══════════════════════
Notation: if nth -> a, then we write [nth] = a.
By ✅「⟨? 4 ⋯ (?−3) ⋯ 0 ⋯⟩ (?≠4)」, plainly we have

This pattern also requires that [5th] = 5|3. By ✅「⟨? ⋯ 3 (?−3) ⋯ 2 ⋯⟩ (?≠3)」, 3 is not in the left corner. Therefore, [5th] = 5:

Then, by combining ✅「⟨? 4 ⋯ (?−3) ⋯ 0 ⋯⟩ (?≠4)」 with ✅「⟨? ⋯ 3 (?−3) ⋯ 2 ⋯⟩ (?≠3)」, we have the following required pattern:
(1) ⟨ ⋯ 3 2 ⋯ 0 ⋯⟩.
It follows that 3 is at the 3rd or 2nd positions. By ✅「3rd → 1|5」, 3 is not [3rd]. Therefore, 3 = [2nd]:
