Mian-Chowla sequence replaces powers-of-2 as default:
- 8 slots: max 128 → 45 (65% reduction)
- 16 slots: max 32768 → 252 (99% reduction)
- All constructions verified as valid Sidon sets
Methods: 'powers_of_2' (old), 'greedy_optimal' (Mian-Chowla, default),
'algebraic' (number field construction for large n).
Based on Bloom-Sawin-Schildkraut-Zhelezov (2026) sum-product disproof.
