A banana pair with a double chip at the short end #
This is the solid subgraph of Atanasov--Ranganathan's third scope for their
seventh genus-five family (atlas row 08). It is not one of the eleven
pictures of their Proposition 5.1: the closest, the Fourth, puts its single
chip on a banana vertex rather than at the end of a leg. The module is
therefore named for its geometry, following the ConfigurationThreeChain /
ConfigurationBananaTail precedent.
A B A carries one chip, B carries TWO
| | u, v are chip free, joined by a banana
u ===== v |u A| = p, |v B| = q, q ≤ p
The pair is lopsided -- the arms have different lengths -- and the target is
the far vertex u, the one whose arm is the long one. With
par = min m1 m2 the profile is the two nested minima
hv = min (2 * q) p
hu = min p (hv + par)
and only the double chip makes it possible: with a single chip at B the
far vertex of a lopsided banana pair is unreachable by any script of this shape,
because the arm v B can then carry at most one unit of slope while the two
banana slots charge v twice.
Three ways u gets its chip, which are the three arguments of the two minima:
hu = p-- the armu Ais full and delivers;hu = hv + parwithpar > 0-- the shorter banana slot is full and delivers, andvpays the two banana chips out of the two it drew alongq;par = 0-- the banana has collapsed,uandvare the same contracted class, and the chip is charged tov(or, whenq = 0as well, toBitself). That is thekparameter below.
The near vertex is where the double chip is spent: far_partner_nonneg is the
statement that v still balances, and its proof is the only place in the whole
programme where a canonical ramp runs at slope two -- headContribution q 0 (2 * q) = 2. The four one-edge facts that needs are proved first.
One-edge arithmetic at slope two #
ConfigurationFive's ledger bounds every endpoint slope by one in absolute
value, which is right for a divisor with one chip per arm end. The double chip
allows -- and needs -- slope two on its own arm.
An arm read from its head delivers a chip as soon as its rise reaches the arm's length.
Slope two. An arm whose rise is twice its length delivers two chips at its head. This is what the double chip buys.
The matching cost: an arm of rise at most twice its length takes at most two chips from its tail.
The double chip pays for its own arm.
The profile #
The height at the near vertex: two chips' worth of its own arm, clamped by the far arm.

The two residual statements #
Both are stated at the orientation row 08 reads them in: the far arm from its
tail, the near arm from its head. The mirror orientation is not needed, because
the fourth sign pattern of row 08 is the sigma image of the third and is
obtained by transport rather than by a second proof.
The far vertex, the target. k is one exactly when the delivered chip
is charged here; the hypothesis says that is legitimate.
The near vertex, under the double chip. It balances because its own arm runs at slope two exactly when the banana charges it twice.
