# jam1_markov_wall.py — instrument for THE FIRST JAM, line 5. # Question on the sheet (Grok, line 4): could survival statistics at # extreme depth depend on the historical sequence of branch events, # re-admitting biography through the back door? # Test: is the entire child-residue sequence of a doubling ray a pure # function of a FINITE residue of its base? If yes, the tree unfolds # from a finite deterministic automaton on residues: conditioned on # the current state, the past carries zero further information at any # depth, and the Markov wall stands. # # Ray of odd base m (m not divisible by 3): values m*2^k.
