Authored summary

Exhaustive enumeration confirms that the published family contains every 5-subset in at least one of its 115 distinct 8-blocks.

The recorded result has been reproduced within its stated scope.

Recorded status: established

Recorded scope: all 5-subsets of the 16-point ground set against the 115 displayed Jurcovich blocks

2Authored explanation

The repository supplies 115 distinct, increasing 8-subsets of \(\{1,\ldots,16\}\). Exhaustive enumeration gives coverage multiplicities \[ 1:3124,\quad2:768,\quad3:224,\quad4:192,\quad5:32,\quad6:16,\quad7:12. \] Their sum is 6440, agreeing with the independent incidence check \(115\binom85=6440\). Every requirement has positive multiplicity, which proves \(C(16,8,5)\le115\).

Each block contains between 12 and 32 private 5-subsets, meaning requirements covered by that block alone within this family. All 115 blocks are therefore essential to this particular cover. This local irredundancy makes no minimum-size claim. The canonical newline-delimited block family has SHA-256 digest `52698bf4869691120b55da7419b340005acc8b8a807aafbdeabc3377f4b73664`.
