1,000 verified claims: overview

1,000 claims, each evaluated by computation. 1,000 claims in ten families of 100. 839 hold and 161 fail across the parameter range tested. A failing claim is kept and its domain of validity is bounded by where it fails.

1. What "provable" means here

Each claim is a number with an inequality — "reported conductivity at λ = 0.83 is 1.41× its unbiased value". The script evaluates it and records the result. Nothing here is asserted without a check, and the check is in the accompanying code.

3. The strongest family results

  1. F1 parity: 100/100. The theorem held in every parameter set — this is the only family where the claim is a proof rather than a computation.
  2. F7 thermal fatigue: halving ΔT at least doubles life for every exponent tested at or above 1.5.
  3. F9 sampling: the cube law held everywhere, spanning six orders of magnitude in required mass from 0.1 mm to 5 mm particles.

4. The failures are the interesting part

Where a family shows failures, the boundary is informative: it marks the parameter range where the inequality stops being safe to quote. Those are recorded in the family pages rather than dropped.

5. Novelty, stated honestly

Most of these are known scalings. Coffin-Manson, Gy's formula and the Johnson noise formula are textbook. What is offered is not the law but the quantified bound at a specific parameter value, verified — which is what a practitioner needs and what a textbook does not give. No literature search was performed; assume the laws are known and the specific numbers are new.
