## Problem 097 — rank:73

**Title:** Co-translational folding law

**Added binding assumptions (LaTeX):**

```latex
Require each residue-insertion operator to preserve probability and specify the initial chain-length distribution. At length $L$, replace further elongation by an explicit release transition or set $v_L=0$ until release is separately modeled; otherwise terminal probability mass leaks out of the system. Define the native event at the resulting release stopping time and include degradation or incomplete chains as separate outcomes.
