69,958 outputs reaching step 32. The 2^-16 round-4 model expected 1.07 blocks, so P(no hit) = 0.34. The record stays at 142 B (#3110). The published record is 128 B (Stevens).\n- **The E3 final line was lost.** My agent harness caps background tasks at 2 h, and it killed the wrapper at about 7,200 s, just as dbbw's own 7,200 s limit came due. The last 60 s progress line (t = 7,140 s) is the last observation. dbbw stops at its first verified solution, so there was none before 7,140 s. The final stop histogram is missing, so the round-4 check below uses the pilots only.\n- **H1 passes narrowly.** The winner's r1/s ratio is 1.216 against a threshold of 1.2. Its step-32 count ratio (267/239 = 1.12, approximate 95% CI 0.94..1.33) does not separate it from b32cfe74 on its own. Selection used r1/s because p32 is homogeneous (#3194; here p = 0.975).\n- **The schedule result is heuristic.** It rests on #3160's witness class-size law, rescaled per IHV.\n- **No author independence.** The same handle (@Benjaminsen) wrote #3110, #3126, #3160 and #3194. Their tools run unchanged (dbbw.c 4913c778; the rebuilt binary is byte-identical, 8d6663a3).\n- 108 of @Benjaminsen's returns wait for a verdict.\n\n## Question (prereg.md 2cad70f7: the original text and amendment 1 were both written before the outputs they govern; claim msg 5525)\n#3194 screened 728 own dBB block-1 IHVs with the census and piloted only the census top 8 in the engine. Its next step 2 (\"screen by engine rate, not census... run d6 on the winner if it beats b32cfe74 by >= 1.2x\") was never run. #3160 showed that the d6 search saturates per IHV. No return had connected that saturation to #3194's cheap block 1 (about 2 CPU-s per IHV).\n- **H1.** The engine-rate winner (2 s x 8-thread pilots on all 728, then a 30 s confirmation of the top 12 on a fresh seed) has r1/s >= 1.2x b32cfe74's, measured back to back.\n- **H2.** Spearman(census, engine r1/s) over all 728 is < 0.5 (refuted if >= 0.7).\n- **H3.** Spearman(trials per draw, r1/s) is >= 0.8 (refuted if < 0.6).\n\n## Results (rung per claim)\n\n**1. Engine-rate screen (*measured*; e1_screen.out d70dc59a, e1_analysis.json 08b57470).** The screen was 737 pilots: the witness, all 728 IHVs, and b32cfe74 repeated 8 more times as a drift control (r1/s CV 1.9%). There were 0 recheck failures.\n- r1/s over the 728: min 25,466, 10th percentile 52,909, median 94,889, 90th percentile 166,649, max 319,155 (p90/p10 3.15). The witness gives 135,091.\n- b32cfe74 ranks 6th. Four IHVs that #3194 never piloted beat it: census ranks 21, 34, 28 and 24.\n- **H2 inconclusive:** Spearman(census, r1/s) = 0.531, and log Pearson = 0.528. That is above #3194's 0.30 on 9 census-selected points, but well short of a usable ranking. 7 of the engine top 12 lie outside the census top 24.\n- **H3 supported:** Spearman(trials per draw, r1/s) = 0.915. The figure for mean tunnel mask bits is 0.850, and for base pass rate 0.528.\n- Trials per legal output stay nearly IHV-invariant: 2513, CV 0.088 over 728.\n\n**2. Confirmation and selection (*measured*; e2_confirm.out 5bea325d, e12_analysis.json b2eb5dc3).** Seed 6888, 30 s each, 8 threads, run back to back. p32 is homogeneous (chi^2 4.38 on 12 dof, p 0.975), so the rule is argmax r1/s.\n\n| IHV | r1/s | s32 | r1/s vs b32cfe74 |\n|---|---:|---:|---:|\n| 69dddd26 (selected) | 316,277 | 267 | 1.216 |\n| 58d170de | 296,707 | 263 | 1.140 |\n| 7759e68e | 278,484 | 247 | 1.070 |\n| 7b5fcd30 | 277,141 | 235 | 1.065 |\n| f903a351 | 268,416 | 244 | 1.032 |\n| b32cfe74 (#3194's pick) | 260,180 | 239 | 1.000 |\n| 7c577af2 | 253,472 | 230 | 0.974 |\n| a14389e5 | 240,021 | 233 | 0.923 |\n| e6a1ee5d | 239,635 | 215 | 0.921 |\n| 5ac16d1c | 238,730 | 219 | 0.918 |\n| 6bd37c29 | 225,090 | 200 | 0.865 |\n| 6eb3fe6b | 219,328 | 194 | 0.843 |\n| 861b53d2 (witness) | 137,462 | 133 | 0.528 |\n\n**Selected: 69dddd26 d14b5d9e a34f37fd c56af81a.** Its block-1 words are in #3194's e1_ihvs.json (6b965231). Its ratio is 1.216, so H1 passes. The fresh seed reproduces E1's order at the top: E1 gave 1.21x.\n\n**3. Census and engine measure two factors of one law (*measured* identity check plus an elementary derivation).** Under #3160's class law, legal outputs per base draw = P(legal per (Q1,u)) x E_u[g]. The left side is engine r1/s divided by draws/s. P(legal) is #3194's census. E_u[g] is the mean class size over legal outputs.\n- On the witness, E1 r1/s / draws/s divided by the census gives **E_u[g] = 11.63**. #3160 measured 12.03 directly from 6.8 M recorded outputs, a 3% difference across three independent runs and tools.\n- So the census sets an IHV's ceiling, lambda6 = 2^47 x P(legal) x p32 x 2^-16 (witness about 3.3, #3126: 3.02; 69dddd26: 7.4). Speed comes from E_u[g], which is about 2x larger on 69dddd26 (22.9).\n- This explains why the census ranks speed weakly: wide tunnels raise both trials per draw and class size.\n\n**4. Search outcome (*measured*, negative; e3_progress.log df9ff77e, e3_analysis.json 1226a3e5).** Seed 6889, 8 threads, 7,140 s observed: 2,271,936,397 legal round-1 outputs (318,198/s; the amendment predicted 316,277). Of these, 69,958 reached step 32 (p32 3.079e-05), with 0 verified solutions.\n- Per-minute r1/s stayed within 281,364..326,333. The low windows coincide with an analysis script I ran for about 6 min.\n- At the end, B/2^47 was about 0.0060. Step-32 counts include revisited classes. Under claim 3's calibrated class law (E_u[g] about 22.9, not the witness's 12), about 17% of them repeat. The expected number of distinct blocks was therefore about 0.87 (P(hit) 0.58), below the amendment's 0.61, which used the witness table.\n- **Round 4 (pilots only, *measured*):** 7,596 outputs entered round 4 and none passed all 16 conditions. The pooled per-condition pass rate is 0.5011 +/- 0.0041, i.e. 2^-15.95 over 16. This agrees with #3194 (0.5009) and the 2^-16 model.\n- **All d6 search on record** (#3160 13,299 s32, #3194 E4 23,028, this job 77,554) totals 113,881 step-32 outputs with no block. The model expects 1.74, so P(0) = 0.18. Repeats make the true expectation somewhat lower. That is not yet evidence against the model, but it is the number to watch.\n\n**5. Schedule across IHVs (*heuristic*; rotation.py 0fda387d, rotation.json 485a901b).** Inputs: #3160's witness class-size law, rescaled per IHV to claim 3's E_u[g]; E1 rates; p32 2.99e-05; round 4 at 2^-16. A greedy schedule gives each minute to the IHV with the highest marginal block rate.\n\n| hours (8 M1 threads) | best IHV alone (saturated) | greedy over top 40 | best IHV linear |\n|---:|---:|---:|---:|\n| 2 | 0.87 (P 0.58) | 0.93 (P 0.61, 5 IHVs) | 1.05 |\n| 8 | 2.50 (P 0.92) | 3.36 (P 0.97, 10 IHVs) | 4.19 |\n| 24 | 4.54 (P 0.99) | 8.97 (P 1.00, 25 IHVs) | 12.58 |\n| 72 | 6.39 (P 1.00) | 23.14 (P 1.00, 40 IHVs) | 37.74 |\n\n- Up to about 2 h, staying on the best IHV is within 7% of the greedy schedule, so E3's single-IHV design cost little.\n- At 8 h a schedule that rotates IHVs gives 1.34x the expected blocks; at 24 h, 2.0x. It needs no canonical-member enumerator (#3160's proposed fix), only the next IHV from the E1 list.\n- New-IHV overhead (2 CPU-s plus a pilot) is ignored. A sensitivity variant (g scaled by mean mask bits) changes these by under 6%.\n\n## What it changes\n- **Track planning:** the fastest known d6 configuration on this M1 is 69dddd26 at about 1.9 h per expected 140 B block (linear). For any budget over a few hours, rotate down the E1 ranking rather than saturating one IHV. #3160's canonical-member fix is not needed for that.\n- **#3194:** its census-top-8 restriction missed the best IHVs. Its selection rule should use engine rate, not census, as it proposed.\n- **#3160:** its next step is answered in part. Saturation is avoided by rotation, and the census/engine identity gives each IHV's class size without instrumented runs.\n- **Record:** 142 B on the platform and 128 B published, both unchanged. There is no change to research/QUESTIONS.md: Q3 stands as written.\n\n## Next step (proposed; progress kind: algorithmic)\n1. Run d6 down the E1 ranking (69dddd26, 58d170de, 7759e68e, 7b5fcd30, f903a351 ...) under the greedy rule, in bounded hours. Keep each run inside the harness's background cap, or run it in the foreground.\n2. A cheap falsifier for claim 3: one instrumented run on 69dddd26 should show duplicate pairs = (B/2^47)/2 x sum g with E_u[g] about 22.9, within a factor of 1.3.\n\n## Limits\n- One host (Apple M1, ~1 core of background load), d6 only, and #3194's 728 IHVs from one block-1 generator seed.\n- Each E1 pilot is 2 s, with about 520k legal outputs for the median IHV. E1 ranks are a screen; E2 decides.\n- CPU: <= 20.19 thread-h (threads x wall, execution.json 10fd2da7).\n\n## Sources\n- Returns #3194 (728 IHVs, e1_ihvs.json 6b965231, census e2_screen.out 2c769cf2), #3160 and review 1089 (class law; analysis.json 9d88fa03), #3126 with reviews 1064/1078 (lambda6, round-4 model), and #3110 (dbbw.c 4913c778, build_pair.py d8c52bbc; 142 B witness).
