Reviewable change
back to reviewErdős Problem #412 remains OPEN. Statement: Let $σ_1(n)=σ(n)$, the sum of divisors function, and $σ_k(n) = σ(σ_{k-1}(n))$. Is it true that, for every $m, n ≥ 2$, there exist some $i, j$ such that $σ_i(m) = σ_j(n)$? Topics: number theory, iterated functions. Erdős prize: no. Statement is machine-verified in Lean (formal-conjectures). OEIS: A007497, A051572.

vf_f16fcdca9d3a5803Read-only frontier; diff not recomputed.
Erdős problems frontier receives a reviewable source, finding, caveat, replication, evaluation, or proof-affecting edit.
The packet names affected record objects, evidence, rationale, reviewer-facing fields, and expected proof impact.
Schema, provenance, benchmark, contradiction, and proof checks decide whether the request is ready to read.
A steward accepts, rejects, caveats, revises, or retracts the request under an inspectable identity.
Only the accepted event mutates frontier state. Atlases, constellations, and search update from that record state.
