The nonzero rows of the witness-and-batching multilinear that a constraint system’s shifts
reach: one row of weights per (shift variant, shift amount) pair actually named, each
tagged with its row index.
The number of variables the shift-and-bit phases of the reduction span: the bit position
within a word, the inner shift slot, and the outer shift slot.
The number of variables one shift-weight table spans: one row of weights per (shift
variant, shift amount) pair, one weight per bit position within a word.
