Entry facet
Representation ladder
R1 checks through R5 cross-model views, with canonicality and provenance.
- R1
Checks
Sparse Pauli generators in symplectic form, including stabilizer and gauge rows.
stabilizer-incidence canonical
The binary symplectic representation retains both stabilizer and gauge rows. The generic orienting view shows center-check support on data qubits; it does not display the gauge subsystem or imply a hardware layout. Gauge generators remain available in the executable formal description.
