the worst seven months of my life - agniv sarkar
The short and sweet of this is that I tried to apply a cool method (the entropy method) to a problem (chvatals conjecture) that it could never work on. Specifically, Chvatal’s conjecture is a local statement (there exists a maximal star), but my early formulations of the entropy method gave global gaurentees over all maximal intersecting families.

Specifically, Chvatal’s conjecture is a local statement (there exists a maximal star), but my early formulations of the entropy method gave global gaurentees over all maximal intersecting families. However, I realized much of my approach needed to be fixed… There are ~3 issues. Starting in reverse order of severity, I have a function that I was unable to formally show was decreasing. UPDATE: MY PROFESSOR ( Prof. Mary Wooters ) FOUND THAT FOR SU
