didericis 65eeb607e1 coloring_nested_tire_graphs: rename "partial tire facial dual" → "tire annular face connector"
Renames Definition 1.16 from "Partial tire facial dual" to "Tire
annular face connector" to match the family of "tire annular ..."
terminology (cf. Definition 1.15 "Tire annular subgraph").

Symbol T'_{f'} unchanged.

Updates:
- Definition 1.16 title and body wording
- Label changed to def:tire-annular-face-connector
- Figure suptitle in fig_facial_dual_choices.png
- Module docstring of draw_facial_dual_choices.py

Paper stays at 10 pages.

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.

Plane Depth Labelling

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 directory
  • system_name — optional label for this machine (defaults to hostname -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:
