- Disproof remark now records the canonical graph6 string (via
G.canonical_label().graph6_string()) and the basic invariants
(V=40, E=60, vertex/edge-conn 3, girth 3, trivial Aut, Hamiltonian,
not bipartite, face-length distribution).
- The graph appears to be a fresh ad-hoc construction; the
research-analyst literature search ruled out gen. Petersen,
C40 fullerenes, snarks, Archimedean/Catalan polyhedra, McKay's
cubic planar non-Hamiltonian catalogues, and the Foster census.
- counterexample_conj_5_5.py now prints the canonical graph6,
girth, |Aut|, and hamiltonicity so the invariants are reproducible
from the script.
- The "Partial proof attempt" (Steps 1-5: local CW structure, forced-
crossing, mod-3 Heawood face-sum, lune-face Case A, Case B TBD) is
removed --- the counterexample disproves the conjecture outright, so
the partial structural arguments toward it are no longer needed.
Paper drops from 19 to 17 pages.

Adds the concrete construction (40 vertices, 60 edges, cubic + planar
+ proper 3-edge-coloured) on which h_φ is simultaneously constant on
two Kempe cycles sharing an edge:
- K_{red, blue} = 8-cycle (the outer frame): all h_φ = -1
- K_{red, green} = 12-cycle (outer frame + upper-left ladder side):
all h_φ = -1
- They share the colour-red edge (0, 7) (and others).
The graph is drawn in TikZiT and stored as
papers/face_monochromatic_pairs/constant_heawood_counterexample.tikz
The Sage transcription + Heawood/Kempe verification + PNG renderer is
papers/face_monochromatic_pairs/experiments/counterexample_conj_5_5.py
Rendered PNG (with the four bent outer-face / trapezoid arcs matching
the tikz drawing) is at
papers/face_monochromatic_pairs/figures/no-two-constant-kempe-counterexample.png
Globally h_φ has 16 vertices at +1 and 24 at -1; the +1 vertices are
concentrated in the inner "tilted ladder" region, leaving the outer
and the K_{red,green}-extension all at -1. This is the structural
reason both Kempe cycles can be constant.
Also includes the TikZiT styles file default.tikzstyles defining the
red/blue/green edge styles used by the .tikz file.
