Exact Odd-Palindrome Radii
Abstract
Every scale and every positive center has a complete reflection test.

Commentary.
The center is the positive one-based index 2^r u, with odd u. The tested radius is strictly below the center, so every left index remains positive. For u=1 all available reflections agree. Otherwise the first disagreement is at q=2^r when the maximum adjacent valuation is even, and at 3q when it is odd. The word uses zero-based indexing, hence the subtraction of one from both positive endpoints. Natural subtraction is truncated, and mod is natural remainder.
