Duplicate Finite-Strategy Question for the Distance Game

Definitions and mathematical statement

Shared notation.
Standard number systems are $\mathbb N,\mathbb Z,\mathbb Q,\mathbb R,\mathbb C$. Specialized notation and index ranges follow the cited source and the definitions below.

A strategy in a two-player game selects the next permitted move as a function of the available history. A finite strategy here aims to force the source game to reach its stated termination condition after finitely many moves.

Record scope and qualifications.
The catalogue title is retained as metadata. Named certificates, contracts, bounds or frameworks in that title are not asserted as results of the original source extract. The supplied registry flags this extraction as unrecoverable. It is displayed as a literal source fragment; the definitions provide context rather than a replacement formal statement.

Legal moves and the delta-distance condition are omitted; the related full source record 30006107 is also qualified where these definitions are missing.

Source-record limitation: Source flags the statement as unrecoverable: The official report confirms that this extraction repeats the finite-strategy question represented canonically by OWR-14298804-009. No separate clean statement is promoted; the original record remains publicly visible and retained for provenance.

Related catalogue records: 30006107. Separate source IDs are preserved for their provenance. The source text below is rendered literally where necessary; damaged formulas and composite extracts are not silently repaired into a new mathematical claim. The supplied catalogue marks this record as unrecoverable. Its extract and terminology are documented, but a complete original problem has not been reconstructed.

Statement recorded in the supplied source.
Does Peter have a finite strategy? The report passage is retained verbatim as the relevant context for this extracted problem. [S2]
Source status.
The supplied catalogue labels this source record open; that metadata was checked against the supplied snapshot on 2026-10-11. The label is preserved for provenance and is not an independent verification of present open status or mathematical correctness. The catalogue literature assessment is dated 2026-08-22.

Short English statement

The fragment asks whether Peter can force finite termination of the distance game.

Sources

Preparation and review.
The original source and UnsolvedMath contributors retain attribution for the source extract. Codex (GPT-6; exact serving revision not exposed) assisted with definitions, English summaries, scope notes and formatting. No new human mathematical authorship or independently verified solution is asserted. Permanent source ID 30006108 and code OWR-14298804-010 checked against the complete supplied registry and current repository. Distinct upstream records, including repeated questions and broad or damaged extracts, are retained for complete coverage of the source CS category. A repeated record is not a new independent conjecture. Complete mathematical-equivalence and current-literature review has not been performed. Related canonical identities: 30006107. Preparation and final review follow contribution prompts C and D, with source gaps disclosed. Structural and rendering checks do not establish a new theorem or open status.

Research attempt

Literature, source context and scope

The full catalogue body, including qualifications and historical source status, is preserved above. The original workshop report was inspected in the locally cached publisher PDF text. This attempt distinguishes the source question from any explicitly restricted model introduced below. Repeated records retain their own source IDs and do not become independent conjectures. Elementary results and attributed literature results are not claimed as new original-target progress.

Attempted potential for the repeated finite-strategy question

The primary report defines $\delta$-distance by vertex altitudes and demands crossing of the retained face. A tempting argument says that every such crossing decreases the distance of the simplex from the origin. The following legal move disproves strict decrease in that unrestricted form. Take $\delta=1/10$ and, in the unit disk, let \[ p=(2/5,0),\quad q=(3/5,2/5),\quad l=(4/5,0),\quad e=(2/5,2/5). \] Peter removes $l$ from $\operatorname{conv}(p,q,l)$, and Roland replaces it by $e$.
Proposition: Both triangles satisfy the source altitude condition, the replacement is legal, and both triangles have distance exactly $2/5$ from the origin.
Proof: All four squared norms are at most one. The signed planar cross products relative to the directed line $p q$ are $\det(q-p,l-p)=-4/25$ and $\det(q-p,e-p)=2/25$. Hence $l$ and $e$ lie on opposite sides, and the two triangles meet exactly in the common edge $p q$. The first triangle has altitudes $4/(5\sqrt5),2/5,4/(5\sqrt5)$; the second has altitudes $2/5,1/5,2/(5\sqrt5)$. Each exceeds $1/10$. Every point of either triangle has first coordinate at least $2/5$, while both contain $p$, so their distances are exactly $2/5$. ∎
Thus strict descent does not follow just from the two legal-move axioms. This is not an infinite legal play, and does not show that Peter lacks a strategy: Peter might select a different leaving vertex or use a more refined potential. The retained face in this example is not asserted to satisfy a special optimal pivot rule.

Verification and remaining gaps

Signed areas, all six altitudes and squared norms were evaluated; the smallest altitude is approximately $0.178885$. A terminating policy in general dimension still needs a justified pivot choice and a well-founded progress measure. The duplicate record is retained independently for provenance only.

References and source attribution

The primary Oberwolfach workshop report, https://doi.org/10.4171/owr/2024/50, was inspected on 11 October 2026. Relevant source passages: 2024/50 pp. 2989--2990, repeated finite-strategy question. Catalogue and contributor attribution remain in the original Sources section. Mathematical arguments labeled as this attempt are proved above; cited external results remain attributed to their authors and are not independently reproved or claimed as our discoveries.
Integration review.
Codex (GPT-6; exact serving revision not exposed) reviewed the written arguments and expanded layout and source-reference wrappers. Repository metadata and the production web renderer were checked using Python 3.13 and JavaScript with MathJax 3.2.2. This model-assisted review is not independent human proof verification; no PDF compilation or formal proof checking is asserted.

Completion Estimate

COMPLETION: 0% No substantiated new progress toward the entire original target is claimed. The worked results and failed route are delimited above; a known result, illustrative model, or auxiliary obstruction is not counted as original-target completion.

Final status and attribution

Attempt status: unresolved. This describes this research attempt, not a new ruling on the source catalogue's status or on external literature claims. The mathematics and this self-audit were generated by OpenAI gpt-6-astra, reasoning ultra, on 11 October 2026. Codex (GPT-6; exact serving revision not exposed) orchestrated the batch and contributed formatting/repository review. No human mathematical authorship, independent human proof checking, or formal verification is claimed. The historical preparation paragraphs in the reproduced catalogue body concern that body only.

Contribution prompt A was applied to the complete definition and supplied source record, followed by the adversarial checks of prompt B. Local reproduction files are batch011/checks.py, computations.json, and the per-ID audit JSON. They were not public links at preparation time. Numerical checks are finite and do not prove unrestricted results. No LaTeX engine was found locally; compilation was not performed by this research agent.
