Circuit-count delta across a participating glued interface #
GlueRelTransport proved openCircuitCount stability for the open
single-pair glue when the glued edge's flags do not participate
in the edge subset. This file treats the participating case: the
lifted subset contains both boundary flags bf_i, bf_j of W,
which are boundary flags of the lifted edge subset, so the W-side
walks terminate there, while the glued walk continues through the
rewire.

Permutation counting helpers: sumCongr #
A rotation of length k ≥ 1 contributes exactly one orbit:
one nontrivial cycle when k ≥ 2, one fixed point when k = 1.
Generic walk lemmas #
Iterates of a periodic flag are periodic.
Reduce a walk index modulo a period.
Master collision lemma: along a walk whose pairings up to
step k are internal, the pairing of an iterate never equals an
iterate (parity argument on the alternating chain: a collision
would force a fixed point of the edge pairing or of the
matching).
The path matching has no fixed points.
Congruence for pathMatch in its base point.
Flags along a boundary-terminated chain segment are not periodic.
The participating open glue #
Interface membership #
Participation propagates to the far end of the j-edge.
With participation, bf_i is a boundary flag of the lift.
With participation, bf_j is a boundary flag of the lift.
Walk correspondence #
Walk correspondence from glued-side interface avoidance.
Walk correspondence from lifted-side internality data.
Under lifted-side internality, the glued pairings along the walk are internal.
Periodic-flag transport #
Periodic flags lift backward along the unglue transport (participating case: internality of the lifted-side pairings keeps the walk away from the interface).
Classification of glued periodic flags: either the value is periodic on the lifted side, or the flag lies on the orbit of one of the two interface far ends.
Exit forced to the interface #
If the glued walk entering the chain of a boundary flag b
has all its pairings internal, the W-side chain from b must
exit at the glued interface.
The link condition #
The interface link condition: the W-side chain from
bf_i (under the unglued transition data) exits at bf_j. When
it holds, gluing splices the two interface chains into one new
closed circuit; otherwise it concatenates two boundary paths.
Equations
- RS.EdgeSubset.InterfaceLinked hij hopen s' hc' hc κ' hpi = ((RS.EdgeSubset.RelTransitionSystem.unglueOpen hij hopen s' hc' hc κ').pathMatch (W.boundaryFlag i) ⋯ = W.boundaryFlag j)
Instances For
Feed-forward form of the link condition: it is literally
the pathMatch pairing of the two interface boundary flags.
If the far end of the i-edge is periodic in the glued
system, the interface is linked.
If the far end of the j-edge is periodic in the glued
system, the interface is linked.

The spliced interface cycle #
The near end of the entry edge is internal in the glued subset.
The entry value of the spliced walk.
The lifted walk from the entry point is the shifted chain.
The lifted pairings along the shifted chain stay internal.
Cycle values: the glued walk from the entry point follows
the W-side chain from b.
Exit flag: at step k - 1 the glued walk sits at the far
end of the exit edge.
The wrap: the glued walk closes up with period k.
The glued pairings along the spliced cycle are internal.
The spliced cycle is periodic in the glued system.
Cycle values are not periodic on the lifted side.
Distinctness along the spliced cycle.
Index reduction along the spliced cycle.
The linked case: the counting bijection #
Forward-map component: a lifted periodic flag, as a glued periodic flag.
Instances For
Forward-map component: a flag on a spliced cycle.
Equations
- RS.EdgeSubset.spliceFlag hij hopen s' hc' κ' x hper t = ⟨RS.EdgeSubset.iterWalk κ' (κ'.match_ x) t, ⋯⟩
Instances For
The linked-case conjugation: when the chain from bf_i
exits at bf_j, the glued walk permutation is, up to a bijection,
the lifted walk permutation plus two k-rotations (the two
directions of the spliced circuit).
The circuit-count delta #
Count delta in the linked case: the splice closes exactly one new circuit (two new walk orbits).
The circuit-count delta of a participating open glue: the
glued count exceeds the unglued count by 1 exactly when the
interface is linked.
