Pairings in canonical normal-form words #
This file classifies the directed polygonal identifications generated by both canonical boundary
word families. The nonorientable generators are same-parameter crosscap pairings and
opposite-parameter boundary-seam pairings. The orientable generators are opposite-parameter
a-handle, b-handle, and boundary-seam pairings. Each pairing appears in both source/target
orders. The free h dart in each boundary block occurs only once and contributes no gluing.
