The Gallier--Xu Dyck rewrite #
This file implements the common-subdivision identity underlying Gallier--Xu's handle extraction and boundary-loop grouping:
We retain the edge name a for b. Both one-face words split to signed-isomorphic two-face
presentations. The isomorphism exchanges the retained copy of a with the fresh cutting edge and
reverses the former. The side words U, V, and X must not use a; this is exactly the
side-condition available when the displayed two darts are the two occurrences of an inner edge.
A finite-cyclic presentation with one explicitly indexed face.

Instances For
A cyclic spelling of the target word a V U a⁻¹ X, chosen so its common P2 subdivision is
definitionally transparent.

Instances For
Match the explicit face indices of the two canonical splits.

Instances For
The selected target child maps to a cyclic rotation of the selected source child.
The right target child maps to a cyclic rotation of the right source child.
The two canonical P2 splits in the Dyck rewrite differ only by signed edge relabeling.

Instances For
The Gallier--Xu Dyck rewrite has a common directed subdivision.
The Dyck rewrite preserves faithful polygonal realizations whenever the two displayed one-face presentations are ordinary-valid.
