The entry point checks that the retained certificate
assets/couplings.json is present and runs the
probe util/verify.py in its own interpreter, failing
when the probe exits nonzero. It uses the root Python environment and the
shared failure harness, reads only the certificate, and writes no output
files. Run it from the repository root:
uv run --no-sync python wiki/research/erdos_644/evidence/main.pyThe probe uses only the Python standard library and exact rational arithmetic. It examines all active-constraint choices for the seven-dimensional probability polytope , discards singular and infeasible bases, and finds exactly 52 distinct vertices. The certificate supplies one representative of each of their 16 orbits under permutations of the three seed points. Every representative is expressed as a convex combination of vectors , with pairwise disjoint.
States are bit masks in the order
, namely integers 0 through 7.
Each coupling entry is [rational coefficient, [I, J, K]].
This is a finite, exhaustive, rational computational certificate, not a proof-assistant formalization. Its mathematical reduction and the integral rounding argument are in constant-composition families. No numerical linear-programming solver or floating-point calculation is used by the probe. The certificate checks only the finite three-point polytope inclusion and does not certify either unrestricted assertion of Problem 644.
