Within step-indexed horizon M279-0, a 30-unit treasury backing D'Alembert Pyramid for 144 hands (2 shoes) faces a 50-unit bet cap that quantifies 53.74% ruin exposure, 30.86% target attainment at +8u, and 15.41% time-limit expiration. 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 M279 (D'Alembert Pyramid, 30u bankroll, 144 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 M279 tests D'Alembert Pyramid with a $25 base unit and -15u/+8u absorbing boundaries.
Probability of hitting the -15u drawdown barrier before completing 144 hands or reaching +8u.
Share of 144-hand trajectories reaching the +8u session ceiling, with 15.41% ending between barriers.
A 50-unit house limit and 30-unit stack cap D'Alembert escalation after 5 adverse coups.
Derived from 177u total action (1.23x average wager) multiplied by the 1.0579% 8-deck Banker edge.
Horizon matrix M279-1 charts how D'Alembert (+1 on loss / -1 on win) behaves inside a 30-unit session budget across 144 coups, showing that a 50-unit pit limit and 15-unit floor generate a 53.74% drawdown-trigger rate alongside 2.27u in expected 8-deck vigorish.
