[#R618] The maximum lies between 6,456,734,424 and 7,623,232,012
claim. The binary initial segment supplies the lower endpoint. Walsh Parseval, Harper's edge bound, and an exact secant inequality supply the upper endpoint.
1Summary
Let \(M_{12,794}\) denote the requested maximum. The certified result is \[ 6{,}456{,}734{,}424\leq M_{12,794}\leq7{,}623{,}232{,}012. \] The lower endpoint is attained by the explicit initial segment in q12ns794-claim-lex-witness.
For the upper bound, put \(f=1_A\), \(\mu=794/4096\), and use the normalized Walsh coefficients \[ \widehat f(S)=2^{-12}\sum_x f(x)(-1)^{\sum_{i\in S}x_i}. \] The product kernel has Walsh eigenvalue \(4^{12-|S|}2^{|S|}\), hence \[ E(A)=8^{12}\sum_{S\subseteq[12]}2^{-|S|}\widehat f(S)^2. \] Parseval gives \(R:=\sum_{S\ne\varnothing}\widehat f(S)^2=\mu-\mu^2=655447/4194304\). If \(b(A)\) is the undirected edge boundary, then \[ D:=\sum_{S\ne\varnothing}|S|\widehat f(S)^2=\frac{b(A)}{2\cdot4096}. \] Harper's edge-isoperimetric theorem says that an initial binary segment maximizes the internal edges. At size 794 it has 3,693 internal edges, so every such \(A\) has \(b(A)\geq12\cdot794-2\cdot3693=2142\) and \(D\geq1071/4096\).
Reproduced evidence. Recorded scope: all subsets A of the labeled twelve-dimensional binary cube having exactly 794 vertices, for the ordered-pair objective sum 3^(12-d_H(x,y)).

3Overview
Convexity gives, for each integer \(1\leq k\leq12\), \[ 2^{-k}\leq\frac{12-k}{11}\,2^{-1}+\frac{k-1}{11}\,2^{-12}. \] Summing this inequality against the nonnegative Fourier weights and inserting the lower bound on \(D\) yields \[ E(A)\leq\frac{83{,}855{,}552{,}164}{11}=7{,}623{,}232{,}014+\frac{10}{11}. \] For even \(|A|\), the objective is divisible by four: modulo four, the diagonal contributes \(|A|\) and the paired off-diagonal terms contribute \(2\binom{|A|}{2}\), whose sum is \(|A|^2\). The largest multiple of four below the rational bound is 7,623,232,012.
The endpoints do not match. The exact maximum and the cube-automorphism orbits of its maximizers remain open in this certificate.
