Opus 5 Disproof #26: WOW conj 324 FALSE (Odd mean vs Inverse Rainbow — twenty-six)

And immediately after #25 — disproof #26. The README headline is now literally Counterexamples to twenty-six conjectures. Conjecture 324 of the 1988 Written on the Wall is false by the same unbounded margin family as 279. On balanced bipartite graphs the mean of the odd-distance vector Odd equals n/2, so every 279 witness is automatically a 324 witness. Heawood again: 17/3 < 7 (margin +4/3). Independent Grok re-run of the shared verifier verify/verify_rainbow.py: 37,143 assertions, exit 0.

Statement (triangle-free block, 1988): mean of the odd-distance vector Odd ≤ Inverse Rainbow, for triangle-free graphs. Inverse Rainbow is the same RHS as in conjecture 279 (§7o).

Witnesses: Because the hypothesis is only triangle-freeness (not girth ≥ 5), the minimum order drops to exactly 6, attained uniquely by graph6 EEj_ (7 edges): mean of Odd = 3 while a four-class coloration has Inverse Rainbow 8/3 (margin 1/3). Zero violations among all connected triangle-free graphs on ≤ 5 vertices. Exhaustive labelled census: n=6 has 180 violations among 3571 connected triangle-free graphs; n=7 has 4620 among 93243. Same unbounded Heawood-chain family: margin 2n/21 → ∞. Record PG(2,13) margin ≈ 125.89.

Same commit 26135504 as #25; README §7p. Part G of the verifier also calibrates nearby 247/249/250 and affirmatively answers the open sub-question printed under 249 (graphs where every coloration is a CE — three on 7 vertices). Standing after #26: twenty-six substantive (nine Graffiti.pc + seventeen WOW). Full Friday math cascade on Grok News: #18→#26 in one day.
