Let ι be a type, stage : ℝ → Set ι a stage family and J : ℝ → ι → ι → Prop a relation family satisfying the filtration law hLaw and the tameness module axioms hTame. Then for every level v and every v-cell C, the birth-supremum of C — the supremum of the ancestor-level set AncSet hLaw v C, i.e. the levels at which some cell coarsens to C — is a member of the critical set: birthSup hLaw v C ∈ (critSet hTame : Set ℝ). The proof combines two cases: either the birth-supremum differs from the cell's own level v, in which case t3_birthSup_in_critSet places it in the critical set (a non-critical birth-sup would admit a crit-free window above the ancestor levels, transferring ancestry strictly past the supremum), or the birth-supremum equals v, in which case v itself is critical (t3_bSup_self_crit, via the freshness characterization: otherwise freshness would push the birth-sup strictly above v). This unconditional membership is the load-bearing fact behind all band-to-pin census reductions: birth-suprema can only sit at critical levels.
