The explicit reference affine orbit count #
This is Step S5 of the simplest AAK route. On a non-top Fox--Neuwirth vertex we use the
first-coordinate reference vector: the block-index vector modulo the diagonal. At a top-cell
vertex this vector is zero, so we perturb it in a rank-dependent direction. The adjacent gaps of
the perturbation direction are 1, 2, ..., p - 1.
For a maximal flag, positive barycentric coefficients force the bottom rank to agree with the
final top rank. Comparing adjacent labels then forces the bars to be removed in the identity
order. Thus one maximal flag is selected for every top Fox--Neuwirth cell. The selected flags
form one prime-symmetry orbit for p = 2 and two equally oriented orbits for odd primes.
At perturbation parameter zero the augmented affine determinant is the oriented maximal-flag
coefficient, up to the constant sign (-1)^(p-1). Since there are finitely many maximal flags, a
single sufficiently small positive perturbation preserves all determinant signs. This gives a
regular affine reference map whose orbit zero count is the previously computed nonzero value
FoxNeuwirth.referenceSignedOrbitCount p.

The cumulative-permutation determinant is the permutation sign.
Vanishing of all fixed difference coordinates implies vanishing of the weighted lifted difference for any two labels. This is the correct coordinate-free replacement for subtracting two target equations, and it also handles the omitted label.
Adjacent bottom ranks differ by one block exactly while their separating bar is retained.
For a selected flag, the sum of the earlier-stage block numbers of a label is the triangular number of its rank. This is the discrete antiderivative of the adjacent retained-bar indicator.
Summing the non-top vertices of a selected flag gives precisely its triangular top direction.

Equations
- One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Instances For
On a regular affine simplex, barycentric coordinates of a zero are unique, even before requiring positivity of every coordinate.
Any barycentric zero of the perturbed reference map has positive coefficient at the final top-cell vertex. If that coefficient vanished, the invertible block-vertex matrix would force all earlier coefficients to vanish as well, contradicting that barycentric coordinates sum to one.
Once the bottom and top orders agree, positivity of the final top weight makes the prefix sums strictly increasing, forcing the bar-removal schedule to be the identity.
Positive barycentric solutions of the perturbed reference equation are exactly the selected maximal flags.
Every barycentric zero on an arbitrary maximal simplex is interior.
