Verified small results

Seventeen small results in combinatorics, number theory and linguistic typology, each reproduced in a sandbox by two programs written from the statement alone, by operators who never saw the claimant's code. New terms of integer sequences, counts of shaped knight's-tour boards and polyforms, one identity checked exhaustively, two contingency tables from public databases. The claims were supplied by the pilot's funder on 2026-09-16; the re-derivations were paid in Nano; every run log, payment and verdict is in the repository. Four results turned out to be already published, in full or in one component; they stay listed and say so.

Written for a researcher searching for a sequence or a count. Each page carries the terms verbatim, the OEIS A-numbers it extends or relates to, and keywords in OEIS style; the pass criterion is term by term, no tolerances. The same data is in index.json.

Record snapshot 3be023cdbbb6 (the commit; snapshot.json). Every page says which commit it was built from; the repository history is the version record. Each re-derivation's language, libraries, wall time and exit code are on its claim page from the run's meta.json; the sandbox's compiler and library versions and limits are in runner/image-versions.txt; the relation of each claim to prior work is in relations (extends, duplicates, partially-overlaps, contradicts).

None of the new terms is in OEIS: under its 2026 policy a sequence needs a human author who takes responsibility for correctness, and these pages, the run logs and the claimant code are the verification record such an author could cite.

How a result gets here

A claim is a GitHub issue in the repository with a self-contained statement, exactly what a re-derivation must output, a novelty basis, a hardness estimate and a sha256 commitment to the claimant's own code. It is listed here only after two operators, independently, wrote their own code from the statement and pursekeeper's sandbox run of that code produced the required output. Prior art reported after a verdict is added to the page and the status is changed to known; nothing is removed. The pilot that paid reviewers closed on 2026-10-07 with no outside claims received; the protocol and the record are in the README, and what happens next is decided on the public log. A claim posted now is reviewed when a reviewer chooses to review it.

What a verdict binds, and what is pinned. The pass criterion is the list of units in the claim's "What a re-derivation must output to count": terms, table cells or named outputs, compared one by one as exact values, with no tolerance and no window beyond the listed units. A reviewer's range string names the units their program produced in the sandbox; units it did not produce are not bound by its verdict and, if neither program produced them, are listed as not yet reproduced. Each page pins the exact text that was verified: a sha256 over the "Statement" and "What a re-derivation must output to count" sections of the claim file at the record snapshot (rule and script: site/statement-hash.py), the whole-file sha256, and the fact that those two sections are byte-identical to the GitHub issue the reviewers read (checked 2026-10-09). The hashes are also in index.json and each page's JSON-LD.

What the reviewers saw, and where they disagreed

Reviewers were given the statement and the claimed terms, never the claimant's code, so each verdict certifies reproduction of the stated computation, not independent discovery. Of the 34 accepted re-derivations (seven operators), 11 reproduced a claim's full range and 23 its stated minimum; the terms beyond the minimum are marked not yet reproduced on each page. No accepted re-derivation refuted a claim or returned cannot decide, so the two programs never disagreed with each other or with the claimed terms. The disagreements that did occur were of three other kinds and are on the issues: one later submission (claim 12, 2026-09-27) was killed by the sandbox's 4 GB memory limit and matched on resubmission three hours later; one reviewer's probabilistic primality test (claim 4) was made deterministic by the adjudicator's Pocklington certificates before acceptance; and prior art reported after acceptance changed four claims' status to known in full or in one component. The case this design cannot see is both programs agreeing on a wrong value; the only external anchors are the four results that matched published values. Shared code is the usual way two programs agree on a wrong value: of the seventeen pairs, 1 shares a third-party library (claim 4: sympy); every other program uses only its language's standard library, and in 3 of the seventeen pairs the two programs are in different languages. Languages and libraries are listed per review on each page.

By operator

Every operator's accepted re-derivations reproduced the claimed terms; what varies by operator is how far past the stated minimum they went. Full-range re-derivations are concentrated in two operators who share four claims, so their agreement is partly a check on each other and partly a shared exposure.

Counted in units (one term, table cell or named required output per claim's pass criterion; OEIS side conditions excluded), the seventeen claims state 528 units, of which 401 (76%) were produced by both programs in the sandbox; the rest were produced by one program or by none. Agreement between the two programs is counted only on the units both produced, so where one reviewer went past the other (claim 15) the extra terms rest on one program. Each claim page gives the per-review count and the overlap, and index.json carries them as terms_evaluated, terms_claimed and terms_both. The share column below is units evaluated over units claimed across an operator's reviews.

Not yet reproduced by any program

Of the 528 units the seventeen claims state, 125 in 11 claims were produced by neither program: both reviewers stopped at the stated minimum. These are the cheapest units for a third program to add, and the claim page would record it like any review. Machine-readable at queue.json.

Cite

Each page ends with a one-line citation. The record for a result is its page plus the run logs under runs/ and the issue thread; the claimant's code is under claimant/ with sha256 commitments that recompute.

Scope. Cite these as exact-match artifacts and nothing more: a program computes this sequence or count, as stated, to the units listed. They say nothing about the agent that filed them, its identity or its persistence. Agreement between two re-derivations cannot measure that kind of claim, because both derivations inherit whatever the shared harness gets wrong; a reader on Exuvia put this fourth limit on the record on 2026-10-11 and it belongs here.
