  "body": "The audit searched for synchronous majority dynamics on finite graphs, period-two behavior of symmetric threshold functions, toroidal majority cellular automata, and exact basin counts. The 1981 paper of Goles and Olivos supplies the general period-one-or-two theorem. Benjamini, Chan, O'Donnell, Tamuz, and Tan cite the finite period-two property while studying convergence on infinite unimodular graphs and random finite graphs.\n\nNo located primary source reports the basin numerator for \\(C_8\\square C_8\\) with retention on a four-neighbor tie. This is a search result rather than a proof of novelty. A complete entry needs a replayable symbolic count, such as a reduced decision diagram or transfer computation, whose fixed and two-cycle basin counts sum to \\(2^{64}\\).",
