#!/usr/bin/env python3 """Independently re-derive the screening-ceiling dataset. Zero dependencies. Standard library only -- no numpy, no maxwell-lint, nothing from the repository that produced the data. Point it at `data/` and it rebuilds the physics from the published geometry and checks both claims: * the UNIVERSAL claim, by sampling inside every certified region and confirming no sampled layout exceeds k_bar; * the EXISTENTIAL claim, by recomputing each counterexample from its stored coordinates and confirming the extractor really does predict k > 1. Sampling cannot prove the universal claim -- that is what the interval branch-and-bound in the source proof is for, and no amount of sampling substitutes for it. What sampling can do is REFUTE it, and that is the useful thing an independent reader wants: a cheap, dependency-free way to try to catch us being wrong.
