The threshold function of the compression argument #
threshold K : PolyTimeFun Prog ℕ computes e ↦ 2 ^ (K + 1 + esize e): the size of the
program in unary (sizeProg), plus the constant K + 1 (addConstProg), then the bit
string of the power of two (expBitsProg). In the recursive compression argument
(planning/compression-track.md, K3 step 4) the constant K is chosen, once and for all,
from the overhead polynomials of the toolkit so that n ≥ 2 ^ (K + 1 + |e|) makes every
polynomial in |e| + log n at most n.
k ↦ K + k on unary numerals.
