Title: Witnessed symmetric choice is strictly stronger than choiceless polynomial time with counting.

Abstract: We prove that witnessed symmetric choice strictly increases the expressive power of choiceless polynomial time with counting. A fixed sentence with one witnessed-choice occurrence defines a Boolean query on every finite input that is not definable in the original 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.
