"""For every chord-apex+Kempe colouring of every reduced dual (up to
|V(G)| ≤ 18), check whether there exists a "deciding face": a face f
of the reduced dual whose boundary lies entirely in V(K_b) ∪ V(K_c)
and whose length is not divisible by 3.

If a deciding face exists, then under the (hypothetical) constancy
hypothesis h_φ ≡ ε on V(K_b) ∪ V(K_c), Heawood's face-sum identity
gives ε · |f| ≡ 0 (mod 3), which forces ε ≡ 0 since |f| ≢ 0 (mod 3) --
contradicting ε ∈ {±1}. So existence of a deciding face in every
chord-apex+Kempe colouring of every reduced dual would *prove*
Conjecture 5.1 via the contrapositive of Lemma 5.3.

This script reports, per (n_G, colouring): does a deciding face exist?
And if not, why not (insufficient coverage, all in-coverage faces have
length ≡ 0 mod 3, etc.).
