Two-round extraction by the actual flip-flop look-ahead #
The concrete three-call program has a nearly uniform second output while retaining the transcript, full right state, and both first outputs. The sources factor given the transcript; honest and tampered inputs on either side may be arbitrarily correlated. The hypotheses are average joint source envelopes and the original seed-prefix discrepancy. No supplied extractor or intermediate-seed guarantee is assumed.
The proof instantiates the finite two-round argument of
Chattopadhyay--Goyal--Li, Non-Malleable Extractors and Codes, with their
Many Tampered Extensions, Lemma 6.5 and Claim 6.6, printed pp.25--28,
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1505.00107, with the actual matched-width scheduled
programs. It does not yet prove the two-refresh flip-flop invariant or the
longer advice-bit iteration. The conservative matched parameters are
credited separately in Scheduled.Matched.
The actual program law is precisely the three-call law with the proved matched extractors.
Every normalized conditionally factored source has a normalized actual output law.
Actual look-ahead extraction retains the right state and both first outputs.
