2Authored explanation
A seeded one-swap simulated-annealing run evaluated 600,000,000 proposals. A separate conflict-directed tabu run was capped after reaching the same best score. Neither run found a feasible 14-set. The best retained near miss was \[ \{0,5,7,31,43,58,61,62,63,72,80,84,91,97\}. \] Its only overloaded ordered residues are 19 and 81, each with multiplicity three. These are the two orientations of one overloaded circular distance class.
This evidence explains why simple greedy searches may stall one step short. It carries no upper-bound force. The exact continuation is the binary model in the artifact. Solving it with proof logging, followed by independent proof checking, would settle the candidate.
