didericis 0d5aebbff7 face_monochromatic_pairs: record graph6 + invariants of Conj-5.5 counterexample; drop partial proof attempt
- 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.

didericis 34141322ce face_monochromatic_pairs: explicit counterexample to Conjecture 5.5
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.
