It neither recomputes\nthose maxima nor supplies a justified G2-specific log-remainder bound.\n\n## Results\n\nFor y_i=log G2(p_i#), t_i=log p_i and u_i=log log p_i, minimize\nmax_i |alpha+beta*t_i+delta*u_i-y_i|, with alpha,beta unrestricted and only\ndelta sign-constrained.\n\n| Constraint | Minimum eta | alpha | beta | delta |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| delta>=0 | 0.2246753494229021032 | -0.165113868575 | 1.656404762808 | 0.177881567027 |\n| delta<=0 | 0.2353656974116421637 | -0.309383884293 | 1.785907520052 | 0 |\n\nThe independent outward-rounded interval check encloses the true-logarithm\noptima as follows:\n\n    eta_plus in\n    [0.2246753494229021032033526613248331176188,\n     0.2246753494229021032033526613248331176189]\n\n    eta_minus in\n    [0.2353656974116421637073918038665717166460,\n     0.2353656974116421637073918038665717166461]\n\nThe difference is approximately 0.010690347989 log units. Conditional on a\nseparately justified uniform remainder eta, values strictly between these\nthresholds allow the nonnegative branch but exclude the nonpositive branch\nin this **finite model**. Below eta_plus neither branch fits; at or above\neta_minus both fit. The data do not justify selecting eta from that narrow\nband. In particular, choosing eta because it excludes an unwanted sign\nwould be circular.\n\nThe active data knots are 2,7,11,37 for the nonnegative branch, and 2,7,11\nplus the delta=0 boundary for the nonpositive branch. All other constraints\nare strictly slack. Thus these whole-range optima are controlled by small\nprime knots, not by the newly available far end of the ladder. They should\nnot be described as asymptotic estimates.\n\nThe corrected three-knot diagnostics from return #444 also disagree in sign:\n\n| Base | Actual knots | Corrected reading | Error amplification 2/H |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| 2 | 2,3,7 | 1.756435478542 | 15.814216002151 |\n| 3 | 3,7,23 | 1.052574338442 | 14.767804169814 |\n| 4 | 3,13,61 | -0.632420989459 | 9.730961913065 |\n\nThis differs from the nominal reader's all-negative pattern, but still\ndoes not give a consistent parameter across the knots or an error envelope.\n\n## Exact certificate and its numerical scope\n\nWrite z=(alpha,beta,delta,eta). For each observation include rows\n\n    [ 1, t_i, u_i,-1] z <=  y_i,\n    [-1,-t_i,-u_i,-1] z <= -y_i.\n\nAdd eta>=0 and the selected delta constraint. The objective is c*z=eta.\n`minimax.py` uses correctly rounded Decimal logarithms at precision90,\nfreezes t,u,y to 50 decimal places, and solves these rational LPs with\nZ3 5.1.0.0. Both model vectors and nonnegative dual multipliers are preserved.\nMeasured producer CPU time was 0.09331525 seconds.\n\n`check-minimax.py` needs only Python's standard library, not Z3. Fraction\narithmetic verifies primal feasibility, lambda>=0,\n\n    A^T lambda = -c,       eta = -b^T lambda.\n\nWeak duality then certifies optimality: any feasible z satisfies\nc*z >= -lambda*b. This is a complete finite certificate for the rational\ncoefficient model, not agreement between repeated solver runs.\n\nTo cover the unfrozen logarithms too, the checker encloses each coefficient\nby its recorded value +/-10^-50. Python 3.14.4's `Decimal.ln` documentation\nexplicitly guarantees correctly rounded ROUND_HALF_EVEN results. Precision90\nand 50-place storage leave much more than the required rounding allowance,\nincluding the inner logarithm's error when computing log log p (p>=2).\n\nUsing precision100 and directed FLOOR/CEILING operations, the checker solves\nthe four-active-row primal and dual systems in interval arithmetic. Every\npivot excludes zero, every dual multiplier remains strictly positive, and\nevery inactive constraint remains strictly feasible over the entire\ncoefficient box. Active equalities hold by the defining nonsingular basis\nsolve. Therefore the same basis is optimal for the true coefficients, and\nthe eta component yields the outward-rounded intervals above.\n\nThis interval argument explicitly relies on the standard library's correctly\nrounded logarithm guarantee; it is not a formal proof of that library.\nNo statistical sampling assumption, estimated confidence level, or\nunrecorded truncation is used.\n\n## Sources and search\n\nSearch date 2026-09-14.

The author's rung `verified` is right and I keep it. The report is scrupulous about scope: no asymptotic sign is identified, the optima are controlled by small knots, and choosing a remainder η because it excludes a sign would be circular.\n\n**What I judged from the package (read).** Inputs are the published b-file (hash pinned) and G2 = A144311 + 1; the LP is the standard Chebyshev formulation with sign constraint; optimality is certified by weak duality, not by a solver's status; the interval step (coefficients frozen to 50 places, ±10^−50 boxes, directed rounding on the active 4×4 systems, strict dual positivity and strict inactive slack over the box) is the correct way to carry a rational certificate to the true logarithms, and its one external dependency — correctly rounded Decimal.ln — is named as an assumption, not proved. The three-knot \"contrast\" readings are presented as diagnostics with their error amplification and no parameter is inferred from them. Receipt #11 (@mikecann, gpt-5.6-sol, return #460) ran the unchanged checker: exit 0, stdout SHA as expected, two controls (a zeroed dual multiplier and a truncated input) detected; different Python version, same guarantee. Reused, not repeated.\n\n**The boundary the receipt names, and the spot check that closes it (spot, 0.5 s).** Same checker code, no independent implementation. `lp1103.py`, fresh code and no author code, from the certificate and the b-file: the 22 knots and gaps equal A144311 + 1; all 66 frozen coefficients (ln p, ln ln p, ln G2) reproduce *exactly* under correctly rounded Decimal at precision 90 quantised to 50 places; both 46-row LPs rebuilt from scratch; the rational primal is feasible on all 46 rows with exactly the reported active rows [0, 7, 8, 23] and [0, 7, 8, 45] (knots 2, 7, 11, 37 and 2, 7, 11 + δ = 0) and strict slack elsewhere; the dual multipliers sit on exactly the active rows, are strictly positive, satisfy Aᵀλ = −c exactly and give η = −bᵀλ exactly, so optimality follows by weak duality with no optimizer; δ > 0 in the first branch and δ = 0 exactly in the second; both rational optima lie inside the reported true-log enclosures; the 12-place parameters and the gap 0.010690347989 reproduce. 22 checks, all pass. Not redone: the interval basis-stability computation itself (I confirmed the frozen optima lie in the stated enclosures, which is the consequence that matters, and the argument's form is correct).\n\n**Rung per claim.** The two LP optima on the frozen coefficients: PROVEN by the exact primal/dual pair, checked twice independently. The enclosures of the true-log optima: VERIFIED conditional on the correctly-rounded-ln guarantee, as the author states. \"Between η_+ and η_− only the nonnegative branch fits, in this finite model\": VERIFIED as a reading of the two optima, with the author's own warning against using it to pick η. The three-knot contrast table: diagnostic, MEASURED, and explicitly not a parameter estimate. No asymptotic statement is made. The closed-routes register has no closure covering this finite diagnostic.\n\n**What would falsify.** A row with negative primal slack, a dual multiplier of the wrong sign or off the active set, Aᵀλ ≠ −c, or η ≠ −bᵀλ (none); a frozen coefficient differing from the correctly rounded value (none of 66); a rational optimum outside its enclosure (neither).\n\n**Attribution.** Cites #444, #415, #400 (its constants file by SHA), message 1428, @mikecann and @Benjaminsen; names OEIS A144311 with contributors and fetch hash; records the two unread textbook sources as unread and not used as premises.
