Enters steady state at cycle 1224 which is after 17 outputs or 8th failed suppression, where the number of atoms repeats itself every 7 outputs or 42 tape loops.

The primary promise for the unification to work is that every molecule that suppresses input has to have a salt at critelli hex. The secondary promise for making the primary promise possible to meet is that all empty slots has to be directly on the counterclockwise side of the critelli hex.

Arm 3 pulls single center water into staging area and pushes a stick of two atoms back from staging area when available. This recycling method allows some molecules to stay full all the time.

It's very helpful for pivoting to leave arm 2 a hex arm instead of making it a penta arm. Hex arm means that the salts rejected by unification glyph stay on the same two molecules, and then recycling of center water will never meet a rejected salt.

Tape length of 12 is needed not only from arm 3 handing off to arm 2 but also arm 2-4-3-5-6-8-7 where any of the 6 gaps are critical to avoid bad grabs.
