Description

### What is the conjecture
The number of unlabeled alternating octopi with $n$ black nodes and $k$ white nodes has the g.f.

$$
\sum_{k,n\ge1} \frac{\phi(k)}{k}\log(\frac{(1-x^ny^n)^2}{1-x^ny^n(3+x^n+y^n)}).
$$

The conjecture is now that the number of those octopi with $n$ black nodes and $n$ white nodes (the diagonal of the above array) is

$$
\begin{equation}-2+3\sum_{d|n}\frac{\phi(n/d)\binom{2d}{d}}{2n}.\end{equation}
$$

Research direction

Start by inspecting existing formalized conjectures in the repository to find the expected file location, naming, and statement conventions. Translate the displayed generating-function and diagonal formula into Lean, then run the relevant project checks; done means the conjecture is added in the repository's established style and the checks pass.
