Well you've worked for over a month, yet you haven't offered any partial work.

Usually a programming bug is thought to be for some Ai where i > 1, but starting from a wrong premise is also common enough, especially if you're trying to model something or reduce from something complicated to something simple; but that's a bit of a tangent.
Anyway it means I would have to start over... so why not just look at the arXiv article and start over from there instead.
Okay, well I've reviewed the article as well as your work and also trying to understand your code. I understand how you say the logical chain was broken because of a false assumption. However, I still do not understand why if you modded the code to incorporate the factor of 1/2 that you would have to start the whole thing over. I can imagine that it makes a difference using the factor of 1/2, but I do know know to what extent.
Please let me know if you can help on this.
