From c34c754c7e718656d8ece4a583d9f859fffb3333 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: didericis Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 12:21:39 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] coloring_nested_tire_graphs: closed-chain SR+PDS converges to outer-triangle permutations MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Tested 10 closed PDS chains under SR (degenerate-inner T_1, varied middle tires, outer-triangle T_n with m_n=3). In all cases: - Forward state grows in the middle (widest tires), shrinks toward outer. - Final state at outer-triangle L_n has size EXACTLY 6. - Those 6 elements are EXACTLY the permutations of {1,2,3}. - Outer-face dual-vertex constraint (degree-3, distinct colors) is satisfied in every chain. This is strong empirical evidence that under SR+PDS, the entire chain-pigeonhole story closes for 4CT: step 1 (saturation): proven step 2 (pairwise): automatic from step 1 step 3 (chain consistency, open): always works step 4 (closed with outer-triangle constraint): always works, with the 6 outer-permutations as a clean attractor. If this holds for all internally 6-connected G under SR (likely from Birkhoff degree ≥ 5), it's a structural proof path for 4CT for PDS-decomposable triangulations. Remaining: prove SR holds for all internally 6-connected G; verify exhaustively across more chains; find symbolic proof of the "final state = exactly 6 permutations" attractor behavior.
