1- First, load braids.
2- Second, init the puzzle: (init-sudoku-string "..42....6.6..7..3.2....61..1....46...5..9..1...71....99....37...8..4..5...37....8")
3- Third, ask for the wanted elimination: (try-to-eliminate-candidates 523); SudoRules gives:
braid[8]: r2n1{c3 c6} - r1n1{c6 c2} - r9n1{c2 c5} - c1n5{r1 r9} - r1n7{c2 c8} - r9n6{c1 c8} - c8n9{r1 r3} - b1n9{r3c3 .} ==> r2c3 ≠ 5

What would have happened if at stage 3 Sudorules had found nothing?

Nothing.
Obviously, if the elimination was not available, SudoRules wouldn't do it. Function "try-to-eliminate-candidates" doesn't do more than its name suggests; in particular, it doesn't try to eliminate any other candidate than those listed as arguments.

I suggest you continue this discussion on the thread http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/questions-about-pbcs-t38617-15.html#p300643 where I ask you a question.

I wondered what Forcing-T&E would give for this puzzle. In a limited sense, Forcing-T&E is the opposite of my usual approach: instead of applying the simplest available rule at each step, regardless of the total number of steps, it tries to minimise the number of steps, regardless of the complexity of each step. Here, "minimise" has to be taken in a broad sense: only one resolution path is followed; optimisation of the choice of the successive starting bivalue pairs is purely local.

What I get is nine steps of Forcing-T&E(S), i.e. many more than in the few examples I had already tried:

(solve "..42....6.6..7..3.2....61..1....46...5..9..1...71....99....37...8..4..5...37....8")

DEFISE, does your number-of-steps optimisation algorithm apply to this?

Hi Denis,
No, but by applying this algorithm I can "minimize" the number of T&E(basics) steps.
(basics = alignments + naked & hidden pairs + naked triplets).
Example with 5 contradictions:

Singles: 7r8c1, 7r5c6
1L2C6 assumed => contradiction
=> Single: 1r2c3
6L8C4 assumed => contradiction
=> Singles: 9r8c4, 6r8c3
1L8C6 assumed => contradiction
=> Singles: 2r8c6, 3r8c7, 1r8c9
9L4C2 assumed => contradiction
Single: 9r4c3
Naked pair: 58b1p49 => -5r1c1 -8r1c1
Single: 3r1c1
8L3C3 assumed => contradiction
=> basics to the solution.

Interesting. How many resolution paths did you have to try for this result?

50 executions but they all give resolutions with 5 contradictions !
And with T&E (singles only) I need between 7 and 10 contradictions.
