Written on the Wall II, Graph Conjecture 322

Let GG be a simple connected graph on n5n\geq 5 vertices. If the maximum over all vertices vv of (v)\ell(v) - the independence number of the subgraph induced by the open neighborhood N(v)N(v) - is at most 11, must GG be well totally dominated? Answered affirmatively; the Lean proof in fact needs only n2n\geq 2, and retains the conjecture's n5n\geq 5 to state the source faithfully.

Result
Proved (The formalization proves the statement under the weaker hypothesis n >= 2; the pull request marking the conjecture solved is open, not merged)

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.
