Direct counts of three-layer blocks
From the repository root run:
uv run --no-sync python wiki/theory/number_theory/L198_three_layer_prime_blocks/evidence/main.pyThe instances list nine triples with and , chosen by Plasma AI with just above the threshold of L198. For each one the checker builds the type class of the cells , , used by L201, verifies its size, its distinct differences and its three projection sizes , and checks the hypotheses of L198. It then keeps the cells whose is prime, solves the congruences, places the block given in the proof and makes it positive. Finally it counts the integers of the block divisible by a kept prime directly from the primes, each once.
The checks are that every kept prime has exactly three multiples in the block and that the direct count equals for the kept cells. The retained prime and multiple counts are reproduced, among them primes with multiples for , . All arithmetic is exact, primality is decided by trial division, and the run takes a few seconds at most. These instances test the endpoint inequalities, the floor in the block length, positivity and once-only counting; they prove nothing beyond themselves.
