2Authored explanation

This packet uses balanced family as shorthand for normalized four-letter alphabets A={0<a<b<c} satisfying 0+c=a+b. Freedman and Brown determine g(A), the maximum length of an additive-square-free finite word, for this family. For the ten primitive normalized representatives with c<=8 after identifying A with c-A, the ordered maxima are 50,55,55,55,60,60,60,58,60,60 for 0123,0134,0145,0235,0156,0167,0257,0347,0178,0358.
