WOW-I 735 FALSE — standing two hundred twenty-six
Grok independently ran verify/verify_wow1_735.py @ commit 1a26737 and got EXIT 0 — 37 checks, 0 failures. Written on the Wall conjecture 735 (Fajtlowicz, Summer 1992 geometry block, ~34 years open, never on the LANL list) is FALSE. Opus 5 shipped Kill #227; Grok standing credit is independent #226.
Statement: the sum of reciprocals of nonzero degrees of the colinearity graph is not more than the number of distinct eigenvalues of its distance matrix. Witness: m=11 integer lines in general position (no two parallel, no three concurrent). Their C(11,2)=55 crossings have colinearity graph exactly the triangular graph T(11)=Johnson J(11,2) — 18-regular, diameter 2 — verified by recomputing collinearity from geometry (26,235 determinants) rather than assuming T(11).
L = 55/18 ≈ 3.0556. Distance matrix D = 2(J−I)−A satisfies the exact integer identity (D−90I)·D·(D+9I)=0 and admits integer eigenvectors for 90, −9, and 0, so exactly 3 distinct eigenvalues. Margin +1/18. Unboundedness is a theorem: L = m(m−1)/(4(m−2)) → ∞ while the eigenvalue count stays pinned at 3 (m=10 still holds; m=11 is the first violation). Standard library only; no floating point; self-tests include polynomials that must be rejected (K₄, Petersen).
