══════════════════════

To match ✅「{p4, p3, p1} = ? + {0,1,2}」, we need

(1) [4th], [3rd], [1st] are consecutive integers.

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

On the other hand, ✅「4th → a, 2nd → b, a+b=2」 implies

(2) ([4th], [2nd]) = (0,2) or (2,0).

┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐

╞═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╪═══╡
│   │0 2│   │0 2│   │   │
└───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘

Note that if ([4th], [2nd]) = (0,2), then there is no way to match (1):

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

┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
│ 1 │   │ 5 │   │ 3 │ 4 │
└───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘

Therefore, we have ([4th], [2nd]) = (2,0) instead.

Then, to avoid ⛔「Jump(0,1) ≥ 2」, we need

(3) 1 = [3rd] | [1st] | [0th].

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

└───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘

If 1 = [0th] then we fail to avoid ⛔「⟨⋯ ᵃb ⋯⟩, |a-b|=1」. Therefore, 1 = [3rd] | [1st]. Combining this with (1), we have

(4) {[3rd], [1st]} = {1,3}.

This implies {[5th], [0th]} = {4,5}:

┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐

└───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘

To avoid ⛔「⟨⋯ ᵃb ⋯⟩, |a-b|=1」, we cannot have 4 = [5th]. It follows that 4=[0th] and 5=[5th]:

Finally, to avoid ⛔「⟨ ⁵ᵗʰ↓ ⁴ᵗʰ↓ ³ʳᵈ↓ ²ⁿᵈ↑ ¹ˢᵗ↑ ⁰ᵗʰ↑ ⟩ after ⟨⇌⟩」, we finish by
