Proof of 2026-02-03 WR
══════════════════════

Notation: if nth -> a, then we write [nth] = a.

By ✅「⟨         ¹ˢᵗa ⁰ᵗʰb ⟩, (ab)₁₀ ≥ 30」, we have

(1) [1st] = 5 | 4 | 3.

If it is 3 then we match ⛔「5th|3rd|2nd|1st → 3」, while if it is 5 then we match ⛔「1 ∾ 5」. Therefore, [1st] = 4:

┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
│ 1 │ 2 │ 5 │ 0 │ 3 │   │
└───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘

Then, in view of ⛔「5th|3rd|2nd|1st → 3」, we have

(2) 3 = [4th] | [0th].

(2.1) We show that 3 = [0th] actually.

------------------------------

Suppose on the contrary 3 = [4th]:

└───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘

In order to avoid ⛔「Jump(1,2) ≥ 1」, we need 1 and 2 to be adjacent. Therefore, {1,2} = {[3rd], [2nd]}:

┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
│5th│4th│3rd│2nd│1st│0th│
╞═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╡

└───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘

It then follows from ✅「4th|3rd|1st|0th → 2」 that

┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
│5th│4th│ 3▲│ 2▲│1st│0th│
╞═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╡

┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
│   │   │ 5 │ 0 │   │   │
└───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘

Note that we will fail to match ✅「⟨⋯ ᵃb ⋯⟩, |a-b|=2」. This shows a contradiction.

------------------------------

We have verified (2.1). Accordingly, we get

       ┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
       │5th│4th│3rd│2nd│1st│ 0■│▒
       ╞═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╡▒

┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐

└───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘

Then, as ⛔「Jump(1,2) ≥ 1」 implies that 1,2 are adjacent, there are three ways to place them:

      ┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
      │5th│4th│3rd│2nd│1st│0th│
      ╞═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╡
(3.1) │ ▬ │ ▬ │   │   │ 4 │ 3 │

(3.3) │   │   │ ▬ │ ▬ │ 4 │ 3 │
      └───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘

We show that case (3.2) holds actually.

------------------------------

If on the contrary (3.1) or (3.3) hold, then using ✅「4th|3rd|1st|0th → 2」, we have

    ┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
    │5th│4th│3rd│2nd│1st│0th│

┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
│   │   │ 5 │ 0 │   │   │
└───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘

Note that we match ⛔「1 ∾ 5」 in case (4), while we cannot match ✅「⟨⋯ ᵃb ⋯⟩, |a-b|=2」 in case (5).

------------------------------

We have shown that (3.2) holds. Therefore, we have

┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
│5th│4th│3rd│2nd│1st│0th│
╞═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╡
│0 5│1 2│1 2│0 5│ 4 │ 3 │
└───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘

Then, in view of ⛔「⟨⋯ Perm(0,2) ⋯⟩」, there are two cases:

    ┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
    │5th│4th│3rd│2nd│1st│0th│
    ╞═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╡

    ├───┼───┼───┼───┼───┼───┤
(7) │ 5 │ 2 │ 1 │ 0 │ 4 │ 3 │
    └───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘

We need to match ✅「⟨⋯ ᵃb ⋯⟩, |a-b|=2」, so (9) is the answer.
