No escape hatch restores a positive marginal effect of escrow in the long-match limit: the release-clock wedge is either impossible outright or requires a filing threshold exceeding one, and short cycles are excluded by the limit itself.

Source quote, verbatim
No escape hatch exists on this domain: if dh ≤ R, with R the filed-thief recovery mixture defined above, the release-clock wedge is impossible outright; if dh > R, the wedge’s filing threshold exceeds one, because φ∗ > 1 exactly when q < C F + R, which positive carry guarantees in the limit. Short cycles are excluded by the limit itself.
