From 22acd2899958def0d103f11da49c2c4a499be773 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: YurenHao0426 Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2026 21:37:55 -0500 Subject: The missing term was unary: omit-size solved at its ceiling in 1.4s Adversarial review of the artifacts found three of my numbers to be artifacts of my own code. All three reproduced here before acceptance: - anchor_bound presented probe rows in the same index order on both sides, so exact twins had their tie broken onto the diagonal. 0.997 -> 0.920 on omit-size. Fixed by scrambling the T-side presentation. - The truth is not a strict local minimum: 51 transpositions have exactly zero energy delta. fast_pair_descent only looked stationary because its break test treats zero as no-improvement. - scipy's FAQ takes no n_init, so it was swallowed into unknown_options and 'FAQ x30 restarts' computed bit-identically to plain FAQ. Replaced with a real restart loop over P0='randomized'. The blind ceiling for omit-size is 0.836, not 1.0: the text field has 51 exact transposition automorphisms, so T[s,s] is bitwise identical to T and no objective f(V, P T P^T) can separate an orbit at any order. Every synthetic accuracy was being divided by the wrong denominator. The fifteen failed solvers share one property -- all purely quadratic or purely spectral, none with a node-level term. Eight moments of each node's own field row, blended with the quadratic term through Frank-Wolfe, reach 0.837 with an energy gap of exactly zero. The term must stay in the loop: as a seed for pure-quadratic descent it scores 0.21, pinned through the iterations it scores 0.84 -- which is also why amplification plateaued, being itself pure-quadratic.
