If you need some positive feedback; I've read your series and it looks good to me and going in a good direction.

I think "unborn branch" is a more accurate term than "orphaned branch". It's not perfect, but I don't have a better one to offer.

A nit in 1/2, which of course is not worth a re-roll, is a double blank line near the end; which I suspect is unintentional.

Just in case anyone else is looking for the thread where the puzzlement was reported:

Thank you.
