ADVANCE: moving the working cell one address, mirror in tow #
The round every sweep of the EXPSPACE program repeats: erase the working-cell
marker and step right; write it
at the next address and step on; scan up to the top of the register file;
bounce – the scan cannot overshoot the maximal cell, so entering the
downward pass costs two steps, left to the top's predecessor and back right,
changing phase; run the mirror increment down the file
(DescriptiveComplexity.Draw.Prog.reaches_fileIncr); scan back down to the marker.
DescriptiveComplexity.Draw.Prog.reaches_fileAdvance is the whole round, and the
first composite of the layer: two Prog.step_moves, a
Prog.reaches_toCell, two bounce steps, a pass and a
Prog.reaches_toCellBack, chained by Relation.ReflTransGen. Its hypotheses
are the six rule families of the phases it visits plus the background's slot
equations, and nothing else – which is the evidence the pass layer's
interfaces (the element-valued background, the cell-coupled walking rules, the
stop-ahead bounds) are the right ones: every one of them is consumed here.
The working cell and its successor lie strictly below the register file, so the cell-coupled walking hypotheses – whose cells are all at or above a register – never meet the marker, and one rule family per walking phase serves both the pass's descent and the return scan.
One round of a sweep, the budget forgotten.
