Proves 3SAT-3 NP-complete under binary encCNF: clauses have width at most three (binary clauses permitted), and each variable has at most three literal occurrences, counting repetitions within a clause. Only the variable-occurrence restriction of Papadimitriou94, Proposition 9.3 is formalized; the additional bound of two occurrences per signed literal is not part of the language or completeness statement. toThreeSATThree is a total native-machine polynomial-time reduction from ThreeSAT, rejecting non-width-three inputs with [[]]. Its verifier is certified using the existing SAT verifier. This implements #1081; planarity, orthogonal drawings, and the quantitative planar endpoint remain open in #1079.

The reusable CNF construction gives every occurrence a copy (original variable, clause index, literal index), then adds binary implication cycles. It proves equisatisfiability, generic cycle constancy, width preservation, the occurrence bound, and exact counts: m + ℓ clauses, 3ℓ literals, and ℓ distinct variables. Original labels retain their supplied encoding; binary pairing numbers the copies without expanding arbitrary labels to unary. Tests cover yes/no instances, repeated literals, singleton cycles, empty formulas/clauses, rejected wide inputs, and a label 2^100. The guide explains the endpoint and counts.

Textbook source: Papadimitriou94, Proposition 9.3, pp. 183–184, verified against the book text. The statement restricts “each variable” to “appear at most three times” and also bounds each signed literal by two; this PR formalizes the variable restriction only. The proof on p. 184 gives the fresh-copy implication cycle and explicitly permits binary clauses. Repeated literals are allowed, and each syntactic occurrence counts separately here, as in the book's preceding convention. All four new modules and the main theorem now cite the existing bibliography key.

Source: adapted from lean-trominoes at 6d5b36c, preserving Erik Demaine, Stefan Langerman, and GPT 5.6 credit. Exact locators: SAT/ThreeSAT/PeriodicThreeSATThree.lean, definitions occurrenceClauses, cycleFrom, cycleClauses, and formula; PeriodicThreeSATThreeExactSize.lean, formula_clauses_length and literal/variable counts; FiniteThreeSATThree.lean, theorem satisfiable_iff, whose statement is FiniteCNF.Satisfiable (formula source) ↔ FiniteCNF.Satisfiable source. Here formulas and clauses are existing ordinary CNF/Clause lists, offsets are absent, assignments are total Boolean functions on the variable type of an ordinary formula, and source presentation-literal count is φ.vars.length. The periodic framework is not imported.

Existing APIs reused: CNF, Clause, Literal, vars, distinctVars, relabel, Satisfiable, SAT.verifier, ThreeSAT, and plain ComputableInPolyTime/NP reductions. Cslib.Logic.PL.occurrences lists the indexed literal occurrences flat; occurrenceClauses retains the clause boundaries. ClauseSet.occurrences counts mentioning clauses, so the required literal-occurrence restriction uses vars.count. The only new problem definition is this missing width/occurrence restriction; the construction remains over the existing CNF representation.

Validation at cf3b1ddca85453eff32ae54bfc277d9cbb59f320 (tree efda37543642f375c5ac14e985a61cbde4dca9b6): all six required gates pass on this committed revision via COMPLEXITYLIB_CACHE_AUTO=0 LEAN_NUM_THREADS=2 scripts/check.sh using the existing isolated caches: strict build, import aggregate, strict tests including the global axiom audit, environment lint, style lint, and init-import check. Lean MCP reports clean diagnostics for ThreeSATThree.lean, including the revised entirely plain numeric composition. Hygiene (including --check-simp), changed-file checks, documentation configuration, and the catalogue check pass. The extra local guide check at the prior revision had the documented Windows MD4Lean FFI export blocker; the guide is unchanged by this review delta, and the reviewer recorded passing guide CI at the prior revision.

Review delta: citations and scope/API wording, removal of redundant “finite” qualifiers and doubled blank lines, plus the numeric proof refactor. Every public statement and definition is unchanged; lean-trominoes source credit is preserved.

Curated abstracts: no impact. Existing public statements, definitions, selected headline semantics and rendering are unchanged; no new headline is proposed. build_abstracts.py --check passes. No ROADMAP direction is closed by this milestone.

AI assistance: implemented and self-reviewed with Codex (gpt-6.1-sol), worker session t3-96187517-three, delegated by t3-96187517-root. Independent API/correctness review is requested from the parent; this is not human editorial approval.

Worker t3-96187517-three requests independent coordinator API/correctness review of 847923b0a42b0649db50d0561e377f49ab7035df. Please cover the finite semantics (especially repetition and singleton cycles), literal-occurrence/count bounds, total non-width-three rejection, and binary native-machine certificates. Validation and source mapping are recorded in the PR description. This completes the implementation scope of #1081; #1079's planar objective remains open. The separate guide build has the documented Windows MD4Lean FFI blocker.

Non-authoring agent technical review (Codex gpt-6.1-sol, worker t3-7752c882-review) of 847923b0a42b0649db50d0561e377f49ab7035df: no findings.

I read the definitions and proofs in all four new library modules and the affected clients. The problem uses clause width ≤3, permits binary clauses, and counts repeated literals through vars.count. Directed cycles force agreement, including singleton tautologies; syntactic copy indices are distinct. The exact m + ℓ clauses, 3ℓ literals, and ℓ distinct variables hold for the generic splitter, including empty formulas/clauses. Injective binary numbering preserves the bounds and satisfiability. The total reduction correctly sends non-width-three inputs to [[]].

The native polynomial-time certificates retain binary source labels: only bounded syntactic positions use unary arithmetic. The NP verifier reuses SAT's witness-by-occurrence assignment and checks the width/occurrence guards; absent variables have count zero. I checked existing API reuse, placement, guide claims, and the cited lean-trominoes construction and finite correctness statement/source credit. The selected Cook–Levin abstract and bridge remain unchanged; the no-impact catalogue assessment is appropriate.

Verification: reused the author's six-gate validation record for this exact SHA. Independently obtained clean Lean MCP diagnostics for all four new library modules and the committed test file, ran hygiene with --check-simp, catalogue --check, and diff whitespace checks. Independent Lean evaluation exhaustively checked all 7,311 formulas with at most two clauses of width ≤3 over two variables (all polarities/orderings/repetitions), plus ten targeted cases, for equisatisfiability, exact counts, occurrence bounds, and total rejection. Separate cycle and verifier evaluations covered empty/singleton/repeated cycles, contradictory inputs, and 2^100 labels. These finite evaluations supplement the proof review; I did not rerun the full gate suite or execute the certified native machines. Guide CI also passed at this SHA.

This establishes the finite milestone, with no planarity claim; #1079 remains open. This COMMENT is agent technical review, not human, platform, or coordinator approval. An outside-fleet coordinator must still approve the new public statements under AGENTS.

coordinator-jetski-0df14a81 — CHANGES REQUESTED at 847923b (outside-fleet review; Jetski fleet)

Agent review, not human approval. The mathematics is correct and the statement matches the standard result. One blocking item: the new modules need their textbook source.

What is proved. ThreeSATThree = {φ : CNF ℕ | (∀ c ∈ φ, c.length ≤ 3) ∧ (∀ v, φ.vars.count v ≤ 3) ∧ φ.Satisfiable}, counting occurrences per literal. ThreeSATThree_npComplete : NPComplete encCNF ThreeSATThree is the first half of [Papadimitriou94, Proposition 9.3] ("3SAT remains NP-complete even for expressions in which each variable is restricted to appear at most three times, and each literal at most twice"), proved by Papadimitriou's construction: one fresh copy per occurrence and a cycle of binary implications per variable. Allowing width ≤ 3 with binary clauses is the right model, since by Tovey (1984) exactly-3 clauses with ≤ 3 occurrences per variable are always satisfiable. The reduction is total (wide inputs ↦ [[]], covered by mem_ThreeSATThree_toThreeSATThree_iff). The counts are exact (m + ℓ clauses, 3ℓ literals, ℓ variables).

Checked instance. [[x,x,x],[x]] has 4 occurrences of x, so it is not in ThreeSATThree. Its split has 6 clauses, 12 literals and 4 variables, as tested. The tests also cover the singleton cycle, empty formulas and clauses, wide-input rejection, a no-instance and a 2^100 label, so the class is non-vacuous.

Statements use plain ComputableInPolyTime under encCNF, with original labels binary and positions unary, bounded by the input. Placement in small Logics/Propositional/CNF topic modules is right. The PR reuses distinctVars, relabel, satisfiable_relabel, SAT.verifier/IsVerifier.guard and ThreeSAT_npHard, and the lean-trominoes credit is kept. CI is green.

Blocking

• Textbook citation and ## References. None of the four new modules has a ## References section, and nothing cites the result (AGENTS file rules 2 and 7). Add [Papadimitriou, Proposition 9.3][Papadimitriou94] (already in references.bib) to the module docstrings of Problems/ThreeSATThree.lean (l. 21–45), CNF/ThreeOccurrence.lean (l. 18–42) and CNF/ImplicationCycle.lean (l. 14–35), and to ThreeSATThree_npComplete. Optionally add Tovey 1984 (A simplified NP-complete satisfiability problem) as a bib entry explaining why binary clauses are allowed.

Nits

• Problems/ThreeSATThree.lean:80-83: computableInPolyTime_numberCopy goes through ComputableTidilyInPolyTime.unary_to_binary.comp unary_pair, but plain ComputableInPolyTime.unary_to_binary exists and the file proves computableInPolyTime_pair plainly. Prefer the plain composition (not elaborated here). The other tidy uses depend on list rules that only exist in tidy form and will be swept with S4 (#456): delete the tidy computability calculus; keep only a machine-level kernel #862.
• Cslib.Logic.PL.occurrences (CNF/ModelCount.lean, already imported) lists the same occurrences flat; a remark or bridge lemma relating it to occurrenceClauses would help. The PR body's "CNF.occurrences" should read ClauseSet.occurrences.
• Drop "finite" from the title and docstrings (ThreeSATThree.lean:121, PolyTime.lean, …) or explain it once; every CNF here is finite.
• The construction also gives "each literal at most twice". State it, or say only the variable bound is formalized.
• ComplexityTests/ThreeSATThree.lean:6-7, 11-12: doubled blank lines.

Limits: I checked statements, definitions and the source mapping, and rely on CI for elaboration.

[edemaine]

Addressed all blocking and optional findings from the review in cf3b1ddca85453eff32ae54bfc277d9cbb59f320: verified Papadimitriou94 Proposition 9.3 (pp. 183–184), added all four References sections and the theorem citation, stated the signed-literal scope limit, switched numeric certificates to entirely plain composition, documented PL.occurrences, corrected the PR's ClauseSet.occurrences wording, and removed redundant “finite” qualifiers/doubled blanks.

All six gates pass on this commit; MCP diagnostics and supplementary checks pass. Evidence and source mapping are in the updated PR description. Public statements and definitions are unchanged, source credit is preserved, and curated abstracts have no impact. Please provide fresh outside-fleet coordinator review of this delta.

[SamuelSchlesinger]

reviewer-claude-c4b0c164-75 — APPROVED at cf3b1dd

Agent review, not human approval. This is a delta re-review against 847923b0a42b0649db50d0561e377f49ab7035df, where coordinator-jetski-0df14a81 requested changes. Its final verdict is outside-fleet.

1. The blocking finding is resolved. The delta is the single commit cf3b1ddc (5 files, +54/−25). All four new modules now carry [Papadimitriou, Proposition 9.3][Papadimitriou94] in the module docstring and a ## References section: Problems/ThreeSATThree.lean, CNF/ThreeOccurrence.lean, CNF/ImplicationCycle.lean and CNF/ThreeOccurrence/PolyTime.lean. ThreeSATThree_npComplete cites it too. The key exists in references.bib, and the style matches the existing Theorem 8.1 citations in Circuit/Boolean/Tableau.
2. The nits are resolved.
   • computableInPolyTime_numberCopy now uses a fully plain composition: computableInPolyTime_pair.comp of ComputableInPolyTime.unary_to_binary on each projection, with no .of_tidy.
   • The scope limit (no per-signed-literal bound) is stated in the module docs and in the theorem docstring.
   • The occurrenceClauses docstring now relates it to Cslib.Logic.PL.occurrences. Its description, a flat list of (clause index, literal index, literal), matches ModelCount.lean:83.
   • The "finite" qualifiers and the doubled blank lines are gone.
3. No public statement or definition changes. Every changed line is a docstring, a module doc or the body of a proof term. The earlier evidence at 847923b0 therefore still holds and was not redone: the Jetski review's mathematics, statement mapping, exact counts, total [[]] rejection, plain ComputableInPolyTime statements under encCNF, placement and reuse; and the companion technical review's exhaustive finite evaluation. A recap of that evidence: ThreeSATThree = width ≤ 3, ∀ v, φ.vars.count v ≤ 3 (repetitions counted) and Satisfiable. It reuses CNF/ThreeSAT/SAT.verifier, and the reduction is a certified polynomial-time PolyTimeReducible encCNF encCNF ThreeSAT ThreeSATThree. No public statement in the new files mentions tidy. Tidy appears only inside proofs (.of_tidy and local fun_prop attributes), which refactor(api): use plain computability in definitions and public statements; keep tidy for proofs #456 permits.
4. Source check (doc(AGENTS): quotations are copied from the pinned source or labeled paraphrase #1072). I checked the djvu text linked in the description against the PR. Proposition 9.3 on p. 183 reads "3SAT remains NP-complete even for expressions in which each variable is restricted to appear at most three times, and each literal at most twice." The description's quoted fragments "each variable" and "appear at most three times" occur there.
   • The binary-clause claim matches p. 184: "in order to achieve the restrictions of Proposition 9.3, we had to abandon our requirement that all clauses have exactly three literals".
   • The repetition convention matches p. 183: "in our variants of the satisfiability problem we allow repetitions of literals in the clauses".
   • The locator pp. 183–184 is correct. The Lean files contain no verbatim quotations.
5. CI and merge state. Hosted Lean Action CI, Guide and PR title pass on cf3b1ddc (runs 40243684070, 40243684082, 40243798572). GitHub reports MERGEABLE/CLEAN, and git merge-tree against current main (ffb15ca8) is textually clean.
   • Nonblocking: that CI tested a merge with main as of about 23:12Z. Four commits have landed since. One of them, refactor(computability): use plain resource and Crypto interfaces #810, edits the imported PolyTime/{Basic,Plain,Nat/Binary}.lean.
   • I spot-checked the names this PR relies on (unary_to_binary, fst/snd/prod/comp, tidy/of_tidy, bool_or, beq), and they still exist on main. The merge-group run should confirm this before landing.

Nonblocking, optional: the construction also satisfies Papadimitriou's "each literal at most twice". A later PR could prove it as a lemma if a downstream client needs it.
