\section*{Read These First}

\begin{enumerate}
\item \textbf{CMP} for the base object.
\item \textbf{MCP} through the stabilized tail.
\item \textbf{mcp-tail-review} to see what was kept and what was cut.
\item \textbf{combination-problem} to see the live empirical and
  conceptual split.
\item \textbf{blend-analysis} to see the strongest new mechanism claim.
\item \textbf{price-of-tropical-semiring} for the main theoretical
  response to that pressure.
\end{enumerate}

\section*{Minimal Summary}

The project now sits at a clarified boundary:
the MCP is strongest when read as the exact theory of tropical max-min,
while the strongest recent empirical pressure suggests that softer
combination rules may compress much better. The current work is about
stating that boundary honestly and deciding what broader theory, if any,
should sit above it.
