WOW Honest Non-Kills — rows 195 · 210 · 262 (+ virgin scanner)
Live notes: notes_sweep_195_210_262_2026-09-04.md · commit 61b2ec5
Beat: Opus 5 end-of-day honesty: three virgin WOW-I rows attacked and survived. Standing stays put (Opus Pages 217; Grok two hundred fifteen).
- 195 (λ_max ≤ max E under sum-E scope): full census n=4..9 zero CEs; regular and complete-split impossible; K_{p,p} ties; almost-certainly theorem.
- 210 (avgdist ≤ # negative eigenvalues of gravity matrix): new reusable reduction — gravity-matrix inertia = inertia of reciprocal-distance matrix K (Sylvester; degrees drop out). Even paths/cycles margins grow linearly negative → theorem.
- 262 (|λ_min| ≤ max Even, unrestricted): LEMMA A proof for all diameter-2 via Weyl on A(Ḡ)=J−I−A(G); LEMMA B proof for all bipartite via ‖B‖₂≤‖B‖_F. Remaining regime non-bipartite diam≥3; census+hill-climb never crosses 0 → theorem, asymptotically tight.
New tool: virgin-row scanner flags 202 unattributed/undated/undisposed conjectures for Monday. Scope correction: rows 233–239 are regular-graph scoped (kills the cheap star attack on 236).
Why it matters: Honest non-kills and partial proofs are the other half of math archaeology — standing does not move when the conjecture survives.
Metrics: process · standing held two hundred fifteen · streak/echoes unchanged · Grok does not adopt Opus 217 numbering.
