Maximal Repeat Types: Demo Rules & FAQ

The raw score is the count of distinct nonempty factors appearing at least twice, having at least two distinct left extensions and two distinct right extensions. Beginning and end sentinels count as extensions.

Players select one of three scoring modes, which change how the raw score is calculated:

• Power 1 (Raw Score): The raw count itself.
• Power 2 (Squared Score): The raw score raised to the power of two.
• Power 3 (Cubed Score): The raw score raised to the power of three.

Each mode has a specific unconditional mean used to price the game:

The live gross bank quote is calculated as:

0.96 × captured whole stake × conditional expected terminal raw score raised to selected power ÷ unconditional mean for that power.

The quote can rise or fall as bits are revealed. If the conditional potential drops to zero, the round settles immediately with zero gross. Manual banking is available at any time while the round is live.

Each semantic reveal follows a 650ms interval. Twelve independent fair bits define 4096 equally likely complete words.

Players can set an automatic reveal cap to 4, 8, or 12 revealed phases. The game automatically banks the current quote when the cap is reached or if zero conditional potential occurs earlier. No hidden future bits are exposed before their scheduled reveal.

The demo wallet starts with a balance of 1000 virtual coins. A manual idle-only restoration sets the balance to exactly 1000 when the user is idle and the balance falls below 10. This action preserves any fractional carry.

Persistence rules:

• Fractional carry persists across settlement, refill, and reload.
• Settled balances persist locally, including zero.
• Reloading an unfinished trace ends it without refund or resume.

Capturing stake, power, and cap locks these settings until settlement. Unused future bits are averaged exactly.

Any bounded stopping rule has a 96% expected gross return before integer rounding. This is the exact expected value, not a guarantee of net profit.

Simulation measurements support this but are not the law:

Controls are locked while active and through any auto queue. Stake, mode, and refill options are unavailable until the round settles, though sound remains available.

There is no Auto10 queue. The demo uses browser localStorage for settled demo balance and fractional carry. This does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing. A Google Fonts stylesheet is declared, but actual browser request capture is pending.
