With a few more manually proved short statements (
https://github.com/icecream17/Stuff/blob/main/~w2.mm) I think that a new 
search with id, ax1, luk2, luk3 as base axioms as well as w2 has high 
potential to find new proofs for the missing theorems ax2 ax3 luk1. I tried 
to do this but it's hard as ever to get c++ code to compile
