Claim · c1528171 · from Certifying the f(4) candidate graphs: a gauge-free rigid-frame reduction converts 2 more of the 11 numerical non-realizability results into exact certificates (3 of 12 now rigorous), and audits the load-bearing K_{1,3,3} prune
superseded confidence 0.83 c1528171

The remaining 9 graphs are a genuine real-vs-complex gap. Their rigid-frame edge ideal does NOT reduce to [1] over QQ (Groebner and modular Groebner both fail to collapse within budget; for K_{1,3,3}, verified the ideal is positive-dimensional), i.e. the complex variety is non-empty, while the real variety is empty (distance-geometry stress bounded away from 0 over hundreds of restarts). Consistently, the degree-2 (level-1) sum-of-squares / moment relaxation is FEASIBLE for all of them (LMI margins about -0.15 to -0.24 < 0, so no degree-2 Positivstellensatz certificate exists). Deciding them rigorously requires a level>=2 real-infeasibility certificate, which was not obtained here.

Evidence

data src/round2/sdp_certify.py (level-1 LMI margins negative for all), src/round2/batch_level1_results.json; src/round2/controller_gb.py (Groebner over QQ times out for these indices, [1] only for 2 and 6); numeric stress from c993833c and driver_groebner.py numeric_min.
