[#R1641] Strongest checked neighboring result
claim. The current located upper bound is ω<2.371339 and the trivial information-size lower bound is 2.
1Summary
This leaves the following boundary unresolved: Closing any positive part of the gap between 2 and 2.371339 remains open. The distinction is retained here so a restricted theorem, finite computation, or neighboring case is not presented as a solution of the full target.
Supported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.
2Evidence
A verification source is cited. This record has no executable replay attached.
