This is a supporting exact probe, not the official top-level benchmark suite. The canonical repository benchmark now lives in power_of_ten_anchor_suite.
This probe tests one narrow question: whether a fully derived k*(n) can beat li_inverse_seed in the exact large regimes without introducing chosen coefficients.
The construction keeps the existing backbone form, but derives both the bend and the lift from the same n-scale Cipolla expansion.
Let
The bend term is the exact 1/log^2 n Cipolla correction routed through the existing bend slot:
The order-5 candidate puts the next three Cipolla terms into the lift slot:
This is algebraically the Cipolla asymptotic expansion through 1/log^5 n, repacked into the existing backbone + bend + lift structure.
The order-5 repacked seed is the first fully derived candidate in this line that beats li_inverse_seed on the exact large-regime stage families already committed in the repository.
stage_amax seed ppm:cipolla_log5_repacked = 0.070933,li_inverse_seed = 0.089328stage_bmax seed ppm:cipolla_log5_repacked = 0.005033,li_inverse_seed = 0.010553- published exact grid max seed ppm:
cipolla_log5_repacked = 4163.125782,li_inverse_seed = 4382.740215 - reproducible exact baseline max seed ppm:
cipolla_log5_repacked = 5050.456465,li_inverse_seed = 5271.714558
Pointwise on the published power-of-ten grid, the order-5 repacked seed wins from 10^4 through 10^16 and then loses from 10^17 upward.
