OpenAI reports a high-arity counterexample to Pixton completeness

At genus 10^60 with 3 times binomial(10^60,3) markings, an explicitly defined formal tautological class maps to zero in the Chow ring and rational cohomology of the compactified pointed-curve moduli space but lies outside the span of Pixton’s original graph-formula relations.

Understanding the problem

Read the background

At genus 10^60 with 3 times binomial(10^60,3) markings, an explicitly defined formal tautological class maps to zero in the Chow ring and rational cohomology of the compactified pointed-curve moduli space but lies outside the span of Pixton’s original graph-formula relations.

Why it matters

If correct, disproves the Chow and rational-cohomological completeness of Pixton’s original relation system.

What counts as progress

Do Pixton’s original tautological relations generate every relation in the Chow ring of pointed stable curves?
