The prepared state of an off-path node: refinement followed by the comparison step, before any target selection.
With the first-path agreement broken under a negative comparison, an internal node prunes at once and returns the leaf event's result.
A negative comparison whose hinted target disagrees with the first path demotes the agreement depth and prunes at once.
A negative comparison whose hinted target agrees with the first path enters its child loop over that target cell with the comparison still frozen.
Off-path bookkeeping never rewrites the first leaf, keeps the orbit array sound, and lowers the saved cheap-cell boundary only to a value it already had on entry.
- boundary : out.noncheaplevel < level → out.noncheaplevel = st.noncheaplevel
Instances For
Lowering the first-path agreement depth preserves the prepared state.
The frozen-downward arm of processnode, at any cell count, yields
the packaged event with the incumbent unchanged.
The return of the frozen-downward arm lies strictly below the node whenever the saved boundary does not exceed it.
With the comparison frozen downward at the refined code, every key of the node's specification subtree is dominated by the incumbent.
An internal off-path node whose prepared state prunes at once through the frozen-downward arm: its exact maximum is the unchanged incumbent, and its return is either a frozen comparison or a cheap-cell jump.
The prepared state of an off-path node keeps every field the immediate-prune packaging reads.
The broken-agreement negative branch of an internal node.
The mismatched-hint negative branch of an internal node.
Every frozen offset carrying the selected vertex has the key of the executable child built from it.
The guide relation depends only on the guide controls and the two reference labellings.
A completed or early-returning off-path child of a sweep keeps the guide relation to the sweep's frozen entry.
Recovery to the sweep level keeps the guide relation once the sweep entry's canonical control is at most the sweep level.
A sweep frame with a live target cell has an open position.
The small-cell descent invariant at the frozen frame transports to the individualized child of the current recovered state.
A small-cell subtree fact at the frozen frame, in the form the sibling-sweep bound identification consumes.
Facts a first-path node preserves or establishes beyond its packaged run.
- coset : st.cosetindex < n → out.cosetindex < n
- boundary : out.noncheaplevel < level → out.noncheaplevel = st.noncheaplevel
Instances For
Totality of one off-path node at a fixed executable recursion fuel. Off-path nodes are never the root, so the level is at least two.

Instances For
The strict node-fuel invariant rules out the zero-fuel off-path branch before any operational case analysis is needed.
The same strict bound rules out zero executable fuel on the initial descent.
