Authored summary

Repeatedly expand along a row or column with one nonzero entry and hope the matrix disappears.

The recorded result has been reproduced within its stated scope. The outcome applies to this attempt's recorded scope.

Attempt outcome: failed as complete proof

Recorded scope: tested against every size from 1 to 120

Recognized embedded source files (0)

This inventory recognizes embedded source fields. It does not fetch linked files, execute code or establish reproducibility. Complete artifacts and replay controls remain below.

The outcome reports what was recorded. Its scope and evidence grade remain separate. Read the argument and verification evidence before relying on the result.

2Authored explanation

The method leaves a residual core in 110 of the first 120 cases, so it supplies a reduction rather than a complete proof.
