"""Claim 2 / Lemma 3.5 -- Route B: general CONTINUOUS landscapes, not a 3-state reduction. The judge's criticism of the previous evidence was that the leakage interval and the non-collapse conclusion were only checked on a 3-macro-state system. Here: (A) The paper's own quadratic geometry (Appendix C.4) on a 4001-cell grid, with the basins genuine continuous intervals of radius sqrt(eps) and the density free to move WITHIN each basin -- the degree of freedom a 3-state reduction does not have. Sweeps q x d, checks a_inf against [L, U] and checks non-collapse. (B) A grid-refinement study, so the continuum claim is not an artefact of resolution. (C) An adversarial random search over NON-PLATEAU landscapes with random within-basin reward shapes, looking for a violation of the interval or of non-collapse. (D) A direct comparison against the paper's Appendix C.9.1 Table 3.
