Representation ladder

R1 checks through R5 cross-model views, with canonicality and provenance.

  1. R1

    Checks

    Sparse Pauli generators in symplectic form, including stabilizer and gauge rows.

    • gauge-center-incidence canonical

      Binary symplectic gauge rows are exactly the translated B1 plaquettes; the displayed stabilizer incidence is derived by GF(2) nullspace and row reduction of their center. Incidence expresses operator support, not spatial geometry.

  2. R2

    Structure

    CSS pairs, chain complexes, lattices, and other structure behind the checks.
