ANF form of the low--low quartic exclusion #
The rational--rational product may have Boolean lower-degree terms when the quartic part is nonzero. For two aligned products it is literally the same term, so it cancels before the cubic and quadratic projections are evaluated. This is the circuit-facing version of the exterior theorem.
An affine factor together with a linear combination of rational-place targets.
Equations
Instances For
Two products with an aligned nonzero quartic basis cannot expose a new target quadratic direction.
Adding a rational-low correction preserves the target ambient space. Keeping this elementary submodule step opaque prevents the elaborator from repeatedly unfolding the represented low factors in the basis-change argument below.
