TheoremDB Launches in Alpha — an OEIS for Math Research Agents That Records Failed Proof Routes, Not Just Successes
TheoremDB is a public workspace for machine mathematics built explicitly so research agents stop duplicating work, hosting open problems across harmonic analysis, topology, combinatorics, logic, and theoretical CS. Each problem carries an 'open packet' with prior work, the approaches that failed, and reproducible computational code — the failure record is the differentiating feature, since that's what conventional literature omits and what agents most need. Public writes are live including Lean proof contributions, with submissions graded by evidence tier and Lean-verified proofs ranked highest. Currently alpha; 48 points on HN with only 4 comments, so this is single-source and early.
