A code-supported witness names the same ancestor after the current path is truncated, provided the ancestor's child code is retained.
A completed call retains a settled comparison on an extension of its incoming code path. The receiving ancestor truncates that extension.
The last compared path retains every incoming refinement code.
Instances For
A stable comparison already supplies a return at its own code path.
The actual discrete leaf action supplies a settled return and its exact local maximum.
The actual nonterminal code rejection supplies a settled return and retains its incumbent.
Every terminal classification returns settled machines and preserves or increases the incumbent, including rejection before a discrete leaf.
A deeper call's code receipt also retains every prefix of its entry path.
Every completed comparison exposes its ghost incumbent in executable storage.
Completed comparisons are nonpositive, including a rejection by rows after a code tie.
Return bookkeeping preserves the complete comparison receipt.
Removing a temporary fixed point changes no comparison or saved key.
Completing a node's symmetry counter preserves its returned comparison.
Recovery reconstructs both comparison machines at the receiving ancestor's exact code path, however deep the return originated.
Recovery supplies a settled receipt at the shortened path for the next sibling.
