Unequal periods force recurrence on an opposite-side genus-one wedge #
This is the period-comparison calculation in the distinct-loop branch of
Theorem 4.13. The generic residue contradiction is kept in
NonrecurrenceWitness; this file supplies the wedge rank witnesses.

A nontrivial torsion witness on the left factor which is strictly smaller than the wedge period produces two distinct effective twists of the right marked vertex. Hence the wedge difference is recurrent.

In the distinct-factor situation, once the left period is chosen no
larger than the right period, nonrecurrence forces the two exact periods to
coincide. The hypotheses 1 < a and genus one on the right are exactly the
nondegenerate cycle conditions used by the paper's period comparison.
