    Evidence

    Each proof establishes this claim relative to its assumptions.

    Theorem

    On every finite even vertex set, a logarithmic number of perfect matching rounds can be chosen across successive bisections so that the union of the matching-edge instances has constant expansion. This is the existential form of the cut-matching game used in the grid-minor proof; algorithmic running-time claims are intentionally omitted.
