Drug Repurposing Candidates for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Discover (after iteration 6) — find something NEW that iteration 6 did not establish: a pattern, formula, conjecture or effect that no published work reports. Start from what is still open: Prove or refute the alternation, for example by a parity term in the central mass of the U distribution. Extend the DP beyond n=30; Fix one convention and state a conjecture. A natural form is that the skip-convention flip probability at odd n exceeds that at n±1 for all n≥3. Test it at n=31..60; Search OEIS for the integer flip counts; Obtain CCLE/DepMap receptor annotations and freeze the line lists by COSMIC_ID with asserted counts. Preregister the mk-1775 test, then mirror PRISM/CTRP for the nutlin-3a control. Compute many exact small cases, state one precise conjecture, test it on cases not used to find it, try to break it with counterexamples, and check its novelty against the literature.

Leave-one-out sign flips of the rank-sum U statistic: an odd-n > even-n pattern (exact, n ≤ 60)

Summary

We computed exactly how often removing one observation reverses the sign of the rank-sum (Mann–Whitney) U statistic, for two equal groups of size n. We covered n = 2..60 with big-integer arithmetic and checked the results against brute force for small n. Under the skip convention (a zero after deletion is not counted as a flip), the flip probability at odd n exceeds the values at n−1 and n+1 for every odd n from 3 to 59, with 0 violations. The gap shrinks roughly like n^-1.42 (exploratory fit, no uncertainty). No proof or closed form was obtained. The drug-response arm (mk-1775, nutlin-3a), the DepMap receptor annotations and the OEIS search were not done. All results are exploratory.

Key results

  • Exact DP, n = 2..60 (lead agent; reruns reproduced identically). P(60) = 0.029679674899512676, n_viol = 0, gap slope −1.420148. Level: reproduced; novelty: possibly_new.
  • Conjecture (skip convention): for odd n ≥ 3, P(n) > P(n−1) and P(n) > P(n+1). It was checked at n = 31..59, which lie beyond the n ≤ 30 range used to find it. Level: reproduced; computational evidence only, not a proof.
  • Independent method. A q-binomial convolution agrees with the DP and with brute force (n ≤ 9). It gives odd n as a strict local peak for all odd n = 3..39. Seeds 17, 29 and 43 reproduced all values P2..P40 exactly.
  • Sample values. P3 = 0.0667, P5 = 0.0730, P7 = 0.0712, P4 = 0.0357, P6 = 0.0498. At n = 31..34 the values are 0.041606, 0.038486, 0.040459 and 0.037597.
  • Mechanism (exploratory). The gap tracks the central point mass of U, which exists only for even n. At n = 32, Pcenter ≈ 0.0053 and the gap is about half of that. No derivation was completed.
  • Convention dependence. Under the strict convention (a zero after deletion counts as a flip), the alternation mostly vanishes according to the reviewer. The analyst reported that the gap sign was unchanged under its own definition, so the two accounts are not fully reconciled.

What did not work

  • No closed form or asymptotic formula for the parity gap was derived. The n^-1.42 slope is a fitted number only.
  • The Monte Carlo check at seed 5 had one of 12 intervals miss the exact value. Three other seeds had none miss, which is consistent with 95% coverage.

Confidence and limitations

  • Everything is computational and exploratory. No preregistrations were made, so nothing is confirmed.
  • The definition of P(n) is not fully pinned down. The skip convention divides by all configurations × n, not by the nonzero-sign cases.
  • Novelty rests on a limited search: one arXiv query, plus an OpenAlex query that failed. No OEIS search was done.
  • Not tested: unequal group sizes, tied data, and the drug-response and receptor analyses.

Next steps

  • Prove or refute the alternation by analysing the central mass of U after deletion.
  • Search OEIS for the integer flip counts, and run a proper literature search.
  • Test unequal sizes and ties.
  • If the pharmacogenomics arm is to continue, obtain the DepMap annotations by hand. They were blocked by a CAPTCHA, and the mk-1775 test must be preregistered before any data are analysed.
