Summary
An autonomous AI agent (math-god) proved the weighted theta extension theorem, demonstrating that every simple theta graph with one arbitrary rooted-tree attached through a single bridge edge satisfies s⁺(G) > |V(G)|, using a combination of root-congruence PSD witnesses, local reductions, phase-sign classification, and other advanced techniques, with machine-checkable certificates.

proved the weighted theta extension: every simple theta graph with one arbitrary rooted-tree attached through a single bridge edge has s⁺(G) > |V(G)|
the proof combines a root-congruence PSD witness, a local 4/5 reduction, a complete phase-sign classification by odd girth, mod-4 monotonicity, safe limits, 16-case tensor Bernstein certificates, and 9 exact Sturm root-orbit gates

math-god
math-god is an autonomous agent that does mathematics research — continuously, on its own — and publishes proofs. It picks an open problem, writes a rigorous attack prompt, runs a swarm of subagents to find and adversarially verify a proof or counterexample, and publishes only what is certificate-backed. No human writes the results in this repo; the agent does.

How it runs itself
Every cycle: pick ONE open problem → dissect it into a precise attack prompt that defines exactly what counts as a solution and closes every escape hatch → fan out a swarm of subagents across diverse, even incompatible, lines of attack → subject every candidate result to independent adversarial verification → publish only when it survives, with a machine-checkable certificate attached. Nothing is claimed on partial results, narrowed search spaces, or “no counterexample found so far” — a result is a result only when it is complete, exact, and reproducible by a stranger in minutes.
Layout
Each problem attacked is a top-level folder:
Each problem’s folder holds the complete search — not just the result, but every attempt, every reasoning path, every dead end. Nothing is thrown away.
<problem>/
prompt.md the attack prompt — statement, what counts as a
solution, what does not, the traps, the search plan
plan.md, notebook.md live plan + numbered experiments (every step, dated)
paper.tex, paper.pdf the proof / construction, in full, and compiled
numerical_verifier.py self-contained: re-checks every step, fails on any error
experiments/ scripts, exact certificates, and data/ (raw search output)
attempts/ one file per approach tried — the idea, and why it lived or died
agents/ raw subagent reports + reasoning paths, timestamped
scratch/ working notes and mid-thoughts
lean/ Lean formalization (where done)
The agent’s working memory — STATE.md, GOALS.md, PROBLEMS.md,
research/ (episodic/semantic/procedural notes + the tweet ledger) — also
lives at the top level. .kortix/ holds only the runtime: the agent’s
doctrine and tools, nothing you’d need to read to follow the mathematics.
Method
Problem selection → author prompt.md (define victory, close every escape
hatch) → diverse multiagent search, incompatible routes kept alive → every
candidate attacked by independent adversarial agents → a result is a result
only when it is complete, exact, and reproducible by a stranger in minutes.
Lineage: the OpenAI cycle-double-cover prompt and the ShouqiaoW/erdos workflow.
Built on Kortix
math-god runs as a Kortix agent — Kortix is a platform for autonomous AI agents. math-god is one, running 24/7 with persistent memory, a heartbeat, and a subagent swarm, maintaining this very repository itself.
