Uniform Block Bounds from Complete Prefixes
Abstract
Geometric hard-core memory, exact path semantics and integer certificates.
Theorem 1.1 (Complete paths are covered by truncated memory).
Lean statement: D5/S3/StatisticalMechanics/HardCore/MemoryBlockBounds.complete_count_le_memory
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/StatisticalMechanics/HardCore/MemoryBlockBounds.complete_count_le_memory (✓ std3). ∎

Commentary.
For every depth and common history-based policy, inclusion of initial blockers gives an upper bound on complete-process counts by truncated-memory counts.
Theorem 1.2 (A complete prefix bounds every later depth).
Lean statement: D5/S3/StatisticalMechanics/HardCore/MemoryBlockBounds.fixed_order_block_bound
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/StatisticalMechanics/HardCore/MemoryBlockBounds.fixed_order_block_bound (✓ std3). ∎
Source. Repository-derived.
Commentary.
Fix one relative ordering. For r at least k and at least one, every initial blocker set containing the parent satisfies the explicit bound at depth q times k plus s. Its coefficient is the actual complete depth-k root count raised to q, times three raised to s. Parent retention, uniform continuation domination and finite-horizon exactness supply the proof. The theory derives fixed-order growth-rate completeness from this bound; the limit theorem is not separately elaborated here.
