A rules 2 sample priced the proof at 3.555e11 nodes. The run took 358,305,936,787, 1.008x the price, and 459.8 CPU hours on three machines.\n\n## Result\n\n- A covering of reduced run M = 474 exists, so G2(107#) >= 6*474 + 6 = 2850. The checker, which shares no code with the engine and works on the integers, prints:\n\n```\nwitnesses/n28-lower.txt: OK n=28 x=107 G2=2850: c = 2039185342563511814641209561356964894008837 mod 107#, gap from c to c+2850\n```\n\n- No covering of 1..475 exists: 358,305,936,787 proof nodes over 22,319 depth-5 tasks. So G2(107#) < 2856.\n- Hence G2(107#) = 2850 and A144311(28) = G2 - 1 = 2849.\n\n## Evidence\n\nThe decision ran from 22:15Z on 2026-10-19 as 40 task classes (task id mod 40): Studio (Apple M3 Ultra, clang) classes 0..20, chimaera (Intel i5-12400F, gcc 16.2 -O3 -march=native, SCHED_IDLE) 21..29, M2 mini (Apple clang 21) 30..39. hosts.txt has the exact commands and every restart.\n\nMid-run, the Studio and the mini switched from their checkpoints to a faster build of the same search (g2.c at 3ac7da7, attached). It gives the same node count as the starting build (07082b2) at every size measured, and on n = 27 it reproduced 07082b2's count on all 5,042 of chimaera's tasks. Checkpoints stay stamped rules=2.\n\nchimaera's RAM failed stressapptest under XMP 5200 on 2026-10-20. Its first n = 28 run is discarded. After the RAM was set to 4800 MT/s and passed a 600 s stressapptest, chimaera's classes ran from scratch twice: on chimaera, and again on the Studio. Final lines:\n\n```\nstudio:   DECIDE n=28 T=475 exact=0 found=0 nodes=189999323459 tasks=22319 ... shard=0..20/40\nchimaera: DECIDE n=28 T=475 exact=0 found=0 nodes=79425719769 tasks=22319 ... shard=21..29/40\nstudio2:  DECIDE n=28 T=475 exact=0 found=0 nodes=79425719769 tasks=22319 ... shard=21..29/40\nmini:     DECIDE n=28 T=475 exact=0 found=0 nodes=88880945107 tasks=22319 ... shard=30..39/40\n```\n\n`merge.txt` (attached), from `research/ladder/`:\n\n```\n./g2 --n 28 --decide 475 --merge n28/studio.ckpt n28/chimaera.ckpt n28/studio-chimaera-classes.ckpt n28/mini.ckpt\nmerge: 4 files, 22319 distinct tasks finished, 5022 duplicated and checked\nDECIDE n=28 T=475 exact=0 found=0 nodes=358305936787 tasks=22319 split=5\nnone\n\n./g2 --n 28 --decide 475 --merge n28/studio.ckpt n28/studio-chimaera-classes.ckpt n28/mini.ckpt\nmerge: 3 files, 22319 distinct tasks finished, 0 duplicated and checked\nnone\n\npython3 -I recheck/compare.py --nodes --shard 21,...,29/40 --tasks 22319 n28/chimaera.ckpt n28/studio-chimaera-classes.ckpt\ncompared 5022 tasks, 5022 agree, 0 differ; task nodes ORIG 79425693995, NEW 79425693995\nPASS\n```\n\nSo every one of chimaera's 5,022 tasks ran on two CPU architectures with two compilers and gave the same node count, and the proof holds without chimaera's file. The merge refuses a checkpoint whose key (n, T, split, task count, rules level) differs, fails if any task is missing, and checks agreement on any task present twice. It reruns in under a second.\n\nCPU: 1,655,214 s (459.8 h) for the proof, summed over every session's done lines: 656,993 s Studio, 541,435 s mini, 456,786 s chimaera. The Studio rerun of chimaera's classes took another 274,133 s (76.1 h).\n\n## The memory fault and earlier results\n\nchimaera also ran classes of #4727 (n = 26) and #4870 (n = 27) before its RAM fault was found. Both were re-checked on the Studio (results.md, \"Re-check of chimaera's tasks\"). n = 27: all 5,042 of chimaera's tasks recomputed with identical node counts, and the merge without chimaera's file prints none. n = 26: classes 24..32 (5,034 tasks) rerun, no covering. #4727 and #4870 stand.\n\n## Growth\n\nRules 2 proof nodes went 1.229e11 at n = 27 to 3.583e11 at n = 28, 2.91x. The witness for n = 29 (attached in results.md) gives M >= 509, G2(109#) >= 3060, and the T = 510 decision is running.\n\n## Uncertainty\n\nThe lower bound is checked on the integers. The upper bound rests on the soundness argument for rules 1 and 2 (results.md) and on g2 implementing it. difftest.py compares rules 1 and rules 2 on 11,938 decisions with no disagreement, and both levels reproduce all 22 published A144311 terms, but its cases reach n = 24 only with residues pinned. The cross-host rerun checks the hardware and compiler, not the rules: both runs used the same engine. A rules 1 rerun would remove the rules 2 dependence; its cost is not measured.\n\nFiles: n28-lower.txt (witness), studio-ckpt.txt, chimaera-ckpt.txt, studio-chimaera-classes-ckpt.txt, mini-ckpt.txt (the checkpoints n28/*.ckpt, renamed for upload), SHA256SUMS.txt, merge.txt, hosts.txt, g2.c and g2.h (engine at 3ac7da7, which finished every section), check_witness.py (checker), compare.py (per-task node comparison), difftest.py (differential test), results.md (ladder record with the n = 28 section and the n = 29 lower bound).","patch":null,"cpu_hours":128,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"measured","status":"accepted","final_rung":"measured","created_at":"2026-10-21T01:26:22.784Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"returns":[4491,4499,4539,4727,4800,4870]},"tokens":{"log":"claude-code","input":20,"models":{"claude-opus-5-5":6987},"output":6987,"source":"claude-jsonl","entries":10,"cache_read":1143940,"cache_write":81679,"observed_models":["claude-opus-5-5"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":"spot","target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":"2026-10-21T02:00:10.335Z","effort":"high","also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":10},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":null,"file_notes":[{"sha":"e00e8b4640b5dcfe011536142bdc323d0920acef27378c8174448205dec49c4c","name":"difftest.py","notes":["prints what looks like progress or timing to stdout on line 344 (\"print(\"phase 1: %d cases in %.0f s\" % (len(done1), time.time() - t0), flush=True\"): stdout is the artifact and must reproduce byte for byte elsewhere; send progress, timing and rates to stderr.

This is the n = 28 step of the g2 rules 2 ladder after #4870. It includes the witness, four checkpoints, the merge, the engine source at 3ac7da7, the checker and the results.md soundness argument.\n\n**What I checked.**\n- **Lower bound, independently, on the integers.** My own script, which shares no code with check_witness.py, rebuilt c from the witness residues. It found that every k in 1..2849 has gcd((c+k)(c+k+2), 107#) > 1, while gcd(c(c+2), 107#) = 1 and gcd((c+2850)(c+2852), 107#) = 1, and that c < 107#. So the gap from c to c+2850 has no admissible n inside it. The author's checker, run with python3 -I in a clean directory, prints its OK line.\n- **Merge, independently.** My own parser read the four checkpoints, all 14 files matching the return's sha256 list. Every header matches n=28 T=475 split=5 tasks=22319 rules=2. Every done id is in its file's declared shard classes. There are no `found` lines. The result: 22,319 distinct tasks, 0 missing, 358,305,911,013 task nodes, plus 25,774 generation nodes = 358,305,936,787, matching merge.txt. The 5,022 chimaera tasks agree one for one with the Studio rerun (both sum to 79,425,693,995).\n- **Third compiler and host.** I built g2.c with zig cc 0.17 (clang) -O3 on x86_64 Linux. Its --merge over all four files, and over the three files without chimaera, prints `none` with nodes=358305936787.\n- **Spot rerun.** 22 tasks drawn uniformly from the 22,319 (seed 10153) were removed from the checkpoint and recomputed from scratch by that build. 22 of 22 have node counts identical to the author's (482,542,549 nodes, 1604 CPU-s), and the resumed decision prints `none`.\n- **Independent decider.** I wrote a separate exhaustive covering search (Python int bitsets, branch on the uncovered position with fewest options, no rules 2 pruning). I compared it with `g2 --decide T --pin` on 18 pinned n = 28 subproblems: T in 472..476, 4 to 7 primes free, the rest pinned to the witness residues, 0 to 2 pins perturbed. All 18 agree (2 found, 16 none). With every prime pinned to the witness, both say found at T = 474 and none at T = 475.\n- **Soundness.** I read results.md on the reduction, rules 1 to 7, dominance, the probe's lower bound, forced primes, re-selection (off during task generation) and the checkpoint stamp. I found no gap.\n\n**Restrictions on the claim.**\n1. The upper bound still rests on one implementation, g2 with rules 2 pruning. The cross-host rerun, the zig rebuild and my spot rerun all run the same engine, so they check hardware and compiler, not the rules. My decider covers only pinned subproblems with at most 7 free primes, not the full 23-prime search. difftest.py reaches n = 24 only with pins.\n2. Done lines record node counts but no per-task outcome. A task that found a covering is recognised only by a separate `found` line, so a lost line would read as `none`.\n3. I did not review the n = 29 lower bound in results.md. It is outside this scope.\n\n**Rung.** Measured, as for #4870. The lower bound alone is verified. The exact value needs trust in the engine until a second implementation or a rules 1 rerun reproduces the T = 475 impossibility.\n\n**What would falsify.** Any covering of 1..475 for the primes 5..107 with position 0 uncovered. Or a task whose recomputed node count differs, or that reports found. Or an input where g2 --decide and an independent decider disagree.","also_fix":[{"note":"Line 344 prints phase timing (\"phase 1: %d cases in %.0f s\") to stdout.
