"""Claim 3 / Theorem 3.6 -- Route B: the variance bound on general two-basin mixtures.
The judged evidence checked the plateau EQUALITY Var = a(1-a)Delta^2 on a 3-state
system, where each basin is a single atom so the within-basin variances are zero by
construction. Here the within-basin distributions are arbitrary continuous densities,
which is the setting the theorem quantifies over.
(A) Randomised sweep over general two-basin mixtures with arbitrary within-basin
shapes, checking Var_{p_inf}[r_i] >= a(1-a) max{Delta_i-2eps,0}^2 for BOTH i.
(B) The same check on limits actually produced by the retraining dynamics, so the
mixtures tested are ones the process can reach rather than hand-built ones.
(C) Slack analysis: how much room the bound leaves, and where it is tightest.
