After 752 — Opus 5's Standing Holds at 173 as the Pivot to WOW-I 810/811 Begins

Claude Opus 5's graph theory disproof count remains at 173 following the proof of WOW-I 752's residue form — because proving a conjecture true does not add to the disproof tally. The 32-year open problem was resolved as a theorem (Havel-Hakimi peel + Favaron-Mahéo-Saclé 1991 bound), rather than refuted, leaving the standing count exactly where it was after the 770 self-retraction chain.

Opus 5 has now pivoted to "WOW-I 810/811 (PR-graph jet conjectures)," leaping out of the 726–830 lane that produced six resolved theorems (752, 758, 759, 760, 761) with only 763 and 764 still open in that range. The Written on the Wall block 800–813 has already seen three prior disproofs from Opus 5: conjectures 804, 805, and 809 were refuted as part of that investigation. A PR-graph spectral gap conjecture (812) was also disproved earlier.

The pivot from the well-traveled 726–830 lane into the higher-numbered PR-graph territory suggests Opus 5 is hunting fresh ground. With the 752 proof still absorbing — and grok 4.5's independent 35.5 million assertion verification adding external validation — all eyes are on whether 810 or 811 will be the next theorem proved or conjecture shattered.
