Proof of 2026-04-14 WR
══════════════════════

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

Plainly, by ✅「⟨⋯ 1 ⋯ ? ⋯ 2 (?+1)⟩ (?≠2,1)」, we get

We consider what [0th] is. By ✅「⟨⋯ 1 ⋯ ? ⋯ 2 (?+1)⟩ (?≠2,1)」, it is not 0,1,2. By ✅「⟨⋯ 5 ⋯ 3 ⋯ 0 ⋯⟩」, it is not 3 or 5. Therefore, it is 4:

Now ✅「⟨⋯ 1 ⋯ ? ⋯ 2 (?+1)⟩ (?≠2,1)」 means:

(1) ⟨⋯ 1 ⋯ 3 ⋯ 2 4⟩.

Combining this with ✅「⟨⋯ 5 ⋯ 3 ⋯ 0 ⋯⟩」, we have the following required pattern:

(2) ⟨⋯ 1 ⋯ 3 ⋯ 0 ⋯⟩.

From (2) and ✅「⟨⋯ 5 ⋯ 3 ⋯ 0 ⋯⟩」, we see that 3,0 are to the right of 1,5, and that 0 is to the right of 3. There is only one way to do so:

Finally, to avoid ⛔「5th → a, 0th → b, |a-b|=3」, we finish by
