  "relevance": "For Eventual existence of four-letter circular abelian-square-free words, record casf4-attempt-selected-witness-insertion (“Every length-eight orbit blocks one-letter insertion”) documents a concrete method, search boundary, or failed route. The record states: Complete enumeration finds zero valid one-letter insertion edges from any of the 16 length-eight orbits to a length-nine circular word; selected witnesses at 14 later lengths are also insertion dead ends.",

  "body": "The replay built the complete insertion graph on every alphabet-permutation orbit through length 16. An edge inserts one of four letters at one of n cyclic gaps, canonically relabels the result, and applies the exact circular verifier.\n\nThe length-eight layer has 16 valid orbits. Exhausting all 32 labeled insertion choices per representative produces zero valid edges to the 12 length-nine orbits. Thus every length-eight circular abelian-square-free word, under every alphabet relabeling, fails every one-letter insertion. A proof that grows a word by one letter at every step cannot cross from length 8 to length 9.\n\nThe same replay tested the selected DFS witness at each n through 36. For every n=8,...,36, all four fixed-seam appends fail. At n in\n`{8,17,18,19,21,24,25,26,27,28,29,33,34,35,36}`,\nall 4n cyclic-gap insertions fail. The later failures apply to the selected witnesses. At n=8 the conclusion covers every witness orbit.",
