Reversal invariance of finite-string detectors #
The finite detector index identifies a string with its formal reverse. This file constructs the corresponding natural linear equivalence of detector spaces. The proof uses the already formalized change-of-split theorem: at the source end of a nontrivial word, the complete-word detector is the swapped pair presentation of the detector of the reversed word.
View an endpoint word through the canonical double-negation equality of its target polarization.
Instances For
The swapped pair presentation at the far endpoint is the detector of the nontrivial half.
Instances For
Swapping the far-end pair presentation commutes with every module morphism.
Naturality in the inverse direction, used to move an ordinary detector to the swapped pair presentation.
The two polarized trivial-word detectors at one vertex are naturally equivalent.
Instances For
The trivial-word equivalence commutes with module morphisms.
Naturality of the inverse trivial-word equivalence.
Two nontrivial packaged endpoint words with the same literal word are equal, including their target vertex and polarization indices.
Bijectivity of a detector map depends only on the literal oriented word, not on the redundant polarization of the trivial word.
The swapped endpoint pair associated with C is always a valid string:
its complete word is the formal reverse of C.word.
The complete word obtained from the swapped endpoint pair of C.
Instances For
A nontrivial detector is naturally equivalent to the canonical detector of its reversed literal word.
Instances For
Reversal of a nontrivial detector commutes with every module morphism.
Bijectivity transfers from a nontrivial detector to the canonical detector of its reversed literal word.
Bijectivity for the chosen representative of every inversion class implies bijectivity for every literal endpoint word.
