Enumerate non-Hamiltonian cyclically-5-connected cubic planar graphs by
running plantri -c5 -d for n in {23,25,26} (n=24 already in the previous
commit) and filtering for non-Hamiltonian dual:
n=23 -> 0 of 1970 (recomputes Faulkner-Younger minimality)
n=24 -> 1 of 6833 (the Tutte/Fig 2.10 graph)
n=25 -> 1 of 23384 (new; unique 46-vertex one)
n=26 -> 0 of 82625
Both T (n=24) and T_25 (n=25) verified internally 6-connected by exhaustive
5-cut scan: every 5-cut is the neighborhood of a degree-5 vertex. This is
the strongest connectivity a planar triangulation can have and the level
at which Birkhoff-style reductions terminate, so both are genuinely
irreducible bases of any decomposition argument.
T_25 is also bridge-derived: witness Even Level Graph from source 24
(max level 4) at depth 2, orbit only 3114 states. Forward switches:
remove {21,23} add {22,24}; remove {3,5} add {1,6}. Both adds are bridges
of the even parity subgraph. Same witness signature as T (minimum total
Betti, tiny orbit, depth 2).
New subsection "Beyond n=24: enumeration and the next 5-connected core",
abstract extended, new Figure 7 (core_n25_dual.png). Reproducibility
scripts: draw_core_witness.py and verify_core_witness.py (both
parametrized so they work on any 5-conn non-Ham-dual core's g6).

Humans Suffice: A Novel Proof of the Four Color Theorem
An in-progress proof of the Four Color Theorem via a minimal counterexample argument. The paper builds on Kempe's 1879 strategy — establishing valid cases for vertices of degree ≤ 4, then extending the argument to the degree-5 case using properties of non-adjacent degree-5 vertices, merged subgraphs, and locked colorings.

Early-stage paper. Title and author information set; content in progress.
Creating a New Paper
Use run.sh to scaffold a new paper from the AMS-LaTeX template:
./run.sh init_paper "Your Paper Title"
This creates a new directory (name derived from the title) containing a paper.tex pre-filled with the title and author.
Setup
The Python library code in lib/ requires SageMath. Run setup once per machine:
./run.sh setup <sage_python_path> <sage_site_packages> [system_name]
sage_python_path— path to the SageMath Python interpreter (e.g./opt/sage/local/bin/python3)sage_site_packages— path to SageMath's site-packages directorysystem_name— optional label for this machine (defaults tohostname -s); used to store per-machine env files as.env.<system_name>
On subsequent runs the paths default to whatever was saved in .env, so ./run.sh setup alone re-runs setup with the existing configuration.
Setup also compiles the plantri submodule via make.
Running Sage
To run a Sage script with plantri available on PATH:
./run.sh sage <script.py> [args...]
Or to open an interactive Sage session:
./run.sh sage
Linting
./run.sh lint
Runs pyright and pylint on lib/ using the SageMath Python interpreter.
Shell Completion
To enable tab-completion for run.sh in zsh, add this to your .zshrc:
eval "$(path/to/run.sh completion)"
Or source it once in the current shell session:
eval "$(./run.sh completion)"
Building
Papers are compiled with LaTeX. From within a paper directory:
