Holdouts

  • BB(6)
    • By September 4, mxdys solved all 16 Counter Class 1 TMs.[1]
    • On September 4, Discord user fifi_49513 claimed to have proven a TM non-halting. [2] This machine was later confirmed non-halting in Rocq on September 5 by mxdys. [3]
    • On September 14, an independent computation by Seiji extended the Space Needle trajectory to 100,000,000 terms: no power of 2 was ever encountered, and the most factors of 2 any term had was 25 (first occurring at n = 23,145,881; the previously documented state was >17,000,000 terms with max 24). The full final value (94,125,050 bits) is published with SHA-256 anchors, together with 400 checkpoints cross-verified by two independent implementations, and exact macro step-count laws of the machine (L0–L4; L1 and L3 formally proven). [4]
  • BB(2,7)
    • Terry Ligocki enumerated 20K more subtasks, increasing the number of holdouts to 2,713,007,927. A total of 870K subtasks out of the 1 million subtasks (or 87%) have been enumerated.
