proposition. Finite certificates defeat an unrestricted never-reachable claim [ftip-00MS]

Fix a target with a finite accepted signed certificate under a decidable checker. If the baseline admits enumeration of all finite signed candidate strings over a finite alphabet in increasing length, checking each in finite time, then some admitted procedure discovers a certificate in finite total work.

This assumes enumeration and checking have the required memory and other resources as work grows; it does not override fixed hardware caps. It gives no useful realistic work bound and no fresh-task acquisition guarantee. Short compressed proofs may still be expensive to expand.

Independent restarted attempts of uniformly bounded cost with fixed success probability \(p>0\) have expected attempt count \(1/p\). Full token support alone does not establish restart access, termination or such a fixed probability for an adaptive lineage. Other processes can succeed almost surely with infinite expected time. Neither one slow process nor one failed search bounds all admitted alternatives.
