Context
The invariant is stronger than the previously established sign condition and applies at arbitrary unprimed depth.
Hypotheses and scope
- Finite directed acyclic network.
- Unprimed topplers start in state zero; no hidden constant or preload source.
- Aggregate input-count semantics only.
Proof or evidence
Coordinates are additive; addition preserves superadditivity; and . Structural induction proves the claim.
Verification notes
The full Run 8 proof and its stated model boundaries were checked. Shared subcircuits do not alter the computed function, so treeification does not change this structural induction.
Limitations
- No statement is made about trace order, timing, queues, odometers, feedback networks, or primed gates.
- No novelty claim is made.
