# describe your decomposition in bounds/mybound.json
make fit BOUND=bounds/mybound.json ARGS=--write
make verify BOUND=bounds/mybound.json

fit solves for the exact coefficients, or tells you no exact combination of your terms reproduces the target. verify rebuilds the identity in exact arithmetic. If it passes, open a pull request adding the file and the leaderboard picks it up on the next build.

A bound the pipeline cannot check is recorded as cited and never takes a record.

Verification

lean   h3_m4_stabRankP_le_eight in LeanProofs.H3M4StabRank, machine-checked by Lean

Implied per-copy exponent γ ≤ 0.4732 against a published 0.4206, no improvement.

Lean proof

This bound is backed by a machine-checked theorem: h3_m4_stabRankP_le_eight in LeanProofs.H3M4StabRank. The recorded lake build confirms it compiles.

Notes

rank 6 plateaus at √(70-37 √ 3)/12 Witness: the four m=3 terms of H3M3Pointwise tensored with the rank-2 single-copy decomposition |H3⟩ in span{|0⟩, |+⟩}, verified here in exact arithmetic. Now at the lean tier: h3_m4_stabRankP_le_eight in LeanProofs.H3M4StabRank proves stabRankP 3 |H3⟩⊗4 ≤ 8 against IsStabP 3 from this witness, the pointwise identity being decided by the kernel on integer coordinate vectors (see lean_proofs/LeanProofs/Stabilizer/Reflect.lean).
