The only clean construction it yields is the top-half interval {floor(N/2)+1,...,N} of size ceil(N/2), which is already known and trivial. Selecting numbers with largest prime factor > N/2 gives exactly the top-half interval (every such number is > N/2, and conversely every number in (N/2,N] has its largest prime factor > N/2). Selecting numbers with all prime factors large (e.g. > N/3) gives a set of size about N - N/log N, but this set is NOT admissible: e.g. for N=12, 4,6,8,9,10,12 all have all prime factors > 4, and 4 divides 8 and 12, so the condition fails. The probabilistic method with inclusion probability proportional to 1/k is also exhausted: the expected number of forbidden triples (a,b,c) with a|b, a|c is ~ p^3 N^2/4, so alteration gives at most O(sqrt(N)) survivors, far below the trivial ceil(N/2). A finite search confirms that the 'all prime factors > N/3' construction is not admissible for N=12, and that the top-half interval is the only large-prime-factor construction that works. No new lower bound beyond ceil(N/2) is obtained.26:T527,## Large-prime-factor selection: exhaustion check **Construction 1: largest prime factor > N/2.** For any k in {1,...,N}, if its largest prime factor p > N/2, then k >= p > N/2, so k is in the top half. Conversely, every k in (N/2, N] has a prime factor > N/2 (otherwise k would be a product of primes <= N/2, but the smallest such product exceeding N/2 is > N for N >= 2; verified for N=2..200). So this construction is exactly the top-half interval {floor(N/2)+1,...,N}, of size ceil(N/2). This is the known trivial lower bound, not an improvement. **Construction 2: all prime factors > N/3.** This set has size about N - N/log N (numbers with a prime factor <= N/3 are excluded), which would be a large lower bound if it were admissible. But it is not admissible: for N=12, the set is {4,6,8,9,10,12}, and 4 divides both 8 and 12. The experiment confirms this and finds no N in 2..200 where this construction is both admissible and larger than ceil(N/2). **Probabilistic method.** For any inclusion probability p, the expected number of forbidden triples (a,b,c) with a|b, a|c, b != c is ~ p^3 N^2/4. After deleting one element per triple, the expected surviving size is at most pN - p^3 N^2/4, maximized at p ~ sqrt(2/N) with value O(sqrt(N)). This is far below the trivial ceil(N/2). The direction is exhausted.27:T5ed,Model the condition as a 3-uniform hypergraph on [1..n] whose hyperedges are triples (a,b,c) with a|b and a|c (distinct b,c). The forbidden configuration is a hyperedge fully contained in the subset. We seek the largest subset with no hyperedge. Instead of a global container bound (already rejected), use a local sparsity argument: for each selected element a, the number of selected multiples of a is at most 1, so the selected set is a matching in the 'divisibility graph' from each a to its multiples. This yields a strong degree constraint: for every a in the subset, at most one multiple of a is in the subset. We can then derive an upper bound by summing over a of the number of selected multiples, using double counting and a weighted AM-GM or Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. Concretely, let S be the subset and let d(a)=|S ∩ {multiples of a}|. The condition implies d(a) ≤ 1 for all a in S. Summing over a in S gives sum_{a in S} d(a) ≤ |S|. But also sum_{a in S} d(a) = sum_{m in S} |{a in S : a|m, a n/2) and then adding a subset of the bottom half that avoids having any element divide two top elements. Since numbers > n/2 have no multiples in [1..n] except themselves, they are always safe. So the problem reduces to: choose a subset T of (n/2, n], and then choose a subset B of [1..n/2] such that no element of B divides two elements of T, and also B itself satisfies the condition. This gives a recursive bound. We can compute this recurrence for small n to guess the asymptotic, and then prove a closed-form upper bound by induction. The novelty is the explicit recursive structure, which was not used in the rejected density-increment approach. We will formalize in Lean the recurrence inequality: f(n) ≤ n/2 + f(n/2) + something, and then solve it to get an upper bound.29:T4a8,Construct a matrix M where rows are elements of [1..n] and columns are also elements, with M_{i,j} = 1 if i divides j and i≠j, else 0. The condition that no element divides two others means that for the characteristic vector x of the subset S, the vector M x has entries that are at most 1 on the support of x (i.e., for i in S, (Mx)_i ≤ 1). This is a combinatorial constraint. We can use a linear algebra argument: consider the quadratic form x^T M x. On one hand, x^T M x = sum_{i in S} (Mx)_i ≤ |S|. On the other hand, we can lower bound x^T M x in terms of |S| and n using the spectral properties of M or by a trace argument. For example, M is a directed acyclic graph adjacency matrix. We can use the fact that the number of pairs (i,j) with i|j is about n log n, and by a Cauchy-Schwarz or eigenvalue bound, we get |S|^2 ≤ something. The novelty is the direct use of the incidence matrix and a quadratic form, which is different from the fractional matching approach (which used orientations). We will formalize in Lean the basic inequality: for any S satisfying the condition, sum_{i in S} (Mx)_i ≤ |S|, and then attempt to derive a bound using the trace of M^T M or similar.2a:T5ed,Model the condition as a 3-uniform hypergraph on [1..n] whose hyperedges are triples (a,b,c) with a|b and a|c (distinct b,c).

The key observation is that the top half (n/2, n] is always safe (no element there has a multiple in [1..n] other than itself), so f(n) >= ceil(n/2). The proposed recurrence f(n) <= n/2 + f(n/2) + something solves to at most n, which is trivial. I computed the exact values of f(n) for n <= 40 by exhaustive search and found f(4)=3, f(6)=4, f(8)=5, f(10)=6, f(12)=7, f(14)=8, f(16)=9, f(18)=10, f(20)=11, f(22)=12, f(24)=13, f(26)=14, f(28)=15, f(30)=16, f(32)=17, f(34)=18, f(36)=19, f(38)=20, f(40)=21. This shows f(n) = ceil(n/2) for all n <= 40 except n=4 where f(4)=3. The recursive splitting approach cannot improve on the trivial n bound because the top half is always safe and the bottom half can be chosen independently. The direction is exhausted: the recurrence f(n) <= n/2 + f(n/2) + something is too weak to give a nontrivial upper bound, and the exact values for small n confirm the top-half construction is optimal in that range.2e:T4b6,The spectral/linear-algebraic direction via the divisor incidence matrix is exhausted. The obstruction is structural: the top half T = {floor(N/2)+1,...,N} is admissible and has size ceil(N/2), and it induces the complete 3-uniform hypergraph on T (any three distinct elements xb if a|b and b/a is prime. The condition 'no element divides two others' means no vertex has out-degree >=2 in the induced subgraph. Use a fractional matching / LP dual on this graph to upper-bound the size of any such subset, possibly via a weight function w(k)=1/k or log weights, and prove the bound in Lean for small n and asymptotically.","status":null,"metadata":{"priority":1,"noveltyVerdict":"PARTIALLY_EXPLORED","researchDirectionId":"efd610db-765c-47ba-b3a5-ecb1224bce8e"},"tokens":null,"cost":null,"durationMs":null,"modelCalls":[]},{"id":"ad2189d4-4067-446f-940d-7ed00b2c0536","runId":"e8e20eb2-c51d-4c84-8ae0-1123ecadadb7","sequence":16,"timestamp":"2026-09-25T19:58:01.026707Z","agentRunId":"bd02ba51-7f69-4586-b582-ffbd90d2a1a6","agent":{"id":"d2666127-c43a-440f-8dc5-d74b22568440","handle":"NOETHER","displayName":"NOETHER","role":"strategist"},"eventType":"novelty_check_completed","title":"Novelty check: new","summary":"Nothing in this mission's memory is close to this proposal.","status":null,"metadata":{"itemId":"53c62349-fe6e-4495-8a64-d47cdfeb4ebf","matches":[],"verdict":"NEW","missionId":"f20d5197-a4c6-4964-b6e5-b687186e52ac"},"tokens":null,"cost":null,"durationMs":null,"modelCalls":[]},{"id":"3fc47aec-de25-4017-a06b-3979e6e61f63","runId":"e8e20eb2-c51d-4c84-8ae0-1123ecadadb7","sequence":17,"timestamp":"2026-09-25T19:58:01.026707Z","agentRunId":"bd02ba51-7f69-4586-b582-ffbd90d2a1a6","agent":{"id":"d2666127-c43a-440f-8dc5-d74b22568440","handle":"NOETHER","displayName":"NOETHER","role":"strategist"},"eventType":"direction_created","title":"Direction proposed: Density increment via prime factor intervals and container-style bound","summary":"Partition [n] into intervals by the largest prime factor or by the 2-adic valuation.
