Degree reasons force stabilization in a bounded region

A zero term remains zero after every transition, because a kernel subobject and an image quotient of the zero object are zero. Fix $(p,q)$, n=p+q. Let $S_{n-1}$ and $S_{n+1}$ be the finite sets of first coordinates of nonzero initial terms on the two adjacent diagonals. The outgoing target has first coordinate p-r on diagonal n-1; the incoming source has first coordinate p+r on diagonal n+1.

In the recursive representation of [F1], $Z_{r+1}$ is the inverse image of $\ker d^r$ under the epic quotient from $Z_r$, and $B_{r+1}$ is the inverse image of the incoming image. If the outgoing differential is zero, its kernel is the whole page and $Z_{r+1}=Z_r$. Conversely that equality and epic cancellation force the outgoing differential to be zero. If the incoming differential is zero, its image is zero and $B_{r+1}=B_r$. Conversely this equality forces its image to be zero, and therefore the differential to be zero. Applying each equivalence for every $r\ge R$ proves both eventual-stationarity equivalences, in both directions.

Choose an integer R≥r₀ greater than each integer in the finite set $\{p-a:a\in S_{n-1}\}\cup \{a-p:a\in S_{n+1}\}$. If this set is empty take R=r₀. For r≥R neither endpoint can be initially nonzero, and step 1.1 makes it zero on page r. Thus both maps vanish, proving stabilization by [F1].

On a fixed diagonal, finite support has an upper and lower integer bound (the empty support admits any bounds). Conversely the integers between two fixed bounds are a finite list, so support with both bounds is finite. For fixed $(p,q)$ a lower bound $a$ on diagonal $n-1$ makes the outgoing endpoint $p-r$ vanish for $r>p-a$. An upper bound $b$ on diagonal $n+1$ makes the incoming endpoint $p+r$ vanish for $r>b-p$. Zero terms persist by step 1.1, proving regularity and coregularity respectively. The substitution $(p,q)\mapsto (-p,-q)$ changes the outgoing degree to $(r,1-r)$ and reverses the support inequalities, proving the cohomological versions.

In the first quadrant, a diagonal has $0\le p\le n$ and is empty if n<0; in the third quadrant it has $n\le p\le 0$ and is empty if n>0. Both are finite, so step 2.1 applies. With globally finite support, apply step 2.1 to its finitely many positions and take the maximum of those bounds and r₀. Outside that support every term is zero. Thus every differential vanishes from that uniform page onward. Empty global support uses r₀.
