abstract: "Boundary-conditioned endpoint moments give order-independent finite-depth entropy-rate enclosures for finite-state arithmetic programs with subexponential factor multiplicity. Includes proofs, exact integer-order replicas, unequal-clock and hidden-source support, and reproducible finite tests. Priority and major-breakthrough status are not established; the fair-Salem maximal-entropy equality is not proved."
