Numerical computation for: Hard Square Entropy Constant

The hard square model (also called the hard-core lattice gas on Z^2) counts
independent sets on the square lattice - configurations where no two adjacent
sites are both occupied.

The hard square entropy constant is defined as:
    κ = lim_{n→∞} [F(n,n)]^{1/n²}

where F(m,n) counts (0,1)-matrices of size m×n with no two adjacent 1s
(horizontally or vertically).

Numerical value:
    κ ≈ 1.5030480824753323...

Unlike the hard hexagon model (solved by Baxter), the hard square model has
NO KNOWN CLOSED FORM. This is a genuinely open problem in statistical mechanics.

The entropy per site is:
    s = log(κ) ≈ 0.40749...

Computation method: Transfer matrix
- For strips of width m, enumerate valid row configurations (no adjacent 1s)
- Build transfer matrix where T[i,j] = 1 if rows i,j are compatible vertically
- The largest eigenvalue λ_m gives κ ≈ λ_m^{1/m}
- Convergence is systematic as m → ∞
