Finite exact-density tile families for multiset profile graphs

From papers

Let Δq(d)\Delta_q(d) be the set of nonnegative integer vectors with qq coordinates summing to dd, and let Mq(d)M_q(d) be the size of the largest additive checksum fiber, given by the divisibility-regime formula stated in the source. A finite-state program assigns weights to coordinate-symmetric induced templates and certifies upper bounds for αq(d)\alpha_q(d).

Finite exact-density tile-family conjecture. For every fixed qq, there is a finite coordinate-symmetric family of induced templates of independence density 1/q1/q such that, in every divisibility regime of the formula for Mq(d)M_q(d), the associated finite-state program certifies

αq(d)=Mq(d)\alpha_q(d)=M_q(d)

for all sufficiently large dd, apart from finitely many exceptional degrees.

The conjecture proposes a finite-template explanation for eventual optimality of the additive checksum construction in every fixed alphabet size. The paper establishes several cases, including q=3,4,5,7q=3,4,5,7, but the asserted statement for every fixed qq remains open.
