coloring_nested_tire_graphs: closed-chain SR+PDS converges to outer-triangle permutations

Browse Source 
Tested 10 closed PDS chains under SR (degenerate-inner T_1, varied
middle tires, outer-triangle T_n with m_n=3). In all cases:

  - Forward state grows in the middle (widest tires), shrinks toward outer.
  - Final state at outer-triangle L_n has size EXACTLY 6.
  - Those 6 elements are EXACTLY the permutations of {1,2,3}.
  - Outer-face dual-vertex constraint (degree-3, distinct colors) is
    satisfied in every chain.

This is strong empirical evidence that under SR+PDS, the entire
chain-pigeonhole story closes for 4CT:
  step 1 (saturation): proven
  step 2 (pairwise): automatic from step 1
  step 3 (chain consistency, open): always works
  step 4 (closed with outer-triangle constraint): always works,
    with the 6 outer-permutations as a clean attractor.

If this holds for all internally 6-connected G under SR (likely from
Birkhoff degree ≥ 5), it's a structural proof path for 4CT for
PDS-decomposable triangulations.

Remaining: prove SR holds for all internally 6-connected G; verify
exhaustively across more chains; find symbolic proof of the
"final state = exactly 6 permutations" attractor behavior.

"""Closed-chain consistency under SR + PDS with both endpoints constrained.
A planar triangulation $G$ with PDS source vertex has tire decomposition:
- Innermost: T_1 has degenerate B_in (just the source vertex);
B_out = L_1 (the source's neighbour cycle).
- Outermost: T_n has B_out = outer-triangle face boundary (length 3
for a triangulated disk), or B_out = L_{d_max}.
For proper edge 3-colouring of G', the outer face's dual vertex
(degree 3, incident to the 3 outer-triangle edge duals) requires
σ at the outer triangle to be a permutation of {1,2,3}.
So the closed-chain question is: starting from T_1's σ_U-support
(full proper cycle colourings of C_{m_1}), forward-propagate through
T_2, ..., T_n; does the final state at L_n = outer triangle contain
at least one permutation of {1,2,3}?
