Finite abelian sewing by cycle circulation

Exact statement

An edge receipt on a finite connected graph is killed by vertex corrections exactly when its circulation vanishes on a cycle-space basis.

StatusProved and verifier-backed
External reviewNo documented external or specialist review of this Quotient Arsenal result is recorded.

Context

The general calculus treats a failed lift as a cocycle, its cohomology class as the obstruction, and a primitive—when one exists—as the receipt that repairs the presentation.

Proof or evidence

A spanning-tree construction gives the potential; independent cycle checks include a nonzero triangle obstruction.

Verification notes

The exact archived proofs were reconstructed, the displayed hypotheses and degree conventions were checked, the original finite controls were replayed, and an independent implementation tested the connecting, graph-transport, staged, and missing-subcomplex boundaries.

Limitations

  • The coefficient system is abelian and transport must be included when it is nontrivial.

Open work

Use this as the degree-one control case for every new sewing doctrine.
