Exponential collision tails for independently chosen recovery sets #
The proof applies to any finite family of recovery sets in which a fixed point blocks at most one choice. A collision cut selects requests whose failures become independent after the complementary directions are fixed. Counting all such cuts proves an exponential bound without assuming that the individual collision edges are independent.
A request is clean if its recovery set avoids the occupied set and all other requests' recovery sets.

Instances For
Nonclean request indices, including requests colliding with occupancy.
Equations
- Algebraic.MassProduction.Nonuniform.badRequests sets occupied assignment = {index : Index | ¬Algebraic.MassProduction.Nonuniform.Clean sets occupied assignment index}
Instances For
A large set of nonclean requests has a cut witness of any requested size at most the ceiling of half the number of nonclean requests.
The union of occupancy and the complementary requests, after their directions have been fixed.
Equations
- One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Instances For
Occupancy and the complementary recovery sets use at most the sum of their individual point budgets.
For each fixed cut, the choices on its selected side are independent once the complementary choices have been fixed.
A union bound over cuts of size ceil(k/4) counts all assignments in
which at least half of the requests are nonclean.
If the blocking budget is at most 1/256 of the choice space, the
fraction of candidates with at least half their requests nonclean is at
most 2^(-k). The statement uses exact natural-number cardinalities.
