//! The **coalgebraic / `Poly` view**, made into checked code rather than narration.
//!
//! A certified refutation is a *discrete dynamical system* — a coalgebra `S → p(S)` for a polynomial
//! functor `p` (positions = states, directions = the certified moves available there), exactly
//! Spivak's model of dynamical systems in `Poly`. A Lyapunov measure is then a **coalgebra morphism
//! to the countdown coalgebra** `(ℕ, n ↦ n-1)` — the canonical well-founded object: it intertwines
//! the system's dynamics with the countdown's, i.e. every transition strictly decreases it.
//!
//! The load-bearing theorem (Taylor; Adámek–Milius–Moss on *well-founded coalgebras*): **a finite
//! system is well-founded (terminating — no infinite forward trajectory) iff it admits a morphism to
//! a well-founded object.** That equivalence *is* the synthesis–impossibility duality at the
//! categorical level: a collapsing measure is a countdown morphism, and its non-existence is the
//! presence of a cycle. We make both directions constructive and machine-checked here, and connect
//! it back: every Lyapunov trajectory this crate produces is a countdown morphism on its path system.
