Ultimate arithmetic periodicity for Family C cut games

About 14 years old · traced to

Let C\mathcal{C} be a cut set satisfying

{1,2}⊆C,3∉C,\{1,2\}\subseteq\mathcal{C},\qquad 3\notin\mathcal{C},

and suppose that C≠{1,2}\mathcal{C}\neq\{1,2\}. This is Family C. Family C arithmetic-periodicity conjecture. The nim-sequence for every game of \textsc{cut} in Family C is ultimately arithmetic-periodic. The paper identifies Family C as one of the families whose patterns are not yet clear and records this observed ultimate periodicity as an open conjecture.
