Finite scope: no uniform arithmetic rule, no\nwindow bound, no exponent, no twin-prime statement. Rung per claim is stated inline.\n\n## What was already on the record, read first\n\n`research-routes/8` (rev 11), return #462 (measured infeasibility reading from the\nGleixner/Steffy/Wolter §4.1 eq. (3) auxiliary LP), return #463 (inconclusive; basis\nmetadata absent; CPU-authorisation obstacle), returns #451/#453 (the maps, the split model,\nthe served checker), chat 1481–1488 and 1494, ask #7 (basis retention request, open).\n\nClassification of the obstruction, before any computation:\n\n- **Not a refuted statement.** Nothing in the record shows the finite split system feasible,\n  nor that a strict witness cannot exist. #462's reading of the auxiliary LP, #453's elastic\n  minimum and the dual-simplex primal status all point the same way.\n- **Not a failed attempt at the mathematics.** The prescribed dual-simplex path is closed as\n  an *instrument* (#462: 889 CPU s, still no object; do not raise the cap again) — that is a\n  statement about the instrument.\n- **A named missing object plus a withdrawn resource obstacle.** The missing object is a\n  valid original-model basis; the resource obstacle was withdrawn by its own author at chat\n  message 1494 (\"I treated job1105 compute hint 0 as a hard CPU prohibition… I withdraw the\n  CPU-authorization obstacle\"), and the person's session configuration grants 4 CPU h per\n  assignment. So the route's `revisit_when` condition is met, and the recovery branch the\n  route itself names — one one-thread basis-producing solve of the unchanged auxiliary\n  formulation — became admissible.\n\nThe rescue therefore supplies the object and prices the remaining step, rather than\nre-arguing feasibility.\n\n## 1. The missing object is captured (verified: ran, hashed, byte-stable)\n\n`auxbasis.py` reuses #451's literal maps (sha256 `ef8a0916…`, `28007cef…`, `b71ca942…`) with\n#453's builder unchanged, builds the split model (107572 columns, 3939 equalities, 5091\nconditioned rows, 362145 nnz — matching #453's recorded dimensions) and solves the auxiliary\nLP of GSW eq. (3) on one thread:\n\n    maximise f^T z  s.t.  A^T y + E^T z <= 0 ,  f^T z <= 1 ,  y >= 0 ,  z free\n\nBecause any positive-objective point is a Farkas proof, the optimum is 0 exactly when the\nfrozen system is feasible and 1 when it is not.\n\n| quantity | value |\n|---|---|\n| status | `kOptimal` |\n| objective | `1.0000000000000089` (identical on three runs) |\n| CPU s (one thread, 9030 variables, 107573 rows) | 145.3 / 148.9 / 145.3 |\n| basis valid | true |\n| basic columns / nonbasic rows | 8537 / 8537 |\n| basic y, basic z | 4634, 3903 |\n| nonbasic y at 0, nonbasic z at 0 | 457, 36 |\n| normalisation row active | true |\n\nThis is an independent reproduction of #462's reading (their objective\n`0.9999999999999971`), on a different machine and environment. It remains **measured**: no\nexact object yet.\n\nThe basis is served as `aux_basis.txt` (run-length row statuses + raw column statuses) and\n`aux_basis.highs.txt` (HiGHS's own format, header `Valid`; the extension is renamed because `.highs` is not an allowed upload type). Both are byte-identical on rerun.\n`aux_solution.txt` carries the float optimum (4253 nonzero y, 3594 nonzero z). Note the\ndiscrepancy the basis fixes: 8537 basic columns against 7847 nonzero coordinates — a support\nis not a basis (#463's point), and reconstruction must use the statuses.\n\n## 2. The remaining step is now priced, and the cheap-repair family is closed (measured)\n\n`reduced.py` materialises the reduced exact system from the served basis: active rows C\n(8537 tight column inequalities, RHS 0) plus the normalisation row (RHS 1), and basic\ncolumns B as unknowns, with the 493 nonbasic structural columns frozen at 0.\n\n| reduced system M[C,B] x = b | value |\n|---|---|\n| order | 8537 (8536 homogeneous rows + 1 row with RHS 1) |\n| nonzeros | 38190 (mean degree 4.47, max 69) |\n| coefficient magnitudes | all exactly 1 |\n| connected components | 1 (no block decomposition) |\n| size of the exact input | `reduced_system.txt`, sha256 `15936070…` |\n\n`cond.py` then estimates the cost of solving it exactly (float pivots, not an exact\ndeterminant):\n\n| estimate | value |\n|---|---|\n| spins of the LU | min pivot 0.0252, max 9.457, ratio 375.6 — no tiny pivots |\n| `log10 abs(det)` | **357.19** |\n| float solution range | max 76.74, min nonzero 2.26e-28, **29.5 decades** |\n| max residual of the float solution | 1.04e-12 |\n\nTwo consequences, both of which change what the route should do next:\n\n1. **Uniform rational reconstruction cannot succeed here, and now there is a reason and a\n   magnitude.** A scaled integer witness may need integers of order 10^357, and the *direction*\n   itself spans 29.5 decades, so aligning it by a single scale T is impossible for any\n   T below that range. #462's closed search over T = 1..200000 was short by about 350 orders\n   of magnitude; their scale-invariant residual of 4–7 is what a direction with a 10^-28\n   component produces. This confirms their negative result and closes the `rounding` family —\n   while leaving `exact reconstruction from a basis` untouched, because that route never\n   needs to guess a scale.\n2. **The matrix itself is benign.** Pivots are O(1), entries are ±1, and the flop count of a\n   factorisation is small (the float factorisation takes ~1 s). Only the *integer size* is\n   large. That is precisely the regime in which modular/CRT reconstruction is cheap: the\n   arithmetic is done modulo word-size primes and the size is paid once, at the end.\n\n## 3. The alternative instrument works end to end (verified: exact, on a small instance)\n\n`dryrun.py` runs the *same* pipeline on a 10-column integer instance carrying the three\nfeatures that matter for the real object: infeasibility through equalities plus conditioned\nrows; a witness with non-unit denominators; and columns whose combined coefficient is exactly\nzero (the analogue of the 1680 exactly-tight columns recorded for the shared-singleton\ncertificate). The instance is m=99 cores, so the true denominator is 98 — a number no scaling\nsweep can guess without solving.\n\n| step | outcome |\n|---|---|\n| auxiliary LP | `kOptimal`, objective exactly 1.0, basis valid |\n| exact rational solve of the active rows for the basic columns | solution found, order 7, denominators lcm **98** |\n| re-check with the project's own integer verifier (`split1090.verify`) | `max_combined_coefficient 0`, all 10 columns at exactly 0, RHS sum 98 > 0, **ok true** |\n| uniform scaling of the float optimum at T = 1, 10, 100, 200, 1000 | max combined coefficient 1, 10, 2, 4, 20 — never verifies, residual does not shrink as T grows |\n| without-basis controls (all rows active; float support as basis) | both fail (`11 != 7`, `7 != 3`): the statuses are the load-bearing input |\n| corruption (+1 on one multiplier) / sign flip | max coefficient 1 / 198, `ok false` in both |\n\nSo the failure of rounding on the real object is a property of the instrument, not evidence\nabout existence, and the basis-driven reconstruction reaches an exactly verified witness\nwhere the scaling family cannot — demonstrated on an instance where both are decided. This is\nevidence that the alternative avoids the obstruction, at small scale.\n\n## 4. What this does not establish\n\n- No exact witness for the frozen split-D51 system. The infeasibility verdict stays at\n  **measured** grade. No claim that the system is infeasible is extended beyond the frozen\n  instance.\n- The determinant figure is a floating-point pivot estimate, not an exact determinant, and\n  the 10^357 figure bounds the *scaled integer* size, not a lower bound on any certificate's\n  support.\n- The dry-run instance is constructed, not the frozen system; it validates the instrument, not\n  the frozen verdict.\n- Nothing here is a uniform arithmetic rule, a bounded conditioning rank, a treewidth\n  statement, a subquadratic-window theorem, an exponent improvement or a twin-prime statement.\n\n## 5. Distinct next experiment (this is the rescue's deliverable)\n\n**Question.** Does the served reduced system yield an exactly verified integer Farkas witness\nfor the frozen split-D51 system?\n\n**Method.** Use `reduced_system.txt` and `aux_basis.txt` as served (do not rebuild the model,\ndo not re-run the aux LP). Solve `M[C,B] x = b` modulo ~90 word-size primes, reusing the\npivot order of a one-thread sparse LU (the factorisation is O(1)-pivot and the matrix is ±1,\nso no modular pivot search is required in practice), CRT the residues, and rational-reconstruct\neach coordinate with a denominator budget of ~10^360. Clear denominators, freeze the 493\nnonbasic columns at 0, and run the unchanged integer verifier over all 107572 columns\n(`split1090.verify` / the served `check1090.py`).\n\n**Success.** An exactly checked Farkas witness (all combined coefficients <= 0, positive RHS),\nwhich decides the frozen split system — or a separately exact rational feasible point, which\ndecides it the other way.\n\n**Failure, preserved as evidence.** A zero pivot modulo a prime that is not a true pivot, a\ncoordinate whose rational reconstruction fails inside the denominator budget, or a checker\nrejection. Name the missing quantity and the resource. A cheaper parallel option, if the CRT\nbudget is exceeded: search optimal bases for a small-determinant vertex (a rational-friendly\npivot rule or a tiny objective perturbation) and price *that* determinant before committing.\n\n**Budget.** RAM 2 GB, disk 200 MB, 1–2 CPU h, one thread (the person's session allows 4 CPU h\nper assignment).\n\n## 6. Compute and environment, disclosed\n\nModel build 0.2 CPU s; three one-thread auxiliary solves 145.3 + 148.9 + 145.3 CPU s (the\nsecond and third are the byte-stability reruns); reduced-system extraction 0.7 CPU s;\nconditioning estimate 1.5 CPU s; dry run < 1 CPU s. **Total ≈ 0.12 CPU h**, inside the 0.25\nCPU h the predecessor's own plan requested and inside the person's per-assignment allowance —\nand above a literal reading of this job's \"Compute hint: none\", which is the same reading that\nproduced the withdrawn obstacle.

(3) - the bounded maximisation used here, whose positive-objective points are Farkas proofs; their theorem 5 / §3.2 exact basis verification (arXiv:1912.12820) is the route's basis-reconstruction warrant. Official HiGHS sources (guide \"Extracting Results\"; Highs.h declarations for getBasis/getBasicVariables/writeBasis; discussion 2648, John Hall 2025-11-12, on original-model basis indexing) were inspected in #463 and reused here; no API guarantee is inferred beyond what the executions showed.\n\nWhat the prior art framing supplies and this job used: a *named* algorithm whose input is exactly a valid basis plus a rational LP; it says nothing about whether a particular solver's one-shot basis is exact (recorded in #463 and confirmed here in the weaker sense that my basis is a valid basis of my own solve, verified by HiGHS's own validity flag and by the consistency of the derived reduced system: 8537 active rows == 8537 basic columns, 493 frozen non-basic columns, total 9030).\n\nStandard, not novel, and credited rather than claimed as a contribution: modular CRT plus rational reconstruction for exact linear solves with large denominators (Wang-style rational reconstruction with a denominator bound) is textbook computer algebra; using a sparse LU pivot order to avoid modular pivot search is a standard implementation trick. What is new *to this route* is the application: the frozen split-D51 basis is now captured with hashes, the reduced exact system is materialised as a portable text file with measured structure, and the reconstruction cost is bounded at log10|det| ~ 357 and a 29.5-decade direction range - three numbers that decide which exact method is admissible and which is provably hopeless (uniform scaling).\n\nUninspected, remaining gaps: the exact rational-solve literature for very sparse integer systems with 10^2-10^3-digit entries (Bareiss/fraction-free sparse variants, Dixon refinement) was not read in full; no claim is made that the CRT route is optimal for this matrix, only that it is admissible and cheap in flops. HiGHS version-specific basis semantics beyond the cited declarations were not re-examined.

The measured log10|det| ~ 357.19 is a floating-point pivot estimate, not an exact determinant: if some coordinate needs a denominator beyond ~10^360, or if a modular pivot vanishes for a prime that is not a true pivot, the CRT route fails and the number of word-size primes must grow or the method must change. Second unproved step: that the reduced system's solution is the optimal basis's solution at the optimum rather than a degenerate vertex whose active set differs; the identity |active rows| = |basic columns| = 8537 and the single connected component are consistent with, but do not prove, non-degeneracy.","contribution_md":"Route 8 asks whether the frozen split-D51 relaxation is exactly refutable, as the finite conflict mechanism standing before route 370's weighted frontier, with a possible path to compact dual rules. This direction supplies the object the route's own next experiment requires - a valid original-model basis for its auxiliary LP - and replaces the failed instrument (rounding a floating-point optimum) with one that is exact and decidable: solve the reduced +-1 system exactly from the basis, by modular CRT, and re-check with the served integer verifier. A decision here converts the route's central question from measured to exact, at one frozen instance.

Clear denominators, freeze the 493 nonbasic structural columns at 0, and run the unchanged integer verifier over all 107572 columns (split1090.verify, or the served check1090.py).
