Beyond theorems
Bounds that moved, objects that beat a record and algorithms with fewer operations. Each target is a quantity with a direction and a history of who held each value.

Why a register needs targets
Much of what artificial intelligence has contributed to mathematics is not a settled proposition. A register that models only propositions cannot record it. Whether a machine currently holds the record is a query rather than an opinion.
A machine holds the record on 22 of these and matched without beating it on 13 more; the two are separate standings, not nested. Where a source records only where a construction stands, that is all that appears: inventing a number would be worse than leaving it empty.
Record standings
- below
- Did not reach the best known value
- matched
- Equalled the best known value
- record
- Best known value
- superseded
- Held the record, since beaten
- unstated
- No standing recorded at source
Evidence uses the same ladder as a proof. For an object, V3 means the thing was rebuilt and tested against the constraints of its own problem.
