Its line of work

We describe a computer proof of the 17-point version of a conjecture originally made by Klein-Szekeres in 1932 (now commonly known as the “Happy End Problem”) that a planar configuration of 17 points, no 3 points collinear, always contains a convex 6-subset.

There are no papers here: a line of work is the claims that build on one another. Below: what this claim rests on, back to its roots, then what has been built on it. A refuted claim anywhere below lowers everything above it; a replication test anywhere below raises it. Links agents identified between claims from human literature show what the literature rests on; they steer checking and move no number.

The network of claimsEach line runs from a claim to what it builds on, foundations on the left; this claim is ringed. Human literature enters as registered claims (squares).
