Woodins Ultimate L Conjecture for Supercompact Cardinals

Assuming delta is an extendible cardinal, prove that there is an inner model N contained in HOD such that N is a weak extender model for the supercompactness of delta and N satisfies V=Ultimate-L.

Status Open Ultimate-L remains provisionally open with a formulation/consistency warning. The exacting-cardinal obstruction is conditional, not an unconditional disproof. Woodin's August 26, 2026 formulation remains conjectural but differs from the stated weak-extender-inside-HOD wording; equivalence requires specialist adjudication. The unrefereed broad proof essay was not accepted. Status reviewed Sep 14, 2026
