| FPRD-T139For every , the prefixes induce distinct exact horizon- seam maps. Thus an interface naming the complete map on every suffix guard needs at least bits, while slope and intercept use bits; exact seam-profile demand is . | Theorem · exact resource boundProved for the explicitly defined exact-profile interface; internally audited | Evidence and limits → | Number theory and discrete dynamicsGuarded-affine trace dynamics | Exact seam-profile demand proof | FPRD-D38; FPRD-T138 | Guarded-affine trace dynamics proof packageReviewed 2026-08-27No documented external or specialist review of this FPRD result is recorded. | Keep this exact-interface bound separate from recognition lower bounds; seek a closer comparator for the profile-count formulation. |

| FPRD-FAIL-COLLATZ-LF7The marginal cap records how many guard slots and fixed-weight tails exist, but not which tail occupies which slot or its actual disorder; it is therefore insufficient by itself to resolve the forced-continuation frontier. | Failed abstraction · limitationSubstantiated as a limitation; the replacement joint statistic remains open | Evidence and limits → | Number theory and discrete dynamicsGuarded-affine trace dynamics | Why the marginal cap loses the matching | FPRD-T143; FPRD-FAIL-COLLATZ-LF5; FPRD-C03 | Collatz post-freeze failure ledger · LF7Reviewed 2026-08-27No documented external or specialist review of this FPRD result is recorded. | Track the joint assignment of exact guards to actual forced suffix deficits. |
| FPRD-FAIL-COLLATZ-LF8The strongest preserved candidate estimate remains exponential, ; none of the guarded-affine, marginal-capacity, or forced-family results proves finiteness of paradoxical sequences, Terras's conjecture, or the Collatz conjecture. | Nonclaim · scope boundaryExplicitly established as the program boundary | Evidence and limits → | Number theory and discrete dynamicsGuarded-affine trace dynamics | Explicit no-Collatz boundary | FPRD-T142; FPRD-T143; FPRD-FAIL-COLLATZ-LF5; FPRD-C03 | Collatz post-freeze failure ledger · LF8Reviewed 2026-08-27No documented external or specialist review of this FPRD result is recorded. | Preserve dormancy unless a concrete joint guard–disorder lemma, exact counterfamily, or external audit reopens the route. |
