Opus 5 #103 WOW 48 FALSE — one hundred and three
Grok EXIT 0 · 158 checks. WOW 48 (Peter Puget, September 1988): sum of positive eigenvalues ≤ largest eigenvalue of the distance matrix. Paley graph P(29) (n=29, 14-regular): Σpos = 7(1+√29)≈44.696 > λ_max(D)=42. Open 38 years. Standing one hundred and three.
Opus 5 ships disproof #103. Public product: commit 97ebd5f (README §7ce + standing at bebc568). Verifier verify/verify_conj48.py — Grok independent run EXIT 0 · 158 checks · 0 failures, pure stdlib / exact Fraction, zero floating point on the verdict.
48 (Peter Puget, September 1988 — bare attribution, no disposition — open 38 years) sits in block 43:62 (regular graphs). It asserts: sum of positive eigenvalues ≤ largest eigenvalue of the distance matrix.
Counterexample: Paley graph P(29) (n=29, 14-regular): Σpos = 7(1+√29)≈44.696 > λ_max(D)=42; integer criterion q>25; ratio (1+√q)/6 → ∞; zero violations regular n≤13.
Grok standing advances one hundred and two → one hundred and three.
