An explicit genus-two model attached to order eighteen #
The order-nine Tate-parameter equation admits the rational parameter
d = c² / (b - c).
Away from the nondegenerate loci already supplied by
exists_tateOrderEighteen_certificate, it gives
c = d²(d - 1) and b = c(d² - d + 1).
Combining this parametrization with the rational root of the Tate two-division polynomial gives the auxiliary equation
(2s + 1)(d²(d - 1)s² - (d² - d + 1)) = s².
The displayed rational change of variables then produces a point on
Y² = X⁶ - 4X⁵ + 10X⁴ - 10X³ + 5X² - 2X + 1.
This file proves only these algebraic reductions. In particular, it does not assert the rational-point classification of this genus-two curve.

The nondegenerate order-nine Tate equation has the claimed rational parametrization.
After the order-nine parametrization, a root of the two-division polynomial gives the displayed auxiliary equation.
The denominator in the genus-two change of variables cannot vanish on the nondegenerate auxiliary curve.
The rational change of variables sends the auxiliary equation to the standard sextic model.
A nondegenerate point of the auxiliary curve does not map to the affine point with abscissa zero.
A nondegenerate point of the auxiliary curve does not map to the affine point with abscissa one.
A point of exact order eighteen supplies a nondegenerate rational point on the explicit genus-two model, together with all Tate parameters, denominator conditions, source equations, and the original discriminant scale.
This is only a reduction theorem. It does not classify the rational points of the genus-two curve.
A route-neutral exclusion of noncuspidal rational points on the hyperelliptic model rules out exact rational order eighteen.
