Appendix C

The kill matrix

1 min read
In-depth:

Per constraint, the number of cells it kills, in run A (freestanding), run B-consistent (the correct coupled run) and run B-strict (the withdrawn run with Hoehner's imported floor). Machine-computed from the logigram's output file (`logigram_output.json` in the deposit).

The eclipse (V-1) does not appear here as a cell killer: it does its work before the output, on the input side, by keeping four years of death (7, 6, 3, 2 BC) out of the table. What kills cells after that is Matthew 2 (run A) and Luke 3:23 (run B).

Run A: 124 cells alive, 128 dead. Run B-consistent: 149 alive, 607 dead. Run B-strict: 125 alive, 631 dead.
