Minimality of the finite-representable Nakayama kernel #

Minimality of the first projective syzygy presentation rules out nonzero injective retracts of the kernel of its Nakayama differential. This is the categorical finite-functor analogue of the classical transpose argument.

The abstract finite-projective Nakayama equivalence sends the actual first differential to the displayed Nakayama differential.
