Linear independence along a special-biserial branch #
The unique-continuation condition orders the surviving paths beginning with one fixed arrow by length. Even when the presentation is not monomial, the images of those paths with a fixed endpoint are linearly independent. The key point is that a relation with a shortest nonzero coefficient factors as a nonzero scalar plus a positive-tail endomorphism; admissibility makes the positive part nilpotent, hence the factor is invertible.
If the nonzero images of basis vectors are linearly independent, a vector killed by the linear map has zero coefficient at every basis vector whose image is nonzero.
