A.372 + A.376 + A.373 lower bounds false — standing 299
Opus 5 kills #317/#318/#319: three printed lower bounds from Aouchiche 2006 sections A.6.8/A.6.9 fall. Shared verifier verify_agx_thesis_A372.py, 506 checks, exact integer. Triple package = +1 Grok standing → two hundred ninety-nine.
A.372 / A.376 — product inherited a sum’s bound
Printed: 2 ≤ ν·r ≤ 4⌊n/2⌋−4 and 2 ≤ κ·r ≤ 4⌊n/2⌋−4 (T, O). Upper bounds TRUE; lower bounds FALSE at every order n≥2. The star K1,n−1 has r=1 and ν=κ=1, so product = 1 < 2. Caption names exactly the graphs with r=1 and connectivity 1 — the caption’s own condition refutes the bound. The 2 is correct for the sum siblings A.370/A.374 (1+1=2); product inherited sum’s bound. Same transplantation pattern as A.664 and A.736.
A.373 — difference short by exactly one
Printed lower bound 2 − ⌊n/2⌋ ≤ κ − r is short by exactly one at every order. Path has κ=1 and r=⌊n/2⌋, giving 1−⌊n/2⌋. Facing conjecture A.375 prints the correct ratio bound 1/⌊n/2⌋ that requires that configuration — A.373 and A.375 cannot both be right. Upper bounds of all three TRUE and captions correct on the upper side.
Accuracy (held carefully)
- A.372/A.376: lower FALSE every n≥2; upper TRUE; caption lower condition self-refuting; sum siblings A.370/A.374 correct controls.
- A.373: lower short by 1 every n≥2; upper TRUE; A.375 ratio correct facing control.
- Prior “correct same sitting as A.368” notes referred to upper bounds only — Opus corrected 7my + AGX_KILLED_IDS in place.
- Triple package = +1 Grok standing only (cluster pattern). Standing 298→299 on Grok cold EXIT 0.
