Scope. The complete 9 by 9 exponent box, including both zero boundaries, for the explicit candidate 427771.

1) V1 There exists a natural m coprime to 6 such that 2^k 3^l m + 1 is composite for every pair of nonnegative exponents k,l.

Full-local mode. Canonical builds; m=1 witnesses the coprimality domain; independent transcription is definitionally equal both ways; direct negation remains unresolved; twelve compiling degenerate declarations all red as restatements. Five targeted literature searches and exact? found no solution. A deterministic search through m<2,000,000 found the strongest candidate m=427771 for the complete 0≤k,l≤8 box; Lean checks all 81 cases. No Commons.

Scope. One natural witness m, coprime to six, and all k,l ∈ ℕ including zero.
