Class Preservation and Charge Monotonicity

Abstract

Tight legal palindrome cuts preserve class S and do not increase the literal signed-digit charge.

Theorem 1.1 (The tight-cut transition law).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S1/Words/Palindromes/PeriodDoubling/TightCutCharge.tight_cut_class_and_Q (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

A cut is tight when the minimum signed weight of the rounded half drops by exactly one. Complete path realization gives an accepting base path. The class-escape potential bound zero excludes the invalid-output mode, since its f charge is one. In the valid-output mode the q+3f bound with terminal phase gives Q(j)≤Q(n). The path’s output signed expansion has the literal rounded-half value and class spacing; equal-length zero padding and nonadjacent uniqueness identify it with the triple-binary expansion defining class S. div denotes natural integer quotient, and Nat.sub denotes truncated natural subtraction.
