The geometric order-seven backtracking obstruction #
This file isolates the lightweight geometric part of the backtracking argument from the large factor and resultant certificates. It turns a non-simultaneous-vanishing statement for the two relevant polynomials into the missing nonbacktracking hypothesis in the order-seven isogeny tower.

:
The image on the quotient curve of an order-49 point satisfying the
kernel condition is a root of the quotient seventh division polynomial.

:
If the backtracking selection polynomial and the quotient seventh division polynomial cannot both vanish, the residual Hauptmodul is not the Fricke parameter.

A polynomial nonvanishing obstruction supplies the missing nonbacktracking hypothesis in the existing order-seven isogeny-tower theorem.
