PolyNeedN oNeed: there are constants $s,k$ (here $3200$ and $800$ ) such that for every parameter list $[n,U,s,p]$ the word size, the number of cells and the call depth that the batched counting oracle oProg needs (oNeed) are each at most polyBound 3200 800 ps $=2^{3200}\prod_i(p_i+1)^{800}$ .

Source

Developed for the prove2.me APSP exponent campaign (https://prove2.me/campaigns/apsp-exponent) on top of the Lean formalization anthropics/formal-math, folder 3sum-apsp, commit e1a4e65 (https://github.com/anthropics/formal-math/tree/e1a4e6508154ea59f030480661590a9fe3018011/3sum-apsp; Lean v4.33.1, Mathlib v4.33.1). The statement comes from the file 3sum-apsp/ThreeSumApsp/Batch/ONeedPoly.lean of the campaign's modified copy of that library, which is not published; the new definitions it uses are in the platform definition bundles APSP2995561_Defs1 and APSP2995561_Defs2 (and APSP2996001_Defs1-2, APSP299791_Defs1-5 of the earlier entries). It follows the technical note "Deterministic APSP via thin products" (revised 7 October 2026) refining J. Alman and V. Vassilevska Williams, "Truly Subquadratic 3SUM and Truly Subcubic APSP via Triangles in Sparse Lopsided Graphs", arXiv:2610.06783v1 (https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.06783v1), Lemma 4.1 (the oracle as a word-RAM program).
