Under step-indexed boundary rules in M406-0, pairing 2-1-2 Manhattan Progression with 40 units across 1 shoes (72 hands) and a 40-unit maximum maps a 18.60% stop-loss absorption rate, surviving at most 6 adverse steps before asymmetric survival-window truncation. Every 8-deck hand remains statistically independent (45.86% Banker, 44.62% Player, 9.52% Tie), meaning progression sizing reshapes session variance without altering the house edge.
Reference 8-deck shoe for Matrix Cell M406 (2-1-2 Manhattan Progression, 40u bankroll, 72 hands). Big Road and Bead Plate show Banker (red) and Player (blue); derived roads record structural symmetry.
Column 2 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).
Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 2, the one that just finished, with Column 1.
Column 4 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).
Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 4, the one that just finished, with Column 2.
This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).
Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 2 stopped exactly one row above this bead.
Matrix cell M406 tests 2-1-2 Manhattan Progression with a $25 base unit and -20u/+10u absorbing boundaries.
Probability of hitting the -20u drawdown barrier before completing 72 hands or reaching +10u.
Share of 72-hand trajectories reaching the +10u session ceiling, with 40.94% ending between barriers.

Derived from 87u total action (1.21x average wager) multiplied by the 1.0579% 8-deck Banker edge.
Audit M406-1 documents the eight-deck trajectory of 2-1-2 Manhattan when anchored to 40 units and a 72-hand (1-shoe) schedule: the 40-unit maximum wager restricts recovery at step 6, locking in a 18.60% stop-loss frequency and $26 in mathematical friction.
Under absorbing-barrier boundary rules in M406-2, pairing 2-1-2 Manhattan Progression with 40 units across 1 shoes (72 hands) and a 40-unit maximum benchmarks a 18.60% stop-loss absorption rate, surviving at most 6 adverse steps before bankroll-constrained stake-velocity truncation.

Audit M406-3 models the bankroll-constrained cycle-span of 2-1-2 Manhattan when anchored to 40 units and a 72-hand (1-shoe) schedule: the 40-unit maximum wager restricts recovery at step 6, locking in a 18.60% stop-loss frequency and $26 in mathematical friction.
Under capital-bounded boundary rules in M406-4, pairing 2-1-2 Manhattan Progression with 40 units across 1 shoes (72 hands) and a 40-unit maximum computes a 18.60% stop-loss absorption rate, surviving at most 6 adverse steps before variance-scaled cycle-span truncation.
