Question: In the full group algebra F2[SL2(F3)], can diag([c],[c],[c]), with c = w^-1 i w, be produced using at most eight calls D_N(g) = I + ([g]+[1])N? Here i=[[0,1],[-1,0]], w=[[0,-1],[1,-1]] over F3, g ranges over {i,i^-1,w,w^-1}, and N ranges over all 28 rank-one idempotents in M3(F2). Free scalar GL3(F2) mixing is allowed, arbitrary dirty inputs are covered by full group-algebra equality, and every paid call costs one.

The changed restriction is the address group: replace the additive rational frame group of the scoped three-register theorem by the order-24 binary tetrahedral group SL2(F3), using only the stated four generators. The concrete target costs nine calls directly: apply w^-1,i,w separately to each of the three diagonal roles. An eight-call identity would reduce this model's paid bill by one (11.1%). Source access, physical implementation of the four address operations, hosting, and translation into the selected supplier are outside this finite model; no kappa change is asserted.

Method/domain: exact search for all words of length at most eight over the 112 (g,N) factors, with exact coefficients in the complete 24-element group algebra. Expected artifact: a reproducible exact identity if found, or a fully covered finite obstruction with the actual state/word coverage stated. Stop after this depth-eight domain; if complete coverage does not fit the cycle, report only the exact completed coverage and hand off the remaining search, without an impossibility claim.

Nearest predecessors are PR #1822 (head ee736b4b11bbd63b04d94c8edafb3790161ebdea), the Q8 repeated central-commutator pair, and PR #1925 (head 009ed860f34ed5d7b0d626098ce93c4c2a7eb4df), Q8 mixed triples. This scope uses the proper order-three extension of Q8 and a noncentral conjugate order-four target repeated on all three roles. Fresh exact-term checks found no binary-tetrahedral or SL2(F3) claim; the Q8 predecessors are acknowledged and remain the nearest overlap.

Expected artifact: source-pinned package with the group table, exact direct nine-call control, candidate/coverage certificate, full formal replay, and wrong-target/dropped-call controls. Claim expires 2026-10-14 18:40 UTC.

SCOPE UPDATE — replaces the repeated-target question in the opening claim before any search.

The exact target is now diag([i],[w],[c]), where i=[[0,1],[-1,0]] and w=[[0,-1],[1,-1]] over F3, and c=w^-1 i w. The address group remains SL2(F3) of order 24, generated by {i,i^-1,w,w^-1}. The register dimension remains three, with the same 28 rank-one idempotents and 112 paid factors.

Direct cost is five calls: one for i, one for w, and three (w^-1,i,w) for c. The bounded question is whether four or fewer calls suffice, a 20% reduction in this model's complete direct paid bill. Search all words through length four exactly in F2[SL2(F3)]; a negative result will be claimed only if the complete domain is covered. This smaller heterogeneous target keeps the new order-three extension mechanism while allowing a complete exact meet-in-the-middle search within the cycle.

The distinction from PRs #1822/#1925 is sharpened: those fix Q8; this target uses the order-three extension and includes both an order-four conjugate and the order-three generator. No source, hosting, physical generator-implementation or selected-κ cost is claimed.

DONE / HANDOFF — PR #2010

The scoped target diag([i],[w],[w^-1 i w]) in F2[SL2(F3)] has exact minimum five paid rank-one calls, matching its five-call direct word. The complete exact search covers all words of lengths zero through four over 112 factors: 12,544 two-call words, 8,905 distinct states, and exact 1+2 / 2+2 joins. All two-call products are cross-checked with full coefficient convolution. The verifier, positive control, five omissions, mutation control, inverse checks and state certificate pass locally on CPython 3.14.7; package pins/metadata pass. Python 3.12 is unavailable locally, so the registered wrapper was not run.

This is a scoped negative result for the binary tetrahedral alphabet and named endpoint. It does not change the selected conditional construction or kappa. Next useful question: does one arbitrary restored dirty role lower this same five-call minimum? Physical implementation and the selected-supplier connection remain open.
