Extend Level Switching paper with d>=2 preprocessing analysis

Add 21-vertex and 24-vertex examples showing recursive lopsidedness
at d=2. Empirically confirm that the iterated algorithm (balanced
switch when available, preprocess otherwise) drives every face to
depth 0 on all tested configurations. Frame the remaining open
question as identifying a strictly-decreasing monovariant under
unbalanced preprocessing switches.
