NO GUESSWORK. JUST GRAPHS.
FINITE MATHEMATICS / OPEN EXPLORATIONVOL. 001

Find the beautiful
exception.✳

A thousand examples can suggest a rule.
One counterexample can change it.

Write a conjecture. Search every small graph.
Keep the evidence—and the next question.

02 / THE EXPLORATIONG(5, 5)

A small graph.
A big question.

This graph breaks
the conjecture.

An odd cycle refuses two colors.

Click “Test this conjecture” to find out whether this is the smallest possible counterexample.

03 / THE EVIDENCE

Curiosity, with a paper trail.

GRAPHS CHECKED—Exhaustive, never sampled
PREMISE SATISFIED—Graphs that test your implication
COUNTEREXAMPLES—A single one is enough
STATUSUnexploredA sketch is not search evidence

Finite search can disprove a universal claim. Passing every small graph is bounded evidence, never a theorem.

04 / INSIDE THIS GRAPH

Make the invisible structure visible.

Every property below is computed exactly for the graph you are editing.

Accessible adjacency editor +

Toggle an unordered vertex pair to add or remove its edge.

THE PROPERTY LIBRARY

Choose your ingredients.

Click a Boolean property to insert it. Numeric properties start a comparison you can edit.
