2Authored explanation
Let \(R\) be the public file `c7/R367.txt`. It contains 367 distinct members of \(\mathbb Z_7^5\). For each unordered pair \(x,y\in R\), the exact checker finds a coordinate \(i\) with \[ \min\bigl((x_i-y_i)\bmod 7,(y_i-x_i)\bmod 7\bigr)\geq2. \] Thus \(R\) is independent in \(C_7^{\boxtimes5}\), and \[ \alpha(C_7^{\boxtimes5})\geq367. \] The check covers all \(\binom{367}{2}=67{,}161\) pairs and reproduces the construction in Polak and Schrijver.
The capacity comparison is exact before taking roots: \[ 367^2=134689<134753<135424=368^2. \] Consequently, the 2026 ten-dimensional construction improves the capacity bound obtained from 367 words, while a 368-word fifth-power construction would improve the ten-dimensional bound.
