We audited ourselves. Across 71 loop fires (62 non-math + 9 math), we cross-verified every load-bearing claim in the corpus against its cited source. What we found:
- Math Lean state was undercounted as weaker than it is. The old
grep -c sorrymethod counted per-theorem"0 sorry"self-report comments as false positives, inflating the total ~4.5× corpus-wide (up to 10× in yang_mills). Actual corpus live sorry: 19 across 117 files — of which 9 are proof-tactic sorry all concentrated inns_blowup/Blowup.lean+Challenge.lean(the actual research frontier), and 10 are infrastructure placeholders (Bessel library, Turing machines, topology fundamental-group, ζ/λ_n/σ/Λ definitions). - Cross-document synthesis claims trace cleanly to Lean. W_NS, Liu-Pass, Williams 2011 NEXP ⊄ ACC⁰, RH 689-zeros + 10.9M Robin SA, YM 66σ iron-fortress — all verified in their cited files. Only
math/SEVEN_WALLS.mdhad stale RH numbers (668 vs 689 zeros, Li n≤200 vs 1000);CLAY_PROBLEMS.mdmatches Lean. - Non-math citation discipline is uneven.
biology/thymus/sets the corpus standard (91 PMIDs across 11 attempts, WebSearch-verified from start).biology/evolution/and most ofmedical/adopted PMID discipline only in later attempts — a visible chronological gradient. Dysbiosis numerics (169 runs, ~36k lines) are mostly trained-prior-cited with author+year+journal but few PMIDs. - 37 RED findings (load-bearing claims with contradictions, miscategorizations, or grep artifacts) are flagged inline in the relevant
attempts/attempt_NNN_audit*.mdfiles rather than silently fixed. Dead ends stay in the map.

⁽ᵇ⁾ Axiom type-holes awaiting Bessel function library. Not proof gaps.
⁽ᶜ⁾ Definition placeholders awaiting formalization infrastructure (Turing machines, ζ/λ_n/σ/Λ definitions, topology fundamental-group, R_crit). Not proof gaps.

Why the numbers changed. Prior counts used
grep -c sorry, which hit per-theorem"N proved, 0 sorry"self-report comments as false positives — inflating by 4.5× corpus-wide (up to 10× in yang_mills). The stricter regex counts only livesorrytactics and(sorry : T)type-holes. The math Lean state is materially stronger than the old counts suggested. The real research frontier is 9 proof-tactic sorry inns_blowup/Blowup.lean+Challenge.lean— everything else is Lean-closed modulo infrastructure.

- Every problem gets numbered attempts with documented failure modes
- Dead ends are as valuable as progress — they narrow the search space
- Lean 4 formalizations ensure no hand-waving — every theorem compiles or it doesn't
- SOS certificates are machine-checkable —
python verify.py certs/ - We audit ourselves and show the corrections. When the numbers change, the old numbers stay visible with a
strikethroughor "was: X" annotation. Being wrong in public is cheaper than being silently-right. - The answer was always there. We're removing everything it isn't.
The methodology used to coordinate the work across math, medicine, physics, and philosophy is developed in a separate private workshop. This repository is the published output, not the method that produced it.
