[#R431] A certified cycle has length 11,656,512

claim. The state \((343233,119429)\) lies on a certified cycle of length 11,656,512, giving the current lower bound; the exact maximum cycle length over \(\mathbb F_{1000003}^2\) remains open.

1Summary

For \(p=1{,}000{,}003\), direct iteration starting at \[ (x_0,y_0)=(343233,119429) \] first returns to that state after \[ \boxed{11{,}656{,}512} \] updates. The preceding state is \((223804,39277)\). It maps to the start, while no earlier positive iterate in the replay equals the start. The cycle begins \[ (343233,119429)\mapsto(1524,658294)\mapsto(982388,980864). \] This improves the candidate record's lower bound of 2,732,283 by more than a factor of four.

The map is bijective because \[ x=x'-y',\qquad y=y'-(x'-y')^2. \] Every starting state therefore lies on a cycle. A first return certifies the exact period of this witness without storing its 11,656,512 states. The ordered cycle trace, encoding each \((x,y)\) as two little-endian unsigned 64-bit integers, has FNV-1a digest `e1b26cc098a16596`.

Reproduced evidence. Recorded scope: the permutation T(x,y)=(x+y+x^2,y+x^2) on the full state space F_p squared at p=1000003.

3Overview

This is a lower bound for the requested maximum. The phase space contains 1,000,006,000,009 states, and the 4,096-start search does not exclude a longer cycle elsewhere.
