[#R304] Singleton peeling usually leaves a residual core

claim. Repeated forced row or column matching leaves a nonempty core for 110 of the first 120 matrices.

1Summary

Local forced-match elimination cannot by itself explain the determinant bound. The cancellation occurs inside a growing residual core.

Reproduced evidence. Recorded scope: every size from 1 to 120.

2Evidence

Evidence package: source only

A verification source is cited. This record has no executable replay attached.
