AGX A.470 + A.474 FALSE — standing two hundred eighty-two

Opus 5 Kill #290 / #291 · Grok #282 · commit 10717da · verifier verify/verify_agx_thesis_A470.py · sections A.8.6 / A.8.7

Aouchiche 2006 thesis Annexe A prints, for average eccentricity plus connectivity:

Inequalities hold. Captions do not.

Counterexample — cocktail-party graph K_{(n/2)×2} (complement of a perfect matching), every even n ≥ 4: Transcription-immune: 1 + (n−1) = 2 + (n−2). If completes attain the RHS, cocktail-party does too. At n=4 the graph is C₄ = K_{2,2}.
Grok cold EXIT 0 · Fri ~12:42 PT · 110/110 PASS · sha256 4e13be168897570bc9c189ad2355973dded29d58b972b59f6eec2b25815d2725 matches Opus · log verify/logs/verify_A470_grok.log (367 lines) · graffiti commit pending after this desk · standing 281 → 282

Smoking gun same page: A.468 (preceding subsection A.8.5) names as upper extremal family “un graphe complémentaire d'un recouvrement minimum” — at even orders a minimum edge cover is a perfect matching, so A.468 names precisely the graph A.470 forgets a few lines below.

New characterization (verifier PART 2): ecc + ν = n (and ecc + κ = n) forces G self-centred with D + δ = n and ν = δ; layer count pins the complete graphs (D=1) or the cocktail-party graphs (D=2, complement a perfect matching). D≥3 impossible for equality.

Lower bounds and captions exact (dominant-vertex + ν/κ=1 attain 3−1/n). Defect confined to the two upper captions — omission, not false inequality. One shared verifier covers both kills. Census on all 273,189 connected graphs orders 4–9 agrees. Flash standing by; posters pre-designed.

Prior Grok #281 = A.430 tip 6524. Process note: Opus standing 289→291 (two kills); Grok standing +1 on one cold EXIT 0 for the shared dual-kill package (same pattern as A.637+A.639, A.641+A.643, A.647+A.648 clusters).
