VibeMathed reports this item as resolved. VibeMath preserves that report as a source assertion and has not independently authored a plain-language mathematical explanation.
Fulek defined a weight-five three-row $0$-$1$ matrix $L_3$ and asked whether $\mathrm{ex}(n, L_3) = O(n)$. It is: every $r \times s$ matrix avoiding $L_3$ has at most $27r + 2s$ ones, so $6n - 8 \le \mathrm{ex}(n,L_3) \le 29n$ for $n \ge 5$. The same argument covers an infinite family of light three-row patterns, verifying a conjecture of Pettie and Tardos on linear light patterns for that family.
The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.
The acknowledgement says the two systems were used for proof exploration, proof criticism, exposition and revision, with no specific step attributed, so the lowest tier applies.
