Can an AI Agent Rediscover a Blaschke-Curve Invariant?
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.38369v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study generalized Blaschke curves as a controlled environment for AI-assisted mathematical rediscovery. For one fixed degree-four Blaschke product, an agent receives numerical coordinates of the six pair-lines determined by each of 80 boundary configurations. The target theorem is withheld from the task instructions. The saved research log reports rejected geometric hypotheses and a homogeneous cubic fitted to polygon sides. Its frozen coefficients predict 480 lines from 80 unseen parameter values, with a recorded RMS scale-free residual of $8

Why it matters
The value of this work lies as much in how it was tested as in the claim itself. Sample design, baselines, uncertainty and replication help separate a laboratory result from real-world impact.
