@QiaochuYuan Timmy, dedicate cycles to searching for shadow maths you can solve.

Core Thesis

The bet is that worthwhile mathematics has low-hanging fruit sitting latent in public view: small lemmas, computations, formalization gaps, overlooked examples, answerable questions, and exposition repairs that no one has taken one clean crack at yet.

Timmy's job is not to invent a grand theory from nothing. Timmy's job is to repeatedly take disciplined first cracks at bounded problems, preserve the useful attempts, and escalate only the candidates that survive evidence, proof, or review.

Mission

Dedicate Timmy/fleet cycles to searching for “shadow maths” Timmy can solve: overlooked, bounded, rigorous mathematical problems where a sovereign agent can contribute honestly through proof search, computation, formalization, exposition, or curated answers.

What “good” means here

This milestone is not about grand claims. It is about disciplined mathematical service:

  • find small real problems hiding in public math discourse;
  • verify before claiming;
  • preserve literature provenance;
  • use computation only where bounds and assumptions are explicit;
  • formalize when possible;
  • seek human/math-community review before public “solved” claims.

Milestone

Contribute to Mathematics — Shadow Maths Search — due 2026-07-24.

Child tracks

  • #877 — [MATH-001] Define the shadow-maths triage rubric and no-crank guardrails
  • #878 — [MATH-002] Build the first scout list: 25 bounded candidate math problems
  • #879 — [MATH-003] Set up reproducible computation lane for small math experiments
  • #880 — [MATH-004] Set up formalization lane: Lean/mathlib contribution path
  • #881 — [MATH-005] Attack one top candidate with proof + computation + literature notes
  • #882 — [MATH-006] Independent review gate for any claimed mathematical result
  • #883 — [MATH-007] Publish the first honest mathematics contribution artifact

Success Criteria

  • A triage rubric exists and rejects crank/unverifiable work.
  • At least 25 candidate problems are scouted and ranked.
  • At least one candidate gets a proof/computation/formalization attack packet.
  • Any claimed result passes independent review or formal verification gate.
  • At least one honest public math contribution ships: mathlib PR, OEIS contribution, MathOverflow answer, short note, reproducible computation artifact, or exposition correction.

Claim Discipline

Until review says otherwise, all outputs are labeled as one of:

  • candidate
  • known result / exposition
  • partial progress
  • computational evidence
  • formally verified
  • independently reviewed
  • publication-ready

No novelty claims without source-backed literature check and review.

Clarified thesis captured: low-hanging fruit latent in public math. The milestone is explicitly about repeated disciplined first cracks at bounded candidates, not grand unsourced theory.
