Fixed points, return times and least positive periods are different notions; the conclusion concerns this finite model only. Positive period bound=2. Give (modulus,a,b,bound,every [point,least period or nonperiodic-point] row in point order,points whose least positive period is at most the bound).

Enumerate every state, distinguish transient starting points from cycle points and filter only defined least periods. This explicit finite/exact slice is neither a general theorem nor a judgment about a person. The exact result, retaining the requested order, is (6, -3, -1, 2, [[0, nonperiodic-point], [1, nonperiodic-point], [2, 2], [3, nonperiodic-point], [4, nonperiodic-point], [5, 2]], [2, 5]).
