Paired terms in Vélu's formulas #
This file isolates the two elementary chord-law identities behind the
paired form of Vélu's formulas. Pairing a point R = (r, s) with -R
removes the source ordinate from the abscissa correction. The corresponding
completed-ordinate sum is the formal derivative of that correction times
the completed ordinate of the input point.
The total coordinate evaluators below assign zero to the point at infinity.
This convention is convenient for finite kernel-orbit sums; the paired
identities themselves only evaluate affine sums guaranteed by x ≠ r.
The abscissa of an affine point, extended by zero at infinity.

The completed ordinate 2y + a₁x + a₃ of an affine point, extended
by zero at infinity.

Pairing R and -R in the chord law gives the standard paired
abscissa term in Vélu's formula.
The paired completed-ordinate sum is the derivative correction times the completed ordinate of the input point.
