Each dwell releases ONE THIRD OF WHAT REMAINS (operator ruling 2026-08-19: "the last
1/3 should also be in thirds to find the precise stop") — a geometric ladder, not a
linear one. planted −18 walks −12, −8, −5.3, −3.6, −2.4, −1.6, −1.1, gone: the deeper
rungs move fast, the shallow tail is searched finely, and a regrowth at rung k brackets
the room's stability boundary within a third of the remaining depth.
