#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Descent Engine for Sha Bounds Implements 2-descent to compute UPPER BOUNDS on |Sha(E/Q)|. IMPORTANT: This module provides BOUNDS, not exact values. The 2-Selmer group computation gives |Sha[2]| <= |Sel^(2)(E/Q)| / |E(Q)/2E(Q)|, which bounds the 2-primary part of Sha. The full |Sha| may have additional odd-primary contributions. Mathematical Foundation: The exact sequence 0 -> E(Q)/2E(Q) -> Sel^(2)(E/Q) -> Sha(E/Q)[2] -> 0 gives us |Sha(E)[2]| = |Sel^(2)(E/Q)| / |E(Q)/2E(Q)|. This provides a rigorous upper bound since Sha[2] is a subgroup of Sha. For exact |Sha| values, see sha_estimator.py which uses BSD formula inversion (for rank 0) or LMFDB-verified data (for small conductors).
