The single-pair gluing infrastructure #
The infrastructure of the single-pair gluing analysis: the
extended-state evaluation (extendPair_left, extendPair_right,
extendPair_surviving), the glueAttach correspondence, the
through-flag membership characterization, and the through-factor
arithmetic (oddPartnerSign_sq, oddPartnerSign_cast_sq).
Why every cut in the development is ordered: the naive
transposed-factor weighting is order-sensitive — the W-side
through-product of a closed-off edge reads
throughStateFactor (st (min i j)) (st (max i j)), so for
i < j the ε pairs with its transpose and the odd block sums to
−2ℓ (as required by the circle prefactor (k − 2ℓ)), while for
j < i it pairs with itself and sums to +2ℓ; gluing a strand's
two ends with i = 1, j = 0 gives k + 2ℓ instead of k − 2ℓ.
All cuts in the development are therefore ordered.
Evaluation of the extended state #
The extended state's value at the first glued label.
At the second glued label.
And at a surviving label, where it is the state extended.
The ledger sums #
The square of the odd partner sign is one.
The square of the odd partner sign is one, read through the integer cast.
The closed-case correspondence engine #
Unfolded membership in the through-flags (stated generically to avoid reducibility friction at glued fragments).
List and membership helpers #
attachWith respects permutations.
Finset-supported multisets map equally along a bijection of their supports (stated without decidability data so that it applies by unification against glued-fragment goals).
The in-flag lists across the closed glue #
The lifted in-flag list is a permutation of the projected glued in-flag list.
Members of the projected glued in-flag list are internal in the lift.
Pointwise core data agreement #
The list conversions #
The vertex data transports #
The even colour multiset agrees across the closed glue.
The core odd sign at a vertex agrees across the closed glue.
The evaluated core odd list at a vertex agrees across the closed glue.
Boundary-match transports #
