886 — The Five-Point String Circuit Cancels Intermediate Resonances
Record
Date: 2026-08-18
Status: exact source-normalized five-point circuit/basis-expansion theorem. This verifies one nontrivial row of the circuit matrix; it is not yet the full two-period-matrix twisted-period identity.
Frozen source circuit
Mizera's equation (5.4) expands
in the basis
Write . The source intersection row is
Entry 883 supplies the diagonal kernel
Exact circuit reduction
Multiplication gives
The first component reduces by the sine addition identity:
Therefore
This exactly matches the primary source.
Resonance cancellation
Before composition, and display factors on
After the typed circuit composition, all displayed denominators except
cancel. Thus raw poles of an intersection row or inverse kernel are not individually circuit-invariant.
The surviving divisor is still an existing Koba--Nielsen facet letter, not a new incidence cell. Entry 885 should therefore be read basis-covariantly: circuit transport may move the displayed resonance among existing labelled boundary letters, while composition cancels intermediate factors.
Field-theory limit
As ,
which is the five-point BCJ basis expansion quoted by the source.
Narrow update
The first nontrivial string circuit closes using exactly
No extra carrier generator is required. The calculation also confirms that support must be assessed after typed composition, not factor-by-factor.
Next falsifier
Construct a second independent target row and verify the full circuit composition and cocycle-period intertwining. Then test whether the resulting circuit matrices satisfy composition under a third basis without introducing any non-Koba--Nielsen divisor.
