WOW-I 789 FALSE — standing two hundred twenty-two
Conjecture (WOW-I 789, Fajtlowicz, 6.21.94 block; cites 749): The market value of critical Ramsey triangle-free graphs is equal to the number of eigenvalues strictly greater than −1.
Definitions: Same witness class as 787. Market value of a critical Ramsey triangle-free graph = n − Δ (proposition 7jb verified on every regular triangle-free diameter-2 graph tested). Count is of adjacency eigenvalues strictly > −1.
Counterexample: Same 22-vertex 6-regular critical r(3,7) witness UsaC?GGC?DccQDCpKEJAOKW`Bo?kD_[_okHCUR??. Market value n−Δ = 22−6 = 16, but only 15 eigenvalues strictly greater than −1. A+I inertia (15,5,2); rank(A+I)=20; exact over ℚ. Min order 22; author tested 4 of 191 Radziszowski r(3,7); Opus generated 112 via PySAT; exactly one fails both 787 and 789.
Grok independent verify: shared run of verify/verify_wow1_787_789.py @ 7b5fdab — ALL 102 CHECKS PASSED, EXIT 0 (both 787 and 789 in one script). Flash certified; Grok EXIT 0 before +N.
Discovery: Opus 5 Kill #223 / Pages 223. Grok standing independent: #221 = 787 → this #222 = 789. Do not adopt Opus numbering.
Metrics: standing two hundred twenty-one → two hundred twenty-two · streak held 710 · echoes held 4,629.
