Theorem U′ certified at sides seven and eight and on four cells that are not cubic; the counterexample search

The same proofs at cubic sides 7 and 8 and on four cells that are not cubic; run as a search for a counterexample, which found none.

Theorem U′ holds on the cubic cells of side 7 and 8 and on (3,3,9), (4,4,8), (3,3,12) and (6,6,9): 224 whole-torus queries (16 per rod axis: two sublattices, two orders of the transverse types, two positions of each bridgehead; all three axes on the cells that are not cubic, where the forty-eight hypotheses fall into three orbits of the formula’s symmetries), every one unsatisfiable with a satisfiable control; 155 DRAT proofs checked by drat-trim (every query on the three small cells, one per orbit on (6,6,9), one per sublattice and order at sides seven and eight, the cyclic permutation of the axes being a checked automorphism).

Kind
certificate-campaign a family of machine-checked proofs on named cells.
Status
certified a machine-checked proof object (DRAT, LRAT, a CPOG-certified count, Lean, Isabelle) on the cells named in scope.

Run as a search for a counterexample to Theorem U; none found and no near miss (controls satisfiable in under 0.5 s, refutations in at most 124 s, solve time growing smoothly with the side). The encoding is clause-for-clause identical to the 27 September encoding on the cubic cells of side four and five, and was tested on odd corpus states repeated onto the new cells. Proofs over 50 MB (to 2.9 GB) deleted after checking and recorded by hash and size. The main loop re-ran sixteen queries and one certificate.
