The target (X = a - IV_b = 0, Y = (m2 >> 8) - 0x80 = 0) is fixed entirely by the 9-byte\nside's padding; earlier rows tested only fixed function classes (linear, cube sums, characters, quadratic invariants).\n## Prediction (bound written before any code, prereg.md)\nA filter saves at most the held-out information it carries about the condition; 8 bits would need 8 bits about a 2^-50 event.\nBound: 0 bits. P1 control (word written at step 0) learned (max >= 0.2 bit, total >= 1 bit); P2 every route bit <= permuted null +\n0.002 bit; P3 additive byte model total <= 0.05 bit; P4 0 bits.\n## Method\nRe-ran the twenty-six maintenance scripts and compared stdout with the stored outputs. row47.py (own step code, checked against\nhashlib): 2^15 training / 2^14 held-out random 8-byte inputs; lookup tables on all 120 nibble pairs (256 cells, Laplace smoothing)\nand an additive model over the 8 bytes; gain = held-out cross-entropy reduction vs the training marginal; null = permuted held-out\nlabels. Reproduced the recipe from the uploaded copies.\n## Results\n- All twenty-six maintenance outputs byte-identical; every check passes.\n- P1 held: control best bit 0.988, total 30.9 of 32 bits (additive 25.9): the learners work.\n- P2 held: route best per-bit gain -0.0019 bit (X bit 22, the known IV_b-word bias bit, already in the marginal) vs null -0.0017.\n- P3 held: additive model -2.40 bits (overfit penalty only). P4: 0 bits, no new row (F183).\n## Verdict\nCost table unchanged: s = 2 produced; s = 3..14 impossible; s = 15/16 about 2^50.2 trials on (8,9); s >= 17 2^64; full MD5\n2^64.5 with a table. The bonus pair md5(\"asf7\") = md5(\"99feaj88ø\") is a fixed-target second preimage and is not expected to exist.\n## Next\nMaintenance: re-run the twenty-seven scripts; open a row 48 only for a padding idea absent from the record with a counted bound >= 8 bits.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.25,"hashes":{"row18.py":"33a0994d6cd1a484b6510ed4413fcf94f40791b81b2da52db023855573f36cc5","row23.py":"ce9c3ba04680769611a1caa82ddd7a957938cd64b09dbfe08ec9151e31ed1875","row24.py":"0a9dabb6bb6e92bc25e0531bf34043e97193d110633213c963403e457bce8ec3","row25.py":"eae97ea59dffe92f2a7cf96307bab147fb74e2dd7e3c29d6b3f1f6188c8fe0ed","row26.py":"666b670d8c3e869023dc2165d9096638e65525cc29e653dd81fce95bd6b7540e","row27.py":"7b727891d314685a242e834862fba97d93cf9b355b8914971912bc2243a68ce2","row28.py":"82ce3979f25cba0eb45328296533160871576d162dff0600649e4ec40fb287e2","row29.py":"351c03a6c925bc28e5fb527889d2e2caf6ba157f52cb62e77e5254ddab037514","row30.py":"7da91a8ec49f9485abba6789c7a49dd62ab279d0de187cb28d93cf8b4591e8c4","row31.py":"157b8a135ab77dea16b85a13d5bf73b6418ef1df400cebdbd4a3c9223008bb09","row32.py":"29162ce0da826a5b08eea05b9b6c4e3a219f078507ccee753ed4a9bfacaaface","row33.py":"7efca04219a380a9ed4266ca0cc04383aab991afc2d15db29aedd300d4b012d8","row34.py":"95c047cf74f6b4065b9483c93a906f15f3ce67508b9558342bafbfee8d0f6864","row35.py":"a553c7b40ce4149ecc10eacae9987f030ff5484881a845c241e1a23cdf5f2a58","row36.py":"1ca52599624c0c562ac857854cf05bd506c4a09e28e28c4bb38a40181bb8e7ac","row37.py":"102524bbb01dee80c211404f286ff03bc28258fe6bbda262ff60e54d8406a467","row38.py":"bbb94b0877520c58cbd3e70500e0d7dd2c9df22696dcba01bd2bdba30c76c7ba","row39.py":"97ae9627e2aa57981f86c9cfc0c572e15b5dad947c97d56820eb4bd1d1b125ec","row40.py":"5ea42105f318a110849bc9a68da8c51cb0562863a564ff9daae1cacb859c5a55","row41.py":"b792a83aeb04264c13e7528874460f855cc872a749ed80547ac22e2fd63434c3","row42.py":"26bb342f801fe5dc02a1980114cda7978cd915c6ebcbccb8d75739dde2b909c8","row43.py":"ae39d0a5ac5dc39aacadd03930c634465a34009a0dcbac29ec340cb507e1cac4","row44.py":"36ebcd5e16d975044e89d2c8f8185e4fe3ddef0ec9f76368c158c27a55972d1f","row45.py":"0e0f58b646ef353a683e399b08beb4889be0752d87aa7ae0961069661e3b4577","row46.py":"7e140cbf9fd80b7e4ea653e920a573565fbebae186e28222385c2216f0af1cfa","row47.py":"ce274619aeed13497921b4c8be9893be373255fb4739ecf3b46bd0438642c584","prereg.md":"e723d5ce86a982c7df77897f0eab0a44ae8ef644e3460a60be72559cf4d7502a","recipe.md":"4dac98bd873f0582eb72ef2eb5d7f4820db000bf1841d1d76ac969bab5a58cb8","row18.out":"250b7e92b03c2c08097f4ad124b3f2d2759fb1344d03d9031fc627489fdf9c9c","row23.out":"7b6ec31944c4b539ad3eabbaed7fe417ba6b036d8ee8bc9b35d3ae97c932f906","row24.out":"e6810802ca05d63406749f88376098067a040302b457e3e1db09a502d8c7c4f7","row25.out":"cdc2efcef2ee7f8f222719e5b6058e153775572ac7368c02b121ea916f2b89f8","row26.out":"41ff30e6bb2f72646cc0206e27138460086aa11b1ed883f3cf2597c409760c31","row27.out":"fb0f492495dc7f693dd8fa3e848b62fd5040b59ebf055d66352744d1fcff15aa","row28.out":"2f4c0c6bcdc635f3061b500e194b8a47ea7959f143c767b6467d55d421a4d817","row29.out":"befd0803112784b5881edbf4a0788ec42fb9f83617da98e23cea0d532f60e262","row30.out":"350ed8bd7942e1d104b7109ca098f6d2a2f5c1ffa2174b2c66ceb0d30056f22a","row31.out":"14a20559fb7213271f633dda6a790516de73870c3f9290dede549d625d77c863","row32.out":"814efb2e9dd3df3e1982fbfb6901650a3928216343ce0e52f709d811960540be","row33.out":"f645dd79248865aa0b3c144ebfedff61b4a2c208038fd5133ba12911443b4dd5","row34.out":"a4e223346e5b6df521ab3962f9068cd0b1ba1ca7fada0e5a9bad7109fdb3af12","row35.out":"f50de795fe15e0136a346f0eca4679165fdb7678795fa1b505eee80971a9f37c","row36.out":"4d2f6952fddf6b9ff564f3b65a87ea4ec9cf5f1ce6dba05b5b2d59f83051d034","row37.out":"4b17da46ed4c5e2a6c4392f31abbe89253c19eca7ca693065e581bdebb7531b5","row38.out":"3d96307783059af11aba9a3dc42a0a69dc6880ae33db1cc9e34bb1a6e111b745","row39.out":"8663c41ba0499542896ffe50d78b2a16471bc3877497193bb13e4d9aac6ebdbf","row40.out":"5c788ccccd23c3ef9cd4d3c2f5489c43f2646ccb37925673db1de6b4e51b4092","row41.out":"2c73336d9a537789bc08e6999957b4b83f6b37f194229f4e1820ea681a01394a","row42.out":"b44681244312de4b249eb5765a6e9264ee4ba0e35b26346450924686f9e67f8e","row43.out":"6ba3510b19154746a16c3a8f457290ad40fc68c3df22148651d6df2ae3507c55","row44.out":"c7736c5472fd3084f2b68849a2f8be5ec331d0ead75a6bb0045a06a682cacaf9","row45.out":"b5bf71a2f7e03d49795567844d2c3ed6a337c0dbab8ecd7308674eba0f8cbb9e","row46.out":"7652b83f08db713c9688c8b0e45adb2e6612e83e777b348559be7cca5e5c1471","row47.out":"434f3c8901a5958df63cd822aa39002d9fbbe813ad1e72eeaee2fc1b8d15488b","results.md":"c4706529f507bacdbe4e26017e5eb508665dbeba49657fe1b309e7c5e8eaaa58","final_check.py":"11f1f82aa8a62623f3567721c6fc15c6c3ec03efa069e44b6e770d1a1c091dc1","final_check.out":"b90fa228af9f4c9525a3610d3168f3b8e71db26e619cdc00c4830f6b76c96638"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-20T11:02:23.739Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[5025,5024,5023],"messages":[8016]},"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":80,"models":{"claude-opus-5-5":32532},"output":32532,"source":"reported","entries":0,"cache_read":2657216,"cache_write":83562,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"r
