Add bridge-derived census (n=6..10) to the disjunction section
Cross-tabulate bridge-derived vs intertwining-tree coverage: the bridge-derived share falls from 100% (n=6) to 62.7% (n=10), the disjunction never relies on it alone, and the "neither" column is identically zero throughout. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

|

maximal planar graph is an intertwining tree, which is why the
|

disjunction holds trivially in that range.
|
||||
|
||||
The intertwining-tree disjunct therefore carries the conjecture by itself
|
||||
for all small $n$, but this leaves open how much of the load the
|
||||
bridge-derived disjunct is independently able to bear. To measure that we
|
||||
classified every triangulation at $6 \leq n \leq 10$ as bridge-derived or
|
||||
not, deciding bridge-derivedness exhaustively: a triangulation is
|
||||
bridge-derived iff some valid parity partition admits an Even Level Graph
|
||||
in its backward bridge-switch orbit (a search feasible only at these
|
||||
sizes). Table~\ref{tab:bridge-census} records the result. Three features
|
||||
stand out. First, the bridge-derived disjunct is substantive but far from
|
||||
universal on its own: its share of all triangulations falls steadily, from
|
||||
all of them at $n = 6$ to under two-thirds by $n = 10$. Second, the
|
||||
disjunction never relies on it in this range -- the \emph{intertwining
|
||||
only} column counts triangulations covered by the tree disjunct alone, and
|
||||
it grows, while no triangulation here is bridge-derived without also being
|
||||
an intertwining tree. Third, and consistent with the conjecture, the
|
||||
\emph{neither} column is identically zero throughout.
