Euler excess of a category with tree slices #
This file formalizes the numerical part of the factor-excess argument in the
frozen manuscript. Suppose a graded translation quiver has levels
0,...,L, singleton source and sink levels, and every bipartite arrow slice
is a tree. If v j is the number of vertices at level j, the number of
arrows in slice j is v j + v (j+1) - 1. Summing gives
arrows = 2 * vertices - L - 2.
With one mesh for each nonprojective and p projective vertices, the intrinsic
Euler excess is therefore L - (p - 1). Positivity is reduced exactly to the
realization-theoretic bound p - 1 ≤ L.

The tree-slice count identifies intrinsic excess with the difference between grading length and the number of non-root projectives.
The realization bound projectives - 1 ≤ L is precisely what makes the
intrinsic factor excess nonnegative.
Under the tree-slice hypotheses, vanishing of the factor excess is equivalent to sharpness of the realization length bound.
The strengthened bound projectives ≤ L, supplied in the manuscript by a
thick indecomposable poset-space, makes the intrinsic excess strictly positive.
