══════════════════════
Notation: if nth -> a, then we write [nth] = a.
By ✅「⟨ ⁵ᵗʰ↓ ⁴ᵗʰ↓ ³ʳᵈ↑ ²ⁿᵈ↓ ¹ˢᵗ↑ ⁰ᵗʰ↑ ⟩ after 5−⟨⋯⟩」, we have
(1.1) {[3rd], [1st], [0th]} = {0,1,2}; and
(1.2) {[5th], [4th], [2nd]} = {3,4,5}.
Note that (1.1) implies both [1st] and [0th] are in {0,1,2}:

If {[1st], [0th]} = {1,2}, then we shall fail to avoid ⛔「1st → a, 0th → b, a+b=3+4n」. Therefore, we need
(2) 0 = [1st] or [0th].
On the other hand, observe that ⛔「min ⊢5⊣ ≥ 1」 implies 5 and 0 are adjacent. Combining this with (2) and (1.2), we get

It then follows from ✅「{p5, p3, p1} = ? + {0,1,3}」 that {[5th], [3rd]} = {1,3}. Using (1.1) and (1.2), we get
