sorting-network-16 › ROOT: Find a comparator network on 16 wires that …

Explore small-case sorting networks (n=9..13) with proven-optimal sizes (Harder 2020: s(11)=35, s(12)=39) and study how the constructions compose or extend toward n=16, e.g. via merging two n=8 optimal networks plus a final merge stage; compute what comparator count that composition yields and whether it beats 60.
