Written on the Wall II, Graph Conjecture 322
Let be a simple connected graph on vertices. If the maximum over all vertices of - the independence number of the subgraph induced by the open neighborhood - is at most , must be well totally dominated? Answered affirmatively; the Lean proof in fact needs only , and retains the conjecture's to state the source faithfully.

What the AI did
The pull request marking the conjecture solved credits the proof to Aristotle, Harmonic's prover; a human contributor prepared and filed the formalization.
Verification
Sorry-free Lean 4 proof filed against google-deepmind/formal-conjectures, which flips the conjecture's attribute from `research open` to `research solved` and links the proof. Unlike the site's WOWII 217 entry it needs no native_decide: the argument is conceptual, showing every neighborhood is a clique and deducing well-total-domination. Not independently reviewed, and the pull request is still open.
