Source-sum cancellation for maximal Fox--Neuwirth flags #
This module performs the finite source-sum reindexing left open after the explicit maximal-flag bridge. Rather than classifying a rank-two interval abstractly, it works with the concrete code
(bottom permutation, bar-removal permutation, top permutation).
For the bottom deleted face, the source sum is paired by bottomPartner. For every positive
internal deleted face, it is paired by the corresponding removalPartner. The bridge theorems
from MaximalFlagBridge show that paired codes produce the same deleted simplex, while the code
orientation changes sign. Mathlib's finite fixed-point-free involution cancellation theorem then
makes each code-indexed internal source sum vanish.
The deleted-face index carried through this module is k : Fin ((p - 2) + 2), matching the index
type of TopFlagSubdivision.deletionCoefficient. Restriction of a (p - 1)-dimensional flag
toSimplex hp z along that index uses the built-in-cast coface map deleteFace, which absorbs the
(p - 2) + 2 vs p - 1 + 1 reindexing.

The code-indexed bottom-face source sum vanishes.
A removal partner negates the complete positive-internal-face summand.
The two purely enumerative facts needed to identify code-indexed sums with the original maximal-simplex sums. This structure contains no cancellation or boundary assertion.
- bijective_toSimplex : Function.Bijective (toSimplex hp)
- coefficient_eq (z : Code p) : TopFlagSubdivision.integralCoefficient (toSimplex hp z) = coefficient z

The explicit code map as an equivalence, once completeness of the enumeration is known.

Instances For
Reindex an actual fixed-position simplicial source sum by maximal-flag codes.
The completed finite source-sum reindexing proves the original rank-two cancellation as soon as the explicit maximal-flag enumeration is identified with all maximal simplices.
With the terminal theorem already proved, complete encoding yields the full simplicial cycle.
The finite source-sum cancellation step is unconditional at the explicit code level.
