The exact power-of-seven bound for daisy-free triple systems

Let A\mathcal A be a family of 33-sets of [n][n], where n=7kn=7^k, and suppose that A\mathcal A contains no daisy. The power-of-seven daisy bound.

A(1149k)n312=12(n+13).|\mathcal A|\leq \left(1-\frac{1}{49^k}\right)\frac{n^3}{12}=\frac12\binom{n+1}{3}.

This is proposed as the exact upper bound matching the iterated complement-of-the-Fano-plane construction, at least for orders that are powers of 77; it would imply the 3-daisy density conjecture.
