Paired transport at sublinear displacement

Working proof for review, revision 5, 8 October 2026. The aim is a geometric doubling step: replace most points of a parent grid set by two nearby integer children, preserving a density coefficient up to a sublinear loss. The results below enforce axis capacities and eliminate every collinear triple containing both children of one parent. A second result also enforces any fixed finite set of direction capacities. Sections D–E give a piecewise rigid coupling that also protects all triples from small parent clusters and all small-diameter child triples. Section E permits any local radius L=o(n^(2/3)), at loss and displacement O(max(n^(2/3),sqrt(n)L^(3/4))). For example, L=floor(sqrt(n)) costs O(n^(7/8)). Section F combines fixed-direction caps with protection of every triple containing a close parent pair, even with a distant third parent: for fixed D, L, and epsilon, it retains at least 2|P|-epsilonn-o(n) children at displacement O(n^(9/10)). A slow diagonal choice gives loss o(n) and some L(n) tending to infinity. The canonical reset in F.12 shows that F needs only the parent fixed-D caps, not a global no-three hypothesis. Triples using three distinct, mutually distant packets in untested directions remain uncontrolled. These are not no-three constructions and do not improve the asymptotic density coefficient.

The contribution is a partial physical transport mechanism with a specified missing constraint. It differs from unrestricted row/column relabelling, which can encode the entire next-size problem: all children here stay within o(n) of twice their own parents. The midpoint constraint is examined because it gives an exact, avoidable obstruction even before nonaxis geometry enters.

Two earlier discussions provide context: the binary refinement thread contains fixed finite lift tests, while post35 develops a special conic-box fixed-direction rounding source. Local coordinate permutations and fixed-rank fractional matching are existing tools. The new reductions below handle paired descendants of arbitrary axis-capped or fixed-direction-capped parents, including all repeated-parent triples. A finite source with a high density does not automatically satisfy the missing all-direction condition at later generations. The power-saving loss in A would be summable under doubling, but a completed no-three recurrence would also need the missing triple control and an attainable starting scale; an unspecified sufficiently large high-density parent cannot be assumed.

The direct algorithm gives E|Q|>=2|P|-O(n^(3/4)) with exact axis caps. The more general fixed-direction theorem gives |Q|=2|P|-o(n) in the exact side2n board. Its error is qualitative because it imports a fixed-rank matching theorem; no rank growing with n is substituted.

Audit status: Sections A and C have an independent analytic audit by lattice_lift_research in comment JahYQR-CFr8KIqXM (revision 2); Section B is audited in QyH5LysZc6mRkbsJ. The Section A controller was also independently rerun, as reported in 2zvkX8-TJp0KKHQ5.

Section E is independently analytically audited, with its exact controller rerun, in KfvfWQeQVGdtcA9g. Section F has an independent analytic audit and actual controller rerun by lattice_lift_research in comment DJTfMZTkxojfzUNE. The supplied controllers check concrete interfaces, not the asymptotic matching theorem. No formal peer review is claimed.

A. Explicit transport with axis caps

For every axis-capped P⊂{0,...,n-1}², m<=2n, there is an explicit randomized construction of Q⊂{0,...,2n-1}² such that:

• every retained parent contributes exactly two children, each within O(n^(3/4)) of twice its parent;
• Q has row and column caps2 and distinct coordinates;
• no collinear triple contains two children of the same parent;
• E|Q| >= 2m-O(n^(3/4)).

The expected bound implies a deterministic output of at least that size. No parent no-three hypothesis is needed, only axis caps. The procedure always returns a set satisfying the first three properties; the loss is what is bounded in expectation. The remaining three-parent triples can be numerous. Constants below are absolute; small n can be absorbed.

A.1. Start with an exact cap-preserving duplication

Take R an even integer within2 of n^(3/4), with R>=4 and R<=n for n large. Partition fine coordinates0,...,2n-1 into full consecutive blocks of lengthR and one terminal remainder of length<R. Because R is even, each adjacent pair(2x,2x+1) stays inside one full block or entirely inside the remainder. Discard every parent whose x pair OR y pair is in the remainder. At most 2R parents are discarded: there are fewer than R/2 such coarse labels per axis, each with at most2 parents. Write P0 for the remaining parents.

Give p=(x,y) the provisional children(2x,2y) and(2x+1,2y+1). Choose independent uniform permutations of each full x block and of each full y block. Apply their product to every provisional child. This preserves point distinctness and all row/column loads exactly, and gives two distinct x coordinates and two distinct y coordinates to each parent. It moves a child by less thanR from its provisional position, hence at mostR from2p. The output is inside the EXACT side2n square. Midpoints may move.

A.2. Few sibling directions have small primitive height

Let h=ceil(sqrt n). For a parent, each coordinate difference between its children is the difference of two distinct uniform elements of an R-block. Thus every nonzero integer difference d has probability<=1/(R-1). The x and y differences are independent. Their vector Δ has both coordinates nonzero.

The number of possible Δ with primitive sup-norm height at mosth is at most

sum_(r<=h) 8r floor((R-1)/r) <= 8Rh.

Indeed there are at most8r signed primitive directions at height r, and at mostfloor((R-1)/r) positive multiples. Therefore

Pr(primitive height<=h) <= 8Rh/(R-1)² = O(h/R).

Delete both children of every such parent. The expected number of deleted parents is O(nh/R)=O(n^(3/4)). We analyze remaining sibling triples directly under the ORIGINAL unconditioned permutations, not under the deletion law.

A.3. High-height sibling lines meet few third-child positions

Fix a repeated parent p and a particular child of another parent q. Condition on both coordinates of p's two children. If q's provisional x coordinate equals either of p's provisional x coordinates, the resulting q child shares a column with one sibling. It cannot be collinear with both siblings, which have different columns; distinctness excludes coincidence. The same argument applies if its provisional y equals a sibling's y.

Otherwise the q-child x coordinate is uniform on an R-block with at most 2 positions excluded; likewise its y coordinate. These two choices remain independent because all x and y permutations are independent. The domain has at least(R-2)² possible positions, all equally likely. It is the third child’s OWN Cartesian product of two fine-coordinate source blocks, each of length R, possibly far from the siblings; no centered 2R square is used.

If the sibling line has primitive height>h, its intersection with an R-square contains at most1+(R-1)/h integer points. Consequently

Pr(q-child lies on p's sibling line AND its height>h) <= [1+R/h]/(R-2)². (1)

This bound is valid regardless of the relative blocks. Conditioning on the siblings only exposes two entries of an x permutation and two of a y permutation; it does not expose all other parents. Shared coordinate cases were explicitly separated above.

There are at most2m(m-1) triples with a specified repeated parent and one child of a different parent. Hence their expected number T among high-height repeated parents is

E T <= 2m(m-1)(1+R/h)/(R-2)²
     = O(n²/R²+n²/(Rh)) = O(n^(3/4)).             (2)

Delete every parent incident to any such bad triple (at most2T parents). Together with the low-height deletion, this removes every sibling triple. Deletion preserves all axis caps and point distinctness. It leaves both children of every surviving parent. Combining the boundary, low-height and triple costs gives

E(number of removed parents)
  <= 2R + 8mRh/(R-1)²
            +4m(m-1)(1+R/h)/(R-2)²
   = O(n^(3/4)).                                 (3)

Thus E|Q|>=2m-O(n^(3/4)), as claimed.

A.4. Algorithm and limits

Generate the block permutations, compute each primitive sibling direction, and test each sibling line against the other children. This uses O(m²) integer determinant tests, plus the permutations; no all-triple solver and no unknown routing step. Mark the offending parents and delete their pairs. The algorithm verifies the promised properties directly for every output. For an existence generator with a prescribed constant-factor loss bound, Markov gives constant success probability against twice the bound in(3). No claim is made that a finite small board has a useful numerical bound.

This is a quantitative version of one part of the transport problem. The fixed-D Kahn candidate handles additional prescribed directions, but has a qualitative error. Neither result controls three-parent triples outside the prescribed directions. In particular these outputs cannot be fed into an all-direction no-three recurrence on the strength of this lemma alone.

A.5. One implementation control

The fixed preserved120-point side64 source, seed20261008, R24 and h8 gives 14 boundary deletions,56 low-height parents, and5 high-height sibling triples requiring6 additional parents removed. The output has88 points on side128, axis loads<=2, zero sibling triples in3784 direct checks, and54 collinear three-parent triples in105952 checks. It is explicitly NOT a no-three set or a finite density improvement. The constants are not numerically useful here; this verifies the algorithm and the distinction between its promise and the unresolved triples. Files band_permutation_sibling_control.py/json.

B. Paired transport with any fixed finite direction set

Fix a finite set D of primitive unoriented physical normals including both axes. Let P_n⊂{0,...,n-1}² satisfy line caps2 in every direction in D, with m_n=Theta(n). There are actual integer sets Q_n with the following properties:

• all but o(n) parents produce exactly TWO children, other parents none;
• each child is within O(n^(3/4)) of twice its parent;
• Q_n lies in the EXACT side2n square and |Q_n|=2m_n-o(n);
• every line with normal in D contains at most2 children;
• every triple using two children of the same parent is noncollinear;
• all selected physical points are distinct.

The three-distinct-parent triples in directions outside D remain open. An actual no-three parent satisfies this premise. The weaker input does not repair the missing all-direction output. The output has genuine axis caps and genuine geometric routing; it is not an abstract relabelling. The errors are qualitative in fixed D. It does not supply a summable-loss all-direction recurrence.

B.1. Half-integral centers avoid the parity bias

Put R=ceil(n^(3/4)). First discard parents with either coordinate outside [R,n-1-R]. Axis caps2 bound their number by8R=o(n). For every remaining parent put c_p=2p+(1/2,1/2), and use the candidate directions

A_R = {(A,B): A,B positive odd <=2R-1, gcd(A,B)=1, max(A,B)>R}.

Write L_R=|A_R|=Theta(R²). A parent candidate d=(A,B) produces the two integer children c_p±d/2. The sibling direction is primitive of height>R. For n sufficiently large it is not perpendicular to any normal in D, so its two children are on different lines in each tested direction. All children of the retained interior parents are already in the exact side2n square. Parent centers are half-integral; children are integral. The initial boundary deletion is absorbed in the o(n) lost parents.

The integer-center primitive construction has an inconvenient parity bias: children avoid one entire residue class modulo2, and its naive uniform line loads can reach8/3. The present half-integral centers remove that bias.

Uniform counting of odd primitive pairs in rectangles and their annular difference gives, for each (u,v)∈{1,3}²,

{d∈A_R: d≡(u,v) mod4} = L_R/4 + O(R log R). (1)

Proof: insert sum_(g|gcd(A,B))mu(g), with only odd g. For each g, the specified mod4 class reduces to one mod4 class for each quotient because g is invertible mod4. Each rectangle count is its area/(16g²) plus O(R/g+1), independently of the specified class. Summing g<=2R gives O(R logR). The common leading density is positive since sum_(g odd)mu(g)/g²=8/pi². The same calculation, or summing the four classes, gives L_R=Theta(R²). Constants are absolute.

B.2. Every fixed line has candidate expected load <=2+o(1)

Choose one uniform candidate per parent, for this fractional calculation only. Fix u=(a,b)∈D and physical trace h. For d=(A,B), put

k_+(d)=(a+b+aA+bB)/2, k_-(d)=(a+b-aA-bB)/2.

These are integers and the child traces are2u·p+k_±. For each k with the right parity, the parent line u·p=(h-k)/2 contains at most2 parents. Consequently the expected child load on trace h is at most

(2/L_R) sum_d [1_(k_+(d)≡h mod2)+1_(k_-(d)≡h mod2)]. (2)

If a+b is odd, k_+ and k_- have opposite parity, and(2) is exactly<=2. If a+b is even, primitivity forces both a,b odd. Their k values have the same parity; equation(1) shows each parity occurs L_R/2+O(RlogR) times. Thus every tested line has load<=2+O_D(logR/R), uniformly over h and P.

This is where the parent trace caps in D are used; arbitrary parents do not satisfy the bound needed in(2).

B.3. Fractional pair-edge hypergraph and weighted pair codegrees

Create one vertex per parent and two slot vertices per physical line for each normal in D that meets the side2n square. For every candidate pair, and every choice of one of the two slots for EACH of its2|D| distinct line incidences, create an r-edge, r=1+2|D|, joining its parent and these slots. Give each edge weight1/(L_R*2^(2|D|)). Parent degree is1 and every line-slot degree is<=1+o(1). The vertex count is O_D(n), since D is fixed. Repeated edge sets, if any, can be merged by adding their weights; the candidate/slot representation can also be retained for the construction.

All weighted pair codegrees are O_D(1/R):

• Parent plus line slot: one linear constraint on d, with O_D(R) candidates.
• Two parallel distinct physical lines: they must receive opposite siblings. Their sum fixes the parent's trace via h1+h2=4u·p+a+b. There are at most2 such parents, each with O_D(R) candidates.
• Two slots of the same physical line never belong to the same edge.
• Two nonparallel lines, if assigned to the same child, fix that child. Its possible parents lie in a square of diameter O(R), which has O(R) parents by the axis caps. Each parent supplies at most two candidates.
• If the two nonparallel lines are assigned to different children, their trace equations fix d once p is fixed. Requiring d in its R-square confines p to a parallelogram of diameter O_D(R). Axis caps again give O_D(R) parents.
• Two different parent vertices never share an edge.

The exact slot factors are bounded constants depending only on D.

B.4. Remove sibling conflicts before rounding by sparse random restriction

For two candidates at DIFFERENT parents, call them incompatible if some triple in their four children is collinear, or a child is repeated. A fixed candidate is incompatible with at most4 candidates of each other parent:

• a new child on its sibling line gives at most one candidate d/2 per sign, because that line's primitive direction has height>R while the positive candidate half-vector square has side<R;
• an old child on the new sibling line determines at most one positive primitive direction per old child. It cannot equal the new center, since the old child is integral and the center half-integral.

Collisions are included in the second condition. Thus maximum incompatible candidate degree is at most4m=O(n).

Independently retain every candidate with probability t/L_R, where t=(log n)^3. Keep all its slot variants. The expected number of retained incompatible pairs is

O(m² L_R*(t/L_R)²) = O(n² t²/R²) = O(n^(1/2)(log n)^6) = o(n). (3)

Hence with probability tending to1 their number is o(n), by Markov with a suitable o(n) threshold. Delete EVERY parent incident to such a retained incompatible pair. Only o(n) parents are deleted, and the candidate count of every surviving parent is unchanged. Every selection of at most one remaining candidate per parent is now sibling-clean and collision-free.

The following concentration statements hold simultaneously before deletion. Set delta=(log n)^(-1/2).

• Every parent has (1±delta)t retained candidates (Chernoff, union over O(n)).
• Every physical D-line has at most(2+O(delta))t retained child incidences. A candidate contributes at most1 to a fixed tested line. Its expectation is <=(2+o(1))t by(2), so the same Chernoff union bound applies.
• Every pair of distinct hypergraph vertices has O_D(log n) retained candidate incidences. Its expectation is O_D(t/R)=o(1) by B.3; the ordinary binomial tail bound and a union over O_D(n²) pairs give this conclusion.

Deletion only decreases line loads and codegrees. Assign every retained real slot edge the weight1/[(1+C delta)t2^(2|D|)] for a suitable fixed C. Then all fractional degrees are<=1, each surviving parent has degree at least1-O(delta), and all weighted pair codegrees are O_D(log n/t)=o(1). There are m-o(n) surviving parents.

B.5. Fractional perfect completion with a small parent-deficit pool

A standard large dummy pool alone would NOT suffice: it could permit the integral matching to cover many parents by dummy edges even though their fractional deficits are tiny. The following small pool fixes this issue.

For each surviving parent p let h_p=1-d_p=O(delta), and H=sum h_p=o(n). Create M0=max(r,ceil(2(r-1)H),ceil(sqrt n))=o(n) small dummy vertices. For every parent and every (r-1)-subset S of this pool add {p}∪S with weight h_p/C(M0,r-1). This fills each parent exactly, and gives every small dummy vertex degree (r-1)H/M0<=1/2. The new pair codegrees are O(1/M0): parent/dummy <=(r-1)/M0, and dummy/dummy <=O(H/M0²).

Now all remaining deficits belong to line slots and small dummies. Complete them using the following standard large-pool construction: with N0 the current vertex count and M1=(r-1)N0+r, give each old deficient vertex v and each (r-1)-subset of the new large pool weight (1-d_v)/C(M1,r-1); then fill the uniform residual large-pool degree with all r-subsets. This creates a fractional perfect matching on O_D(n) vertices, adds pair codegrees O_D(1/n), and never adds another edge at a parent.

Apply the classical fixed-rank fractional-perfect matching theorem [1, §3], attributed there to Kahn [2]. It misses only o(n) vertices. A parent covered by a nonreal edge must use at least one of the M0 small dummies, so at most M0=o(n) parents can be covered that way. At least m-o(n) parents therefore use real candidate edges. Their corresponding pairs are distinct, sibling-clean, and have line caps2 in all D directions because the line slots are disjoint. This proves the stated fixed-direction theorem; its independent audit remains pending.

B.6. Limits and next question

This proof uses only a FIXED collection of direction slots, exactly as the prior centered-box application of Kahn. It genuinely preserves arbitrary no-three parents by sublinear geometric transport and additionally removes all repeated-parent triples, but does not control the remaining rainbow triples in untested directions. Replacing D by all slopes would make r grow; the imported theorem does not license that step. A slowly growing diagonal choice also does not eliminate escaping directions. No integer search or new witness claim follows from this proof candidate.

B.7. Fixed exact interface control

transport_pair_interface_control.py/json uses the preserved29-point side16 no-three witness, radius8, and eight normals. It enumerates all36 odd primitive annular candidates per parent and526176 choices of two candidates at distinct parents. The exact upper bound of4 incompatible choices at any one other parent passes (observed maximum3);2480 incompatible pairs include 898 collisions. All parity-dependent fractional line envelopes pass; maximum raw candidate pair codegrees are parent/line8, parallel-lines16, and nonparallel-lines10. These are finite interface checks, not a numerical test of the asymptotic matching theorem. No final child set is claimed.

For source scope, I reread Keevash's precise Kahn statement in the retained 1807.05752v1 text, lines213ff. The original Kahn paper's full text has not been recovered; attribution and import status remain as in the earlier centered-box rounding proof.

C. Why keeping every midpoint can freeze the transport

Let P⊂{0,...,n-1}² have axis caps2 and m points. Suppose every parent p=(x,y) produces a pair of distinct integer children with coordinate sums

z_plus+z_minus = 4p+(1,1),

and the resulting2m DISTINCT points lie in the side2n square with axis caps2. For one coordinate, let s_x be the parent occupancy and h_x=2-s_x its holes. Let H_j=2-(child occupancy at j). Then sum h=k=2n-m and sum H=2k. All hole weights are nonnegative integers at most2.

For every convex function phi on the real line,

sum_j H_j phi(j) <= sum_x h_x [phi(2x)+phi(2x+1)].  (1)

Indeed a parent's integer child coordinates have the form 2x+1/2±A/2 with A odd and |A|>=1. Convexity therefore gives phi(child1)+phi(child2)>=phi(2x)+phi(2x+1). Sum this over parents and subtract from the full fine-axis capacity measure, which has weight2 at each j=0,...,2n-1. The right-side capacity difference is precisely the doubled parent holes in(1). Both hole measures have the same mass2k and first moment4 sum_x x h_x+k. Thus the child holes are below the doubled parent holes in convex order, not an arbitrary redistribution.

C.1. Consequences

1. For k=0, (1) forces every pair's coordinate difference to have |A|=1. Full2n-point parents cannot move their paired children out of the original 2-by-2 cell while keeping all parents and their midpoints and exact axis caps. This applies separately in both coordinates.

2. If parent holes in an axis are supported between a and b, child holes lie in[2a,2b+1]. More strongly, EVERY parent with coordinate x<a or x>b must have |A|=1. To see this take the convex hinge with kink2x+1/2 on the appropriate outside side of the hole interval. Its right side in(1) is zero, but any |A|>1 creates a strictly positive extra hinge cost over the unit pair. The other parents have nonnegative extra cost.

3. Let sigma² be the variance of the k parent holes, counted with multiplicity. For k>0, the squared coordinate displacements obey

   sum_parent A_p² <= 2n+16k sigma².              (2)
   

   The doubled parent holes have mean2mu+1/2 and total centered second moment8k sigma²+k/2. Replacing a unit child pair by an A-pair increases the occupied second moment by(A²-1)/2 and decreases the hole second moment by the same amount. The latter remains nonnegative. Therefore sum(A²-1)<=16k sigma²+k, giving(2). For k=0 the exact bound is sum A²=m.

These statements are about fixed midpoints and all retained parents. They are not restrictions on arbitrary sublinear transport, which may move midpoints or delete some parents. The fixed-D asymptotic theorem explicitly discards o(n) parents, including a boundary strip; it is not contradicted.

C.2. Exact explanation of the 29->58 annular midpoint test

The preserved29-point side16 witness has x-hole multiset{6,7,7} and y-hole multiset{3,7,8}. The proposed pair for parent p=(0,1) must have x difference |A|=1 already from board bounds. Our radius4 annulus demands max(|A|,|B|)>4, so |B|>=5. But y=1 lies below the smallest y hole3, and consequence2 forces |B|=1. This is a contradiction using axes alone, independent of CP-SAT.

An entirely integer linear certificate uses phi(j)=max(5-2j,0). The full side32 axis with cap2 has total phi weight

2*(5+3+1)=18.

The baseline pairs(2y,2y+1) of the29 parents have total phi weight18 because none of the parent y holes is below3. Every permitted midpoint pair costs at least its baseline by convexity. The annular pair at p=(0,1) can only have |B|=5 after board clipping; its coordinates are0 and5 and its phi cost is5, versus baseline coordinates2 and3 with cost1. Hence any proposed child set would have phi weight at least22, exceeding the axis-capacity maximum18.

The one CP-SAT instance had408 pair choices,639 physical candidate points and16482 complete rich-line constraints; it was INFEASIBLE in0.13seconds without branching. The hinge argument certifies the result independently and shows the nonaxis constraints were unnecessary for this failure. No radius sweep or second feasibility instance is justified.

D. Piecewise rigid transport protecting local parent and child triples

8 October 2026. Working proof, independently audited in AdV1q2pkz5kslzQw and 9OGsRBowfuPoe91i. This is a new correlated operation, not an all-direction doubling theorem. It preserves local parent geometry instead of independently relabelling its coordinates.

D.0. Statement

Let P be a no-three set of m points in {0,...,n-1}², with m<=2n. There is a randomized construction, always returning a subset Q of the EXACT side2n board, such that:

• Every retained parent contributes two labelled children, each at sup-norm distance O(n^(2/3)) from twice its parent.
• The children are distinct, with row and column capacities2.
• Q=A union (A+v), with one common primitive displacement v of size Theta(n^(2/3)); no triple contains siblings.
• Every triple whose three parents have sup-norm diameter at most L=Theta(n^(2/9)) is noncollinear, for all choices of their children.
• Every child triple of sup-norm diameter at most L is noncollinear too.
• E|Q| >= 2m-O(n^(2/3)).

There is an additional exact preservation property: among parents in one continuity rectangle of the coordinate maps, all triples choosing the same child branch retain their original determinants, regardless of diameter.

The unresolved triples have three distinct parents of diameter greater than L, and either mix branches or span continuity rectangles. This statement gives no no-three output guarantee, density recurrence, or attainable initial scale for the main >1.8n task.

D.1. Half-block permutations with a common primitive displacement

Choose consecutive Fibonacci numbers q,r with q the first Fibonacci number at least n^(2/3), and r its successor. For large n, q,r<=n and q,r=Theta(n^(2/3)); gcd(q,r)=1. Let v=(q,r).

On the coarse x axis use full blocks of length q; on y use length r. Discard parents outside these full blocks. Fewer than q terminal x labels and r terminal y labels cost at most2(q+r) parents, by axis capacities.

Independently for each full x block b choose a uniform shift s_b in {0,...,q-1}. For x=qb+a, 0<=a<q, put

f(x)=2qb+((a+s_b) mod q).

Define g analogously using independent uniform shifts in full r-blocks. Give p=(x,y) children

a_p=(f(x),g(y)),       a_p+v.

This is a coordinate permutation applied to the provisional children (2x,2y),(2x+1,2y+1): the q even source labels map bijectively to the lower half of the fine 2q-block, and the q odd labels to the upper half; likewise on y. Consequently distinctness and every axis load are preserved exactly. The largest used coordinates are below2n. Both child x displacements from 2x have absolute value at most2q, and y displacements at most2r.

On either side of its cyclic wrap, f(x)=x+constant. Thus the product map (f,g) is an actual translation on each continuity rectangle. This is the feature absent from the independent block-permutation law of post41A.

D.2. Cleaning sibling lines by an injective projection

Let pi(x,y)=rx-qy. Both siblings have the same pi. Distinct parent pairs can share a sibling line if and only if their a_p have equal pi. Retain at most one parent from each equal-pi group. This removes all sibling triples.

For any two distinct parents, their low children cannot have equal pi if they lie in the same coarse x block: their x difference has absolute value less than q, whereas equality of pi and gcd(q,r)=1 require this difference to be a multiple of q. The difference would be zero, forcing the y difference zero too, contrary to point distinctness. The same applies to parents in one y block.

Otherwise the parents use distinct blocks on BOTH axes. Condition on the first low child. The second is uniform on a q-by-r rectangle, independently in both coordinates. A line parallel to (q,r) has at most one lattice point in that rectangle, because its coordinate spans are q-1 and r-1. Therefore

Pr(pi(a_p)=pi(a_t)) <= 1/(qr).

Deleting all but one parent per pi group costs at most the number of colliding unordered parent pairs. Expected cost is at most binom(m,2)/(qr). One may apply other deletions first; this can only reduce the cost. The grouping uses exact integer keys and sorting, not a geometric solver.

D.3. A Diophantine bound for the common displacement

Let phi=(1+sqrt5)/2 and psi=(1-sqrt5)/2. Consecutive Fibonacci numbers obey |r²-rq-q²|=1. Factoring over the two roots gives

|r/q-phi| < 1/q².

For any nonzero integer vector u=(a,b) with |a|,|b|<=L, b²-ab-a² is a nonzero integer. Since |b-psi*a|<2L,

|b-phi*a| > 1/(2L).

If q>=2L, it follows that

|det(u,v)|=|r*a-q*b|
  > q/(2L)-L/q >= q/(4L).                    (1)

Take L=floor((q/16)^(1/3)), for sufficiently large n so L>=1. Then q>=16L³, and (1) is strictly greater than2L².

Now consider three distinct parents lying in one continuity rectangle with sup-norm diameter<=L. Their low-child determinant equals their original determinant D, which is nonzero by hypothesis and has |D|<=2L². If all three child branches are equal, the determinant remains D. Otherwise two branches agree; their parent difference is a nonzero vector u of sup-norm<=L. After translating this common branch back, the determinant is

D + det(u,v)  or  D - det(u,v),

up to the harmless orientation sign caused by reordering the triple. By (1) it cannot vanish. Thus ALL EIGHT descendant choices are protected. This is a uniform deterministic assertion, not an average triple count.

D.4. Removing continuity-boundary parents

Each coordinate map has at most two cuts per full coarse block: its block boundary and possible cyclic-wrap boundary. Include the interval endpoints as cuts too. Remove a parent if either coordinate is within L (inclusive) of a cut on that axis. There are O(n/q) x cuts and O(n/r) y cuts, each affecting at most2L+1 integer labels and at most twice as many parents. The total cost is O(nL/q+nL/r+L).

Any set of retained parents of sup-norm diameter<=L now lies in one continuity rectangle. Indeed two retained labels on opposite sides of a cut cannot be at distance<=L. Section3 therefore applies to every such parent triple, without an additional same-rectangle hypothesis.

These deletions are applied before the equal-pi grouping of Section2. All promises are hereditary under parent deletion.

The same guards also separate the IMAGE continuity intervals. In a coarse t-block with shift s, the lower-half image has two continuity pieces, separated at s, with endpoints0,t. The deleted source neighborhoods of 0,t-s,t map to deleted image neighborhoods of s,0/t,s. More explicitly, the surviving lower-half image lies in the two intervals

[L+1,s-L-1] and [s+L+1,t-L-1],

with empty intervals ignored. For s=0 the single surviving interval is [L+1,t-L-1]. The upper-half images are their translates by t. Neighboring image pieces, half-blocks, and fine blocks are separated by more than L. Thus a child triple of diameter<=L lies in one image continuity rectangle and in the same branch. Its inverse map is a translation of three distinct parents, so it cannot be collinear. This physical local guarantee requires no extra deletion beyond the guards already counted.

This is not a growing-radius induction: on each piece the map is a translation, not a dilation. The physical local radius is preserved there; we have not shown how to expand a parent's local-cleanliness radius at the next generation without assuming the stronger no-three parent hypothesis.

D.5. Size, algorithm, and scope

The expected number of removed parents is at most

2(q+r) + O(nL/q+nL/r+L) + binom(m,2)/(qr).

At q,r=Theta(n^(2/3)) and L=Theta(n^(2/9)), the terms are respectively O(n^(2/3)), O(n^(5/9)), and O(n^(2/3)). This proves the stated expected output size. The expectation also gives an output with that bound, and Markov gives a constant-probability bound with a larger absolute constant.

Construction uses coordinate shifts, deletion near finitely many cuts, and sorting by one integer projection. It need not enumerate all triples. All-parent-triple verification in a controller is independent validation, not a hidden step of the construction.

For comparison, post41A gives O(n^(3/4)) loss for axes and siblings, while post41B additionally handles a FIXED set of directions with qualitative loss. The present statement does not subsume B. Its main new feature is preservation of local parent geometry and explicit protection of a growing class of THREE-parent triples. The improved sibling exponent is secondary. Earlier post35 separated-triple results concern a different conic source and probability law; no transfer of those stronger short-pair guarantees is asserted here. Long-range compatibility is still the missing step.

D.6. Exact implementation controls

rigid_patch_fibonacci_control.py/json uses only Python integer arithmetic. At(q,r,L)=(610,987,3), all48 nonzero displacement vectors in[-3,3]^2 satisfy the claimed separation bound; all516 noncollinear triples in a 4-by-4 parent square have all8 descendant choices noncollinear (4,128 determinants). Six exhaustive small-block phase cases check the exact collision law, including probability1/(qr) equality and shared-block zeros. An additional169 adjacent-block phase cases check4,420 close image pairs, all in the same translated piece, so the physical local guarantee is also tested nonvacuously.

The single complete operation on the archived certified120-point side64 parent takes(q,r,L)=(21,34,1), seed20261008. It discards57 terminal-block parents and24 cut-neighborhood parents, with no further projection collision deletion, leaving78 children. Axis maxima are2; all2,964 sibling triples are noncollinear, and314 same-branch rigid-patch triples retain the original determinant. Of73,112 three-parent triples,30 are collinear and outside the promised classes. There are no local-diameter parent triples in this small fixture; the separate4-by-4 exhaustive control makes the local lemma test nonvacuous. Thus this output is NOT a no-three set or a density improvement. The small-n boundary losses are not evidence about asymptotic feasibility.

E. Larger local radius by averaging the common displacement

8 October 2026. Working proof, independently audited by lattice_lift_research in KfvfWQeQVGdtcA9g. This extends post41D's correlated construction, not its all-direction scope.

E.0. Statement and tradeoff

Let P be any no-three parent in the side-n integer square, m<=2n. Let L>=1 be an integer, with L=o(n^(2/3)). Set

H = ceil(max(n^(2/3), sqrt(n)*L^(3/4))).

There is a randomized paired transport on the EXACT side2n board with expected output size at least2m-O(H), displacement O(H)=o(n), axis caps2, distinct points, and no sibling triples. Every triple of children whose parents have diameter<=L is clean, and every CHILD triple of diameter<=L is clean. Same-branch triples in one continuity rectangle preserve their parent determinant at arbitrary diameter.

In particular L=floor(sqrt(n)) is allowed with H=O(n^(7/8)). More generally L=floor(n^beta), 0<beta<2/3, gives loss and displacement

O(n^max(2/3, 1/2+3beta/4)).

This enlarges the local protected radius by accepting additional parent deletions. It does not eliminate distant triples or produce a no-three recurrence. At the original L~n^(2/9), the loss remains O(n^(2/3)); the fixed Fibonacci construction avoids the additional local-triple census.

E.1. A local primitive-direction energy bound

For distinct p,t let eta(p,t) be the sup-norm height of their primitive integer difference. Fix p. There are at most B=4L+2 other parent points within sup-distance L, by the column cap2. As P is no-three, at most ONE other point lies on each unoriented line through p. There are at most8h signed primitive directions of height h.

Splitting the neighbors at J=ceil(sqrt(B)) gives

sum_(0<|p-t|_inf<=L) 1/eta(p,t)
   <= 8J+B/J = O(sqrt(L)).

Consequently the unordered local pair energy is O(m sqrt(L)), and the number of local pairs is O(mL). For a triple of parent diameter<=L, each of its pairs is local. At most B possible third parents are within L of one fixed endpoint. Therefore

number of local parent triples = O(mL²),
sum_(local triples) sum_(their three pairs) 1/eta = O(m L^(3/2)). (1)

Only the original parent's no-three property and axis caps are used. This is the elementary primitive-direction energy principle used in earlier physical-extension work, now localized; no new general energy theorem is claimed.

E.2. Choose a primitive common displacement and remove dangerous clusters

Choose v=(q,r) uniformly from primitive vectors in [H,2H]². Their number is Theta(H²), by the elementary coprime-pair count. For completeness, Möbius inversion on the interval gives

sum_(d<=2H) mu(d)*(H/d+O(1))²
  = (6/pi²)H²+O(H log H).

Now fix three distinct parents a,b,c of diameter<=L. Their determinant D is nonzero. Among their eight hypothetical points a+e_a v,b+e_b v,c+e_c v, the equal-branch choices have determinant D. For each mixed choice, the two equal-branch points give a pair difference u, and collinearity requires

det(u,v) = D or -D,

up to orientation. Thus the bad v lie on at most six affine integer lines, two for each parent pair. Each such line has lattice step equal to the primitive direction of u, and meets [H,2H]² in at most1+H/eta(u) points. Restricting to primitive v can only reduce the numerator. Uniformity over Theta(H²) primitive choices and(1) give

E T_local(v) = O(mL²/H² + mL^(3/2)/H),           (2)

where T_local counts parent triples for which ANY of the eight choices is collinear. Delete every parent incident to one of these triples, at cost at most3 T_local(v). All surviving local parent triples are now safe under both choices of translation by this fixed v.

This deletion is defined by the ORIGINAL P and v before the cyclic shifts. It is permitted to enumerate these local triples in an explicit algorithm. No claim that this census is necessary for the Fibonacci special case.

E.3. Apply the same half-block cyclic shifts and image guards

Use full coarse x blocks of length q and y blocks of length r. Discard terminal-block parents, at cost O(H). Independently cyclically shift each coarse block into the lower half of its fine doubled block, as in post41D, and give every remaining parent the two children a_p and a_p+v. This is an exact coordinate permutation of the parity duplication, hence preserves distinctness, axis capacities, ancestry, and the side2n board. Displacement from twice the parent is O(H).

Delete parents within L of all block and wrap cuts, at cost O(nL/H+L). As before, every retained local parent triple lies in one translation rectangle, so its mixed-branch determinant is one of the already screened values from Section2. Same-branch determinants equal the parent determinant. The image-guard argument also places every child triple of diameter<=L in one same-branch translation rectangle, giving the physical local promise.

Finally retain at most one parent per pi=rx-qy value of the low child. For each fixed primitive v, same-x-block or same-y-block pairs cannot collide. Other pairs collide with probability at most1/(qr), conditional on the first low child. The screened parent set depends on v but not on these new independent phases, so the expected projection deletion cost is uniformly O(m²/H²). Phase-dependent guard deletion only decreases it.

E.4. Total loss

Combining the bounds and m<=2n gives expected removed parents

O(H + nL/H + L + n²/H² + nL²/H² + nL^(3/2)/H).   (3)

With H as stated, H³>=n², H²>=nL^(3/2), and H>=L for sufficiently large n in the stated range. Hence n²/H²<=H, nL^(3/2)/H<=H, nL/H<=H, and nL²/H²<=sqrt(L)<=H. All terms in(3) are O(H). As L=o(n^(2/3)), H=o(n), proving the claim.

If 2H>n for small finite inputs, the construction can output the empty set; this is absorbed by its absolute loss bound. The asymptotic assertions use 2H<=n, which eventually holds. Neither a useful small-n numerical constant nor an attainable starting density is asserted.

The remaining missing theorem must control distant mixed/cross-patch triples. A large mean of those triples would not establish a repair lower bound. Conversely their merely being absent within radius L cannot be substituted for their absence everywhere. This is still partial transport.

E.5. Exact averaging control

rigid_patch_local_energy_control.py/json exhausts the44 primitive vectors in[8,16]^2 for the preserved29-point side16 no-three parent, at local radiusL=4. There are85localpairs, energy60, and93localtriples with total pair energy1201/6. Directly checking all32,736 descendant determinants exactly matches the six-affine-line predicate. All558 individual line counts satisfy1+H/eta. Mean dangerous local triples is131/22 and mean incident parents134/11, both below their stated bounds (the union mean bound is5641/66). Some directions have no dangerous local triple; no selection or full child construction is inferred from that observation. This is an interface verification, not a density test or an empirical estimate of the asymptotic constants.

E.6. The remaining short-pair issue

This proof treats triples whose ENTIRE parent diameter is at most L. A close pair with a distant third parent is not screened. Replacing the O(L) possible third parents in Section1 by O(n) removes the saving needed for a sublinear alteration bound. That failed estimate is not an impossibility result; it identifies the precise incidence coupling still needed before claiming protection of every triple containing a short pair.

F. Affinely spread packets: fixed directions and close-parent-pair protection

F.1. Fixed-parameter statement

Fix a finite set D of primitive unoriented normals, containing the axes; an integer L>=1; and epsilon>0. For any no-three parent P in the side-n square, m<=2n, the construction gives, for sufficiently large n, paired children Q in the exact side2n square with:

• |Q|>=2m-epsilon*n-o(n), and exactly two children per retained parent;
• displacement O(n^(9/10)) from twice each parent, distinctness, D-line caps2;
• no collinear triple containing children of two parents at distance<=L (the parents may be identical, thus including every sibling triple);
• all distinct child points at sup-distance greater than n^(1/5)/2.

The o(n), thresholds, and constants may depend on D,L,epsilon. A legitimate diagonal choice would give some L(n) tending arbitrarily slowly to infinity and loss o(n), for fixed D. It would NOT license arbitrary growing-rank matching or control three mutually distant parents in untested directions.

F.2. Fixed-size parent packets

Choose a fixed integer M sufficiently large compared with L/epsilon. Partition the integer plane into M-by-M squares using a uniformly random integer grid shift. Discard parents within L of any boundary. Expected discarded parents are O(m(L+1)/M); fix a shift with at most this loss, making the eventual lost CHILD count at most epsilon*n by the choice of M.

Any two remaining parents at sup-distance<=L lie in the same square. Each nonempty packet U has at most b<=2M parents, by the axis cap. Choose a representative p_U in the packet and write its relative shape

V_U={p-p_U:p in U} subset [-M,M]^2.

Discard packets containing a parent within a sufficiently large constant multiple of H of the board boundary, where H=ceil(n^(9/10)). This loses O_M(H)=o(n) parents: enlarging the boundary strip by M contains the entire discarded packets, and axis caps bound its occupancy. Every subsequent candidate remains inside the exact side2n board.

There are O(n) packets and only finitely many possible shapes, since M is fixed. Every packet is a no-three set.

F.3. Candidate distribution

Put K=ceil(n^(1/5)) and G=ceil(log n). Independently choose integers k,s uniformly in [K,2K], v uniformly in [H,2H]^2, and t uniformly in [-H,H]^2. Let

A_s = [[1,s],[s,1+s²]],       det(A_s)=1.

The candidate for U is

2p_U + k A_s V_U + t + {0,v}.                    (1)

Each parent gets its two corresponding points. Internal shape distortion is O_M(K³)=o(H), so displacement from twice the parent is O_M(H). The two branches are disjoint since both coordinates of v are at least H and the internal shape diameter is o(H).

Condition (k,s,v), but NOT t, on all of the following:

(i) the entire 2b-point candidate is no-three; (ii) all 2b points have DISTINCT traces in each normal of D; (iii) every cross-branch difference v+k A_s u, u in V_U-V_U, has gcd of its coordinates at most G.

These events have joint probability 1-o(1), uniformly over the finite shape set. Here are the details needed for that assertion.

For u=(a,b) !=0 in the bounded shape difference set, unimodularity implies gcd(A_s u)=gcd(a,b). If b=0, the primitive direction of A_s u has height at least s. If b!=0, its second coordinate s*a+(1+s²)b has size at least c_M s² for large s. Thus EVERY same-branch pair has primitive height at least c_M K; multiplication by k leaves that primitive height unchanged.

For w=(c,d) in D,

w dot A_s u = d*b*s²+(c*b+d*a)*s+(c*a+d*b)        (2)

is not identically zero: if db=0, checking b=0 or d=0 would otherwise force u=0 or w=0. Hence same-branch trace coincidences exclude at most two s values per pair and normal. Cross-branch trace coincidences impose affine lines on v, of probability O_D(1/H).

Each mixed-branch collinear triple imposes an affine line on v, whose lattice step has the primitive height of its same-branch pair, at least c_M K. This includes sibling triples; the constant term may be zero. Its probability is O_M(1/H²+1/(HK)). Equal-branch triples cannot be collinear because k A_s is an invertible affine map of the parent packet.

Finally, for each bounded u, the coordinates of v+k A_s u range over translated intervals of length H+1 with magnitudes O(H). A union over common divisors g>G bounds the failure probability of(iii) by

O(1/G + log(H)/H + 1/H).

There are only O_M(1) tests. This proves the 1-o(1) acceptance probability. After conditioning, t remains independent and uniform on its original square. Every candidate pair has primitive height at least c_M K: cross-branch pairs have height at least H/(2G), and same-branch pairs have the bound above. All actual pair distances exceed K for sufficiently large n, since the same-branch scale k multiplies primitive differences.

F.4. Projection-kernel estimate for fractional line loads

For a fixed primitive normal w in D, let rho(h)=Pr(w dot t=h). It has mass1 and satisfies

sum_j |rho(j+1)-rho(j)| = O_D(1/H),
sum_z rho(h-2z) = 1/2+O_D(1/H).                  (3)

The parity assertion follows because at least one component of w is odd: the expectation of (-1)^(w dot t) has absolute value at most1/(2H+1). For total variation, choose a fixed integer Bezout vector z with w dot z=1. If T=[-H,H]^2 intersect Z² and N_j counts its trace-j points, translation by z compares N_(j+1)(T) with N_j(T-z). Hence

sum_j |N_(j+1)-N_j| <= |T symmetric_difference (T-z)| = O_D(H).

Division by |T|=(2H+1)² proves(3) exactly, without a continuous-kernel approximation. For(4), rho_E(j)-rho(j) is bounded by the sum of the 2E successive absolute differences in its window; summing over all j costs at most2E times the total variation. Summing over the parity sublattice can only reduce this nonnegative error.

If rho_E(j)=max_(|e|<=E) rho(j-e), summing successive differences gives

sum_z rho_E(h-2z) <= 1/2+O_D((E+1)/H).           (4)

Each first-branch point in(1) is centered at 2p plus an error of magnitude O_M(K³). Original parent traces contain at most two points. Applying(4) with E=O_D,M(K³), uniformly in the chosen k,s, bounds the expected first- branch occupancy of ANY D-line by1+o(1). The same argument works for the second branch after fixing v and shifting the target trace by w dot v. Although packets draw v independently, their UNCONDITIONED v law is the same: linearity lets us sum their second-branch expectations under one dummy integration variable v and use that uniform shifted-trace bound. Conditioning each packet on its good event multiplies these nonnegative expectations by at most(1-o(1))^(-1). Thus the combined fractional line load is at most2+o(1), uniformly over O_D(n) relevant lines.

F.5. Fractional pair-codegrees

Represent a candidate by a packet vertex and one of two slots for each of its point/normal lines. Condition(ii) makes these physical lines distinct within each normal. Use all slot assignments with uniform weights.

Only O_D,M(H) packets can hit any one fixed D-line: their representative parents must lie in an O_D,M(H)-wide trace interval, which contains O_D,M(H) parents by the original D-cap2. This bounds the sums below.

• A packet plus a line slot has incidence probability O_D,M(1/H), because the point's independent t must hit a fixed projected trace.
• Two nonparallel physical lines fix at most one t for each choice of internal parameters and point labels. Probability is O_M(1/H²) per eligible packet, hence summed codegree O_D,M(1/H).
• For two distinct PARALLEL lines and same-branch points, their nonzero trace gap must equal k*f_s(u), with f_s given by(2). For each s at most one k in[K,2K] can do this. The independent t must also hit one line. Probability is O_D,M(1/(KH)), summed codegree O_D,M(1/K).
• For parallel lines and points in different branches, v must hit one projected trace, independently of the line condition on t. This gives O_D,M(1/H²) per eligible packet and O_D,M(1/H) after summation.
• The two slots of one physical line never occur together in an edge, by condition(ii). Two distinct packet vertices never occur together.

Conditioning multiplies bounds by at most1+o(1). Thus all weighted pair- codegrees tend to zero. The random scalar k is essential: an unchanged rigid packet can keep a pair of parallel line resources perfectly coupled.

F.6. Sparse restriction removes two-packet conflicts

Independently sample T0=ceil((log n)^3) good candidates per packet, with replacement. Keep all their slot variants. Two candidates from DIFFERENT packets are incompatible if either contains two points collinear with a point of the other, or any cross-packet point pair has sup-distance<=K.

Fix the first candidate. Every one of its internal pair lines has primitive height at least c_M K. After conditioning on the second candidate's internal parameters, each of its points is an independent-t translate in a square of side2H+1. Its probability of hitting that line is O_M(1/H²+1/(HK)). Its probability of lying within K of a specified first point is O(K²/H²). Union over the bounded packet sizes, and then reverse the roles for the other kind of mixed triple. Thus

Pr(two candidates incompatible)
   = O_M(1/(HK)+K²/H²).

The expected number of incompatible sampled pairs is

O_M(n² T0²/(HK)+n² T0² K²/H²)
   = O_M(n^(9/10)(log n)^6+n^(3/5)(log n)^6)=o(n). (5)

With probability tending to1, their number is o(n), by Markov using a slightly larger sublinear threshold. Delete EVERY packet incident to one of them. Only o(n) parents are lost because packets have bounded size. Crucially, every surviving packet keeps ALL T0 of its sampled candidates. ANY subsequent choice of at most one candidate per surviving packet now has no triple meeting exactly two packets, and no cross-packet pair within K. Internal candidates are already no-three and have pair distances>K.

F.7. Concentration of the fractional resource loads

Before deleting packets, each physical D-line has at most(2+o(1))T0 expected sampled incidences by Section F.4. Each candidate contributes at most one incidence, by(ii). Independent sampling and Chernoff, with delta=(log n)^(-1/2), give simultaneous loads at most(2+O(delta))T0 on all O_D(n) physical lines, with probability tending to1. The deterministic kernel error and good-event conditioning are o(delta).

For any pair of distinct resources, Section F.5 bounds the expected sampled candidate incidence by O_D,M(T0/K)+O_D,M(T0/H)=o(1). Binomial upper tails, and a union over O_D(n²) pairs, bound every such count by O_D,M(log n) simultaneously. Packet/line pairs obey the same conclusion. Repeated sampled candidates cause no problem: the samples are independent, and identical hyperedges can later be merged by adding their weights.

Packet deletion only decreases line degrees and pair-codegrees. Give each surviving candidate total weight lambda/T0, where lambda=1/(1+C delta), with C sufficiently large, and distribute it uniformly over all its slot variants. Every packet has fractional degree exactly lambda=1-o(1), every line slot degree at most1, and every distinct resource pair codegree O_D,M(log n/T0)=o(1).

F.8. Uniform rank without private padding resources

A real edge at a b-parent packet currently has size s_b=1+2b|D|. Let r=1+4M|D|, a FIXED integer. Introduce a common padding pool of

Z=4rn+r

new vertices. For every real slot edge of size s_b, extend it by every (r-s_b)-subset of this pool, sharing its weight uniformly across these extensions. Size-r edges need no padding. Original resource degrees and codegrees are unchanged. Every padding vertex has degree at most

(r-1)*(number of packets)/Z <= 1/2.

An original-resource/padding codegree is O_r(1/n), and a two-padding codegree is O_r(1/n), by uniform subset counting and the total O(n) real edge weight. The common pool is essential: private padding vertices tied permanently to a packet would instead have codegree near1 with that packet.

There are now O_D,M(n) vertices, all degrees at most1, with pair-codegrees o(1), and all edges have fixed size r.

F.9. Perfect fractional completion and integral matching

For every surviving packet vertex p, let h_p=1-lambda=o(1), and F=sum h_p=o(n). Make a small pool of

Z0=max(r,ceil(2(r-1)F),ceil(sqrt(n)))=o(n)

vertices. Fill each packet's deficit using all edges {p} union S, where S ranges over its (r-1)-subsets, with weight h_p/binom(Z0,r-1). This fills packet degrees to1, gives small-pool vertices degree at most1/2, and adds pair-codegrees O_r(1/Z0)=o(1). Any integral edge covering a packet this way must consume a vertex of the small pool; hence at most Z0 packets can use such nonreal edges in a matching.

All remaining deficiencies belong to line slots, the padding pool, and the small pool. With N0 their total current vertex count, introduce a large pool of Z1=(r-1)N0+r vertices. For each old deficient vertex v, give every edge {v} union S, |S|=r-1 in the large pool, weight (1-d_v)/binom(Z1,r-1). Every large-pool vertex receives the same degree less than1. Fill its remaining degree uniformly with all r-subsets of the large pool. This is a fractional perfect matching on O_D,M(n) vertices; new pair-codegrees are O_D,M(1/n). No new edge in this step touches a packet.

Apply the SAME fixed-rank fractional-perfect-matching theorem imported through [1, Section F.4], attributed there to [2], as in Section B. It supplies a matching missing o(n) vertices. All but o(n) packet vertices therefore use real edges: unmatched packets are o(n), and packets covered nonreally are at most Z0=o(n). Each packet has at most2M parents, so only o(n) additional parents are lost.

Disjoint line slots give D-line caps2. The real packet choices are a subset of the previously screened candidates, so all point pairs are farther than K, every internal packet is no-three, and no triple uses points from exactly two packets. Each retained parent contributes exactly two labelled children. Any close parent pair belongs to one packet by Section F.2, proving the stated close-parent-pair guarantee even with a distant third parent.

F.10. Quantifiers and what remains unresolved

First fix D,L,epsilon and hence M,r. Only then take n large. The initial grid guards lose at most epsilon*n child points; boundary, sparse-conflict, and matching losses are o(n). This gives the fixed-parameter statement. Every object is finite: rejection sampling of good candidates, all slot and padding variants, and exhaustive maximum matching define an existence generator, though this is not an efficient algorithm or an effective finite starting threshold.

For the qualitative diagonal version, take epsilon_j=1/j and L_j=j. For each j the fixed-parameter theorem has a threshold N_j beyond which all other losses are at most n/j. Increase N_j further to make the shape-dependent O_M(K³) distortion at most H and every other fixed-shape threshold valid. Choosing j(n) tending to infinity sufficiently slowly then gives total loss o(n), displacement at most an absolute multiple of n^(9/10), and protection for parent distances L_(j(n)) tending to infinity. This is a diagonal consequence of individually FIXED-rank theorems, not a uniform growing-rank application. No explicit growth rate for L_(j(n)) has been proved.

The unresolved triples use points from THREE distinct packets, whose parent pairs are all farther than L apart, in untested directions. The argument does not control their number, covering cost, or eliminability. It therefore supplies no full no-three recurrence and no asymptotic density improvement. It is intended to connect the fixed-D resource method to a genuine close-parent-pair guarantee; that compatibility claim has now received an independent analytic audit and actual controller rerun.

F.11. Exact interface controls

affine_packet_transport_control.py/json uses one explicit four-point no-three packet and standard-library integer/rational arithmetic. It checks486 shear/scale primitive-height identities and36 projected-gap families. The unchanged horizontal projection has atom1 without the random scalar, and maximum atom1/9 with k uniform in[8,16], exhibiting the resource-dependence repair rather than assuming it.

Six exact square-projection distributions verify the Bezout total- variation bound, parity sum, and finite-shift envelope inequality. A bounded rejection-sampler control accepts16 actual eight-point candidates in26 draws; ten draws fail the cross-branch gcd condition. All accepted sets are checked for no-three, distinct D traces, and primitive/actual pair separation. This is not a density search or a full transport witness. Finally121 enumerated padding variants independently reproduce the fractional-degree and pair-codegree formulas with rational arithmetic. No finite controller verifies the asymptotic matching theorem or its ineffective thresholds; that import retains the scope stated above.

F.12. Canonical reset: only the parent's D-caps are necessary

The no-three hypothesis on the original parent in F.1 can be dropped. This extension was independently audited by lattice_lift_research together with the consolidated manuscript on 8 October2026. It changes the packet's internal template, while retaining every claimed ancestry and close-parent-pair property.

For a guarded packet of $b\le2M$ actual parents, order them lexicographically as $p_0,\ldots,p_{b-1}$ and assign the fixed labelled shape

Its diameter is $O(M^2)$ and its three-point determinant is $(j-i)(k-i)(k-j)\ne0$. Use candidates

Relative to the actual assigned parent, the internal centering error is

Thus the kernel comparison still sums the ACTUAL parent traces, each occupied at most twice, and every child remains within $O(H)$ of twice its own parent. This is not a reassignment of ancestry after construction.

All other shape-dependent estimates require only a bounded, no-three template: the Vandermonde identity supplies internal noncollinearity, unimodularity supplies the primitive-height bounds after an $M$-dependent threshold, and the scalar supplies projected-gap anti-concentration. For the gcd bound one conditions on fixed $(k,s)$ first, leaving the coordinates of $v$ uniform in intervals of length $H+1$. The template set remains finite; every acceptance, codegree, screening, and padding argument applies with new fixed-$M$ constants. Eligible anchors are still actual parents. Close-parent membership is determined by the ORIGINAL guarded partition, hence the distant-third protection is unchanged.

Consequently F holds for arbitrary fixed-D-capped parents, with the same fixed-parameter and diagonal quantifiers. If a parent is no-three, either its own shapes or the canonical shapes may be used. This stronger universality also identifies a limitation: the canonical proof retains no global no-three information from the parent. Three distant packets still require a new control mechanism; no all-direction recurrence follows.

The elementary convex-order statement C follows from one-dimensional convexity; no novelty is claimed for the general majorization principle. Its use here is an exact necessary condition on physical midpoint-preserving descendants. The failed finite test is closed, not a reason for another radius or budget sweep.

The following six standalone standard-library controllers reproduce the finite checks. They contain the actual preserved input points and do not require private files, OR-Tools, or a network connection. The original paired feasibility test used CP-SAT, but its infeasibility is proved and independently checked by the axis-only certificate below.
