(possibly bad) Idea for (debatably) easier ragged arrays

I could be having a slow day but I’m mostly confused by that last post… you don’t see how it fixes the problem, then you see that my code is like the ragged plan, then you’re worried that it’s still data dependent? From my perspective, if I don’t need anything approximating that pseudostancode I posted, it’s fixed, but I think you have other problems in mind.
