# 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

verified certificate script asserted: CERTIFIED chi(N^1) >= 2, by an argument declared exact throughout (no floating-point margin)

Notes

Settles χ(N) = 2 with the rank-2 witness of the same cell. Exact throughout: a stabilizer state has one modulus on its support, and the moduli 1/√6 and 2/√6 differ, decided in sympy. The single-copy cell carries the trivial exponent and moves nothing; it is filed so the orbit page shows χ = 2 at m = 1 as it does for S, T3, and T5.
