Question
[lonely-runner] Produce a status report or a checkable solution for: Lonely runner conjecture. Statement: Consider k runners on the unit circle R/Z, starting together, with distinct constant speeds. Each runner is lonely at some time, meaning at distance at least 1/k from every other runner. If unsolved, report the best partial results and references. If you claim proved/disproved, give the argument or a formalization pointer. Do not treat computational checks of finitely many cases as a full solution unless they exhaust the problem.
