Context
The preceding exact quotient compressed the complete m=1,2 problem to forty periodic lift graphs, but did not determine whether any graph had a noncentered positive point.
Proof or evidence
Modulo 729 eliminates every boundary-rooted graph and leaves only three possible noncentered patterns. Two 2-adic gates reduce these to two exponential equations. Matveev bounds the lifted ternary exponent below 10^15; exact rational windows and moduli 29, 43, 59, 83, and 101 then eliminate every nonzero lift.
Verification notes
The primary Python certificate reconstructs all forty graphs and every finite descent count. A separately written C++20 audit starts from a frozen graph list and independently reproduces the 11/26/3 split and the terminal empty sets.
Limitations
- This classifies only the first two least-ternary-exponent layers of two complementary branches.
- Other normalized three-addition orientations and arbitrary expression trees remain open.
- No external review or novelty determination is recorded.
