Closed faces carried by a core expansion #

The positive expansion certificate in CoreExpansion assigns length one to slots internal to a fibre and then contracts them topologically. A closed row construction instead assigns those slots length zero. The bridge between the two descriptions is the following fibre theorem: the equivalence relation generated by the slots tagged contracted is exactly equality under the expansion's fibre map.

This statement is genus-independent and contains no finite atlas data. It is the combinatorial heart of lowering a closed construction on a trivalent expansion back to the smaller core.

Slots which disappear in the closed face associated to an expansion.

    A chain of contracted slots stays in one fibre.

    Conversely, the finite-cut fibre condition in ExpansionData.Conditions forces every two vertices of one fibre to be joined by contracted slots.

    Expansion fibre theorem. The union-find quotient generated by the contracted expansion slots has exactly the fibres prescribed by D.fib.
