Triangular coding and block preprocessing

This file supplies the unconditional set-theoretic bookkeeping that precedes the character construction. The index set is the canonical well-order of cardinality continuum. All injective sequences in the corresponding free Abelian group are coded, and their codes are assigned distinct indices strictly above every coordinate in the sequence. The second half of the file constructs a genuine subsequence whose prescribed finite blocks are bounded-independent.

Full block preprocessing. For every triangular code and every prescribed positive block size sequence N and coefficient-bound sequence M, a genuine subsequence is chosen so that the shifted values in each block have exactly size N l and are M l-independent. The original strict support bound is preserved by passage to the subsequence.
