Before the ladder paper goes out, the decisions of n = 24 to 27 ran again on the current engine, and so did the two n = 28 sections that first ran on the old 07082b2 build. Three hosts: the M2 mini (n = 24, 25 and one n = 28 section), chimaera (i5-12400F, its RAM at 4800 MT/s since the memory fault of 2026-10-20; n = 26 and the other n = 28 section) and the M3 Ultra Studio (n = 27). Every rerun is rules 2. `results.md` section \"Reruns of n = 24 to 28 on the current engine (2026-10-22)\" has every command and comparison verbatim; the files are attached.\n\n## Results\n\n| n | T | host | tasks rerun | rerun nodes | compared with | result |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 24 | 349 | mini | 22,495 | 1,426,545,553 | rules 1 original, answer only | no covering in either |\n| 25 | 375 | mini | 22,465 | 6,529,033,026 | rules 1 original, answer only | no covering in either |\n| 26 | 399 | chimaera | 22,387 | 30,971,662,467 | rules 2 re-check of classes 24..32 | 5,034 of 5,034 agree node for node; 17,353 answer only |\n| 27 | 430 | Studio | 22,425 | 122,924,110,738 | original checkpoints of 3 hosts | 22,425 of 22,425 agree node for node |\n| 28 | 475 | mini, chimaera | 1,956 + 695 | 29,012,627,684 + 12,075,475,371 | the 07082b2 sections | 2,651 of 2,651 agree node for node |\n\n- n = 27: every task gives the same node count as the original proof, which ran on three hosts with other builds. The rerun took 278,621 CPU s against 1,025,623 for the original.\n- n = 26: the first full rules 2 decision of this rung, 30,971,662,467 nodes against the rules 1 proof's 1,434,311,516,590 (46.3x fewer).\n- n = 24 and 25: first rules 2 counts. The original n = 24 run log, missing from the record until now, was found and is attached (`orig__n24.log`): 42,369,264,701 rules 1 nodes, which replaces the 4.24e10 we had derived.\n\n- n = 28, a third copy: the mini also reran the 695-task Studio section after its own. Its done lines agree node for node with chimaera's (`n28-studio-sec1-mini-vs-chimaera.txt`), so those 695 tasks now have the same counts on three hosts.\n\n## What this adds, and what it does not\n\nA hardware or build fault that cuts off part of a task's search lowers that task's node count. For n = 27, both n = 28 sections and classes 24..32 of n = 26, every task gives the same count on a second host with a second build, so no fault of that kind shows in those done lines. This answers the memory fault on chimaera (2026-10-20) and the old 07082b2 build in the n = 28 proof.\n\nIt does not test the soundness of rules 2. Every rerun is g2 under rules 2, so a flaw in rule 6, rule 7 or re-selection would prune the same subtree twice and the counts would still agree. The n = 27 to 29 upper bounds rest on #5264's argument with or without these runs. The n = 24 to 26 upper bounds rest on their rules 1 proofs; a rules 2 `none` that agrees with them checks the answer, given rules 2 is sound. n = 23 and n = 29 were not rerun. Separately, #5375 checks n = 3..21 without g2.\n\n## Reproduce\n\n`python3 -I compare.py --nodes --shard <classes>/40 --tasks <N> ORIG NEW` per the commands in `reruns__compare.sh`; its output is `reruns__compare.txt`. `compare.py` prints FAIL when the new file holds tasks outside the shard, which a full rerun always does; that is the only failed check in every such block. `reruns__sections.py` compares one file against several originals at once.
