Replace the radial (crossing-heavy) figure with two crossing-free planar
drawings (networkx planar_layout / Chrobak-Payne):
fig:n21-elgs -- the six witness Even Level Graphs, parity-coloured, with
the bridge-switch-flipped edges dashed red;
fig:n21-duals -- the six resulting duals, with the introduced bridge edges
solid green.
ELG and dual are drawn with independent planar layouts so neither has any
edge crossing (a flip diagonal would otherwise cross other edges when its
quadrilateral is non-convex, which happens for duals 0 and 3). Drop forced
equal aspect so panels fill and labels separate.

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:
