Decoding finite ladder blocks #
On paths reaching every negative integer level, consecutive first-passage times cut out finite tree excursions. Their record counts agree with DFS heights. Each block is also viewed as a point of the locally finite tree space.

On LadderFinite, the block decodes to a tree with the block's degrees.
The size of the r-th block tree is L (r+1) - L r.
