Provenance #
OpenAI developed the main proof and its supporting analysis. The sphere-packing foundations adapt
work by Sidharth Hariharan and Gareth Ma from the Sphere Packing in Lean project, whose broader
contributors include Christopher Birkbeck, Seewoo Lee, Bhavik Mehta, and Maryna Viazovska. Dean
Cureton subsequently optimized the formalization at revision
30c21d72a2ee3308d66c945387729d736e0cb305 of his ten-proofs fork before its migration into
Lean Pool; the canonical OpenAI source revision remains recorded separately in the project card.
