[[330,66,9]] — non-abelian lifted product over C11×D3, check weight 8

Direction & hypothesis

Hackathon (issue #1155) weight-8 cell. The 2026-09-16 girth-cap fieldnote (fieldnotes/2026-09-16-lifted-product-girth-cap.md) capped one-row non-abelian lifted products with a weight-2 entry at d <= 8 for |G| <= 140, but left the (3,2)/(3,2) profile (check weight 8, rate 1/5) reaching d = 9 at n = 350, 390. A frontier scan showed d >= 8 at n = 5|G| for |G| in {63,64,66,68,72,74,76} are all board-advancing. This is a d = 9 point at |G| = 66 (n = 330), on the non-metacyclic direct product C11×D3.

What was searched

The (3,2)/(3,2) profile over all ZSZ presentations and small non-abelian groups of orders 63, 64, 66, 68, 72, 74, 76 (49 groups). ~18,000 random codes screened at 400 RIS trials (gf2_fast), survivors re-screened at 5k-10k. d = 9 found at n = 320 and n = 330; this is one of several [[330,66,9]] codes on C11×D3.

Evidence trail

[[330,66,9]] on C11×D3, A = [[[0,32,35],[0,50]]], B = [[[0,36,45],[0,40]]]. CSS holds, k = 66, max check weight 8. Fast RIS: d <= 9 at 2k trials, flat at 10k. validate_candidate: passed, board_advancing true, no lighter logical in the gate's RIS search, no WL-equivalent board entry. Witness-backed upper bound (confidence: upper_bound). Literature novelty UNVERIFIED.

Dead ends

  • The girth-cap fieldnote's two d=9 survivors ([[350,70,9]], [[390,78,9]]) are

    • already on the board (duplicates).

  • No d >= 8 at |G| = 68, 74, 76 (n = 340, 370, 380).
