A-4.5 bricks: the V-indexed signed count and the qDouble orientation bridge #
En-free pieces of the seam assembly: the finsum_sign_eq extraction re-indexed by a plain
finite type (the x₀-supported section makes the Gauss domain literally V), its two
pinned-count finales (∓2^m), and the U⁻¹/U orientation identification that matches
A-4.4b's Wall double to qDouble.
The signed-sum extraction over a plain finite type: with zeroCount q and #V known,
∑ᶠ sign(q v) = 2·zeroCount − #V (the GaussZLocal.finsum_sign_eq shape, En-free).
The minus finale: ∑ᶠ sign = −2^m from the unramified zero count
2^{2m−1} − 2^{m−1} (prop_6_9_unramified / zeroCount_of_arf_one's value).
The plus finale: ∑ᶠ sign = +2^m from the ramified zero count
2^{2m−1} + 2^{m−1} (prop_6_9_ramified / zeroCount_of_arf_zero's value).
The qDouble orientation bridge: for q invariant under U, the Wall-double twist
reads the same with U⁻¹ as with U — B(x, U⁻¹•x) = B(x, U•x) — so A-4.4b's value
q(v) + B(v, σ₂⁻¹•v) IS qDouble q (σ₂ • ·) at v.
The even-dimension fact: nonsingular ⟹ #V = 2^{2m} #
The c3-G0 package needs #V = 2^{2m} — the classical symplectic fact that a nonsingular
alternating pairing forces even dimension, in counting form: split off a hyperbolic pair
(v, w) through the surjective pairing hom u ↦ (B(u,v), B(u,w)) onto 𝔽₂²; the kernel
is the perpendicular complement, of index exactly 4, and stays nonsingular.
The consumer form: with a nonzero vector, #V = 2^{2m} with m ≥ 1 — the c3-G0
package's cardinality field, derived from the enrichment's nonsingular form.
