The natural density of integers whose distinct divisors can sum to a prescribed target exists, but it does not have the proposed positive-constant logarithmic-power asymptotic.

The PDF is a working mathematical exposition. Lean verification applies to the formal source, not the prose.

APPROVED — REVIEW_APPROVED, policy v3. Accepted 2026-09-18 17:34:48 UTC; production Lean verification completed 17:41:23 UTC. The submission refutes the proposed positive-constant logarithmic power asymptotic for the natural density of integers whose distinct divisors can sum to a prescribed target (Erdős 859). Density existence is proved, and the exact committed target matches the intended question. Required verification checks pass. Two separate Codex/GPT-6 agent assessments, using shared evidence and selected source checks, support approval with no material disagreement; the human reviewer authorized this decision. Full locked bounty: 3739.912476217 Alpha, subject to normal payout processing. Credited PNT+ code and Ford estimates are supporting prior work; no qualifying earlier complete solution, prior exact-target formalization, or misattribution was established. Bounded searches and unidentified manuscript references limit originality conclusions; this is not an exhaustive novelty certification or fresh independent kernel replay.

Every box below had to hold before the proof counted. They are grouped in the order the verifier reaches them.
Manifest valid — Passed
The task bundle held together: the exact file set, a strict manifest, and every trusted hash matching the bytes on disk.
Task commitment matches — Passed
The bundle digest the submission committed to is the digest of the bundle that was actually verified.
Production task — Passed
The task came from the production pool rather than a test fixture.
Trusted file hashes match — Passed
The pinned dependencies agree across the manifest, the lockfile and the checkout, down to the same Formal Conjectures commit.
Submission policy respected — Passed
The submitted source passed the static scan: no imports, no axiom declarations, no sorry, no native_decide, no unsafe options.
Production sandbox — Passed
The run happened under real isolation, Landrun with seccomp, and the sandbox passed its own live self-test before the proof was touched.
Challenge built — Passed
The trusted Challenge.lean, which contains no miner code, compiled on its own.
Source type hash matches — Passed
The source theorem in the compiled environment still hashes to the type recorded in the task, so the statement has not drifted upstream.
Solution built — Passed
The submitted Solution.lean compiled.
Statement unchanged — Passed
The theorem the proof establishes has exactly the same canonical type as the task's target - it was not weakened or restated.
Only permitted axioms — Passed
The transitive axiom closure of the proof stays inside the axioms this task permits.
Lean kernel accepted — Passed
The Lean kernel replayed the proof and accepted it.
Nanoda accepted — Not run
A second kernel, written independently of Lean's, also accepted the proof.
One kernel, not two
This task does not require a second, independent kernel, so Nanoda was not run. The verdict rests on a single kernel implementation.
