Authored summary

OPEN as checked on 2026-08-01. Strongest checked neighboring result: At the quarter threshold, approximate fits with bounded spectra are established; exact fitting is proved below some positive constant times \(d^2\), while the best general impossibility threshold remains near \(d^2/2\). Exact unresolved remainder: Upgrade approximate control to exact fits below one quarter and rule out ill-conditioned exact fits above one quarter.

The record cites sources for its explanation.

2Authored explanation

The problem was checked as open on 2026-08-01.

The strongest neighboring result found in the cited sources is: At the quarter threshold, approximate fits with bounded spectra are established; exact fitting is proved below some positive constant times \(d^2\), while the best general impossibility threshold remains near \(d^2/2\).

The exact unresolved remainder is: Upgrade approximate control to exact fits below one quarter and rule out ill-conditioned exact fits above one quarter.

A complete resolution must meet the following acceptance conditions: - Prove both probability limits for every fixed \(\varepsilon>0\), or rigorously establish a different transition by a counterexample to either implication.
