1704 — The Extra Soft Covariance Signs Form a Reduced-H0 Costalk
Gysin/costalk falsifier
Entry 1703 finds Z2^{c(H)} component signs on the nonzero support graph H.
Determine whether the extra signs have a canonical description in the existing
Cut incidence calculus.
Incidence calculation
Over Z2, the labelled graph boundary satisfies
Consequently
The generic connected sign specializes diagonally:
Its cokernel is
The exact checker constructs the labelled incidence matrices for every support of every connected simple graph through six vertices and verifies this rank formula.
Narrow result
They are not merely an unexplained loss of transport, and they do not require a new carrier stratum. They are a support-sensitive coefficient costalk derived from the frozen incidence boundary.

Next falsifier
Compute specialization through a flag of nested zero-normal supports. Test whether reduced-H0 costalks compose by the standard long exact sequence of a pair or require an excess coherence class at simultaneous softening.
