It is generally assumed to be a truth that monolithic center nakade
eyes of size greater than 7 do not exist. Has this been proven?!

What does monolithic mean? Those formed by string connected groups, surely, but what else?

It would have to be a proof for larger than 10 (unless "monolithic" means something technical)

I'm sure monolithic places some kind of restrictions, both because it's Robert, and because it's very common knowledge that seven spaces isn't enough if you have cutting points or ataris in place.

I'm betting it will require a somewhat ugly case analysis to prove.

In

"A library of eyes in Go, II: Monolithic eyes"

Thomas Wolf has introduced the term monolithic for "adjacent to only one [surrounding] string".

Now Erik van der Werf has provided a sketch of a proof in
