[#R360] A certified cycle has length 294,672

claim. The point \((0,2)\) lies on a certified cycle of length 294,672, giving the current lower bound; the exact largest cycle length and the number of cycles attaining it remain open.

1Summary

For \[ H(x,y)=(y,y^2+1-x)\pmod {65537}, \] the orbit starting at \((0,2)\) has exact period \[ \boxed{294{,}672}. \] Its first states are \[ (0,2)\mapsto(2,5)\mapsto(5,24)\mapsto(24,572). \] The state at time 294,671 is \((65536,0)\), and one more update returns to \((0,2)\). The replay checks that no earlier positive iterate equals the start.

The inverse is \[ H^{-1}(u,v)=(u^2+1-v,u), \] so \(H\) permutes all \(65537^2=4{,}295{,}098{,}369\) states. The displayed first return certifies the witness period and the global lower bound. A complete decomposition at this prime has not been completed here. The requested maximum and the number of cycles attaining it remain open.

Reproduced evidence. Recorded scope: the complete orbit of (0,2) under H(x,y)=(y,y^2+1-x) over F_65537.
