MACS Violations in Deep Master Matrices
When generating deep master key hierarchies, mathematical combinations can produce adjacent cuts exceeding MACS (e.g. depth 0 next to depth 8).
Software Ramp Interpolation
CNC key cutting machines automatically interpolate steep transitions into smooth $45^\circ$ lead-in ramps, eliminating key insertion binding.
