787 — Two Coefficient Monodromies Do Not Yet Exhaust Physical Path Dependence

Coefficient continuation

On the weighted exceptional coordinate $t$, Entry 778 gives the coefficient restriction

$$C_E^{\rm exc}(t) =\frac{1}{2(t^2-1)}(0,-1,0,3)^T.$$

Its finite coefficient singularities are exactly

$$t=1, \qquad t=-1.$$

Consequently, on the coefficient side alone, continuation in $\mathbf C\setminus\{\pm1\}$ is controlled by two fundamental-group generators. Path independence of a coefficient section can be tested by the two associated monodromy operators $M_+$ and $M_-$.

Physical continuation has a larger possible discriminant

Entry 785 requires transport of the source-normalized Cayley--Menger relative cycle. Its admissible path domain is not determined solely by the coefficient poles: one must also remove the discriminant of the transported fiber pair and any singular support introduced by the normalized measure.

Entry 786 proves that the first exceptional Cayley--Menger boundary equation is independent of $t$. This shows that no additional $t$-puncture is visible at that first carrier layer. It does not prove that the complete measure-valued relative cycle has no higher-order or distributional singularities in $t$.

Therefore the two coefficient monodromies are necessary but not yet a complete physical path-independence test:

$$\boxed{ \Delta_{\rm total} =\{t=1,t=-1\}\cup\Delta_{\rm CM,current}, }$$

where $\Delta_{\rm CM,current}$ must be derived from the simultaneous strict transform of the contour and its measure.

Finite decision procedure

1. Compute the first nonzero exceptional Cayley--Menger current with the complete source measure.
2. Factor its $t$-dependent singular support.
3. Add those factors to $\{t\pm1\}$.
4. Compute monodromy of the source relative-cycle class around one generator for each resulting irreducible puncture.
5. Compare with the coefficient transport before applying the $\mu_2$-trace.

Only if the transported pairing is invariant under every generator does it descend independently of the continuation path.

Next falsifier

Complete Entry 786's measure-valued exceptional-current calculation and export the exact $t$-singular support. If it is empty, the physical monodromy audit reduces to $M_+$ and $M_-$. If it is nonempty, every new generator must be retained rather than hidden in a chosen continuation path.
