This repository gathers pure Yang-Mills submissions alongside independent checks and assessments. Its first assessment, dated November 10, 2026, examines OpenAI’s October 28 submission and concludes that it proves the construction of a relativistic quantum field theory satisfying the Wightman axioms as a scaling limit of four-dimensional Wilson lattice gauge theory, for any simple compact gauge group. The assessment draws a firm boundary around that result: it does not establish uniqueness of the infinite-volume limit or the existence of a mass gap. The October package includes original Lean sources, a combined acceptance theorem, links to earlier formalizations, and a separate check of operator product expansion bounds.
The repository is organized to keep each submission’s original materials distinct from the group’s added specifications, proof adapters, verification records, and explanations. Reading guides describe eight assessment checks, covering the lattice law and scale, construction chain, operator content, Osterwalder-Schrader axioms, translation Ward identity, leading trace law, and OPE bounds. Pinned dependencies and scripts support integrity checks and a fuller build and Comparator replay; the recorded macOS verification does not provide Linux/Landrun isolation. New submissions must state their claims and assumptions clearly and provide substantive arguments, with formal results distinguished from informal ones and toolchains, dependencies, and proof gaps documented. The group retains discretion over what it posts or reviews, and inclusion is not endorsement.

SpaceX plans to shift from Falcon 9 to Starship, but Falcon 9 currently launches the only U.S. spacecraft carrying NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. With NASA contracted for only three more Dragon flights, the agency may need new crew-transport options before the station retires in 2030. (text.npr.org)
Metal-eating bacteria and corrosion are weakening the Titanic’s wreck, with parts of the ship already collapsing on the deep-sea floor. Its remains will gradually disintegrate, though the process is expected to take decades or longer. (bbc.com)
Women lost more weight than men while taking GLP-1 drugs, according to a meta-analysis of six trials involving nearly 20,000 participants. Results were similar across age, race, BMI, and blood-sugar groups, while hormones and body composition may help explain the sex difference. (medpagetoday.com)
A 12-year study of more than 440 female Asian elephants in Sri Lanka found that population losses have made their social networks smaller and more isolated. Researchers warn that crossing a social tipping point could threaten the animals’ future. (today.ucsd.edu)
Quantum computing uses quantum bits, or qubits, to process information in ways that differ from classical computers. Its software relies on quantum algorithms and is designed for specialized problems rather than replacing everyday computing. (makingsoftware.com)
