WSFC: Worm Sequence Freedom Closure

Worm Sequence Freedom Closure · research-level provisional closure for the broadworm breadth sequence and the seven 2007 conjectures; not a Moser-area result

WSFC (Worm Sequence Freedom Closure) rewrites 'the worm problem' as a nested sequence of finite-freedom possibility spaces Γ0 ⊆ Γ1 ⊆ … and demands four gates — freedom exhaustion, effective approximation, task stability, value squeeze — so that finite-stage answers provably converge to the continuum answer. It is not a Moser-area result. Its only computed object is the broadworm breadth sequence t_n (the largest minimum width of a unit-length polygonal arc with at most n segments; t_n rises with n towards the known constant β ≈ 0.438925369), and its target is the seven general-n conjectures of the 2007 paper by Panraksa, Wetzel and Wichiramala. Moser appears only in R01, which itself says: 'the most important conclusion of this round is not a new Moser worm area bound.' 'Closure' here means finite-stage values converging to a known constant, not a new constant. The core manoeuvre restricts the candidate optimizers to a 'support-tangent class' (each side edge tangent to the unit circle about the opposite endpoint), which collapses the 2n − 2 vertex degrees of freedom to one or two parameters with closed forms.

Honest status: the closed-form t_n inside the support-tangent class (n ≥ 4) match the 2007 table; the new t₇ = 0.438754439 and t₈ = 0.438816161 are floating-point minima of the reduced formulas, not certified enclosures. The load-bearing hypothesis G0 — the true optimizers lie in that class — reaches only 'research-proof-level provisional closure'. R27's calibrated statement: the correct authority level of the seven conjectures is not 'WSFC solves everything' but 2 classical source closures (convexity and drape, consequences of Adhikari–Pitman 1989) plus 5 WSFC provisional research closures, most of them conditional on G0. There is no proof assistant, independent review or peer review; none of the sixteen Lean files has been compiled, and the later ones are mostly theorem …_TARGET : True := by trivial placeholders. While preparing these pages this site recomputed every closed-form value the papers print, and all reproduce; a model-free differential-evolution search over all vertex coordinates reached the reduced-class value for n = 4, 5 (both seeds) and n = 6 (one of two seeds) and never exceeded it for n = 3 to 8 (n = 7, 8 under-converged) — none of which proves G0.

Authorship and provenance: the headers of the main documents of every round read 'Author: Neo.K; AI research collaborator: Aletheia / OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol' (WSFC-00 adds the institution EveMissLab / 一言諾科技有限公司); key findings, state crystals and notes carry no author line. Traces of the execution environment (/mnt/data, artifact_tool, ChatGPT citation markers) indicate that GPT wrote and ran the rounds under Neo's direction; this is not Claude's work. The 'certificates' and 'MACHINE-CHECKED' are checks by the authors' AI in SymPy/Fraction/mpmath, mostly on toy cases, not a proof assistant. Priority is never claimed; R27 names outside review and contacting the authors as the next step.

The R28 'Independent Verification Pack' verified no mathematics: it is a protocol for future reviewers; its shipped script only checks file hashes and the dependency graph, the output was logged by the authors' AI runtime, and no human or third-party attestation exists. R28 itself says this round does not claim independent review complete, novelty, or formal verification; its status is NO AUTHORITY UPGRADE, and no Round-29 replay exists after it.

Missing files, recoveries, and one calibration: the original R19 is unavailable; an R18/R20-based reconstruction dated 2026-10-08 is now provided (R20 builds on it; the recovery bundle also lists it as MISSING and leaves only its intended topic, 'Refinement Chain / Closure Algebra', positioned between R18 and R20); the original standalone R22 package is unavailable; its complete R28 copy is now shipped as a standalone reconstructed package (intended topic 'G1 — Full-Domain Coverage', between R21 and R23). On 2026-10-07 GPT recovered, from the ChatGPT Library / Drive, R12 (with State Crystal 12; the original R12 package is unavailable; a new reconstructed implementation is now shipped) and the original R23 package (its main document is byte-identical to the R28 copy; the key finding, state crystal, verifier script and certificates now exist too), and decided that the canonical R04 is 'Support-Class Necessity I' (the earlier 'Finite Convexity and Obstacle Reduction' draft is kept and marked superseded); all 27 checksums in the bundle match (bundle SHA-256 5532652b…). WSFC-00 rests on five prerequisite documents that are neither on this site nor in this folder (SDRPC_00, MCC_OE_00/01, Projection_Possibility_Space_Paper_04, and the serializable-mathematical-constants proposition). One value bound is unreconciled: R01's 1/(n − 1) versus R22's 1/⌊n/2⌋. The baselines on the Moser's Worm Problem case (disc, 30-degree sector, Wetzel triangle) omit the Keller bound of 2026-09-18 that R01 cites; aligning them is suggested.

Reading path: start with R27 (the authority ledger) and WSFC-00 (the non-claims); for the mechanism read R01 → R03; to see how a real gap was found and repaired read R05 → R06; for the conditional structure of the global chain read R21 → R24 → R25–R26; R28 shows that no outside review has happened. R07–R18 are certificate and Lean-draft infrastructure (mostly toy examples) with no pages of their own: they are listed in the table below and available for download.

Standalone reader pages · 17 pages / 20 full texts

All 17 reader pages now offer complete Chinese and English texts, comprising 20 bodies (R12 and R22 each separate the paper from its reconstructed-package note; R25 and R26 share a page; the early and canonical R04 versions remain separate). Original or reconstructed sources and translations are distinguished; translation does not upgrade research evidence. Download-only material remains in its original form.

All documents · Files

The original bytes of the documents with pages and of the remaining files, unmodified; the 25 original zips are attached too; the files recovered on 2026-10-07 are in the recovered/ subfolder. The other rounds carry a one-line claim and a flag ('none' = no overclaim found; 'mild' = wording a reader could over-read, or corrected later in the series). The complete archive is kept in AMRAL's research archive and verified per file by SHA-256. Original bytes are retained; reconstructed material is distinguished by its directory and page labels.
