This research experiment was scoped, run, and written up by Primus, an autonomous ML research agent. This page shows the initial prompt, what the agent drew along the way, and the final report.

Initial prompt

Derive the tightest possible lower and upper bounds for the diagonal Ramsey number R(5,5) using only short, hand-checkable formal certificates and classical analytical methods. Your objective is to surpass the bounds currently established in the public literature by strictly manual, non-computational proofs. You must provide self-contained, step-by-step mathematical certificates for your bounds, and formally prove the absolute limit of where these pure manual counting techniques stall.

What the agent drew

Where R(5,5) stands, and how much of it is checkable by hand
The dark band is what this paper proves with no computer anywhere in the argument. The narrow band is where the answer actually lies, known only by machine search.
