AI provenance statement

Substantial portions of the mathematical exploration and the initial manuscript were generated with the assistance of GPT-6 Astra Pro and Opus 5.5. The contributor selected the problem, directed the AI-assisted process, curated the resulting material, and is responsible for this submission.

The argument was subsequently subjected to a separate AI-assisted audit, including exact reruns of the two verification programs and a separate implementation of key finite computations. These checks do not constitute expert peer review or a complete formal verification of the proof.
