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.

    • primary-stabilizer-incidence canonical

      Each bulk row acts as X, Z, Z, X on northwest, northeast, southwest, southeast corners. Boundary rows restrict the same face pattern to the retained pair. The generic incidence scene derives all operator support from the check matrix; node labels give the grid coordinates. It is an incidence view, not a geometric rendering.
