Transferring plane estimates to the cage witness count #
This file combines the geometric Hasse--Weil estimates, the explicit plane
comparison, the exact d-fold power-cover multiplicity, and the all-axis
equivalence.
Replacing either cage trace by another trace with the same square does not change the pulled root-pair cover.

Instances For
The diagonal plane estimate gives the canonical cage range estimate with the correct geometric multiplicity two.
When the two cage traces have the same square, their pulled radicands coincide and the diagonal multiplicity-two estimate applies unchanged.
Away from the equal-square diagonal, the primitive quartic plane model has the same main term as the pulled root-pair cover, up to its explicitly bounded exceptional fibers.
A fixed cage-plane estimate supplies the corresponding fixed witness estimate. The proof chooses the geometric multiplicity only after splitting the genuine equal-square and off-diagonal cases.
The single allowed general affine Hasse--Weil theorem supplies the full cage witness estimate.
