+admissibility predicate `Admissible C s G` on networks. This module fixes the predicate for

+`Cslib.Complexity.CountingSimulation.ExplicitAdmissible`, the form in which the block-counting
+networks are built (milestone H3) and the contraction theorem consumes them (milestone T2).
+
+A network `(r, G)` is admissible at size `s` with constant `C` when `G` is bipartite with its
+first `r` vertices as rows (`Cslib.Circuits.Frontier.ExplicitTensorNetwork.IsRowsFirstBipartite`),
+it has at most `C s` edges and at most `C s` vertices, its maximum degree is at most `C ⌊log₂ s⌋`,
+every table lists the values at all bit strings on its ports, and it has at least `s` edges. The
+last two conditions spare the contraction algorithm short tables and networks much smaller than
+the size parameter.

+# The block-counting network families
+
+The explicit block-counting networks of #1833 (`Turing.MultiTapePTM.explicitBlockNetwork`) form
+a network family (`Cslib.Complexity.CountingSimulation.NetworkFamily`) for the accept count of
+every finite-state fair-coin machine, with explicit networks encoded by
+`Cslib.Circuits.Frontier.ExplicitTensorNetwork.encExplicitNetwork` and admissibility
+`Cslib.Complexity.CountingSimulation.ExplicitAdmissible`. This discharges the network interface
+of the counting simulation (milestone H3 of #1833), so the conditional class containments of
+`Complexity.Computability.Complexity.Classes.CountingSimulation.Containments` hold assuming only a
+contraction algorithm.
+
+**The family.** At the input `x`, the clock `t` and the schedule number `σ`, the network
+(`Cslib.Complexity.CountingSimulation.blockNetworkOf`) is the explicit block-counting network
+with blocks of `blockLength t = ⌈log₂ (t + 2)⌉` steps, `numBlocks t` intervals and the schedule
+of `σ`'s base-3 digits (`Turing.MultiTapePTM.scheduleOfNat`), together with its `numBlocks t (3 k
++ 2)` row vertices. The number of blocked heads is `k + 1` (the input head and the `k` work
+heads), and the admissibility constant is `6 (3 k + 1) (s + k + 4)` for `s` states.
+
+* **Construction.** The network is computed on numbers
+  (`Turing.MultiTapePTM.explicitBlockNetwork_eq_explicitNetworkNum`), in polynomial time
+  (`Turing.MultiTapePTM.computableInPolyTime_explicitNetworkNum`), with `2 ^ b ≤ 2 (t + 2)`.
+* **Counting identity.** Summing over the `3 ^ ((k + 1) numBlocks t)` schedule numbers is summing
+  over the schedules (`Turing.MultiTapePTM.sum_range_scheduleOfNat`), which gives the accept count
+  at the padded time (`Turing.MultiTapePTM.sum_contraction_explicitBlockNetwork`).
+* **Admissibility** follows from `Turing.MultiTapePTM.admissible_explicitBlockNetwork`, with the
+  vertex count, the table lengths and `t ≤ numBlocks t * blockLength t ≤ numEdges`.
+
+## Main definitions
+
+* `Cslib.Complexity.CountingSimulation.blockNetworkOf`: the network of an input, a clock and a
+  schedule number.
+* `Cslib.Complexity.CountingSimulation.blockNetworkFamily`: the network family of a machine.
+
+## Main results
+
+* `Cslib.Complexity.CountingSimulation.computableInPolyTime_blockNetworkOf`: the construction is
+  polynomial-time.
+* `Cslib.Complexity.CountingSimulation.networkFamilies_explicitAdmissible`: network families exist
+  for all machines.
+* `Cslib.Complexity.CountingSimulation.NTIME_subset_iUnion_DTIME_of_contractionAlgorithm`,
+  `BPTIME_subset_iUnion_DTIME_of_contractionAlgorithm`,
+  `PPTIME_subset_iUnion_DTIME_of_contractionAlgorithm`: the class containments assuming only a
+  contraction algorithm.
