For any strictly increasing real sequence a indexed by natural numbers, positive k and finite original prefix of m labels with 2k<m, and s,L with s+L+2k<=m, construct L+1 distinct actual extreme points of the ORIGINAL dimension-2k mean-centered moment halfspace intersection. Point t has precisely the consecutive original labels s+t through s+t+2k-1 tight. Every successive segment is an actual exposed subset of the original feasible set. Every original row is tight along an interval of the constructed path, and L<=m-2k. No feasible point, exchange sequence, rank, exposedness or short-path oracle is assumed. This is a constructed class of routes through consecutive-block vertices, not a route between all arbitrary vertices or a solution of Polynomial Hirsch.

Builds on accepted #295 Hirsch.moment_common_rows_expose_edges and its unchanged namespace prefix, using exact consecutive-root support polynomials. The paired/cyclic moment combinatorics are classical; compare Maksimenko (2009), The diameter of the ridge-graph of a cyclic polytope, DOI10.1515/DMA.2009.003. No historical-priority or improved general cyclic diameter claim.
