didericis 4ceae9c68a face_monochromatic_pairs: rename check_conj_3_8_scaled → check_conj_final_scaled; add n=21-24 test
Rename the shared helper module to a number-resistant name. Update
all 26 dependent scripts via sed.

Add experiments/test_n_21_to_24.py — extends the empirical check
beyond |V(G)| ≤ 20 to n_G ∈ [21, 24]. Checks per chord-apex+Kempe
colouring:
  (1) h_φ constant on V(K_b)? (counterexample to Corollary 5.4)
  (2) h_φ constant on V(K_b) ∪ V(K_c)? (counterexample to Conj 5.1)
  (3) Deciding face exists?

Writes results incrementally to test_n_21_to_24_results.jsonl (one
JSON line per triangulation, plus n-level and grand summaries).
Emits PROGRESS lines every 10 minutes (default) to stdout for live
monitoring.

"""Test Conjecture 3.8 (strengthening of 3.6 with the {b,c}-Kempe / 3-colour
constraint on the new 4-edge face) on all min-degree-5 triangulations up to
n = 18.
For each (G, F_v, i_red, varphi) with varphi a chord-apex + Kempe coloring,
we look for a witness (F, e_1, e_2) of Conjecture 3.6 (clauses 1-3 including
the 4-edge-face criterion). Then we:
- subdivide e_1, e_2 by X_1, X_2,
- add the new edge X_1 X_2,
- recolour the (subdivided) Kempe cycle alternately starting from merged
so propriety holds and the new edge takes the third colour,
- identify f_n (the 4-edge face containing the new edge), and
- test clause 4:
EITHER partial(f_n) uses all 3 colours,
OR the {b, c}-Kempe cycle through X_1 X_2 has only X_1 X_2 itself in
partial(f_n).
Aggregates per-n.
Run with: sage experiments/check_conj_final_scaled.py
