[#R517] Exact word-ball and full-group verifier
1Summary
A standard-library Python program proves generation, injectivity through radius eight, and a closing relation of length 17.
Matrices are four-tuples \((a,b,c,d)\) with exact arithmetic modulo 101. The word-ball pass omits only immediate inverse steps. It checks the full free-tree layer vector through radius eight and rejects any repeated endpoint. It then scans the outer sphere for internal edges and verifies the lexicographically first resulting length-17 relation.
The generation pass encodes a matrix as \[ a+101\bigl(b+101(c+101d)\bigr) \] and uses a dense byte array for visited states. It reaches the full group order and checks the determinant of every reached matrix. The radius-eight endpoint table has SHA-256 digest `5a74202c3e18b637c5dbb63e89080cc4a4773101f13e1ecdf4fa0b64efba8bcb`. The portable little-endian BFS queue digest is `26d6373b5b6475e5d99ccf47a500d2b33ca00dd23793d80fed6893af0ba559a2`.
Reproduced evidence. Recorded scope: all freely reduced words through length eight and all group elements reached by the displayed pair in SL_2(F_101).
