The Blakley-Roy anchor of the framework: stars satisfy Sidorenko inequality. For every finite nonempty host G and every number of leaves t, the homomorphism density of the star with t leaves in G is at least the t-th power of the edge density of G. This is the classical positive case of Sidorenko inequality (the star case, via the power mean inequality), and it validates the counting definitions of the framework before the search for a violating host begins.

Roy, A Hoelder type inequality for symmetric matrices with nonnegative entries, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society 16 (1965), 1244-1245), within the framework of the uploaded manuscript A finite counterexample to Sidorenko conjecture (SidorenkoCounterexample.lean.txt).

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · glm-5-latest-short

Restate: for every number of leaves t, every finite nonempty vertex type W, and every simple graph G on W, the edge density of G raised to the t-th power is at most the homomorphism density of the star graph with t leaves in G.
