PROGRAM:
arrayOp(A, n, h):
y = 0
for i = 0 to n-1:
if h: y += 2 * A[i]
else: y += A[i]
if !h: y = 2 * y
return y
pre: A1 = A2, n1 = n2 (same array, same size; h is secret)
post: y1_final = y2_final
SPECIALIZED: h1 = F, h2 = T
Run 1 (h=F): y += 1 * A[i] for i in 0..n-1, THEN y = 2*y
Run 2 (h=T): y += 2 * A[i] for i in 0..n-1, no doubling
Run 1 final = 2 * sum(A).
Run 2 final = 2 * sum(A).
TI-NI: equal final values, property holds.
The two runs use different multipliers (1 vs 2) inside the loop, and
only run 1 has the post-loop doubling. This is the NON-TRIVIAL case
where PCSAT must discover the invariant y2 = 2*y1.
CELL MORPHING:
Distinguished cell k with value ak = A[k] (same A for both runs).
Both loops run n steps — lockstep (same indices).
At each index i:
HIT (i = k):
Run 1: y1 += 1 * ak (h=F uses multiplier 1)
Run 2: y2 += 2 * ak (h=T uses multiplier 2)
y2' = y2 + 2*ak = 2*y1 + 2*ak = 2*(y1+ak) = 2*y1' ✓
MISS (i != k): both see the same unknown value v = A[i]
Run 1: y1 += 1 * v -> y1' = y1 + v
Run 2: y2 += 2 * v -> y2' = y2 + 2*v = 2*y1 + 2*v = 2*(y1+v) = 2*y1'
-> y2' = 2*y1' is preserved at every MISS step
INVARIANT: y2 = 2*y1 (maintained throughout the loop)
Proof:
Init: y1 = 0, y2 = 0 -> y2 = 2*y1 = 0 ✓
HIT step: y1' = y1+ak -> y2' = 2*y1' ✓ (shown above)
MISS step: y2' = 2*y1' -> y2' = 2*y1' ✓ (by clause constraint)
AT TERMINATION (i = n):
Invariant gives: y2 = 2*y1
Run 1 doubles: y1_out = 2*y1
Run 2 no-op: y2_out = y2 = 2*y1
-> y1_out = 2*y1 = y2_out ✓
COMPARISON WITH SCALAR CAV 2021:
Scalar hFT: doubleSquare computes y = z_init * x.
Run 1 (h=F): z_init=x, loop x times, y1=x^2, then 2*y1=2*x^2.
Run 2 (h=T): z_init=2x, loop 2x times, y2=2*x^2.
CAV 2021 proof uses 2:1 ASYNC scheduler to get invariant y2=2*y1.
(Requires z2=2*z1 to be discovered; hard case, 17.8s solver time.)
Array hFT: arrayOp computes y = mult * sum(A).
Run 1 (h=F): mult=1, doubles at end. y1_out = 2*sum(A).
Run 2 (h=T): mult=2, no doubling. y2_out = 2*sum(A).
Our proof uses LOCKSTEP (both n steps). Invariant y2=2*y1 still discovered.
Key NEW insight: MISS step works because BOTH runs access the SAME A[i],
so even though the value v is unknown, run 2 always adds EXACTLY 2*v
when run 1 adds v. Cell morphing makes this explicit via the HIT/MISS split.

CHC "run 2" (y2, ak2) = physical run A (h=T, mult=2, no doubling)
This swap is valid because TI-NI is symmetric across runs. It makes the
invariant take the form |y2 - 2*y1| <= 2*i*eps — IDENTICAL to hFT —
so PCSAT's template search finds it at the same speed.
Without this swap, the invariant would be |y1 - 2*y2|, which lies in a
slower part of PCSAT's search order (empirically: hFT solves in ~6s,
the naive hTF encoding takes >4 minutes).

=============================================================================
ArrayInsert — Insertion Point Monotonicity (Sync + Correlated MISS)
=============================================================================
PROGRAM:
arrayInsert(int[] A, int n, int h):
i = 0
while (i < n && A[i] < h) i++ // Phase 1: find insertion point
return i // (Phase 2 omitted — we care about p, not final i)
PROPERTY:
h1 <= h2 AND A1 == A2
==> p1 <= p2
where pj = insertion point = first index where A[i] >= hj
"Larger threshold h means later (or equal) insertion point."
This is a genuinely NEW property not in the CAV 2021 benchmark set.
It REQUIRES cell morphing + MISS correlation to verify.
WHY IT HOLDS:
At any position i, both runs see the same A[i] (shared array).
- A[i] < h1 (≤ h2): both continue.
- h1 ≤ A[i] < h2: run 1 exits, run 2 continues. p1 = i < p2. ✓
- A[i] ≥ h2 (≥ h1): both exit at same position. p1 = p2. ✓
The IMPOSSIBLE case: A[i] ≥ h2 but A[i] < h1.
Requires h2 ≤ A[i] < h1, i.e., h2 < h1. Contradicts h1 ≤ h2.
So run 2 CANNOT exit before run 1.
ENCODING AS INVARIANT:
In the sync model (shared counter i), the property becomes:
b1 implies b2 (equivalently: !b1 or b2)
"If run 1 is still searching (Phase 1), run 2 is also still searching."
Contrapositive: "If run 2 has found its point, run 1 has also found its."
WHY THIS NEEDS CORRELATED MISS (Approach B):
At MISS (i ≠ k), pure nondeterminism (Approach A) allows ALL four
combinations of (b1', b2'):
(T, T) — both continue VALID
(F, T) — run 1 exits, 2 stays VALID (h1 ≤ A[i] < h2)
(F, F) — both exit VALID (A[i] ≥ h2 ≥ h1)
(T, F) — run 1 stays, 2 exits IMPOSSIBLE! (requires h2 < h1)
Without correlation: PCSAT sees all 4 → b1→b2 is NOT invariant → FAILS.
With correlation: Rule out (T,F) via !b1' or b2' → PCSAT verifies. ✓
This is the FIRST encoding where Approach B (correlated MISS) is
STRICTLY NECESSARY — Approach A cannot prove this property.
CELL MORPHING AT HIT (i = k):
At HIT, the comparison is deterministic:
ak < h1 ≤ h2: b1' = T, b2' = T → !b1' or b2' = T ✓ (automatic)
h1 ≤ ak < h2: b1' = F, b2' = T → !b1' or b2' = T ✓ (automatic)
ak ≥ h2 ≥ h1: b1' = F, b2' = F → !b1' or b2' = T ✓ (automatic)
The correlation constraint is REDUNDANT at HIT — the specific ak value
already enforces monotonicity. Correlation only constrains MISS.

=============================================================================
ArrayRangeSum — Cell Morphing Version (Delta Formulation)
=============================================================================
ORIGINAL PROGRAM (CAV 2021 — SquareSum, scalar):
squaresSum(int a, int b) {
assume(0 < a < b);
int c = 0;
while (a < b) { c += a*a; a++; }
return c;
}
pre(a1 < a2 && b2 < b1)
post(c2 < c1)
The original sums squares of loop counters. No arrays. The accumulated
value a*a is a deterministic function of the position — PCSAT can reason
about it directly. Solved in 337.6s (with hint).
ARRAY VERSION (this encoding):
arrayRangeSum(int[] A, int a, int b) {
assume(0 < a < b);
assume(forall i. A[i] >= 1);
int c = 0;
while (a < b) { c += A[a]; a++; }
return c;
}
pre(A1 == A2 && a1 < a2 && b2 < b1)
post(c2 < c1)
Replaces a*a with A[a] — the accumulated value now comes from the array.
PCSAT cannot see array values directly, so we use cell morphing.
WHY THE PROPERTY HOLDS:
Run 1's range [a1, b1) strictly contains run 2's range [a2, b2).
Run 1: [a1 ..................... b1)
Run 2: [a2 ......... b2)
Three regions:
[a1, a2): only run 1 adds — positive values, d grows
[a2, b2): both add same A[i] — d unchanged (correlation!)
[b2, b1): only run 1 adds — positive values, d grows
At termination: d >= (a2-a1) + (b1-b2) >= 2 > 0. ✓
DELTA FORMULATION:
Instead of tracking c1 and c2 separately, we track d = c1 - c2 directly.
This is the KEY DESIGN CHOICE that makes the encoding work:
1. Over the OVERLAP [a2, b2): both runs add the same A[i], so the delta
is unchanged: d' = d. No HIT/MISS distinction needed here!
(Both add ak at HIT, both add unknown v at MISS — either way, d' = d.)
2. Over EXCLUSIVE ranges [a1,a2) and [b2,b1): only run 1 adds.
HIT: d' = d + ak (exact known increment)
MISS: d' >= d + 1 (unknown positive increment, at least 1)
3. Outside all ranges [0, a1): nothing happens, d' = d.
The correlation at overlapping positions becomes IMPLICIT in the delta —
no CmpRes predicate, no Wit, no shared-value constraint needed.
CELL MORPHING:
Since A1 == A2 (same array), we use shared (k, ak) — not (k, ak1, ak2, bk).
ak = A[k] is the known value at the distinguished cell.
ak >= 1 (all array elements are positive).
HIT/MISS only matters at exclusive-range positions:
HIT (i = k): delta grows by exactly ak
MISS (i ≠ k): delta grows by at least 1
STATE: i, a1, b1, a2, b2, d, k, ak (8 integer variables)
Compare: original SquareSum had 6 variables (a1, b1, c1, a2, b2, c2).
We replaced c1, c2 with d (+0 net) and added k, ak (+2).
MODEL: Synchronized (single counter i, no scheduler)
Both runs process each position together. The scheduler from the original
(SchTF, SchFT, SchTT + fairness = 8 clauses) is completely eliminated.
This is possible because both runs iterate the same positions 0..b1-1,
just with different accumulation conditions.
CLAUSES: 3 (init, transition, goal)
Compare: original SquareSum had 8 clauses (init, TF, FT, TT, 2 fairness,
scheduler disjunction, goal). Massive simplification from sync + delta.
EXPECTED RESULT: SAT (d > 0 at all terminal states = c1 > c2 = verified)
NOTE: The original SquareSum needed a hint (a1 > 0, b2 < b1) for PCSAT
to solve in reasonable time (337.6s with hint). Our encoding may also need
hints. If so, try: a1 < a2, b2 < b1 :- Inv(...). These are trivially
invariant since a1, a2, b1, b2 are constant parameters (never modified).

PROPERTY: Commutativity (Swap Invariance)
Swapping two elements does not change the sum.
Formally: Let A' be A with positions j and k swapped:
A'[j] = A[k], A'[k] = A[j], A'[i] = A[i] for i != j,k
Then: ArraySum(A) = ArraySum(A')
================================================================================
WHY THIS IS A NEW ENCODING PATTERN
================================================================================
Previous encodings: two runs on DIFFERENT inputs, same processing order.
Robustness: A1[i] ~= A2[i] (perturbed values)
Sensitivity: A1 differs from A2 at one position
Monotonicity: A1[i] <= A2[i] (ordered values)
This encoding: two runs on inputs differing by a SWAP.
Run 1: ..., A[j]=vj, ..., A[k]=vk, ...
Run 2: ..., A[j]=vk, ..., A[k]=vj, ... (swapped!)
Other positions: identical in both runs.
NEW FEATURES:
1. TWO distinguished cells (j and k) instead of one
2. HIT fires TWICE per run (once at j, once at k)
3. MISS preserves the difference (same value added to both runs)
4. Postcondition is EQUALITY (s1 = s2), not inequality
================================================================================
ENCODING: SYNCHRONIZED MODEL
================================================================================
State: i, j, k, vj, vk, s1, s2, n (8 variables, no booleans, no epsilon)
TWO DISTINGUISHED CELLS:
- Position j with value vj (in run 1) / vk (in run 2)
- Position k with value vk (in run 1) / vj (in run 2)
HIT-j (i = j): Run 1 adds vj, Run 2 adds vk
HIT-k (i = k): Run 1 adds vk, Run 2 adds vj
MISS (i != j, i != k): Both runs add the SAME unknown value
After both HITs: run 1 added (vj + vk), run 2 added (vk + vj) = same total.
MISS steps: identical contributions. Therefore s1 = s2 at termination.
*)
(*
CELL MORPHING NOTE: Shared Array Pattern — (k, ak)
Both runs use the SAME array (A1 = A2), so bk = 1 trivially.
We track single cell value ak = A[k] instead of (ak1, ak2, bk).
Commutativity uses TWO distinguished cells (j, k) with values (vj, vk).
Run 1 sees A[j]=vj, A[k]=vk; Run 2 sees A[j]=vk, A[k]=vj (swapped).
The shared array is modified only at these two positions.
This IS relational cell morphing: two runs are compared,
and the solver needs ak to reason about data-dependent behavior.
See encodings/CELL_MORPHING_PATTERNS.md for the full pattern taxonomy.

VERSION D: Fixed-k baseline — NO PickK, standard cell morphing
PURPOSE: Show the structural ceiling of fixed-k (no prophecy) for
CountPositive relational cost.
The UNCONDITIONAL bound provable without prophecy is the trivial
loop bound: cost1 - cost2 <= n. No cell morphing needed.
To get a tighter bound c <= n - 1, we must CONDITION on the
tracked cell being a shared (equal) index:
c <= n - 1 GIVEN a1[k] = a2[k] (i.e. bk = 1)
This is expressed by adding `bk = 1` to the goal clause body,
NOT by restricting the init disjunction. Under forall-k semantics
(CHC clauses are outer-universally-closed, cell morphing paper
Def. 1), restricting init to bk=1 would collapse the concretized
input-array set to pointwise-equal arrays, trivializing the theorem.
Compare with the PickK version in
`encodings/level-2/demo2a_countpositive_pickk_sync.clp`, which
guards the goal by d >= d0 and proves c <= n - d0 for ANY count d0
of shared positions. PickK's advantage: it discovers MULTIPLE equal
positions dynamically. Fixed k is stuck with at most 1.
SYNCHRONIZED MODEL, no PickK, no prophecy.
State: i, n, k, ak1, ak2, bk, c (7 Inv variables)
Note on c: this is the relational cost difference c = cost1 - cost2
modelled as a single counter that increments by 1 per cost-asymmetric
step. The init disjunction is kept general (bk in {0,1}) so Inv covers
all input-array pairs under the forall-k Galois concretization.
VERIFICATION RESULT (triple probe, 2026-04-09, config pcsat_tbq_ar):
positive c <= n - 1 :- Inv, n<=i, bk=1 sat,235 371s
negation c > n - 1 :- Inv, n<=i, bk=1 unsat,2 8s
vacuity (n=2) i = -1 :- Inv, n<=i unsat,5 7s
sanity c <= n :- Inv, n<=i sat,24 9s
Conclusion: conditional bound c <= n-1 given bk=1 is verified.
Heavy iteration count (235) on positive reflects template cost for the
conditional case-split; the fix is sound but slow, worth noting.

================================================================================
WHY MONOTONICITY IS DIFFERENT FROM ROBUSTNESS
================================================================================
Robustness uses QUANTITATIVE slack:
|c1 - c2| <= i * eps Allows either direction, bounded by eps
Monotonicity uses QUALITATIVE ordering:
c1 <= c2 One-sided, no wiggle room
In robustness, the epsilon bound absorbs the MISS overapproximation.
In monotonicity, the monotone bound DIRECTLY captures the universal
precondition (a1[i] <= a2[i] for all i), analogous to how the epsilon
bound captures |a1[i] - a2[i]| <= eps for all i.
Key difference: the epsilon bound is non-trivial (solver must verify
the right constant grows correctly). The monotone bound is qualitative
(trivially maintained once asserted). This makes monotonicity proofs
VALID but SIMPLE for the solver.

ENCODING: SYNCHRONIZED MODEL

Both runs step together (single counter i). This is correct for ArrayMax
because both runs process elements in the same order (indices 0 to n-1).
INPUT CELL:
k: Distinguished element index
wk1: A1[k] - value in array 1
wk2: A2[k] - value in array 2
PRECONDITION: wk1 <= wk2 (monotone input)
IMPLICIT: forall j != k. A1[j] <= A2[j] (captured by monotone bound)
OUTPUT CELL:
m1, m2: current maximum in each run
POSTCONDITION: m1 <= m2 (monotonicity)
STATE: i, k, wk1, wk2, m1, m2, n (7 variables)
NOTE: No sign bits needed! We know the direction: wk1 <= wk2, m1 <= m2.
This is simpler than robustness (which needs bk, bc for unknown direction).

CELL MORPHING NOTE: Two-Array Pointwise Pattern — (k, wk1, wk2)
This compares two DIFFERENT arrays A1, A2 related pointwise (A1[i] <= A2[i]
for all i); it is NOT a shared-array example. The distinguished cell k carries
both values wk1 = A1[k], wk2 = A2[k] with precondition wk1 <= wk2; no sign bit
is needed because the ordering direction is known. Non-distinguished positions
are abstracted by the load-bearing relational bound m1' <= m2', which captures
the implicit pointwise precondition for all i <> k.
This IS relational cell morphing: two runs over pointwise-ordered arrays are
compared, and the solver needs (wk1, wk2) to reason about data-dependent
behavior. See encodings/CELL_MORPHING_PATTERNS.md for the full pattern taxonomy.

SYNCHRONIZED MODEL
================================================================================
Why synchronized: Both runs process edges in the SAME order and make the
SAME add/skip decisions. The union-find structure depends only on which
edges were added, not their weights. So at each step, both runs either
both add or both skip the current edge.
In the asynchronous model, runs could make DIFFERENT add/skip decisions.
Proving monotonicity then requires MST optimality (matroid argument),
which cell morphing cannot capture. See session notes section 6.2.
ENCODING STRUCTURE (mirrors robustness kruskal_v2_fixed.clp):
- Single counter i instead of i1, i2 (synchronized)
- Same HIT/MISS/SKIP/FINISHED cases as robustness
- Monotone bound c1' <= c2' replaces epsilon bound
- No sign bits (bk, bc), no eps parameter needed
- Counter i counts edges ADDED to MST (skip does NOT increment)
- Loop bound n-1 (MST has n-1 edges for n vertices)
STATE VARIABLES (7 total):
i : edges added to MST (both runs, synchronized)
k : distinguished edge index (INPUT — never changes)
wk1 : weight of edge k in run 1 (INPUT — never changes)
wk2 : weight of edge k in run 2 (INPUT — never changes)
c1 : MST cost for run 1 (OUTPUT — accumulates)
c2 : MST cost for run 2 (OUTPUT — accumulates)
n : number of vertices
SOUNDNESS of monotone bound at each step:
HIT ADD: c1' = c1+wk1, c2' = c2+wk2. Since c1<=c2 and wk1<=wk2 => c1'<=c2'
MISS ADD: c1' = c1+w1[e], c2' = c2+w2[e]. Since c1<=c2 and w1[e]<=w2[e] => c1'<=c2'
SKIP: c1' = c1, c2' = c2. Trivially c1'<=c2'.
FINISHED: c1' = c1, c2' = c2. Trivially c1'<=c2'.
EXPECTED: UNSAT (fast — 7 variables, trivial invariant c1 <= c2)

(*
CELL MORPHING NOTE: Shared Array Pattern — (k, ak)
Both runs use the SAME array (A1 = A2), so bk = 1 trivially.
We track single cell value ak = A[k] instead of (ak1, ak2, bk).
Monotonicity of MST weight. ak tracks the edge weight at the distinguished
position to reason about which run adds more weight.
This IS relational cell morphing: two runs are compared,
and the solver needs ak to reason about data-dependent behavior.

Same array A, same threshold h.
PROPERTY:
count1 >= count2 (wider scan range includes at least as many elements)
This is monotonicity of the count with respect to the scan range.

that m1 > m2, they know count1 >= count2. The scan range leaks
information monotonically through the count.

Candidate 1: Secret Threshold Filter — Monotonicity

PROGRAM:
thresholdFilter(A, n, h):
y = 0
for i = 0 to n-1:
if A[i] > h: y += A[i]

"Sum all array elements above the secret threshold h."
PROPERTY (Monotonicity / Quantitative Information Flow):
Pre: A1 == A2 (same array), h1 <= h2, A[i] >= 0
Post: y1 >= y2
"Lower threshold means more elements included, so sum is at least as large."
This bounds the information leakage: the output is monotone in h.
WHY THIS IS INTERESTING:
- Natural information flow example: h is a secret threshold
- Output reveals something about h (lower h → larger y) but monotonically
- Combines data-dependent branching (A[i] > h) with array accumulation
- Uses correlated MISS: if run 2 includes A[i], run 1 must also include it
CELL MORPHING (sync, Level 1, fixed k, shared ak):
Both runs iterate i = 0 to n-1. Same array, so shared (k, ak).
At each position i, three outcomes:
A[i] > h2 >= h1: both include → delta unchanged
h1 < A[i] <= h2: run 1 includes, run 2 doesn't → delta grows by A[i]
A[i] <= h1 <= h2: neither includes → delta unchanged
HIT (i = k):
ak > h2: both add ak. d' = d.
h1 < ak and ak <= h2: run 1 adds ak. d' = d + ak >= d.
ak <= h1: neither adds. d' = d.
MISS (i ≠ k): unknown v = A[i], v >= 0.
Correlated MISS: run 2 including (v > h2) implies run 1 including (v > h1).
So d can only increase or stay flat: d' >= d.

ASYNCHRONOUS MODEL — LEVEL 1 (fixed k, no PickK) + async scheduler
================================================================================
FRAMEWORK CLASSIFICATION: This is still a Level 1 encoding — fixed k,
no PickK, no prophecy. The only extension over the sync version
(encodings/level-1/monotone_arraymax.clp) is the addition of an async
scheduler (SchTF/SchFT/SchTT) allowing two independent counters i1, i2.
This encoding is HARDER than the synchronized model because:
1. m1 <= m2 is NOT a valid UNCONDITIONAL mid-execution invariant.
When i1 > i2, run 1 has seen more elements, so m1 could exceed m2.
2. The MISS case is very UNCONSTRAINED.
Only m1' >= m1 (non-decreasing). No epsilon-like bound.
KEY INSIGHT: the valid mid-execution invariant is CONDITIONAL:
when i1 <= i2: m1 <= m2 (run 2 has processed at least what run 1 has,
so its running max dominates under the
pointwise precondition a1[j] <= a2[j])
when i1 > i2: no bound asserted on m1 vs m2
At termination i1 = i2 = n, so i1 <= i2 holds and m1 <= m2.
This is encoded as an outer conjunct on each transition clause:
(i1' > i2' or m1' <= m2')
which is logically equivalent to "i1' <= i2' ==> m1' <= m2'". This plays
the same role the unconditional `m1' <= m2'` hint plays in the sync
version, but adapted to the async setting where the hint must be
conditional on the counter ordering.
State: i1, i2, k, wk1, wk2, m1, m2, n (8 variables)
VERIFICATION RESULT (triple probe, 2026-04-09, config pcsat_tbq_ar):

vacuity (n=2) i1 = -1 :- Inv, n<=i1, n<=i2 unsat,124 200.6s
VERDICT: verified. Terminal monotonicity holds under the conditional
monotone hint. Healthy triple probe: positive sat, negation unsat,
vacuity non-trivial.
HISTORICAL NOTE: prior to adding the conditional hint, positive form
returned unsat,71 in 60s (tbq_ar) and timed out >20min with 0 iters
(hyperprop2). The conditional hint (i1' > i2' or m1' <= m2') resolved
the template incompleteness — PCSAT could not synthesize this case

the sync version's approach of injecting the invariant as an outer

HIROSHI NO-MISS CLASSIFICATION: MISS load-bearing (structural specification)
MISS encodes the replace metric: "for all i ≠ k, D1[i] = D2[i]."
The MISS branch (i ≠ k → l1 unchanged) is the formal statement that
non-distinguished positions have identical values across the two datasets.
Under Option A (per-step fresh cells), the replace metric is destroyed.
Category: "MISS as structural specification" (shared with histogram_v4)

PROPERTY: L1 Sensitivity |dk2 - dk1| under Replace Metric
Replace metric: D1 and D2 differ at exactly one position k.
D1[k] = dk1 (bin for element k in dataset 1)
D2[k] = dk2 (bin for element k in dataset 2)
For all i ≠ k: D1[i] = D2[i]
================================================================================
ANALYSIS
================================================================================
CDF definition: c[b] = number of elements with value <= b
For element k:
- In run 1: contributes +1 to c1[b] for all b >= dk1
- In run 2: contributes +1 to c2[b] for all b >= dk2
WLOG assume dk1 <= dk2:
Bins b < dk1: c1[b] = c2[b] (neither run counts k)
Bins dk1 <= b < dk2: c1[b] = c2[b] + 1 (only run 1 counts k)
Bins b >= dk2: c1[b] = c2[b] (both runs count k)
L1 = Σ_b |c1[b] - c2[b]| = |dk2 - dk1|
Maximum L1 = m - 1 (when dk1 = 0, dk2 = m-1)
For MISS elements (i ≠ k):
D1[i] = D2[i], so same contribution to both CDFs.
L1 unchanged.
================================================================================
RELATIONAL CELL MORPHING
================================================================================
INPUT CELL (distinguished dataset element):
k: Distinguished element index
dk1: D1[k] - bin for element k in dataset 1
dk2: D2[k] - bin for element k in dataset 2
k, dk1, dk2 NEVER CHANGE
OUTPUT CELL (L1 difference):
l1: Current ||c1 - c2||_1
POSTCONDITION: l1 <= |dk2 - dk1|
================================================================================
KEY INSIGHT
================================================================================
Unlike histogram where L1 ∈ {0, 2}, CDF L1 = |dk2 - dk1|.
The L1 comes from the "gap" between dk1 and dk2:
- If dk1 = dk2: L1 = 0 (same bin, no difference)
- If dk1 ≠ dk2: L1 = |dk2 - dk1| (the range of bins where only one run counts k)
================================================================================
STATE VARIABLES
================================================================================
i1, i2 : elements processed (0 to n)
k : distinguished element index (NEVER CHANGES)
dk1, dk2 : bins for element k (NEVER CHANGE)
hit1, hit2 : has element k been processed? (CAN CHANGE)
l1 : current L1 difference (CAN CHANGE)
n : dataset size
m : number of bins
Note: We use sign bit bd to track whether dk1 <= dk2 or dk1 > dk2.
|dk2 - dk1| = (dk2 - dk1) if bd, else (dk1 - dk2)
*)
(*
CELL MORPHING NOTE: Shared Array Pattern — (k, ak)
Both runs use the SAME array (A1 = A2), so bk = 1 trivially.
We track single cell value ak = A[k] instead of (ak1, ak2, bk).
Sensitivity of CDF computation. ak tracks the value at the distinguished
position to determine how a single-position change affects the output.
This IS relational cell morphing: two runs are compared,
and the solver needs ak to reason about data-dependent behavior.

∀e. |G1[e] - G2[e]| ≤ ε ⟹ |cost1 - cost2| ≤ (N-1)·ε
DETAILED VERSION WITH HIT/MISS ABSTRACTION:
This version tracks TWO distinguished cells:
1. INPUT CELL (edge weight):
- k: distinguished edge index
- wk1, wk2: weights G1[k], G2[k]
- bk: sign bit for edge weight difference
2. OUTPUT CELL (MST cost):
- c1, c2: MST costs in runs 1 and 2
- bc: sign bit for cost difference
HIT/MISS for edge selection:
- HIT: The distinguished edge k is considered for MST
→ we know exact weight contribution wk1 or wk2
- MISS: Some other edge is considered
→ weight unknown but bounded by eps
KEY INSIGHT:
When edge k is added to MST:
- Run 1 adds wk1 to cost
- Run 2 adds wk2 to cost
- Contribution to difference: |wk1 - wk2| ≤ eps
INVARIANT: |c1 - c2| ≤ i · ε where i = edges added
STATE VARIABLES:
i1, i2 : edges added to MST
k : distinguished edge index
wk1, wk2 : weights G1[k], G2[k] (NEVER CHANGE)
bk : sign bit for weight (bk ⟹ wk2 ≥ wk1)
c1, c2 : MST costs (ACCUMULATE)
bc : sign bit for cost (bc ⟹ c2 ≥ c1)

forall i. A1[i] <= A2[i] ==> ArraySum(A1) <= ArraySum(A2)
ASSUMPTION: All array values non-negative (A[i] >= 0 for all i).
This is needed so that sum is non-decreasing during iteration (s' >= s),
which gives the solver enough information in the MISS case.
Without this, MISS transitions are fully unconstrained and the async
model likely cannot close the invariant. A synchronized model would
be needed for the general (possibly negative values) case.

MISS (i != k): s1' >= s1 or s2' >= s2 (non-decreasing, value unknown)
The non-negative assumption ensures s' >= s.

(*
CELL MORPHING NOTE: Shared Array Pattern — (k, ak)
Both runs use the SAME array (A1 = A2), so bk = 1 trivially.
We track single cell value ak = A[k] instead of (ak1, ak2, bk).
Monotonicity of array sum. ak tracks the value at position k; the ordering
A1[k] <= A2[k] ensures sum1 <= sum2.
This IS relational cell morphing: two runs are compared,
and the solver needs ak to reason about data-dependent behavior.

HIROSHI NO-MISS CLASSIFICATION: N/A — no HIT/MISS distinction
The cell (k, wk1, wk2, bk) tracks the input perturbation bound
(|wk1 - wk2| ≤ ε) as a precondition parameter. Transitions do NOT
branch on i = k vs i ≠ k: both "no change" and "relaxation" cases
are independent of k. HIT and MISS are merged because both contribute
at most ε per edge to the distance difference.
The Hiroshi question ("is MISS dispensable?") is ill-posed for this
encoding — there is no separable MISS case to remove.

PROPERTY: (N-1)-robust under L-infinity
forall e. |G1[e] - G2[e]| <= eps ==> forall v. |d1[v] - d2[v]| <= (N-1)*eps
WHY (N-1)?
Shortest path to any vertex uses at most N-1 edges.
Each edge weight differs by at most eps between the two graphs.
So the total distance difference is at most (N-1)*eps.
================================================================================
RELATIONAL CELL MORPHING
================================================================================
TWO DISTINGUISHED CELLS:
1. INPUT CELL (edge weight):
- k: distinguished edge index (symbolic, universally quantified)
- wk1, wk2: weights G1[k], G2[k]
- bk: sign bit for |wk1 - wk2|
- PRECONDITION: |wk1 - wk2| <= eps
- wk1, wk2 NEVER CHANGE (input constants)
2. OUTPUT CELL (vertex distance):
- v: distinguished vertex (implicit, universally quantified)
- dv1, dv2: shortest distances d1[v], d2[v]
- bv: sign bit for |dv1 - dv2|
- POSTCONDITION: |dv1 - dv2| <= (N-1)*eps
- dv1, dv2 CAN CHANGE during relaxation
================================================================================
HOP COUNT ABSTRACTION
================================================================================
Unlike Kruskal where cost accumulates additively (c' = c + w), in Dijkstra
distance is REPLACED by relaxation (d[v] = d[u] + w). We cannot make HIT
explicit because we do not track predecessor distance d[u].
Instead, we abstract via HOP COUNT:
- h1, h2: number of edges in current shortest path to v
- Each edge contributes at most eps to |dv1 - dv2|
- INVARIANT: |dv1 - dv2| <= max(h1, h2) * eps
- h <= N-1 always, so at termination: |dv1 - dv2| <= (N-1)*eps
Both HIT and MISS contribute at most eps per edge, so they are MERGED
into a single relaxation case. This is the key structural difference
from Kruskal.
================================================================================
STATE VARIABLES
================================================================================
i1, i2 : iteration counters (for termination)
h1, h2 : hop count = edges in current shortest path to v
k : distinguished edge index (NEVER CHANGES)
wk1, wk2 : edge weights G1[k], G2[k] (NEVER CHANGE)
bk : sign bit for |wk1 - wk2| (NEVER CHANGES)
dv1, dv2 : shortest distances to v (CAN CHANGE)
bv : sign bit for |dv1 - dv2|
n : number of vertices
eps : perturbation bound
NOTE: k, wk1, wk2, bk are kept for framework consistency with insertion sort
and Kruskal, even though they are not used in transition cases. They document
the input perturbation assumption. Future refinements could exploit them for
an explicit HIT case if predecessor tracking is added.
*)
(*
CELL MORPHING NOTE: Shared Array Pattern — (k, ak)
Both runs use the SAME array (A1 = A2), so bk = 1 trivially.
We track single cell value ak = A[k] instead of (ak1, ak2, bk).
ε-robustness of shortest paths. ak represents the shared edge weight at
position k; perturbation ε is tracked separately to bound output distance
difference.
This IS relational cell morphing: two runs are compared,
and the solver needs ak to reason about data-dependent behavior.

HIROSHI NO-MISS CLASSIFICATION: MISS load-bearing (structural specification)
MISS encodes the replace metric: "for all i ≠ k, D1[i] = D2[i]."
The MISS branch (i ≠ k → l1 unchanged) is the formal statement that
non-distinguished positions have identical values across the two datasets.
Under Option A (per-step fresh cells), every position would get independent
(dk1', dk2'), destroying the replace metric constraint entirely.
This is fundamentally different from monotonicity/cost encodings where
MISS is an abstraction of "unknown but bounded" values. Here MISS IS the
specification, not a conservative abstraction.
Category: "MISS as structural specification" (shared with cdf_sensitivity)

PROPERTY: L1 Sensitivity 2 under Replace Metric
Replace metric: D1 and D2 differ in exactly one element (at position k).
- D1[k] may differ from D2[k]
- For all i ≠ k: D1[i] = D2[i]
Claim: ||h(D1) - h(D2)||_1 ≤ 2
================================================================================
RELATIONAL CELL MORPHING
================================================================================
INPUT CELL (distinguished dataset element):
k: Distinguished element index (where datasets MAY differ)
dk1: D1[k] - bin for element k in dataset 1
dk2: D2[k] - bin for element k in dataset 2
PRECONDITION: 0 ≤ dk1, dk2 < m (valid bins)
CONSTRAINT: ∀i ≠ k: D1[i] = D2[i] (replace metric — implicit in HIT/MISS)
k, dk1, dk2 NEVER CHANGE
OUTPUT CELL (L1 difference):
l1: Current ||h1 - h2||_1
POSTCONDITION: l1 ≤ 2
================================================================================
ANALYSIS: How L1 Changes
================================================================================
For MISS (i ≠ k):
D1[i] = D2[i], so both runs increment the same bin
L1 unchanged
For HIT (i = k):
Run 1 increments h1[dk1]
Run 2 increments h2[dk2]
Sub-case dk1 = dk2 (same bin):
Both increments go to the same bin
- Run 1 alone: h1[dk1] += 1, L1 = |1 - 0| = 1
- Run 2 alone: h2[dk1] += 1, L1 = |0 - 1| = 1
- Both: h1[dk1] += 1, h2[dk1] += 1, L1 = |1 - 1| = 0
Sub-case dk1 ≠ dk2 (different bins):
Increments go to different bins
- Run 1 alone: h1[dk1] += 1, L1 = |1| + |0| = 1
- Run 2 alone: h2[dk2] += 1, L1 = |0| + |-1| = 1
- Both: L1 = |1| + |-1| = 2
================================================================================
SIMPLIFIED MODEL
================================================================================
Since L1 depends on whether dk1 = dk2, and on the order of HITs,
we track:
- hit1: has run 1 processed element k?
- hit2: has run 2 processed element k?
- l1: current L1 difference
Update rules for l1:
Case dk1 = dk2:
l1 = |hit1 - hit2| (0 or 1 during, 0 at end)
- If hit1 and !hit2: l1 = 1
- If !hit1 and hit2: l1 = 1
- If hit1 and hit2: l1 = 0
- If !hit1 and !hit2: l1 = 0
Case dk1 ≠ dk2:
l1 = hit1 + hit2 (0, 1, or 2)
- l1 increases by 1 each time a HIT occurs
At termination: hit1 = hit2 = true
- If dk1 = dk2: l1 = |1 - 1| = 0 ≤ 2 ✓
- If dk1 ≠ dk2: l1 = 1 + 1 = 2 ≤ 2 ✓
================================================================================
STATE VARIABLES
================================================================================
i1, i2 : elements processed (0 to n)
k : distinguished element index (NEVER CHANGES)
dk1, dk2 : D1[k], D2[k] - bins for element k (NEVER CHANGE)
hit1, hit2 : has element k been processed? (CAN CHANGE)
l1 : current L1 difference (CAN CHANGE)
n : dataset size
*)
(*
CELL MORPHING NOTE: Shared Array Pattern — (k, ak)
Both runs use the SAME array (A1 = A2), so bk = 1 trivially.
We track single cell value ak = A[k] instead of (ak1, ak2, bk).
Sensitivity analysis compares two runs differing at one position.
ak tracks the distinguished position's value to determine output difference.
This IS relational cell morphing: two runs are compared,
and the solver needs ak to reason about data-dependent behavior.
See encodings/CELL_MORPHING_PATTERNS.md for the full pattern taxonomy.

ArrayDoubleOpNI — Robust TI-NI, hFT (Level 2: Sync + PickK + Prophecy)
=============================================================================
PROGRAM:
arrayOp(A, n, h):
y = 0
for i = 0 to n-1:
if h: y += 2 * A[i]
else: y += A[i]
if !h: y = 2 * y
return y
PROPERTY — Combined Robustness + TI-NI:
Pre: |A1[i] - A2[i]| <= eps for all i (arrays are eps-close)
d0 positions have A1[i] = A2[i] exactly
h1 = F, h2 = T (different secret)
Post: |y1_final - y2_final| <= 2 * (n - d0) * eps
This COMBINES two property families:
- TI-NI: different h values (secret doesn't leak)
- Robustness: different arrays within eps (output is stable)
When A1 = A2 (eps=0, d0=n): bound = 0, recovers exact TI-NI.
When h1 = h2 (same secret): reduces to standard ArraySum robustness.
The combination is genuinely new.
WHY THE BOUND IS 2*(n-d0)*eps:
Track c = y2 - 2*y1 (deviation from perfect invariant y2 = 2*y1).
At each position i:
Run 1 (h=F, mult=1): y1 += A1[i]
Run 2 (h=T, mult=2): y2 += 2*A2[i]
c' = (y2 + 2*A2[i]) - 2*(y1 + A1[i])
= (y2 - 2*y1) + 2*(A2[i] - A1[i])
= c + 2*(A2[i] - A1[i])
HIT-equal (A1[k]=A2[k]): c' = c + 0 = c (no deviation)
HIT-unequal (|diff|<=eps): |c'-c| = 2*|diff| <= 2*eps
MISS (|diff|<=eps): |c'-c| <= 2*eps
With d0 equal positions (c unchanged), n-d0 unequal (each <=2*eps):
|c_final| <= 2*(n-d0)*eps
At termination: |y1_final - y2_final| = |2*y1 - y2| = |c| <= 2*(n-d0)*eps

REAL-WORLD: Sensor Anomaly Detection — Two-array CONJUNCTION
=============================================================================
PROGRAM:
AnomalyCount(readings, weights, n):
count := 0
for i = 0 to n-1:
if readings[i] > THRESHOLD AND weights[i] > 0:
count++
return count
Real-world scenario: A sensor system flags anomalies only when BOTH
the reading exceeds a threshold AND the sensor weight (reliability)
is positive. Two runs on similar but not identical sensor data.
RUNS:
Run 1: AnomalyCount(R1, W1, n) → c1
Run 2: AnomalyCount(R2, W2, n) → c2
PROPERTY: c1 - c2 <= n - d0
where d0 = #{i : R1[i]=R2[i] AND W1[i]=W2[i]}
WHY THIS DIFFERS FROM DUALCOUNT:
DualCount has INDEPENDENT conditions → cost up to +2 per position.
AnomalyCount has a CONJUNCTION → cost at most +1 per position.
The bound is n-d0 (not 2*(n-d0)) — tighter because the two arrays
interact through AND, not independently.
CELL MORPHING: Two-array at one position k.
ba = (R1[k] = R2[k]) — readings match
bb = (W1[k] = W2[k]) — weights match
HIT (ba=1, bb=1): same readings AND same weights → same conjunction → c'=c

PROPERTY: Relational cost under MIXED metric (replace + Linf)
Precondition:
- d0 positions have a1[i] = a2[i] (replace metric)
- remaining positions have |a1[i] - a2[i]| <= eps (Linf metric)
Postcondition: |s1 - s2| <= (n - d0) * eps
WHY THIS EXAMPLE MATTERS:
Standard robustness (Kruskal-style): forall i. |a1[i] - a2[i]| <= eps
=> |sum1 - sum2| <= n * eps
This encoding: d0 positions EXACTLY equal, rest eps-close
=> |sum1 - sum2| <= (n - d0) * eps <-- TIGHTER!
PickK discovers the d0 equal positions dynamically.
At HIT-equal: contribution is 0 (a1[i] = a2[i])
At HIT-unequal: contribution bounded by eps (|ak1 - ak2| <= eps)
At MISS: contribution bounded by eps (from precondition forall i)
The prophecy d0 lets us separate "zero cost" from "eps cost" positions.
Pure counting CANNOT express the eps bound — it doesnt track values.
Fixed k can only find 1 equal position => bound (n-1)*eps.
PickK + prophecy d0 => bound (n-d0)*eps.

ROBUSTNESS OF CLAMP: ClampPositive output stability
=============================================================================
PROGRAM:
ClampPositive(A, n):
for i = 0 to n-1:
if A[i] < 0: A[i] = 0
return A
This is the array version of "abs/clamp" from idempotence discussions.
Idempotence itself (c = 0 trivially) doesn't need cell morphing.
Instead, we prove ROBUSTNESS: similar inputs → similar outputs.
PROPERTY:
If A1 and A2 agree on d0 positions (A1[i] = A2[i]),
then ClampPositive(A1) and ClampPositive(A2) DIFFER on at most n - d0 positions.
Formally: cost = #{i : output1[i] ≠ output2[i]} ≤ n - d0.
WHY THIS WORKS:
At position k where A1[k] = A2[k] (bk = 1):
- Same value → same clamping decision → same output → cost neutral
At position k where A1[k] ≠ A2[k] (bk = 0):
- Different values → possibly different outputs → cost +1
This is MUTABLE ARRAY cell morphing (like InplaceMap).
The array is modified in-place: A[i] may become 0.
CELL MORPHING:
bk = 1: A1[k] = A2[k] → same clamp decision → outputs equal → c' = c
bk = 0: A1[k] ≠ A2[k] → may differ → worst case c' = c + 1
After clamping at position k:
- If A1[k] ≥ 0 AND A2[k] ≥ 0: both unchanged, bk' = bk (preserved)
- If A1[k] < 0 AND A2[k] < 0: both become 0, bk' = 1 (NOW EQUAL!)
- If A1[k] ≥ 0 AND A2[k] < 0: A1 unchanged, A2 becomes 0 → bk' = ? (unknown)
- If A1[k] < 0 AND A2[k] ≥ 0: A1 becomes 0, A2 unchanged → bk' = ? (unknown)
With our abstraction (bk = equal/unequal only):
HIT-equal (bk=1): same value → same decision → bk' = 1, c' = c, d' = d+1
HIT-unequal (bk=0): different → worst case c' = c+1, bk' = ? (fresh from Wit)

==========================================================================
Execution cost where cost DEPENDS ON ARRAY VALUES
==========================================================================
PROPERTY: Mixed metric (replace + Linf)
Precondition:
- At least d0 positions have a1[i] = a2[i] (replace metric)
- ALL positions have |a1[i] - a2[i]| <= eps (Linf metric)
Postcondition: cost1 - cost2 <= (n - d0) * eps
where cost = sum of A[i] for all i where A[i] > 0.
This is EXECUTION COST: the total work done by the conditional branch.
WHY THIS IS THE KEY EXAMPLE:
1. The cost is genuinely VALUE-DEPENDENT: cost += A[i], not cost++.
Countpositive has +-1 per step — pure counting suffices.
Here, each step contributes up to |a1[i]|, which is unbounded
without the eps precondition.
2. PickK + prophecy alone (no eps) CANNOT bound this:
At unequal positions, |a1[i] - a2[i]| is unknown.
cost1 - cost2 could be arbitrarily large.
The bound n-d0 is meaningless (cost is not +-1).
3. PickK + prophecy + eps gives: (n-d0) * eps.
d0 equal positions contribute 0 (same value, same branch).
n-d0 unequal positions contribute at most eps each.
(Because max(x,0) is 1-Lipschitz: |max(a1,0)-max(a2,0)| <= |a1-a2| <= eps)
This is the ONLY example that requires ALL THREE ingredients.
COST DIFFERENCE ANALYSIS per step:
Let f(x) = max(x, 0). Then cost contribution = f(A[i]).
c' - c = f(a1[i]) - f(a2[i]).
Case 1: a1[i]=a2[i] (equal). f(a1)=f(a2). Change = 0.
Case 2: both > 0. Change = a1[i]-a2[i]. |change| <= eps.
Case 3: both <= 0. f(a1)=f(a2)=0. Change = 0.
Case 4: a1[i]>0, a2[i]<=0. a1[i] <= a2[i]+eps <= eps.
Change = a1[i]-0 = a1[i] <= eps.
Case 5: a1[i]<=0, a2[i]>0. Symmetric. |change| <= eps.
All cases: |c' - c| <= eps. Equal positions: c' = c.

ENCODING INSIGHT:
The branch condition (lo <= x <= hi vs x > 0) is irrelevant to the

Counts adjacent equal pairs. At each step, reads TWO positions: i and i+1.
RUNS:
Run 1: CountAdjacentEqual(A1, n) → c1
Run 2: CountAdjacentEqual(A2, n) → c2
PROPERTY: c1 - c2 <= (n - 1) - d0
where d0 = number of positions i where A1[i]=A2[i] AND A1[i+1]=A2[i+1]
(positions where the PAIR relationship is preserved across runs).
At a "good" position: A1[i]=A2[i] AND A1[i+1]=A2[i+1]
→ A1[i]=A1[i+1] iff A2[i]=A2[i+1] → same branch → cost neutral.
At a "bad" position: at least one element differs
→ comparison may flip → worst case c' = c + 1.
TWO-POSITION CELL MORPHING:
Monitor position k AND k+1 simultaneously.
PickK selects k (left endpoint). k+1 is implicit.
TWO cell values refreshed together by Wit:
ba = (A1[k] = A2[k]) — left element cross-run equality
bb = (A1[k+1] = A2[k+1]) — right element cross-run equality
HIT (i = k, monitoring pair (k, k+1)):
ba=1, bb=1: both match → same "A[i]=A[i+1]?" result → c'=c, d'=d+1
ba=1, bb=0: left matches, right differs → may flip → c'=c+1
ba=0, bb=1: left differs, right matches → may flip → c'=c+1
ba=0, bb=0: both differ → may flip → c'=c+1
MISS (i ≠ k): unknown → c'=c+1
THIS IS THE FIRST GENUINE TWO-POSITION (k, k+1) EXAMPLE:
Both positions are in the SAME array, at ADJACENT indices.
The cost depends on the PAIR relationship, requiring information

STAGE 2a: Sync + PickK + Prophecy — Relative Cost of CountPositive
==========================================================================
PROPERTY:
If A1 and A2 share at least d0 equal positions,
then cost(A1) - cost(A2) <= n - d0.
WHY STAGE 1 IS NOT ENOUGH:
In Stage 1, the distinguished cell k is FIXED. It gives relational
information about ONE position. For cost, we need information about
MANY positions — specifically, how many have a1[i] = a2[i].
Fixed k can at best prove: cost1 - cost2 <= n - 1
(one known-equal position out of n).
We want: cost1 - cost2 <= n - d0 for ANY d0.
NEW INGREDIENTS:
1. PickK — refocuses the distinguished cell at each step
Phase 1 (d < d0): set kp = i to inspect current position
Phase 2 (d >= d0): keep kp = k, prophecy fulfilled
2. Prophecy d0 — "there exist at least d0 equal positions"
Universally quantified (d0 >= 0), not a concrete number.
3. Counter d — tracks how many equal positions discovered so far
4. Wit — witness predicate providing cell values after refocus
State: i, n, k, ak1, ak2, bk, d, d0, c (9 Inv variables)
VERIFIED: UNSAT in 2.5 seconds
COMPARISON: Fixed-k proves n-1 only (4.5s UNSAT, n-2 is SAT)

PROGRAM:
JoinCount(keys_A, keys_B, n):

for i = 0 to n-1:
if keys_A[i] = keys_B[i]: matches++
return matches
Real-world scenario: Count matching records in two database tables
joined on position. Two runs on slightly different table snapshots.
RUNS:
Run 1: JoinCount(A1, B1, n) → c1
Run 2: JoinCount(A2, B2, n) → c2
PROPERTY: c1 - c2 <= n - d0
where d0 = #{i : A1[i]=A2[i] AND B1[i]=B2[i]}
WHY THIS WORKS:
At position k with ba=1 (A1[k]=A2[k]=v_a) AND bb=1 (B1[k]=B2[k]=v_b):
Run 1 checks: A1[k]=B1[k] iff v_a = v_b
Run 2 checks: A2[k]=B2[k] iff v_a = v_b (same values!)
→ Same result → cost neutral.
This is a WITHIN-RUN comparison (A[i] vs B[i]), not cross-run.

Execution cost with NON-UNIT cost per branch
==========================================================================
PROPERTY: Relative execution cost under replace metric.
If A1 and A2 share at least d0 equal positions,
then |cost1 - cost2| <= 2 * (n - d0).
WHY THIS EXAMPLE:
In countpositive, the branch costs +1. The bound is n - d0.
Here, the branch costs +2. The bound is 2 * (n - d0).
This shows the framework handles different cost MAGNITUDES.
The coefficient 2 appears in the bound because each disagreeing
position can change the cost difference by up to 2.
COST DIFFERENCE ANALYSIS per step:
Run 1: cost1 += 2 if a1[i] > 0, else cost1 += 0
Run 2: cost2 += 2 if a2[i] > 0, else cost2 += 0
Equal (a1[i]=a2[i]): same branch => c' = c.
Unequal, both positive: both += 2 => c' = c.
Unequal, both non-positive: both += 0 => c' = c.
Unequal, one positive, one not: |c' - c| = 2.
Only when branches DISAGREE does cost change, and the change is +-2.

Real-world scenario: A firewall counts packets matching a rule with
three fields (source, destination, protocol). Two runs on similar
but not identical packet streams.
RUNS:
Run 1: ClassifyPackets(S1, D1, P1, n) → c1
Run 2: ClassifyPackets(S2, D2, P2, n) → c2

PacketClassify has a CONJUNCTION → cost at most +1 per position.

PROPERTY:

WHAT THIS FILE EXPLORES:
The original async encoding had PickK as a SEPARATE unknown predicate,
interacting with SchTT in the TT transition body:
OLD: Inv ∧ SchTT ∧ PickK ∧ Wit → Inv (4-atom body, 6 unknowns)
This file MERGES PickK logic into the scheduler predicates:
NEW: Inv ∧ SchTT_search → Inv (2-atom body, searching mode: kp = i)
Inv ∧ SchTT_settled → Inv (2-atom body, settled mode: kp = k)
THE KEY INSIGHT:
PickK had two modes: searching (kp = i) and settled (kp = k).
Instead of one SchTT predicate that must work with PickK's two modes,
we have TWO predicates — one per mode. PickK's mode is baked in.
This eliminates:
- PickK as an unknown predicate (kp is now hardcoded per mode)
- Wit as an unknown predicate (fresh cell values are clause-existentials)
- The 3-unknown interaction in the TT transition body
STRUCTURAL COMPARISON:
OLD ASYNC (countpositive.clp, ~3hr):
Unknowns: Inv, SchTT, SchTF, SchFT, PickK, [Wit] → 5-6 unknowns
Transition body: Inv ∧ SchTT ∧ PickK ∧ Wit → 4 interacting unknowns
Clauses: ~11
NEW ASYNC MERGED (this file):
Unknowns: Inv, SchTT_search, SchTT_settled, SchTF, SchFT → 5 unknowns
Transition bodies: Inv ∧ SchTT_search (searching) → 2 unknowns
Inv ∧ SchTT_settled (settled) → 2 unknowns
Clauses: 11
Same clause count, but SIMPLER individual clauses.
The 3-unknown interaction in the TT body is eliminated.
ALIGNMENT CONDITION:
The TT_search transition requires i1 = i2 (aligned runs).
This is the only state where kp = i gives a meaningful HIT
(both programs actually process the same position simultaneously).
When i1 ≠ i2, the scheduler must use TF or FT to re-align.
The lower bound (clause 9) forces SchTT_search ONLY when aligned,
so the proof obligation is well-targeted.
State: i1, i2, n, k, ak1, ak2, bk, d, d0, c (10 variables)
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
This may be faster than the old ~3hr async version because:
- The TT body interaction complexity drops from O(3 unknowns) to O(1)
- The alignment condition (i1=i2) limits searching to useful states
- PCSAT needs to find fewer cross-predicate interactions
Whether it's actually fast enough: run and see!

HETEROGENEOUS EXAMPLE: countPositives (stride 1) vs countNonNegatives (stride 2)
Async Merged Scheduler — Stride 1 vs Stride 2
This file demonstrates that DIFFERENT branch conditions produce the SAME encoding.
Program 1 (stride 1): Program 2 (stride 2):
cost1 := 0 cost2 := 0
for i1 = 0 to n-1: for i2 = 0 to n-1 step 2:
if A1[i1] > 0: cost1++ if A2[i2] >= 0: cost2++
return cost1 return cost2
P1 counts POSITIVES (> 0). P2 counts NON-NEGATIVES (>= 0).
PROPERTY: cost1 - cost2 <= n - d0
where d0 = number of equal positions at even indices.
WHY IS THIS ENCODING IDENTICAL TO STRIDE-1v2?
The REPAC-STRIDE encoding operates at the HIT/MISS abstraction level, which
only distinguishes A1[p] = A2[p] vs A1[p] <> A2[p]. The concrete branch
conditions (> 0 vs >= 0) never appear in the CHC clauses. Here is why:
When A1[p] = A2[p] (HIT-equal):
Both programs see the SAME value v at position p.
- If v > 0: P1 counts (> 0 true) AND P2 counts (>= 0 true). c unchanged.
- If v = 0: P1 skips (> 0 false) BUT P2 counts (>= 0 true). c DECREASES.
- If v < 0: P1 skips (> 0 false) AND P2 skips (>= 0 false). c unchanged.
In ALL cases: c does not increase. The encoding models this as c' = c.
(The v = 0 case actually helps the bound, so c' = c is conservative/safe.)
When A1[p] <> A2[p] (HIT-unequal or MISS):
Worst case: P1 counts and P2 doesn't. c' = c + 1.
So the HIT-equal branch gives c' = c, d' = d + 1.
The HIT-unequal branch gives c' = c + 1, d' = d.
This is EXACTLY the stride-1v2 encoding.
KEY INSIGHT: The REPAC-STRIDE logic is PROGRAM-AGNOSTIC. The branch condition
of each program is irrelevant — only the equality structure between arrays
matters. Any pair of "count something" programs with stride 1 vs stride 2
produces this same encoding, regardless of what "something" is.
MEANING OF THE PROPHECY d0:
P1 visits ALL positions: {0, 1, 2, ..., n-1}
P2 visits EVEN positions: {0, 2, 4, ..., n-2}
Shared positions: {0, 2, 4, ...} = P2's visit set
d0 is the prophecy: "among shared positions, at least d0 have A1[p] = A2[p]."
The prophecy works IDENTICALLY to stride-1v2 because the HIT/MISS abstraction
only cares about equality, not about what the programs DO with the values.
Equal values guarantee both programs agree on their branch — regardless of
whether the branch tests > 0, >= 0, or any other deterministic condition.
At equal shared positions: c unchanged, d grows (same as stride-1v2)
At unequal shared positions: c may grow by 1 (same)
At P1-only positions: c may grow by 1 (same)
Bound: c ≤ n - d0 (same)
WHY THIS EXAMPLE MATTERS FOR THE REPAC-STRIDE LOGIC:
It demonstrates that the REPAC rule's epoch conditions (1-5) are
INDEPENDENT of the loop body semantics. The logic only requires:
(a) Deterministic loop bodies (same input → same branch)
(b) Equal array values at shared positions → equal branch decisions
Any pair of programs satisfying (a) and (b) produces the same CHC encoding.
RESULT: sat,18 in 3.0s (verified with pcsat_tbq_ar.json). Non-vacuity: unsat,2.
STATE VARIABLES (10):
i1 — run1's loop index (stride 1, advances by 1)
i2 — run2's loop index (stride 2, advances by 2)
n — array length
k — distinguished cell position (the PickK cell)
ak1 — value of A1[k] (abstracted: only equality matters)
ak2 — value of A2[k]
bk — 1 if ak1=ak2, 0 otherwise (HIT/MISS flag)
d — number of equal positions discovered so far
d0 — prophecy: "at least d0 positions are equal" (universally quantified)
c — cost difference (cost1 - cost2), the quantity being bounded
UNKNOWNS (5):
Inv — loop invariant (conjunction of linear inequalities)
SchTT_search — scheduler: both step, searching phase (kp = i1 = i2)

Identical to stride-1v2 — the heterogeneous branch conditions do not
affect the CHC encoding. This confirms the REPAC-STRIDE logic is
program-agnostic: it depends only on array equality structure, not
on what each program's branch condition tests.

PRECISE L4 SOURCE-STATE STRIDE 1v2 — PILOT (2026-05-18)
============================================================================
This is an EXPERIMENT comparing two L4 source-state stride encodings:
ORIGINAL (`async_stride_pickk_merged.clp`):
Worst-case-for-upper-bound abstraction. All transitions collapse to a
single c update (TF c+1, FT c, TT_settled c+1, TT_search HIT-unequal c+1).
Encoding's c is a sound UPPER BOUND on source cost1 - cost2 across all
traces, but not literal equality.
VERIFIED: sat,29 in 5.9s with pcsat_tbq_ar.json.
PRECISE (this file):
Faithful source semantics at TT_search via sign-guarded 4-case split on
(ak1p > 0) × (ak2p > 0). Unguarded delta sets {c-1, c, c+1} at non-kp
positions (TT_settled, TF, FT) — encoding still over-approximates there
because the encoding doesn't track unabstracted positions' signs, but
every source trace's reachable c is included in this encoding's reachable
c set (no source trace dropped).
HYPOTHESIS:
L4's merged scheduler (alignment forcing 9/10/11 + prophecy d_0) provides
enough invariant-shaping that PCSAT can find a stratified solution for
the precise encoding, where L3's flat case-split timed out >3h.
PROPERTY: c <= n - d0 (same as original L4 source-state).
Codex-signed-off 2026-05-18, caveats:
(1) Sign-guarded TT_search HIT-unequal (4 cases).
(2) TT_settled excludes undiscovered HIT-equal (settled never sees i1=i2=kp
with bkp=1 in a way that would require d'=d+1; if d>=d_0 already this
is harmless).
(3) Unguarded delta sets at non-kp positions stated as overapproximation,
not literal source semantics.
State: i1, i2, n, k, ak1, ak2, bk, d, d0, c (10 variables)

Loop Perforation Robustness (Level 4 — Merged Scheduler, Stride 1 vs 2)
=============================================================================
SOURCE: Inspired by Chaudhuri, Gulwani, Lublinerman, FSE 2011
"Proving Programs Robust" — loop perforation as approximation
REAL-WORLD: Approximate Computing / Loop Perforation
Loop perforation is a program approximation technique that skips loop
iterations to trade accuracy for performance. The key question:
how much does the output change when we skip iterations?
PROGRAM:
CountPositive(A, n): CountPositive_Perforated(A, n):
c := 0 c := 0
for i = 0 to n-1: for i = 0 to n-1 step 2:
if A[i] > 0: c++ if A[i] > 0: c++
return c return c
Program 1 (full): counts all positive elements (stride 1)
Program 2 (perforated): counts positive elements at even positions only (stride 2)
PROPERTY — Perforation robustness:
Pre: Same array A1 = A2
Post: c1 - c2 <= n - d0
where d0 = #{even i : A[i] <= 0} (positions where perforated version
wouldn't count anyway, so skipping them costs nothing)
This is exactly a stride 1 vs stride 2 relational cost problem.
We reuse the merged scheduler template.
Connection to Chaudhuri+11: They verify robustness as Lipschitz continuity.
We verify a tighter bound: the cost difference depends on HOW MANY positions
the perforated version skips that would have counted — parameterized by d0.
STATE: i1, i2, n, k, ak1, ak2, bk, d, d0, c (10 variables)
Shared array: ak1 = ak2, bk always 1 → simplified to single ak.
But keep (ak1, ak2, bk) for generality (different arrays also work).

Candidate 4: Threshold Count with Different Strides (Level 4, Merged)
=============================================================================
PROGRAMS:
P1(A1, n, h): count1 = 0; for i=0 to n-1: if A1[i] > h: count1++
P2(A2, n, h): count2 = 0; for i=0 to n-1 step 2: if A2[i] > h: count2++
P1 checks ALL n positions (stride 1).
P2 checks EVEN positions only (stride 2).
Both use the same threshold h.
PROPERTY:
count1 - count2 <= n - d0
Where d0 = number of EVEN positions where both runs make the same
branch decision (A1[2j] and A2[2j] agree on > h).
At even positions both runs process: alignment event.
At odd positions only P1 processes: catch-up step.
WHY MERGED SCHEDULER:
Different strides → different loop structures → async required.
PickK baked into SchTT_search/SchTT_settled (Level 4).
SchTF forces catch-up when P1 is behind after TT.
ALIGNMENT PATTERN (epoch j, even position 2j):
TT at 2j: both step. P1 → 2j+1, P2 → 2j+2.
TF at 2j+1: P1 catches up. P1 → 2j+2, P2 stays 2j+2.
Aligned again at 2j+2.

NOTE on source modification (May 13, 2026):
Source modified from `A[i] := f(A[i])` with `f(x) = x>0 ? x+1 : 1`
to `if x > 0 then A[i] := x+1 else skip`.
REASON: under per-construct cost model (c_skip=0, c_update=1), the original
symmetric-update source had operational cost diff = 0 between any two runs,
making the encoding's `c` a relational ghost (branch-disagreement counter)
rather than operational cost diff. The modified asymmetric source makes
per-iteration cost = 1 (then taken) or 0 (else taken), so cost diff
between two runs = (#positives in A_1) - (#positives in A_2),
bounded by n - |β_eq| as the encoding shows.
Semantic difference: positions where x ≤ 0 are PRESERVED in the modified
version (instead of being set to 1 in the original).

==========================================================================
InplaceMap: Sync + PickK + Prophecy — MUTABLE ARRAY Cell Morphing
==========================================================================
PROPERTY: Signed relational execution cost (matches ARel/RelCost convention).
If A1 and A2 share at least d0 equal positions (before the map),
then cost(C_1) - cost(C_2) <= n - d0 (signed bound).
where cost(C_i) = number of iterations where A_i[i] > 0 (i.e., updates fire)
under per-construct cost model (c_update=1, c_skip=0).
When a1[i] = a2[i] (HIT-equal):
Same branch on both runs (both update or both skip), cost neutral.
When a1[i] <> a2[i] (HIT-unequal) or MISS:
Branches may differ. Worst-case signed cost diff per iteration: +1 (run 1 updates, run 2 skips).
Encoding's `c' = c+1` is a sound upper bound on signed cost diff
(loose: actual could be +1, 0, or -1).
WHY THIS EXAMPLE MATTERS:
Unlike countpositive (read-only), InplaceMap WRITES to the array
(when x > 0). Cell morphing tracks values that CHANGE during execution:
- HIT at step i with x > 0: ak1' = ak1p + 1 (cell mutates!)
- HIT at step i with x <= 0: ak1' = ak1p (preserved by skip)
- MISS: cell values unchanged
This shows PickK + prophecy works with mutable arrays, not just scans.
Cell morphing preserves equality at HIT-equal positions because:
ak1p = ak2p => same branch decision => same post-iteration value.
COMPARISON WITH ORIGINAL (relational-map-cm-beta-singlek2.clp):
Original: async + fixed k + no prophecy => bound n-1, requires bk=1 in goal
This: sync + PickK + prophecy => bound n-d0, no bk constraint

nested_branch_sync_execost — L3-SYNC construct-execution GRADE (POSITIVE probe)

Program (NO source cost variable; A is READ-ONLY):
for i = 0..n-1:

if x > 0:
B[i] := x (* construct write, cost 1 under V1 *)
C[i] := 2*x (* construct write, cost 1 under V1 *)

PROPERTY (signed relational construct-execution cost, K=2):
If A1 and A2 share at least d0 equal positions, then

where cost = number of construct-writes executed under per-construct cost
model V1 (c_write=1, c_skip=0). Each positive cell costs K=2 (two writes).
WHY L3 (not L2): c is a construct-execution GRADE, not a source variable.
There is no `cost` variable in the program. Replacing C[i]:=2*x with
C[i]:=x+100 leaves the bound 2*(n-d0) UNCHANGED (value-invariant) — the grade
counts WRITES (K=2), not the written value. Contrast nested_branch_sync (#42,
L2): there `cost += 2` is a source var, so `cost += 3` would scale the bound
to 3*(n-d0). Same n-d0 cardinality machinery (d0 prophecy + two-phase PickK)
⇒ L2 base + construct grade ⇒ L3. Single shared counter, no scheduler ⇒ sync.
COST ACCOUNTING (one-sided signed upper bound, mirrors inplacemap_sync):
HIT-equal (i=kp, bkp=1): same A value ⇒ same branch ⇒ same writes/skip
⇒ cost-neutral c'=c, agreement credited d'=d+1.
HIT-unequal (i=kp, bkp=0): DELIBERATE worst-case abstraction — run1 may do
both writes (+2) while run2 skips (+0) ⇒ c'=c+2.
MISS (i<>kp): unknown branch relation, DELIBERATE worst-case ⇒ c'=c+2.

==========================================================================
ASYNC + MERGED PICKK — InplaceMap Relational Cost (Mutable Array)
==========================================================================
PROPERTY:
If A1 and A2 share at least d0 equal positions (before the map),
then cost1 - cost2 <= n - d0 (one-directional; this is what the goal proves).
The symmetric bound |cost1 - cost2| <= n - d0 follows by run-swap symmetry
of the encoding but is NOT separately discharged in this file.
c = cost1 - cost2, the relational cost difference. Equal positions are
cost-neutral: when a1[i] = a2[i], f(a1[i]) = f(a2[i]) (same branch), so the
step cannot grow the difference. The transitions use worst-case per-step
accounting (TF: c' = c + 1; FT: c' = c, since run2's work can only shrink
cost1 - cost2), which is the standard upper-bound style.
WHAT MAKES THIS HARD vs READ-ONLY:
InplaceMap WRITES to the array. The distinguished cell (k, ak1, ak2, bk)
changes during execution. The cell morphing must track mutation:
HIT at step i (where i = k): ak1' = f(ak1p), ak2' = f(ak2p)
MISS at step i (where i != k): ak1' = ak1p, ak2' = ak2p (unchanged)
The PickK + prophecy argument STILL works because f is deterministic:
ak1p = ak2p => f(ak1p) = f(ak2p) (equal positions stay equal)
THE MERGED SCHEDULER PATTERN:
Same architecture as async_countpositive_pickk_merged.clp:
PickK's two modes are baked into SchTT_search and SchTT_settled.
TT_search: both step, kp = i (searching), process mutable HIT/MISS.
TT_settled: both step, kp = k (settled), process mutable HIT/MISS.
TF: run1 only steps, worst-case cost.
FT: run2 only steps, cost neutral (upper bound).
Lower bound clauses:
Clause 9: SchTT_search when aligned (i1=i2) and d < d0.
Clause 10: SchTT_settled when d >= d0.
MUTABLE CELL BOOKKEEPING:
In TT_search (kp = i1 = i2):
Always a HIT. Apply f to fresh values (ak1p, ak2p).
Fresh values are existentially quantified in the clause.
In TT_settled (kp = k):
May be HIT (i1 = k) or MISS (i1 != k).
HIT: apply f to (ak1, ak2), get (ak1', ak2').
MISS: cell unchanged, ak1' = ak1, ak2' = ak2. Worst-case c'=c+1.
In TF (run1 only):
run1 reads/writes A1[i1]. If i1 = k: cell changes for run1 only.
But: k is the joint distinguished cell. After TF, run2 hasn't
processed position i1 yet. So the cell values for run2 at k are
still old. We conservatively keep ak1' updated, ak2' unchanged.
Worst case for cost: c' = c + 1.
In FT (run2 only):
Symmetric. Keep ak2' updated if i2 = k, ak1' unchanged.
Cost neutral: c' = c.

TOTAL: 11 clauses, 5 unknown predicates (same structure as async CountPositive merged)
KEY DIFFERENCE FROM READ-ONLY:
Clauses 2-5 all carry cell mutation logic (applying f).
In CountPositive, these transitions just tracked cost +1 or 0.
Here, each transition must correctly update (ak1', ak2', bk') via f.
The cell "splits" across TF/FT steps:
- After TF: ak1' = f(old ak1), ak2' = old ak2 (run2 hasn't processed yet)
- After FT: ak1' = old ak1, ak2' = f(old ak2)
- After TT: both updated symmetrically
PCSAT must find an Inv that stays closed under all these cell states.
This is why InplaceMap is slower than CountPositive even in the sync model.
INVARIANT PCSAT SHOULD FIND: c <= i1 - d
- TT_search (HIT equal): c'=c, i1'=i1+1, d'=d+1 -> c' <= i1+1-(d+1) = i1'-d' ✓
- TT_search (HIT unequal): c'=c+1, i1'=i1+1, d'=d -> c' <= i1'-d' ✓
- TT_settled (any case): c'<=c+1, i1'=i1+1, d'=d -> c' <= i1'-d' ✓
- TF: c'=c+1, i1'=i1+1, d'=d -> c' <= i1'-d' ✓
- FT: c'=c, i1'=i1, d'=d -> c' <= i1'-d' ✓

==========================================================================
ASYNC + MERGED PICKK — InplaceMap Stride 1 vs 2 (Mutable Array)
==========================================================================
FIRST EXAMPLE COMBINING MUTATION + DIFFERENT STRIDES.
This encoding merges two previously separate ideas:
1. Mutable array bookkeeping from async_inplacemap_pickk_merged.clp
(tracking how f transforms the distinguished cell through HIT/MISS)
2. The stride-1v2 scheduler pattern from reference_stride1v2.clp
(i1 advances by 1, i2 advances by 2, with catch-up lower bounds)
WHY MUTATION DOESN'T BREAK THE PROPHECY:
f is deterministic: equal inputs always produce equal outputs.
If ak1 = ak2 before a TT step, then f(ak1) = f(ak2) after.
The PickK prophecy argument (d0 equal positions exist) survives because
equal positions STAY equal through the map — f cannot create disagreement
from agreement.
THE "SPLIT CELL" STATE (after TF or FT):
When only run1 steps (TF) and hits the distinguished cell:
ak1' = f(ak1) (run1 has applied f)
ak2' = ak2 (run2 hasn't processed this cell yet)
The cell is now in a "split" state — the two halves are out of sync.
This is safe because:
- bk' is updated to reflect the new equality status
- When run2 eventually processes this cell, it will apply f to its own half
- Cost accounting is conservative (TF: c+1, FT: c unchanged)
PROPERTY: cost1 - cost2 <= n - d0
cost = number of iterations where the two runs DISAGREE on f's branch.
INVARIANT: c <= i1 - d
- TT_search (HIT equal): c'=c, i1'=i1+1, d'=d+1 -> c <= i1+1-(d+1) ✓
- TT_search (HIT unequal): c'=c+1, i1'=i1+1, d'=d -> c+1 <= i1+1-d ✓
- TT_settled (any): c'<=c+1,i1'=i1+1, d'=d -> c+1 <= i1+1-d ✓
- TF: c'=c+1, i1'=i1+1, d'=d -> c+1 <= i1+1-d ✓
- FT: c'=c, i1'=i1, d'=d -> c <= i1-d ✓
At termination: c <= n - d <= n - d0 ✓
MEANING OF THE PROPHECY d0:
P1 visits ALL positions: {0, 1, 2, ..., n-1}
P2 visits EVEN positions: {0, 2, 4, ..., n-2}
Shared positions: {0, 2, 4, ...} = P2's visit set
d0 is the prophecy: "among shared positions (even indices), at least d0
have A1[p] = A2[p] BEFORE the map begins."
At a shared position p where A1[p] = A2[p] (pre-map):
Both programs see the same input value x.
Both apply the same deterministic f(x).
Both produce the same output f(x).
Both take the same branch (x > 0 or x ≤ 0).
→ Cost difference unchanged. d increments.
At a shared position p where A1[p] ≠ A2[p]:
Programs may take different branches.
→ Worst case: cost difference increases by 1.
At non-shared positions (odd indices, P1-only):
P1 processes, P2 skips.
→ Cost difference can increase by 1.
WHY MUTATION DOESN'T CHANGE THE BOUND:
The bound c ≤ n - d0 is identical to read-only stride-1v2 because:
- f is deterministic: equal inputs → equal outputs → equal branches
- The cost function counts BRANCH DISAGREEMENTS, not value differences
- After f, equal cells remain equal (f(x) = f(x)), so the PickK
argument about counting equal positions still holds
- The mutation affects WHAT VALUES the cell holds, but not WHETHER
the two runs agree on the branch decision at that cell
ALIGNMENT PATTERN (same as stride-1v2):
TT at 0: i1=1, i2=2 → TF: i1=2 → aligned at 2
TT at 2: i1=3, i2=4 → TF: i1=4 → aligned at 4
Pattern: TT, TF, TT, TF, ...
State: i1, i2, n, k, ak1, ak2, bk, d, d0, c (10 variables)
i1: run1's index (stride 1, advances by 1)
i2: run2's index (stride 2, advances by 2)
n: array length
k: distinguished cell position (tracked through mutation)
ak1: A1[k] current value (changes when run1 processes position k)
ak2: A2[k] current value (changes when run2 processes position k)
bk: 1 if ak1 = ak2, 0 otherwise (tracks equality through mutation)
d: number of equal shared positions discovered so far
d0: prophecy threshold
c: cost1 - cost2 (branch disagreement count)

After TF at k: ak1' = f(ak1), ak2' = ak2 (ak1 post-f, ak2 pre-f)
After FT at k: ak1' = ak1, ak2' = f(ak2) (ak1 unchanged, ak2 post-f)
This is sound because bk' always reflects the TRUE equality of ak1' vs ak2'.

RESULT: sat — property c <= n - d0 verified. TRIPLE ✓ (all three probes pass).
CONFIG: pcsat_tbq_ar.json -p pcsp (Docker coar:latest)
Triple-probe sanity check:
1. Positive (this file): sat,11 (~5-60s; 11-31 iters across runs)
2. Negation (c > n - d0): unsat,3 (~3s)
sat-tests/sat_test_inplacemap_stride1v2_neg.clp
3. L4 v3 vacuity (n=2, d0=0): unsat,8 (~31s)
async_inplacemap_stride1v2_pickk_merged_vac.clp
Bonus tightness probe (c <= 0): unsat,4 (~5s)
sat-tests/sat_test_inplacemap_stride1v2.clp
Interpretation per pcsat-verify skill:
- Positive sat IS the proof (an inductive invariant exists that
forces every reachable terminal into c <= n - d0).
- Negation unsat is a SANITY PROBE: the negated-goal CHC system has
no satisfying counter-invariant. It is NOT a second independent
proof under forall-semantics with unknown Inv (see pcsat-verify
skill "RIGOR — Violation-form UNSAT is NOT a proof").
- L4 v3 vacuity unsat at the stride-1v2 LCM slice (n=2, d0=0)
rules out the family-specific terminal-progress loophole.
Together: property holds AND not vacuously verified. Codex-rigorous TRIPLE ✓.
PATCH 2026-05-19:
- Added clauses 12-13 (terminal catch-up lower bounds): force each run to
drain remaining steps after the other finishes. Fixes vacuity TIMEOUT
that occurred without these clauses (solver explored unbounded paths).
- Fixed f(x<=0): was identity (ak'=x), now constant (ak'=1) matching the
stated definition f(x) = x>0 ? x+1 : 1. All 6 HIT application sites
updated; MISS sites (i<>k) correctly left unchanged.
RE-VERIFIED 2026-05-20:
- Updated tightness probe (was mislabeled "negation") to 14-clause structural
match with main file.
- Added true negation probe (c > n - d0) -> unsat,3.
- Added concrete-n=2 vacuity probe (head i1 = -1) -> unsat,29.
- Codex (xhigh) flagged the mislabel; corrected here.
TIER-3 HYGIENE 2026-05-24:
- Added strict L4 v3 vacuity companion
async_inplacemap_stride1v2_pickk_merged_vac.clp -> unsat,8.

V1 STRICT per-construct cost: c_assign=c_read=c_update=c_alloc=1.
Encoding c tracks signed per-construct trace cost diff cost1_trace - cost2_trace.
Per V1 strict execost analysis:
- Both runs do reads on same-step transitions (reads cancel for c-diff).
- Assigns are conditional on source predicate; differ by sign of A[i].
- Asymmetric steps (TF, FT): unmatched read counts +1 unconditional, plus optional assign.
PROPERTY: 2*c + 2*d_0 <= 3*n (= c <= 3n/2 - d_0, same as abstracted execost).

EXECOST VARIANT (V1 strict per-construct trace cost diff)

This is the _execost variant of loop_perforation_stride12.clp.
Identical pattern to async_stride_pickk_merged_execost.clp (1v2 baseline).
Loop perforation: CountPositive (full stride 1) vs CountPositive_Perforated (stride 2).
Same shape as 1v2 stride mismatch.
TF transition: c' = c + 2 (P1's unmatched read +1 + worst-case assign +1)
FT transition: c' = c - 1 (P2's unmatched read decreases diff by 1)
Bound: 2*c + 2*d0 <= 3*n.
