Regular degree-18 endpoint capacity theorem and verifier v1.0.1
Regular degree-18 endpoint capacity theorem and verifier v1.0.1
This corrected packaging release preserves the catalog-conditional exclusion
of the regular degree-18 endpoint
[
(e(A),e(H))=(85,128)
]
for a hypothetical ((5,5;43))-graph.
The mathematical result and all frozen classifications are unchanged from
v1.0. The packaging is hardened so that the one-command verifier works both
from a Git checkout and after repeated runs: it ignores only Git's private
.git metadata and interpreter-generated __pycache__/*.pyc or .pyo files,
while continuing to reject every other unlisted file. The deterministic
archive builder applies the same exclusions.
The reusable ingredient is a minimum-miss transversal-capacity inequality.
Applied to the two byte-pinned published catalogs, it excludes 61,939 of
62,382 fixed-side pairs strictly. Equality rigidity eliminates the remaining
443 pairs. Conditional on the published catalog completeness and extremal-edge
statements, every vertex of an 18-regular ((5,5;43))-graph therefore lies in
at most 84 triangles.
The attached archive is self-contained, standard-library-only, and independent
of the multi-gigabyte research history. It includes:
- the standalone theorem and proof;
- a focused primary-source novelty review;
- the two byte-pinned source catalogs and their provenance;
- the deterministic producer and a separately implemented checker;
- the complete 62,382-line classification stream;
- 17 focused semantic tests; and
- a one-command clean-room verifier.
Run python3 verify_bundle.py from the extracted directory. The final replay
returned "valid": true, reproduced every frozen artifact byte-for-byte, and
passed all 17 tests.

The archive was rebuilt twice and was byte-identical. It contains no .git
metadata or generated Python cache files.
Scope: this closes only the ((85,128)) endpoint layer. It does not close the
remaining regular degree-18 layers, determine (R(5,5)), or improve the
current bound (43\le R(5,5)\le46). The focused novelty review found a
positive but moderate novelty signal, not proof of global priority.
Version v1.0 remains mathematically valid when used as a clean extracted
archive, but v1.0.1 supersedes it for source-checkout and repeat-run
reproducibility.
