Validator for problem 063: Kissing Number in Dimension 6
The kissing number τ₆ is the maximum number of non-overlapping unit spheres
that can touch a central unit sphere in 6 dimensions.
Known bounds: 72 ≤ τ₆ ≤ 77
A valid kissing configuration is a set of unit vectors in R⁶ (contact points
on the central sphere) such that the Euclidean distance between any two
contact points is at least 1. Equivalently, the dot product between any
two distinct unit vectors is at most 1/2 (angular separation ≥ 60°).
This validator checks that:
1. All points lie on the unit sphere S⁵ (‖x‖ = 1)
2. All pairwise contact-point distances are ≥ 1 (dot products ≤ 1/2)
3. No two points are identical (deduplication)
4. Reports the number of valid contact points
Expected input format:
{"points": [[x₁, …, x₆], …]} each point in R⁶
or [[x₁, …, x₆], …]
