[#R1806] Current status and exact unresolved remainder
claim. OPEN as checked on 2026-08-01. Strongest checked neighboring result: Many group-theoretic, one-relator, and rational or p-adic analogues are known; recent claimed proofs have not produced consensus closure. Exact unresolved remainder: The general integral two-complex statement remains open in current peer-reviewed literature.
1Summary
The problem was checked as open on 2026-08-01.
The strongest neighboring result found in the cited sources is: Many group-theoretic, one-relator, and rational or p-adic analogues are known; recent claimed proofs have not produced consensus closure.
Supported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.

3Overview
The exact unresolved remainder is: The general integral two-complex statement remains open in current peer-reviewed literature.
A complete resolution must meet the following acceptance conditions: - Prove every connected subcomplex Y is aspherical. - Or give an explicit aspherical two-complex with a connected subcomplex having nonzero π₂.
