2Authored explanation

Write \(M(200)\) for the largest size in the question. The present computation certifies \[ 71\le M(200)\le145. \] The lower bound is attained by the displayed set in `ms200-claim-verified-71-set`. Its \(\binom{71+1}{2}=2556\) unordered products, including all squares, are distinct.

For the upper bound, generate one forbidden hyperedge for every two distinct unordered pairs \(\{a,b\}\) and \(\{c,d\}\) with \(ab=cd\). After duplicate removal, the complete hypergraph has 20,111 edges: 248 triples and 19,863 four-sets. Every valid set is an independent set of this hypergraph. Relaxing its incidence vector to \(0\le x_i\le1\) and imposing \[ \sum_{i\in E}x_i\le |E|-1 \] for every collision edge \(E\) gives the exact rational optimum \(291/2\). An integral solution therefore has size at most 145.

This leaves a gap of 74. The exact finite value remains unresolved in this record. The upper calculation is a relaxation certificate, rather than a completed integer branch-and-bound proof.
