Large Language Model-Guided Discovery of Weight-Five Bivariate Bicycle Codes

Building on our earlier program-evolution workflow guided by large language models (LLMs), we study weight-five bivariate bicycle (BB) and perturbed bivariate bicycle (PBB) codes. The resulting catalogue contains 1,142 distinct code proposals, including 1,081 nonbaseline proposals attributable to LLM-generated programs. Across the catalogue, we certify connected Calderbank--Shor--Steane (CSS) realizations [[96,4,10]], [[140,6,10]], and [[180,4,14]]. A post-search comparison certifies seven imported Lin--Pryadko archive constructions. For leading parameter triples also represented in that archive, we provide exact distance evidence, explicit bivariate presentations, and verified component reductions. A basis-independent connectivity analysis identifies 409 of the 1,142 catalogue entries as disconnected and shows that 73.1\% of the classes with exact distance certificates contain repeated connected components. Algebraic analysis organizes the connected CSS classes into order-3, order-7, and order-15 cyclotomic-kernel strata. The strongest exact connected PBB parameter point is [[216,4,10]], attained by two distinct component classes. Among the 936 distinct CSS proposals from the LLM-guided campaign with a recorded positive distance, 816 (87.18\%) are certified at $d\geq5$. For comparison, three random-search controls each sample 6,444 CSS code proposals uniformly without replacement, using the same per-lattice and encoded-dimension sample counts as the LLM-guided campaign. In these controls, 4,672--4,785 proposals (72.50--74.26\%) meet the same criterion. The LLM-guided campaign has the higher certified yield, while the random controls cover more connected classes. Together, these results extend LLM-guided discovery to a more constrained code family and provide a reproducible structural and exact-distance account of its strongest candidates.
