The iterated-clock schedule in the conditional MinKT reduction #
This module constructs the exact p, p^2, p^3, and p^4 query schedule
from Proposition 6.2. A regular primitive clock, explicit finite loss budget,
and the already-formalized paired upper-chain theorem produce the complete
Compatible contract for reducing conditional gap MinKT to two ordinary gap
MinKT estimator queries.
Every fixed iterate of a monotone primitive clock is monotone.
A regular clock makes the one-step ordinary gap transform widening.
A regular clock makes the final four-step conditional transform widening.
The full-domain estimator sandwich is unsatisfiable for the iterated
plan's ordinary parameters: their transformed clock ignores output length, so at
source time 0 no machine prints a string longer than clock 0. The
consequences therefore require the sandwich only on the plan's own estimator
queries (SatisfiesBoundsOn).
The exact iterated clocks and finite loss inequalities discharge every non-machine field of the unconditional-estimator compatibility contract.
Combining the operational condition-first compiler with the exact iterated-clock/loss schedule yields the complete compatibility contract.
