A level-three shape is the coordinatewise sum of two positive level-two 112 shapes exactly when it is a permutation of 224 or 233.

This finite combinatorial helper records that every positive level-2 shape summing to four is a permutation of 112, and that two such children sum only to a permutation of 224 or 233.
