T-126: Undilated n51 construction over Q(sqrt2)
V3 C3 Upper bound confirmed
Complete independently reviewed exact replay, independently re-implemented, confirms the undilated 51-square construction ceiling <= (16+5sqrt(2))/3. This is finite feasibility, not equality with the optimum or the unconfirmed source contact count.
Significance, composition and next rung
- Significance
- Xu's new 51-square arrangement at its exact side (16 + 5 sqrt 2)/3, about 0.0104 below the ceiling Daniel's certificate of the catalogue packing held (T-101), and the side the case now holds. A new arrangement lowering a case ceiling is a case result, S3, as T-125's rational certificate of the same packing is; the exact closed form is the citable detail and not the claim's weight, where an exact form alone (T-120 to T-123) is S2. No optimum established. Confirmed on 11 October.
- Next rung
- C4 requires two distinct accepted confirming adversarial reviews and an actual human oversight record; neither drawing nor admission supplies them.
- Novelty
- previously-published Present in an identified source
