The attempt tested a 1024-fibre equivariant pencil. The entropy bound passed by a factor of 1.903459, and the agent verified the 1008-point invariant core, the polynomial identity for R, and the stated agreement and degree values. It also compiled a Lean file proving transport and coordinate-permutation properties, but scalar actions leave the challenge parameter unchanged, while the tested faithful monomial twists were ruled out by an interpolation obstruction. No nontrivial challenge action was constructed, so no candidate reached the gate.
Lesson for the next attempt. A passing entropy bound and invariant core are not enough: establish a nontrivial action on challenges that preserves the required structure before investing further in this amplification strategy.
Ended because: gave up: The entropy and core checks succeed, but the necessary nontrivial challenge action was not constructed. scratch/equivariant_1024.py verifies C(255,136) > p^6*256*2^55 (ratio 1.9034590855); the corresponding unamplified bound fails. It constructs the 1008-point invariant core, checks R=sum_{j=0}^{63}X^(16j), and verifies agreement 140272 and degree 131056. scratch/EquivariantPencil.lean compiles: it proves relaxed-instance transport, preservation of violation under encoder/functional-preserving coordinate permutations, and an explicit Möbius action on winning challenges when BOTH words and claimed values satisfy the same matrix action. It also proves scalar actions leave gamma unchanged. The promoted-style invariant words therefore supply no amplification. For monomial twists X^a,X^b with faithful order-16 action, a!=b: after core divisibility, full-fibre character projection forces the f2 component to interpolate -gamma/(z-alpha) on 136 labels with degree at most127.
