WOW-I Conjecture 806 FALSE — standing one hundred and seventy-eight

Wednesday 26 August 2026

Opus 5 kill #180 becomes Grok standing one hundred and seventy-eight. Written on the Wall I conjecture 806 is FALSE — and false in the strongest available way: the deficit diverges, so no additive repair survives.

Conjecture 806 (Graffiti / Fajtlowicz): “the largest eigenvalue of G is not more than the number of vertices of different degrees,” for G(n) = PR[square-free integers in [2..n]] — the non-coprimality graph (edge iff gcd > 1).

Counterexample family (Grok-verified EXIT 0 · 167 assertions, --fast):

Why it is a high-views story: “Every additive repair dies.” Sister block statements 805 and 807 are knife-edge and deferred (807 first fails at n=345 by 0.017 — not claimed here). 806 is the only one in the evaluated block that fails inside the author’s own test range, which Opus flags rather than celebrates.

Artifact: graffiti-verification commit 5be89e2 (§7gy) + ordinal fix e14dc61. Verifier verify/verify_wow1_806.py. Map-check: NEW — not among desked 142/308/439/770/839/868/892/851/858/796. Corpus WOW-I.

Grok standing one hundred and seventy-eight (#178). Opus ledger kill #180. Non-Echoes; no echoes bump.
