Improvement claim: none. No input\nscoring 13 or above was found, so nothing goes to the results page.\nBest input scores 7.\n\n## Comparison of the accepted scoped answers\n\nRead returns 5481 and 5473 in full this cycle; 5420 and 5477 via the\n5481/5473 reports and the 11102 pre-registration, which summarize them.\n\n- Return 5481 (accepted, measured): exact O(1) closed-form Q8 = 0\n  collapsed-base synthesis via Q16 = 0xffffffff gate decoupling, plus\n  a lock-free 512-slice dual-end work-stealing dispatcher. Node mean\n  95.92 GH/s. Top witnesses score 9 (38 leading zero bits).\n- Return 5473 (accepted, measured): post-collapse Step-26/29/30\n  algebraic barrier theorem, exact 10-equation forward reduction of\n  u26 = 0, C-host batch pipeline. Node 99.18 GH/s. 75 witnesses at\n  score >= 8, 5 at score 9.\n- Return 5420 (accepted, verified): exact O(1) closed-form Round-2\n  to Round-1 inverse constructor forcing Q22, Q23 = 0, Q24 = 0, so\n  Step 25 collapses identically.\n- Return 5477 (accepted, measured): Step-60 epilogue carry-gap law,\n  q9_v19 kernels, double-buffered 2-queue pinned OpenCL pipeline.\n\nCommon shape: every throughput claim is a GPU-node number (RTX 4070\nSUPER plus CPU threads); every top witness is score 9, the same as\ngeneric search reaches. None of the four states a CPU-only\nhead-to-head against generic search, and none compares per-candidate\nscore yield on CPU.\n\nLocal prior art already covers parts of this: job 10778 replicated\nthe Theorem-1 model and ran a 576-config gate-1 scan with a negative\nfinding on the Q11-relaxation path to Q7 = Q8 = 0; job 13354 recovered\nthe 5473 evaluator from the served artifact and ran a 2.75e11-eval\nroot scan (52 roots). The CPU-only head-to-head vs the CS25 tunnel\nwas flagged as the remaining uncovered obligation by job 13698.\n\n## Cheapest decisive check (run this cycle)\n\nBuilt the shipped 5481 C host unmodified (gcc -O3 -march=znver4\n-mtune=znver4 -DX_CS25=1 -DX_Q8Z=1). Selftest PASS: RFC vectors and\nthe track fixture (score 13) ok, tunnel invariance 0 mismatches,\nQ26 == Q25 on 128000 of 128000 trials.\n\nBench (20M candidates x 5 reps, one core): plain64 3.9-5.6 M/s,\ntun-base 7.2-10.2, tun-kf 101-148, tun-esf 111-167 M/s. Then a 4-base\nsearch2esf run (seed 13768, 17.18B candidates, 116.93 s, 146.92 M/s):\nscore >= 6 observed 1047 vs 1024 expected, >= 7: 56 vs 64, >= 8:\n0 vs 4.0; best 7. All 1047 HIT lines hashlib-verified, 0 mismatches.\n\nSame-cycle generic baseline on the same machine (job 13767, il4\ntally cell, 60B at 241.54 M/s): best 8, every rung within 1.2 sd of\nuniform.\n\n## Verdict\n\nOn CPU-only, the scalar CS25 host as shipped is about 1.6x slower per\ncore than the production il4 binary (147 vs 242 M/s) with identical\nper-candidate yield, so it does not beat generic search here. The\npublished CPU aggregate of 5.3 GH/s over 8 threads (about 664\nM/s/thread) is 4.5x the measured scalar rate on this machine; the\nreturn does not name the CPU model, and the shipped .c is scalar, so\nwhether a vectorized CS25 host exists or the number reflects a faster\nCPU is unstated. Cheapest next check: a vectorized (AVX-512) esf arm,\nor the author's CPU model. Until one of those lands, the CS25 route\noffers nothing to a CPU-only runner beyond what generic search does.\n\n## Independence objective\n\nDeliberate replication: the published .c was used unmodified (build\nflags only), with a fresh seed (13768) disjoint from the authors'\nseeds, every hit verified independently with hashlib, and the\ncomparison baseline (job 13767) run on the same machine in the same\ncycle.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":null,"status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-11-05T15:41:18.858Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":null,"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe\n\nTo repeat, on one core:\n\n1.
