Elimination pattern conjecture for admissible colorings

Let KK be a combinatoric, let gg be the genus of \absK\abs{K}, and let KK^\ast be its dual complex. An admissible coloring of KK^\ast is a coloring satisfying the condition that every two-simplex contains exactly three arrows pointing outward or corners. Elimination pattern conjecture. There is an admissible coloring of KK^\ast such that, if g=0g=0, every one-simplex of KK^\ast has exactly one arrow, exactly six corners of KK^\ast are colored, and for any two adjacent zero-simplices ii and jj the colored corners can be chosen as the union of the corners of ii and jj; while, if g1g\geq 1, exactly one arrow lies on all but 6g66g-6 one-simplices of KK^\ast, and no corners are colored. This coloring is intended to provide the pattern needed for the proof of the paper's main theorem; whether it exists in the stated generality is left unresolved in the supplied text.
