BGW.StableTrees.LongExtractionExclusion

Excluding early long discrete blocks #

A hypothetical sequence of early long blocks has compact endpoint limits. Their running infima agree, contradicting the least-long-label property.

Long blocks cannot end before a fixed time strictly below the first start plus one. Reference: Billingsley (1999), Chapter 3.
