The Two Figures Do Not Move Together

Resolution and expressiveness come from the same inputs and diverge. Identical resolution, fivefold in questions; identical questions, fourfold in resolution.

Analysis

One Pair, One Board

Across four hundred and sixty-one schemas no two produce the same pair of figures. One figure collides for four boards in five.

Reference

Why Question Counts Collide Less

Four hundred and five distinct question counts against one hundred and ninety-five cell counts, from the same schemas. The difference is a prime.

Analysis

More Questions, The Same Sight

A factor of five in available questions buys nothing in resolution. The extra questions are unions of cells the board already had.

Analysis

Questions With No Answers

The record counts what a board permits, not what it can satisfy. An empty result and an inexpressible distinction fail differently.

Analysis

The Largest Schema In The Record

Six filters of six: forty-six thousand six hundred and fifty-six cells, one hundred and seventeen thousand questions, seven result sizes.
