# 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   strange_m5_stabRankP_le_eight in LeanProofs.StrangeM5StabRank, machine-checked by Lean

Implied per-copy exponent γ ≤ 0.3786 against a published 0.3155, no improvement.

Lean proof

This bound is backed by a machine-checked theorem: strange_m5_stabRankP_le_eight in LeanProofs.StrangeM5StabRank. The recorded lake build confirms it compiles.

Compute

1 run; 0.001 CPU-hours; 0.001 h wall-clock; on Apple silicon laptop.

Notes

First entry for this cell. Witness: the eight products of the two m=2 terms, twice, with the two single-copy terms |1⟩, |2⟩; γ = log_3(8)/5 = 0.379, above the published 0.3155 (which the m=2 identity attains), so this fills the cell rather than moving the exponent. Beating the exponent at m=5 would need rank 5. Now at the lean tier: strange_m5_stabRankP_le_eight in LeanProofs.StrangeM5StabRank proves stabRankP 3 |S⟩⊗5 ≤ 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).

  "notes": "First entry for this cell. Witness: the eight products of the two m=2 terms, twice, with the two single-copy terms |1>, |2>; gamma = log_3(8)/5 = 0.379, above the published 0.3155 (which the m=2 identity attains), so this fills the cell rather than moving the exponent. Beating the exponent at m=5 would need rank 5. Now at the lean tier: strange_m5_stabRankP_le_eight in LeanProofs.StrangeM5StabRank proves stabRankP 3 |S>^5 <= 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)."
