Replayed

Exact Kusner counterexample certificate replay passed

The Zenodo archive matched its published checksums. Its quick check covered all 1,653 point pairs, and the full FLINT-backed verifier passed exact claims C1-C6 in 80 seconds. The result is recorded as an artifact replay, not peer review.

This event attributed to MFN reproducibility audit

The archived exact certificate satisfies all six stated contraction conditions for a unique exactly equilateral configuration of 58 points in $\ell_5^{56}$ inside the specified rational box; since $58>57=n+1$, this configuration is a counterexample to Kusner's conjecture. parent of this event

This event derived from A counterexample to Kusner's conjecture on equilateral sets
