Context
This result replaces a stored table of 367 five-letter words by an exact arithmetic generator and three binary choices, making the published base code reproducible as a path language.
Proof or evidence
Exact arithmetic generates 382 distinct words, the published conflict rule leaves 327, and an exhaustive coloring-bound clique search proves that every maximum 40-word extension is the common 37-word core plus three binary choices.
Verification notes
The verifier visits 383 exact clique-search nodes, finds all eight maximum extensions, and reconstructs the published code with SHA-256 a8d96cb1593aa03058e781c819a5254895ccae4dfc05f35a4ef3e89e6566c9e4.
Limitations
- This is a compact presentation of the published code, not a larger independent set or a new Shannon-capacity bound.
- The compiler is a path-language generator; it does not realize 367 tuples as one-step last signatures of fewer than 367 states.
