"""THE NINE-SPOKE WHEEL - instrument (2026-07-22, second walk).
Claims: (1) mod 54, multiplication by 4 sends the nine fertile branch
classes {4,16,10,40,52,46,22,34,28} around ONE 9-cycle (ord_27(4)=9);
(2) therefore every fertile ray, per nine consecutive branches, births
odd children covering ALL SIX fertile seed classes mod 18 exactly once
(plus three steriles) - per-ray equidistribution of the next
generation's entry classes is FORCED by rotation."""
