Certified fused order peaks at 38 working values

Scope / assumptions: Scalar live-value model with overwrite on final use; fixed DAG only.

Acceptance criteria: Publish an exact topological schedule, replay all arithmetic identities, state the storage model, and separate fixed-DAG bounds from global circuit optimality.

Fixed rank-49 matrix circuit scheduled at peak 38

Prior state unknownCertified fused order peaks at 38 working values

Lean certificates and an exact independent replay establish a 38-value fused schedule for the public 205-operation DAG, down from its 80-value sequential order. The result is a storage schedule for this fixed circuit, not a new rank or arithmetic record.

Claims and attempts

Scoped claims

Formally verified

For the audited public rank-49 circuit, reordered left, right, and post maps have peak live-intermediate counts 7, 6, and 8, and a fused topological schedule for the complete 205-operation DAG has peak 38 instead of 80.

Inputs and caller-provided output slots are excluded; a gate may overwrite an intermediate operand on its final use; counts are scalar and exclude instruction, coefficient, cache, SIMD, and spill storage.
