Prompt — Hilbert 16(b) campaign

New campaign on https://github.com/wustep/maths: Hilbert’s 16th problem, part (b) — the Hilbert number H(n).

Different from problems/hilbert16-degree-8/ (16(a)). Mint problems/hilbert16-limit-cycles/.

Method: imagine five completed solutions, write each as a concrete claim, work backwards. Drop a line if it contradicts the literature or fails a sanity check. Fork if half-right.

Fetch the record from arXiv/papers, not Wikipedia/forums. A dent is a verified finite improvement of a published H(n). Incomplete search is residue. Stephen Wu is the human author. README/explainers: ordinary English, no quest/dent/residue. Do not touch covering or 16(a).
