What changed in v5

From an existence certificate to an exact executable law
The inherited work described how much useful submass could survive source domination and several geometric readout constraints, especially at exponential-rate scale. Version 5 identifies a whole finite regime in which the answer is exact at every depth, independent of which surjective letterwise readouts are selected. It also emits histories from the optimal retained distribution without repeatedly proposing and discarding complete histories.
For the source (7,4,4,1)/16, count occurrences of the fourth symbol. If the required expected count is an integer m >= ceil(n/4), then
M(n,m) = sum_{j=m}^n (j-m+1) binom(n,j) (1/16)^j (15/16)^(n-j).
This solves the finite maximization with the original two coordinate readouts and, more strongly, all 14 nontrivial readout partitions simultaneously. The result also holds on a sufficient parameter region around the fixture, described by explicit inequalities. The stored examples include two perturbed source distributions.
Why the geometric constraints stop affecting the optimum
The source-only optimal rule retains every history with count at least m, a specific fraction of histories with count m-1, and nothing below. An exponential envelope bounds that rule by 5^(J-m). Pushing this envelope through each readout yields a finite quadratic energy certificate. An extremal partition calculation bounds all surjective readouts at once.
The worst one-letter tilted collision factors for 2, 3, and 4 output labels are exactly 17/8, 33/16, and 53/32. Consequently every readout energy is bounded above by
5^(-2m) (17/8)^n <= (83521/102400)^m < 1.
The scalar source-only upper bound is therefore attained even after every readout constraint is imposed. This is why the exact formula is an optimum rather than another feasible construction. The assertion concerns the submeasure's absolute density energy; it does not prove that the normalized retained shape is uniformly spread.
The exponential barrier is real, but conditional generation uses different access
At 128 steps, the optimal retained mass is approximately 1.3534573936e-11. Any procedure restricted to drawing independent complete source histories, inspecting them, and returning one inspected history with sufficient expected utility needs at least 73.8849 billion source histories in expectation.
A finite-horizon conditional generator can instead write the target history one symbol at a time, using exact backward probabilities. In the measured experiment it emitted length-128 histories in approximately 11.28 milliseconds each after approximately 0.287 seconds of preprocessing, and consumed 250.69 pseudorandom bits per history on average. These timings describe this Python/container experiment only. No huge rejection baseline was executed.
This is an access-model separation, not the discovery of free rare events. It is relevant only when a simulator or proposal process is known and genuinely controllable. It does not turn an uncontrollable external event into an available update.
What the sharper asymptotic tells us
Along n=4m,
M(n,n/4) ~ 1.4395589561 n^(-1/2) exp(-0.1792159268 n).
The earlier exponential rate is retained, while the new result gives the leading square-root correction and its constant. It also shows that the normalized optimal law puts an asymptotic fraction 1/5 of histories just below the individual target, at count m-1. Expected utility must not be advertised as a guarantee on every emitted history.
Beyond independent symbols
For a positive Markov source, the package computes the useful-count law by exact dynamic programming and each tilted collision by a synchronized pair recursion. At depth 32, with transition matrix P_ab=(31/32)p_b+(1/32)1[a=b], the original coordinate-constrained optimum is exactly certified at approximately 0.00127238965923. This memory example does not establish the all-readout IID theorem for arbitrary Markov sources.
Outside the scalar-collapse regime, a numerical candidate finder and a separate exact rational verifier give certified finite capacity intervals. The 32-step coordinate problem at required frequency 1/10 has 6,545 type variables in place of 4^32 history variables. Its delivered relative certificate gap is approximately 2.87504e-6, or 0.000287504%.
Scientific status
The declared finite model is substantially more complete and executable than in v4. The contribution is the exact readout-universal capacity regime, its quantitative consequences, and its certified compilation into generation. Conditioning, rejection lower bounds, interval sampling, tensor collision calculations, convex duality, and empirical-type reduction are established tools, not newly invented fields.
The package contains full mathematical proofs and 18,004 passing exact assertion executions, but no independent referee report or formal proof-assistant development. No neural-training or real recursive self-improvement benchmark has been performed. No named longstanding open conjecture is claimed solved.
