Every possible occurrence lies in a live child or has been ruled out. The predicate is abstract so both ordinary leaves and references carrying uniformity evidence use the same sweep coverage proof.
Instances For
A child proved to have no matching occurrence advances the sweep.
A descending filter preserves absence coverage through arbitrarily many earlier filters. Equality here is equality of occurrence propositions, so it retains the target hints as well as the complete leaf key.
An earlier original child has no occurrence, including when an older filter removed it from the current target set.
A checked carrier transfers absence from a reference child to the current child. The carrier belongs to the frozen cell stabilizer.
A carrier to an earlier reference discharges the current child using the ranked coverage invariant, without claiming exhaustive search.
A checked cell stabilizer transports the entire reference occurrence through a pruning step. It need not belong to the emitted generator list.
The off-path long-prune ledger preserves every sought reference.
The off-path short-prune ledger preserves every sought reference, including when the last pair is implicit.
Exhausting a sweep with no matching visited child rules out every matching child of the original target window.
