False Positive: Search Results Fail to Surface Unsolved Putnam Problems — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: The search results are a **false positive** — they return Putnam's philosophy of quantum mechanics, bar exam AI benchmarks, and binary star mass transfer, not unsolved Putnam competition problems. The only genuine mathematical item is a survey of 36 unsolved number theory/geometry problems. MATH: No new equations, constants, or ratios emerge. The binary star problem involves angular momentum transfer efficiency — a dimensionless parameter, but no closed form. The number theory survey lists open conjectures (coloration, partitions, generalized periods) without explicit constants. CONNECTION: **None found.** No 0.382, 0.618, 0.786, 1.618, 2.618, base-60, or crystallographic symmetries appear in any abstract. The closest structural echo: binary star Roche-lobe overflow involves a critical potential surface (Roche geometry), which has a known ratio of lobe radius to orbital separation ≈ 0.38–0.44 for mass ratios 0.1–1.0 — but this is not stated in the abstract, and I will no
