FPRD-QA-MG-C01

Small-board lifting census

Exact statement

Exact half-turn quotients of the 4-by-4, 5-by-5, and 6-by-6 knight graphs verify local lift counts and exhibit 6-by-6 quotient cycles of voltages zero and one.

StatusReproduced independently
External reviewNo documented external or specialist review of this Quotient Arsenal result is recorded.

Context

Orbit reachability, walk counts, unique lifting, and Hamiltonian preservation require different receipts. Stabilizer cosets control local choices, while voltage or monodromy controls closed lifts.

Proof or evidence

The one-voltage cycle lifts through all 36 vertices; the zero-voltage cycle splits into two 18-cycles.

Verification notes

The stabilizer-coset, equitable-partition, voltage, monodromy, and occupancy arguments were reconstructed. An independent implementation checked the 4-by-4, 5-by-5, and 6-by-6 half-turn quotients, walk counts through horizon four, the C4 parallel-edge control, and both 6-by-6 voltage outcomes.

Limitations

  • The computation calibrates the criterion and does not imply a small quotient solves the general tour problem.
