Authored summary

The tie-retaining rule is a symmetric threshold map, so the finite threshold-network period-two theorem applies.

The record cites sources for its explanation.

2Authored explanation

Retention on a two-against-two neighbor tie can be written as ordinary majority among five inputs: the four neighbors and the vertex's current color. Thus the update is a binary threshold network with a symmetric interaction matrix, including a diagonal self-weight of one.

Goles and Olivos proved that iteration of a finite symmetric binary threshold map reaches a fixed point or a cycle of length two. Their theorem applies to this torus and this tie convention. It justifies the fixed-point versus genuine-two-cycle dichotomy used by the candidate and the verifier. The theorem controls the possible eventual periods. It does not count either basin.
