Finding

The actual completion selection lies exactly in the kernel. Strict and Year6 alternatives give shifts6/5 and2. The conserved anchor is therefore a precise relation between selected states, not invariance under every actual/rounded convention.

Reassessment

Formalize the rounded path evaluator so convergence and nonconvergence can be explained by one rule.
