Title: Choiceless polynomial time with counting does not capture polynomial time.

Abstract: We prove that choiceless polynomial time with counting does not capture polynomial time on unordered finite structures, confirming the noncapture conjecture of Blass, Gurevich and Shelah. A linear-consistency query over 𝔽3 in a fixed binary vocabulary is decidable in polynomial time but not in the full counting formalism.

This abstract is a catalogue record. It is not a verification and not a premise. It does not close O.1. O.1 stays NOT_CLOSED. No quantum coefficient is admitted. No compilation is asserted.
